an adventurous trip through forest, savanna, hills and finally the
caldera (large vulcanic crater) before you arrive at Cemoro Lawang (the
last village near Mount Bromo). Once you arrive at your hotel you can
already enjoy the stunning panorama or just relax. As this unusual and
spectacular approach to Bromo is only accessible for 4 wheel drive
jeeps, your driver who will also take your luggage luggage will take a
different, but longer, route. Therefor he will arrive a bit later than
yourself. Overnight in Cemoro Lawang Village
Day 9 : BROMO – KETAPANG / KALIBARU
After a
very early rise you can go for another jeep excursion to the Bromo
volcano to enjoy views of the crater. Instead of driving directly to the
crater you also have the option to visit the viewpoint at Pananjakan
first where, if the weather is clear, you can witness a spectacular
sunrise (In order to see the sunrise the tour starts at 04:00 am. For
this nightly excursion we would like to recommend a thick jacket (warm
clothing) since at times the temperature can drop to 5 degrees Celcius).
When you return to your hotel from this spectacular excursion, you can
enjoy a well deserved breakfast after which we will bring you to
Ketapang. Overnight in Ketapang.
Day 10 : KALIBARU / KETAPANG – BALI
After
Breakfast your driver will bring you to Banyuwangi where you will board a
