Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime as we embark on a journey to Mount Bromo and Madakaripura Waterfall. The thrill starts as your guide choices you up from your hotel at midnight, and head towards our first destination. The journey to Mount Bromo is not an ordinary one as we will be travelling in a 4x4 Jeep through bumpy roads. But don't worry, feel free to catch a quick nap in the car before the real excitement begins.
As we reach Mount Penanjakan, accompanied by a sip of warm coffee while wait for the sun to emerge from its hiding place. Your guide keeps us entertained with exciting stories of the region's history and fascinating information about the landscape's features, all delivered with a great sense of humour. And then, the magic happens. Witness the breathtaking sunrise at the top of Mount Penanjakan as the hidden landscape of Mount Bromo unfolds before your eyes.
Your guide doubles up as your personal photographer and will help you capture the perfect shot for your Instagram. Descending the hill, we pass through the vast sea of sand that resulted from Mount Bromo's eruption, reaching the peak in just 30 minutes.
From the crater rim, we marvel at the active Bromo crater, caldera, and the mountainous views of Mount Batok and the highest mountain on Java Island, Mount Semeru. We visit the Hindu temple that reflects the Majapahit Kingdom's history and enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast at Lava view restaurant.
Our adventure continues as we head towards Madakaripura Waterfall, a wonder of nature that stands tall at 200-meters. Trekking through an ancient forest, with the sound of nature and chirping birds, we reach the river that leads to the waterfall. The rumbling sounds of water grow louder as we approach the water curtain, where nature pours her refreshing gifts.
And then, there it is, the magnificent Madakaripura Waterfall, the highest waterfall of East Java. Feel free to capture your own memories of a lifetime as you swim, take pictures, or simply soak in the beauty of nature.
This adventure is not for the faint-hearted, but if you are up for it, join us as we explore the hidden gems of East Java.
