Started at 1am, quick ride out of the city which leads to a lot of off-roading. Forget about your plans to take a nap in the car???? super cold up there. Carry your own jackets or you can rent it up at the viewpoint. I experienced a temperature of 7C. Beautiful view. The guide that was assigned took us to the best possible viewpoint. Amaze!!
Came back down exploded the volcano crater then went and explored the valley fields. Everything was taken care of and we just existed haha. Join their tour.

Trip was tiring, mainly because I flew in to Sby Friday night and was picked up the same night to head to Bromo. The guide Dian was great, everything was explained and also taken care of. If you can't speak a word of bahasa, you definitely need to get a guide like Dian.
The waterfall was awesome and somewhat more enjoyable than watching the sunrise over bromo?!

The tour was fantastic and effortless, but maybe that’s not helpful to you.
What might be: I was having trouble booking a train ticket out of Surabaya for the next day, so when I arrived at the airport to wait for the tour I didn’t have onward travel. My guide, Yuli, took me all around the city from convenience stores to offices to the train station trying to get me out the next day. He did this without being asked, and without expecting anything for it. When solo, these are the things that really make you feel good.
Thanks a lot Yuli!
