Professional tour guide and unforgettable experience

Eva_W, Feb 2024

Thanks to Smartine and our professional and helpful tour guide Mull, we had an unforgettable experience and memory in Indonesia. First of all, February is the rainy season. The amount of water in the waterfall is too large and it is unsafe. Smartine also canceled the trip due to safety issues. Because it was the rainy season, there was a chance that we wouldn’t be able to see the beautiful scenery, but we were lucky enough to see all the beautiful scenery. Mull was our tour guide this time. He was very punctual every day and took us to a great location in Bromo where we could see the breathtakingly beautiful sunrise with relatively less tourists. Mull drives very steadily and we felt very safe along the way. He is very family with locals so he can answer most of questions during trip. Recommend!

Amazing tour! Once in a life time experience!

Felichu, Dec 2023

It was a wonderful experience with Didik (our driver) and Lili (not sure the correct spelling, our guide at Ijen blue fire). They are very caring and ensure we were well taking care of during the entire trip. My friend didn’t wear the proper hiking shoes and had difficulties climbing up and down Mount Ijen. Lili hold her hands for the entire journey. He even slashed himself when trying to save my friend from sliding. They are the most amazing guides I had ever met. Thumb up to them! The Ijen blue fire was magnificent! The trip requires some physical fitness but is definitely worth it. Anyone interested in going for Surabaya and Mount Ijen tour should look for them! Thank you, Didik and Lili!

Awesome nature at its rawest

Sebastian_V, Oct 2023

Awesome trip, with some exciting views into the abyss. Being so close to the heart of active volcanoes is a pretty intimidating experience - nature is indeed rather fascinating! The trip was very well organised, there's never a dull moment. Both volcanoes - Bromo and Ijen are different enough by their geology, so worth to have visited both. The sunrise at Bromo is very pretty (just cold - dress warmly). Just be aware that the Ijen Crater tour down to the sulphur vent / blue flames really requires a good level of fitness, and appropriate shoes (no flip-flops, sneakers, etc.). But that is absolutely the highlight of the entire trip and shouldn't be missed!

Exhausting but worth it

Pieterjan_P, Sep 2023

Good trip to see the three highlights of Java. Madakaripura waterfall, Bromo and Ijen. Driving over the caldera of Bromo to see the sunrise over the vulcano. Walking down to the Ijen acidic lake and see the blue flames up close surounded by vulcanic smoke. Downside of the trip is waking up at 2h30 and midnight to start the 2 volcano trips and constant transport with the car. This is very exhausting, but if you want to see these highlights within 3 says, there is no other way.

Yes!

Jacob_R, May 2023

Highly recommend. Nendra my guide was great. The volcanos were top notch. Where Bromo was a bit more busy but the views breathtaking, Ijen is the real gem. You have to work for it, though.

Unbelievably amazing!!!

Lola_P, Aug 2019

We can’t be more thankful to Nico our guide for those past days. Honestly he was the best we could imagine !! The best advices, the best places and views to admire the volcanos. Even the music in the car was exactly what we needed. This is a must do experience! Nico you are the best, thank you so so so much. So many memories and good laughs! I traveled with my best friend Laura and we are very grateful to Viator for this experience. Don t wait and book it ! And especially ask for Nico <3 (good English speaker also, which is not a detail in Indonesia) MERCI MERCI a thousand times

Nuestro conductor Catur...

Elena_B, Aug 2023

Nuestro conductor Catur fue súper amable, muy puntual y además muy buen conductor! El Tour nos encantó, los volcanes fantásticos. Punto negativo: La descripción decía que teníamos guías de habla inglesa, pero no es verdad. Los guías saben palabras básicas pero no te explican nada sobre el lugar ni podrán responder a tus preguntas. Deberían ser más claros en la descripción del tour.
