Embark on the ultimate overland journey across the volcanic heart of Java. Designed for savvy travellers, this tour offers a perfect blend of rugged adventure and budget-friendly logistics, connecting the cultural hubs of Yogyakarta or Malang to the tropical paradise of Bali.
Whether you start from the royal streets of Yogyakarta via a long-haul minivan or begin your trek from the chilly heights of Malang, the adventure is seamless. Utilise a combination of shared minivans for long distances to keep costs low, and robust 4x4 Jeeps to conquer the steep, dusty terrain of the volcanic highlands.
Feel the spray of the “Thousand Waterfalls” at Tumpak Sewu Waterfall (optional add-on). Descending into the lush bamboo ravine of Tumpak Sewu is a raw, Jurassic-like experience that serves as the perfect curtain-raiser before the volcanoes.
Swap your minivan for a classic 4x4 Jeep at midnight. Navigate the “Sea of Sand” to reach the sunrise viewpoint. Watch the sun ignite the sky over the Bromo crater and Mount Semeru. Hike the rim and hear the “whisper” of the active crater.
Take a midnight hike to the edge of the world's largest acidic lake. Witness the rare Electric Blue Flame phenomenon and meet the legendary sulphur miners. The turquoise lake at sunrise is a sight you will never forget.
Choose your final destination:
Banyuwangi Port: Direct drop-off for those taking the ferry to Bali.
Bali Door-to-Door: Upgrade your drop-off to include the ferry crossing and a private shuttle directly to your hotel in Ubud, Canggu, Denpasar or Kuta.
