Tourism information:

Kampung Warna Warni

Kampung Warna Warni, which translates to “Colorful Village,” was once an unassuming neighborhood struggling with socio-economic challenges. However, with the vision of community leaders and the support of various local initiatives, the area has transformed into a canvas of bright colors. Not only have the houses been painted in cheerful palettes, but the art installations and murals throughout the village also reflect the creativity and spirit of the residents. This transformation has not only beautified the area but has also boosted the local economy through tourism.

Tumpak sewu waterfall

Tumpak Sewu, also known as Coban Sewu, is a waterfall in East Java, Indonesia, located between the Pronojiwo District in the Lumajang Regency and the Ampelgading District in the Malang Regency. Semeru, Java's highest mountain and an active volcano, obscures the waterfall. The waterfall's primary water source is the Glidik River, which flows down Semeru. Tumpak Sewu roughly translates to "a thousand waterfalls" in Javanese. The name most likely refers to the appearance of multiple waterfalls in a single, semicircular area.

Mount Bromo

Bromo is an active volcano in East Java, Indonesia, located in the Tengger Mountains. It is not the highest summit in the massif, standing at 2,329 meters (7,641 feet), but it is the most well-known. The area is one of East Java’s most famous tourist sites, and the volcano is part of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Bromo is a Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. Mount Bromo is located in the “Sea of Sand” environmental reserve, Mount Bromo has erupted several times, the most recent in 2010.

Ijen crater

The Ijen volcano complex is a group of composite volcanoes in East Java, Indonesia, near the Banyuwangi and Bondowoso regencies. It is notable for its blue fire, acidic crater lake, and laborious sulfur mining. The Ijen volcano, located west of Gunung Merapi, has a turquoise-colored acidic crater lake one kilometer (0.62 miles) wide. The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried from the crater floor by hand.

Nice trip. Everythink was perfect, what we wanted our driver Tanto try to manage. They made this trip in different way, because we want ot end on the other end. So they made specially for us. We are really happy, that we choose this ride. One advice, ask for everything, everywhere , because if you feel something is particular, it couldn’t be. But if you ask, you will not be surprised. (Food spice, pools, etc) Tanto provide everything, that we asked or tried to do his best.

Super 3-day tour The 3-day tour with the waterfall, Mount Bromo, and Ijen was simply super! Everything was perfectly organized and worked smoothly. Henry, our guide and driver, was very friendly, helpful, and was able to explain a lot to us, as were Judi and Theo at the waterfall and Ijen. We felt very well taken care of at all times. Even after the tour, a driving service to Bali was organized for us.

A Wonderful Bromo & Semeru Trip I first engaged Pak Anjang, the business owner of Bromo Eco Tourism, 11 years ago for a Mount Bromo trip. Because his services back then were so excellent, I decided to return to him recently to book a combined Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru trip.Once again, he did not disappoint. We had an incredibly pleasant and happy experience throughout our entire 3D2N tour. The overall service was top-notch from start to finish. A special shoutout to our driver, who was extremely caring, professional, and ensured we arrived at every destination safely.If you are looking for a reliable, experienced, and warm hospitality experience in the Bromo region, I highly recommend Pak Anjang and Bromo Eco Tourism!

Great Bromo visit with Doni We had a great visit to the Bromo volcano with our stellar guide and driver Doni! We really enjoyed the smooth trip and recommend Doni. The only thing people should be aware of is the huge number of jeeps going up to Bromo in the morning. We had definitely underestimated this and it does have a massive impact on both the local environment and potentially your chances of catching your train/flight later in the day if you’re stuck among a thousand jeeps after the Bromo descend. Doni and his Jeep driver made sure we got out in time so very happy with their help. But everyone should just be aware of the huge number of jeeps and the impact they have before making conscious plans

Highly recommended! We had an amazing experience in the Bromo tour. Our tour guide Doni is the best! Very nice and helpful, explained us a lot, not only about Bromo. It’s a very nice experience that we highly recommend. Take into consideration that can be very cold in the sunrise, we recommend renting a jacket when arriving to the tour. There are some shops were we had an amazing ginger tea and you can rent or buy what you need. Thank you very much.

This organisation is amazing. We did a 3 days and 2 nights tour. We visited Tumpak Sewu, Gubung Bromo and Ijen. It became 3 very special days for us in which we saw the beauty of East-Java. Thank you Rulan and Inggit, you were very good guides on the sites. And special thanks to Vero, who accompanied us for 3 days and made us feel very welcome. He also gave us the ultimate bromo-experience. All this 3 guides shared a lot of love for nature. That is, for us, very important. Service/hotels is very good and they can put you on the ferry to Bali after the trip is done. We will come back!

Unforgettable Tumpak Sewu, Bromo & Ijen Tour We had an amazing experience on the Tumpak Sewu – Bromo – Ijen 3D2N tour.

We needed someone to help arrange Sewu Waterfall and Mount Bromo sunrise tour while staying on schedule and budget. Bromo Eco Tourism offered private tours at prices comparable to group tours, but with much better flexibility. For example, we started in Malang and ended in Surabaya, perfectly tailored to our needs. The unexpected highlight was our driver Henry, who turned our rides into enriching conversations about Javanese culture, local life, and Indonesian politics. Those hours became some of the most memorable parts of our trip. If you want affordability, flexibility, and genuine local insight, they are an excellent choice!

We spent three days visiting the Ijen and Bromo volcanoes, as well as the Tumpak Sewu waterfall. Our guides were simply exceptional. A big thank you to Tio, Zaky and especially Vian! He was our driver throughout the trip and was extremely kind, flexible and patient. He also guided us to Mount Bromo, taking us to the best spot away from the other tourists! The organisation was perfect and the accommodation was top notch. We give it a 10/10 and recommend it without hesitation! Thank you for everything !

Wij boekten de 2D/1N Bromo en Ijen Tour bij Bromo Eco Tourism en daar heb ik zeker geen spijt van. Wat een onwijs gave en surrealistische ervaring. Onze driver Evra, heeft ons overal comfortabel naar toe gebracht. En ook gids Achmed heeft ons bij Ijen goed begeleid en was super vriendelijk. Ik kan deze organisatie zeker aanraden voor deze onvergetelijke ervaringen! 10/10!

Sehr gut organisierte 2-Tagestour zum Ijen und Bromo. Wir haben die beiden Vulkane auf unserer Reise von Pemuteran (Bali) nach Yogyakarta besucht. Da wir möglichst wenig Zeit verlieren wollten, war diese Tour ideal – alles hat bestens geklappt. Unser Fahrer Aris hat den Trip perfekt organisiert, und unser Guide Tyo hat uns am Ijen hervorragend beim Abstieg in den Krater unterstützt. Nur zu empfehlen!

Had an amazing 3D2N trip with Henry to Makapura Waterfall, Bromo & Ijen 🌿🌋🔥. Everything was well planned – from the magical Bromo sunrise to the blue fire at Ijen. On top of that, Henry brought us to enjoy delicious local dishes we’d never have tried on our own 🍲😋. He’s a safe driver, great guide, and made us feel like friends. Highly recommend him and Bromo Eco Tourism if you’re heading to East Java! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
