📍Indonesia Backpacker Tour - "Mount Bromo Guide"

This article will share with you how to get to Bromo, a world-class active volcano Locals will go up to the crater to offer sacrifices and pray. and throw livestock (live animals) or flowers into the crater There are also many businesses in the park that sell flowers for sacrifices💐 Friends who want to experience the local culture can try it. A bouquet of flowers costs about NT$50 I went there three times, each time in a different way. 1️⃣ Go to Probolinggo and take the local bus 2️⃣ From Malang, a local friend took me on a bike 3️⃣ Depart from Malang and sign up for a local one-day tour - ⚠️Warm reminder, Bromo Volcano National Park requires tickets The prices for locals and foreigners are different. - ▶️ #Method 1 Transfer to the local bus in Probolinggo If you have enough time, you can experience local transportation. If you take the most authentic backpacker route I highly recommend this route. This is how I met the Indonesian girl Eka. Actually, if you don’t go to Sewa waterfall It is recommended that you start from the town of Pangyue, which is the most suitable and convenient place Take a train from Surabaya to Probolinggo Then take a local bus to Bromo National Park It is recommended that you find a good place to stay first and take a good rest when you arrive. The Bromo volcano sunrise tour starts at 2 am Just in time to catch the spectacular sunrise ⚠️But! Here we must remind everyone The local buses do not have fixed departure times… The driver will wait until the car is full before leaving. In 2015, we waited for almost seven hours. But everything has its pros and cons. For example, I got to know Eka because of this. We have known each other for eight years and we still maintain our friendship - ▶️ #Method 2 Depart from Malang and be picked up by local friends This method is suitable for those who have local friends. It's also cool to ride a motorcycle to the volcanic area And you can evade the ticket 😅😂 Locals can always find an entrance and exit without a ticket Cycling on the volcanic ash terrain is very exciting and fun The mountain roads along the way are also very bumpy, please pay attention to safety🫣 - ▶️ #Method 3 Join a local tour from Malang or Probolinggo If you are leaving from Surabaya, you can go to Malang or Probolinggo directly if you are not going to Sewa Waterfall. Because if you want to go to Ijen volcano later, you will also pass through Probolinggo. I chose to go to Malang to meet a friend, so I went there on purpose. After getting off the train, there are many one-day tours offered by travel agencies. I suggest you check the prices of local day tours online first. So that you won't be treated like a fat sheep and be slaughtered by others🐑 The day tour I took this time was 500,000 rupiah for foreigners About NT$1,000, and has been rising in recent years Depart from the hotel at 12:00 midnight, the driver will pick you up at your hotel Then take a jeep to the national park Our tour guide took us to a private spot to watch the sunrise There were no other tourists at all, very comfortable After watching the sunrise, we went to climb the crater 🌋 You can choose to hike up You can also drive horses (horses) at various prices. It is recommended that you listen to a few more. I'll probably make a decision after I have a clear mindset. I feel sorry for the horses, so I decided to hike. We walked quite fast, and the round trip took an hour, including taking photos at the crater. If there is no time limit, it is recommended that you stop at the crater. Enjoy the shock and magnificence of an active volcano The tour ends around 11-12 noon 📌If you are departing from Malang, I highly recommend @ojekgunung. The driver and guide are very professional and they helped us take photos seriously📷 - If you want to join the Bromo and Ijen volcano tours at the same time There are two ways recommended to you 1️⃣ If you want to take a flight from Surabaya later, it is recommended to join a three-day and two-night trip directly in Probolinggo or Malang 2️⃣ If you want to move to Bali later, it is recommended to book a separate trip, Malang or Probolinggo to participate in the Bromo volcano trip, and then move to Banyuwangi town to participate in the Ijen volcano trip #travel #divinginstructorwandering #indonesia #surabaya #Bromo #backpacker #adventure #travel #travelphotography #photooftheday #instagood #indonesia #jawa #bromo #volcano #backpacker #padiinstructor #worldtraveler
