• Red Bridge (Suramadu Bridge): This is a cross-sea bridge connecting Surabaya and Madura Island. Walking on the bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful sea view.
• Surabaya Volcano: It is a magnificent masterpiece of nature. There are multiple hiking routes to choose from in Bromo Volcano.
The conventional route is to start from the village at the foot of Bromo Volcano, take a jeep through the sand sea, reach the parking lot near the crater, and then walk or ride a horse to climb the mountain, which is more suitable for most tourists.
For tourists with certain hiking experience, you can also choose a hiking route, start hiking from the other side of Bromo Volcano, cross the crater and surrounding mountains, and reach the village on the other side. Although the challenge is greater, you can enjoy more volcanic landscapes. Ijen Volcano is also not to be missed. The standard route is to start from the entrance of Ijen Volcano, hike along the edge of the crater, and enjoy the volcanic lake and magical blue flames. However, the road on the edge of the crater is relatively narrow, so pay attention to safety.
For tourists with high hiking experience and physical strength, you can also choose to start hiking from the bottom of Ijen Volcano, climb to the top of the crater, and then hike along the edge of the crater. This is a test of physical strength and endurance.

🌋East Java is amazingly beautiful! 🇮🇩
I enjoyed every bit of this adventure - it was affordable, and the views were absolutely worth the hikes and early starts.
Day 1:
• Madakaripura Waterfall
Stay: Bromo Terrace Hotel & Resto
Eat: Bawangan Bromo Hotel & Resto
Day 2: (started our day at 2.30am)
• Sunrise point at King Kong Hill (only jeeps can access the roads there, and you get some cool pics as well)
• Hike Mt. Bromo
Stay: Urbanview B Syariah Lumajang
Day 3:
• Tumpaksewu Waterfall
• Goa Tetes Cave
Stay: ljen View Hotel & Resort
Day 4: (started our day at 11.30pm the PREVIOUS day, slept at 6pm to make it to ljen before sunrise)
• Hike Mt. Ijen - there's the option to hike down to see a naturally occuring blue fire, but there were too many people on that day, making the narrow path down quite dangerous. We opted to climb a little higher to catch the sunrise instead - it was so beautiful and serene with most of the crowd trying to catch the blue fire.

The first travel destination selected by 'Flowers and Youth' is so beautiful
I really love the 'Big Dipper' theme of the fifth season of 'Flowers and Youth'
I even subscribed to the VIP membership and rewatched the updates several times
From Saudi Arabia, to Croatia, to Iceland, I've been crazily enticed
Who would have thought that the non-stop spin-off would take us to Indonesia to climb volcanoes
Although this time we're missing the broken-hearted Wang Anyu and the adorable Hu Xianxu
It's a pity that the stunning Dilraba didn't come
But we can see the electronic music Dora and Li Li again!
‼️‼️
I really want to recommend this unrealistically beautiful volcano to everyone
This is the cover image of Indonesia in 'Lonely Planet'
Watching a volcanic sunrise under the stars is truly a life list!

🌈2024 Latest Guide to Bromo Volcano
1️⃣It is currently the rainy season in Indonesia, and whether you can see the volcano is a gamble, but if you're lucky, you'll see a dreamy volcanic sunrise with mist and clouds
2️⃣It's very cold while waiting for the sunrise at the viewing platform, so wear a warm jacket
3️⃣If you're only visiting Bromo, you can book a one-day chartered car or group tour, and the whole transportation connection is very smooth, with most classic routes being a 3-day and 2-night double volcano + waterfall itinerary
4️⃣After watching the sunrise at the viewing platform, people usually go directly to the top of the volcano crater, where the volcanic ash is heavy, you can choose to ride a horse to cover most of the distance, or you can walk the whole way

Bromo Volcano
🌋 If asked which place on Earth most resembles the surface of Mars, many would blurt out Mount Bromo. Since April, Indonesia's travel popularity index has skyrocketed 👍🏻 Today, Warm Brother also summarized some travel experiences about Bromo for everyone.
⚠️Little tips:
1️⃣ Even beginners can climb it. The trek takes about 20 minutes, and various tools are available to help you.
2️⃣ The travel experience is well-developed. Whether you join a tour group or go solo, Bromo is the easiest option.
3️⃣ The travel experience is diverse. First, go to the Bromo viewing platform to watch the sunrise, then descend and take a jeep for a photo shoot with the volcano in the background. After that, ride a horse to the crater, walking along the most primitive crater trail, hugging the volcano as you go 🚶 This experience is unique (in China, definitely the railings would be built to the max, you know).
🏖️Route: Mid-mountain breakfast shop —— sunrise at the mountain opposite Bromo —— descend to the jeep at the foot of the volcano 🌋 climb aboard for a group photo —— up to the crater and then back to the hotel 🏨
⏰Duration: 6-7h
📷Photography guide:
🔹 It's recommended to hire a guide at the foot of the mountain to lead you up, leave all the angles to the guide, and you'll generally know from the pictures 🔹 It's actually quite difficult to find someone and remember the spots before sunrise‼️
🔹 Personally, I think the different tree angles from the viewing platform are all pretty good, just find your angle.
Sea of clouds is common, but usually gets blown away by 8-9 am, so it's advised to shoot earlier.
✅Precautions‼️:
🟡 It's colder in the early morning, so it's recommended to wear a thin down jacket and a windbreaker, which can be packed away after the sun comes out.
🟡 You can negotiate the price for horse riding to the crater, but it's usually hard to haggle with the guide over the price.
🟡 The Bromo trip is easy! No need for hiking sticks or gas masks (unless you're climbing Mount Ijen, which requires such equipment).

Bromo Volcano, the place on earth that most resembles the moon, with a guide attached
What kind of experience is it to fulfill the dream of reaching the scenery seen in science magazines as a child?
This is the cover of Lonely Planet, from where you can see Bromo (p6), Semeru, Batok (p2) three volcanoes. East Java Tengger Volcano Group, the volcanic cone is shrouded in light clouds and thick smoke, the epic desolation brings you close to the end of the world. We set off from Bali, flew to Surabaya in the afternoon, and arrived at the small town of Pangyue Bromo Volcano after about 5 hours by car.
Early morning: Depart for the best viewing point (Figure 1), set off at four in the morning, the guide took us a shortcut - a small road stepped out of the mountain, except for a bit steep, there are no shortcomings, about 5 minutes can reach the top of the mountain, the overall climbing difficulty is low, can be said to be suitable for all ages. There are quite a few homestays at the starting point of climbing, you can order a cup of hot tea, only 5rmb~
Climbing difficulty: ⭐
Morning: Take a Jeep to the foot of Bromo Volcano, you can directly climb to the edge of the volcano, overlooking the heart of the earth's heart roaring and thick smoke (p4). The overall climb takes about half an hour, the difficulty is moderate, need to have some physical strength, the first part of the road is the gully wild road out of the magma flow, the latter part of the climb has artificially repaired stairs. When I heard the roar of volcanic activity at the moment of reaching the top, tears almost burst out, as if I had finally reached the ideal end - the place I had been longing for in my childhood.
Climbing difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐
Small tips:
1⃣ Travel. If you are not very good at free travel guides, it is recommended to charter a car, which can save a lot of worry. Our bromo+ijen three days and two nights per capita 1000+, including driver + guide + accommodation + breakfast + return to Bali hotel.
2⃣ Dress. Bromo town is at a higher altitude, more than 2700 meters, it is colder in the early morning, it is recommended to wear a stormtrooper, if you are afraid of cold, you can add a down liner. You can wear a short sleeve inside, it is hotter to climb the volcano after the sun comes out. And remember to wear non-slip shoes.
3⃣ Flashlight/headlamp. It's pitch black in the early morning, there are no lights on the road, it's recommended to prepare a flashlight or headlamp, (mobile phone light can also be used, but it consumes power...).
4⃣ Drone + camera. If you want to take pictures, it's best to use a tripod to occupy a position

Finally, I see you, Java Volcano
This is my fourth time in Indonesia, but my first time visiting this famous Java attraction, Bromo Volcano. I joined a group from Malang, waiting for the sunrise in the dark, the temperature was only 9 degrees, luckily I managed without adding a coat. Then we went on a somewhat experienced trek to the volcano crater, followed by the grasslands and the sand sea, which everyone ignored because they were too tired. Since we set off from Malang, we left the hotel in Malang city at 0:40. On the way back, we visited a place that some people call the 'small waterfall', the Rainbow Waterfall. The ticket price is very low, it's a bit like the main waterfall in the Tongling Grand Canyon in Guangxi that I visited in 2021, but the ticket prices of the two can't be compared.

A Natural Wonder - Majestic Mount Bromo
#2024wish
Our mother Earth boasts numerous natural marvels, and among them stands Mount Bromo. Soaring over 2300 metres above sea level, this active volcano is spectacular and attracts many tourists from all around the world to view it.
We engaged in a local tour to bring us to the volcano and the vantage point they brought us to is Mount Penanjakan. We woke up during the wee hours of the morning to travel and trek up the mountain to see the sunrise. The sunrise over Mount Bromo is breathtaking! It is one of the most beautiful sunrises that I have ever witnessed. Depending on your fitness level, the trek to the top takes about 20-30 minutes.
Embedded within the fabric of this grand geological formation lies a legend - a selfless brave prince who sacrificed his life to appease the God for his family. This myth has been interwoven into the culture of Tengger as during the annual Kasada festival, the people can be seen throwing offerings into the crater of the volcano.
This is a once in a lifetime experience that I wish to go again in the near future!

Winter at Mount Bromo
1. Mount Bromo: This is an active volcano in Indonesia and a famous tourist spot worldwide. In winter, the snowy scenery of Mount Bromo is very beautiful, especially at sunrise and sunset, when the sunlight shines on the snow-capped mountain, the view is even more spectacular.

To the active volcano of Mount Bromo!
#wheretogo
Exploring Mount Bromo was an amazing experience. It is not hard to see why this is one of Indonesia’s greatest attractions.
This active volcano in Indonesia offers breathtaking sunrise views from its crater, surrounded by a surreal lunar-like landscape. Hiking to its rim allows a unique encounter with natural beauty and local culture. Witnessing the billowing smoke and the fiery glow during eruptions, though from a safe distance, is a reminder of Earth's dynamic forces.
There is also the option to ride a horse while exploring the area.
Do be reminded you need to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to catch the sunrise over Mount Bromo but it is all worth it!

Bromo | Uizhen Volcano itinerary🌋
Bromo The Bromo volcano, said by many to be the most lunar-like place on Earth, stands with its perfect cone-shaped volcanic cone. In front of you, at sunrise, the sea of clouds falls at the foot of the flat mountain, and the morning light shines on the mountain cone to form a magnificent golden oil painting. The Yizhen volcano has the largest sulfurous lake on the earth. The lake water appears clean and flawless due to the sulfur. The color is blue-green, and in the early morning, you can see blue flames coming out of the smoke on the lake surface (viewing the blue fire at 8 Reopening on May 12th) This is also a stargazing place for photography enthusiasts, and is the best place for stargazing in the southern hemisphere.
Due to the special nature of watching two volcanoes and sunrises in a row, the itinerary requires starting in the early morning for two consecutive days, which is tiring and tiring. However, its stunning beauty is well worth a visit, so you must be fully prepared before setting off. To meet the charming people on this planet#couplestrip #awesomepic

Mount Bromo🌋: Indonesia’s Volcanic Beauty
Indonesia🇮🇩 not only boasts beautiful beaches and a romantic atmosphere, but also harbors an extreme adventure secret – volcano climbing! 🌋 Mount Bromo, a place featured as Indonesia's cover by Lonely Planet🌍, is known for its beauty, but witnessing it in person is truly awe-inspiring.
📍Lonely Planet's Mount Bromo🌋 An active volcano in East Java, Indonesia, the rumbling depths of the volcano instill a sense of awe. At sunrise, the dreamlike, smoky volcano crater is illuminated by golden sunlight. It feels like stepping onto the moon, marking the beginning of a life-changing journey. 🌄
🧗♀️Climbing Guide ▪️ Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟 ▪️ Depart at 2:30 am and take a Jeep ride. 🚙 ▪️ Arrive near the viewpoint at 4 am, then a 20-minute hike to the summit viewpoint. 🏔️ ▪️ Rest from 4:30-5:00 am, find a good spot; sunrise at 4:30, with the best lighting at 5:00! ☀️ ▪️ Descend at 6:00 am, capture photos with the Jeep on the grassy terrain (confirm the Jeep's color and appearance the day before to stand out in your photos). 📸
❗️🌋 Important Tips!!! 1⃣️ Dress warmly with layers! The mountaintop before sunrise is very cold. For those wanting great photos, consider a "layered" outfit, so you can remove outerwear easily for photos. 🧥❄️ 2⃣️ Wear hiking boots or sturdy shoes as the volcanic ash can be slippery, and some paths are steep. 👞🌋 3⃣️ Wear an N95 mask at Mount Bromo to protect against the huge dust. 😷 4⃣️ Practice your poses for photos the day before. Otherwise, you might freeze up on the spot, especially with a crowd watching, causing stiffness and nervousness. 📷😅 5⃣️ Bring a drone if you have one; aerial shots are truly breathtaking! 🚁

Mount Bromo Sunrise
Wow what and incredible experience in Indonesia at Mount Bromo 📍
Watching the sunrise here was beautiful, we departed from Melang at midnight and took a 4x4 vehicle to the top of the mountain.
It was cold, perhaps 5 degrees so everyone wrapped up warm and vendors sold coffee to fight off the cold!
We waited atop the view point where I captured the above shots, the purple hue of the sunrise across the valley was perhaps one of the best photos I’ve taken on my phone!

Stood at the edge of an active 🌋 crater
🌋 Mount Bromo is one of the most famous and stunning attractions in Indonesia. It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. What’s so unique about it is the fact that it is a volcano inside another volcano.
In the beginning there was only Mount Semeru (the highest peak of Java Island), and it erupted multiple times creating a giant caldera with small mountains inside, and one of them is Mount Bromo which is still active today. The group of mountains is now called Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park and has attracted tourists from all over the world! 🏔️
🕰️ The best time to go
Most people start their journey at 2AM to reach the top by sunrise.
🥾 Hiking up to the crater cone
The area leading to the base of Mount Bromo is off limits for any vehicles except by horse or foot. I'd suggest the former because it is not that short of a distance, and the horse ride was pretty exciting, you'll feel like an adventurer in a foreign land. The view was absolutely stunning, you get to see the great expanse of the Semeru caldera
🏇 After the horse ride, you have to hike up 250 stairs to reach the crater cone. The hike was a bit strenuous, but it was worth it when you finally reached the top. The view from the top of the crater cone was breathtaking, with a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding landscape & You can see the active volcano with its steaming fumaroles, which added to the surreal atmosphere of the place.
Overall, it was truly an unforgettable experience.
