I used a tour from Jogjakarta and stayed at Sion. Some agents guarantee your choice for accomm but don't trust them. I requested Yochi but sent to Sion. When a jeep came they asked 25k for entrance fee. Not sure exactly how much officially. Other people stayed at nicer hotels got charged 100k. If you are walking better to stay... More

Amazing view! with the clouds gathered around the mountain, the whole scenery looks like heaven! However, the public transport to go there can be a bit of a trouble. First you have to take public bus(damri) to probolinggo. Subsequently, take another public bus from to cemoro lawang (a village where you'll have to spend a night before ascending by jeep/foot...

We went here at noon, so we didn't have chance to see the sunrise, and we're also unlucky when we went up to the viewpoint and didn't see anything 'cause of too much cloud covered all the view. T^T Anyway, we're lucky that there're not so many people climbing Mt.Bromo, so it's like we own the crater. hahaha We rode... More

If you are in Surabaya, do check out Mount Bromo. It takes about 2 hours by car to get there and another hour by jeep up the mountain. We went on a weekday and skipped the sunrise trip (many visitors like to catch the sunrise there) and literally had the place to ourselves. Parked the car at Probolinggo and took... More

Mt. Bromo is getting into tourist trap: we counted more than 100 jeeps plus all the motorbikes for the last view meters, the crowds are enormous and the pollution horrible. But ... you go there for the view ... amazing.
