Itinerary
6-Day Central and East Java Tour Itinerary
This itinerary starts in Yogyakarta and ends in Banyuwangi. To fit Borobudur, Bromo, and Ijen into six days, plan an early arrival on Day 1 and an onward departure after the Ijen excursion on Day 6.
Day 1 – Arrive in Yogyakarta and Explore Borobudur
Meet your driver on arrival in Yogyakarta and travel to the Borobudur area. Visit Borobudur Temple, then continue to Bukit Rhema and Svargabumi for views of the surrounding countryside. Return to your hotel and rest.
Overnight: Yogyakarta or Borobudur area.
Day 2 – Mount Merapi, Prambanan, and Gumuk Pasir
Ride a jeep across Mount Merapi’s volcanic landscape and see locations affected by past eruptions. Continue to Prambanan Temple to explore its Hindu temple complex. Later, travel to Gumuk Pasir for sandboarding and sunset before returning to your hotel.
Overnight: Yogyakarta.
Day 3 – Yogyakarta Heritage Tour and Transfer to Surabaya
Visit Taman Sari Water Castle and explore the royal palace district by traditional becak. Afterward, travel to Surabaya. If arrival time allows, enjoy a short city visit before checking in.
Overnight: Surabaya.
Day 4 – Madakaripura Waterfall and Journey to Bromo
Leave Surabaya for Madakaripura Waterfall. Walk through the canyon with a local guide, subject to weather and trail conditions. Then continue to your hotel near Mount Bromo and rest before the early start the next morning.
Overnight: Bromo area.
Day 5 – Mount Bromo Sunrise and Transfer to Ijen
Depart before dawn for a viewpoint overlooking Mount Bromo. After sunrise, cross the sea of sand and walk up to the crater rim. Return to the hotel for breakfast, then take the long drive to the Ijen area. Rest on arrival ahead of the overnight excursion.
Overnight: Ijen or Banyuwangi area.
Day 6 – Ijen Crater Trek and Departure
Begin your guided Ijen trek in the early hours. If official access and conditions permit, you may have the opportunity to see the blue fire. Continue to a viewpoint for sunrise over the turquoise crater lake, then descend and return to the hotel. Transfer to your onward departure point in Banyuwangi.
Important planning note: Day 6 follows a short night of sleep, and the blue fire is never guaranteed. Schedule your onward flight, train, or ferry with enough time after the trek and transfer.
