- Oda H0 contributionsRefreshing tour with a beautiful view of the volcanoThe information provided was on point. Overall nice tour, driver made sure we had the full experience and excellent photographer. Our guide was super cute and was always ready to helpWritten February 12, 2025
- Trip439535102300 contributionsNiceHad some recommendations from my friend and it turned out to be fun ! Very well managed. Food was great. Van pickup was always on time.Written February 8, 2025
- G317YOgabrielles0 contributionsNiceIt was a good trip! Too bad that we couldn’t see the sunrise on both hikes but that’s the risk with the rain season.. We did see the blue fire tho with the Ijen! We had good food and a transfer to bali after so that was really nice as well (this will only happen if you have a certain amount of members in the group)Written February 7, 2025
- dwiyann20250 contributions10/10 ExperienceIt was a solid 10/10 experience! I’d say it was one of my best decisions, great food, amazing hospitality, and excellent hostel and hotel choices. We even got a free drop-off in Bali! The driver was very punctual, which I really appreciated. Considering the price, I think it was absolutely worth it. Just a small suggestion: it might help to give local participants a heads-up that most of the tour will be with foreigners. I personally struggled to keep up with them during the hikes, haha! But overall, it was such a fun experience. I’d highly recommend you to my friends who are visiting Malang next month. I’m sure they’ll have an amazing time just like I did! Thank you!!!!!Written February 6, 2025

Danny, owner of Ourtrip1st has provided very good arrangement/ coordination and we had a great time trekking Semeru.
Day 1- The guide (Rahman) picked us at Surabaya airport and drove to Malang to meet Danny at his office/ hostel (owned by him). During the 3hrs ride (lunch break in-between), Rahman was friendly and shared some history when we drove past some landmarks. He was !always smiling. When we reached Danny’s hostel, he briefed us on the 2d1n itinerary for Semeru. Next, we met our mountain guide, Echo and changed to our current vehicle to Jeep. We got our medical checked (to ensure we are fit to trek Semeru) and then spent in Ranun Pane Village as it was nearer my to the trekking post of Semeru.
Day 2 and 3: Started trekking at about 830am. Echo was attentive and took great take of us, especially during the summit Attack. The porters prepared nice meals too!
If you are visiting Malang, look for Danny and Martha (Danny’s wife) for a hassle free holiday!

With a friend we went on 2 trips organised by Martha and Danny, owners of Our Trip First and the Mador hostel in Malang.
For me the 2 days trip to Semeru was the best experience from Java:
1. 2 days of easy to medium-hard hiking.
2. Very good set up on the way with transport, meals, and tents organised regardless the remote setting.
3. Amazing guide: experienced, knowledgeable, open, entertaining and reassuring – once again thank you very much!
Second day was a sleepover Mador, a costy and centrally located hostel in Malang, that is run by Martha and Danny. During that evening we received a lot of valuable information and assistance with plane ticket reservation.
Third day was visit to Bromo, this one was equally well organised and much less demanding physically – most of it was drive around the Bromo volcano including sunrise and breakfast.
I strongly recommend everyone to pass by Malang and to visit Martha and Danny, these guys basically made my entire visit to Java.
