Traveller reviews
Perfect day spend at Mount bromo, in java Thank s to smartine travel and specially to dodo and rendy Everything was perfect, dodo have been so kind and carry You can book, everything will be ok
We spent a magical experience at Bromo during the sunrise and the rest. A lot of people but because it was in July and during the week-end but still awesome and beautiful :-) Helios did the best to make us cumfortable. They borrowed us jacket for the cold, water, breakfast, snacks. Furthermore, I asked them for others tours/transfer in Java and they always answered to me and proposed me good advices and prices.
Very nice trip. The view is amazing and worth the waking up early for sunrise. We also had a great experience with the driver from the pick up and Smartine Indonesia Travel. Very friendly, respectful and helful people!
When you book tours online it's difficult to get exactly what you paid for. In this case we got even more. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We have a very good time with our driver Herry going from surabaya to cemoro lawang and back without any delay or problem. The tour itself was unforgettable: we have seen the sunrise from king kong hill (we were very lucky because the visibility was perfect) and then went for a trek to reach the volcano and see the inside (more or less the tour started at 3 am and ended at 9 am). Many thanks to our guide Dyva (sorry if it is misspelled) who was perfect and very kind. 100% recommended!
Great activity with amazing views for the sunrise. All the plan was perfectly organised so we enjoyed everything a lot.
very good experience. The driver Wiwin spoke good English. The Bromo sunrise is fantastic, the water fall is also amazing but the park of water fall is not well maintained otherwise should have better experience.
Started at 1am, quick ride out of the city which leads to a lot of off-roading. Forget about your plans to take a nap in the car😂 super cold up there. Carry your own jackets or you can rent it up at the viewpoint. I experienced a temperature of 7C. Beautiful view. The guide that was assigned took us to the best possible viewpoint. Amaze!! Came back down exploded the volcano crater then went and explored the valley fields. Everything was taken care of and we just existed haha. Join their tour.
Trip was tiring, mainly because I flew in to Sby Friday night and was picked up the same night to head to Bromo. The guide Dian was great, everything was explained and also taken care of. If you can't speak a word of bahasa, you definitely need to get a guide like Dian. The waterfall was awesome and somewhat more enjoyable than watching the sunrise over bromo?!
