We arrived on Java, Indonesia and one of the first things we really wanted to do is a MOUNT BROMO sunrise tour – definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Mount Bromo is an active volcano that’s on most traveller’s bucket list visiting Java – and in this video we’re showing you what to expect and if it’s worth it to get up at 1:30am to see the sunrise over Mt Bromo and then hike up to the crater (Spoiler: it definitely is!).

We start the video in Probolinggo where we first have to fight a cockroach and then get some delicious (super spicy) fried chicken dinner. We then prepare for the tour and for getting up very early at 1:30am - although nothing really prepares you for that. And then the tour begins, but… see for yourself!

This is the Mount Bromo tour we did:
We stayed at Clover Homestay in Probolinggo, which also offers Mt Bromo tours and they’re very friendly! The rooms are very basic and can get a bit loud in the night (and the cockroach situation wasn’t the best start to our stay unfortunately). Overall it’s ok for a night or two if you don’t expect a lot of luxury, but they could be better. The tour itself was great and we really liked that we didn’t have to worry about anything. With 4 people on the tour the tour cost us 28€ per person, which definitely isn’t that cheap. A significant portion of the cost goes towards the entrance fee for the National park surrounding Bromo. If you do this tour on your own there are ways to get around this fee, but it’s a lot more hassle to organise. So we’re really happy that we did the tour!
