Mount Bromo Sunrise & Madakaripura Waterfall Tour from Surabaya

Overview

Mount Bromo, located in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, is one of East Java’s most iconic destinations. Visitors come for the breathtaking sunrise at Penanjakan Viewpoint, where the sun rises over Mount Bromo, Mount Batok, and Mount Semeru. The park also offers dramatic landscapes: the Sea of Sand, the lush Savanna (Teletubbies Hill), and the sacred Pura Luhur Poten Temple, where the Tenggerese people hold the annual Kasada ceremony.

Nearby, the legendary Madakaripura Waterfall—the hermitage of Gajah Mada, prime minister of the Majapahit Kingdom—stands at 250 meters, making it the tallest waterfall in East Java. The trail to the falls winds through moss‑covered cliffs and misty green walls, creating a magical atmosphere.
