Review of the Tumpak Sewu day trip from Malang, with waterfall trekking, Goa Tetes, lunch, transport, costs, safety, and practical tips.

“One of the best trips I’ve ever been to!!! I’ve never been so indulged in an activity… we went through the waterfalls literally. We swam, we took a shower in the falls, we were one with them. There is also much more than the main attraction, there are 360 views of falls, they go on and one and on. We went through some caves as well. And now for a moment let’s forget about the falls…. The guides were so so kind, they were patient, helpful, and took many photos for us. I’m 110% happy with the experience. Thank you! 🫶🏽🥰 PS you will get soaked! Make sure you bring…”

Review of the Tumpak Sewu guided tour from Surabaya or Malang, covering trekking, timing, price, guides, safety, and what to pack.

“The guys were amazing! They didn’t just show us the main waterfalls, but also took us off the typical tourist paths. Because of that, we were able to see countless waterfalls in the most beautifully scenic landscape. They were super fun, and we had the chance to shower under many waterfalls, swim in natural pools at different heights, and just enjoy ourselves. It was such a great and unforgettable experience. If I ever come back here, I would definitely book this tour again. Thank you so much for everything! At the end, we even received a wonderful video – such a perfect way to remember this incredible day.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 14 reviews · 3 days · from $240

Review of a 3-day Java tour to Tumpak Sewu, Mount Bromo, and Ijen, with practical advice on hiking, hotels, timing, value, and safety.

“Overall it was good: the guides for the waterfall and volcanos were exceptional, our driver speaks English. The accomodations were great, with good rooms, wifi and hot shower. The drop-off at the harbour to go to Bali is convenient and the ferry ticket is included. However the lack (or last minute) communication regarding the pick-up time in Surabaya, the program of the day, the arrival time at the hotel after each excursion was really annoying. On the last day the driver took a decision that provoked us a delay, we arrived late at Ijen volcano, all the other groups had already started the trek and it forced us to rush…”

Very fluent in English which helped a lot to have the conversations and very very good as a driver too .. Indonesia can be a bit complicated but he managed very well. Mt Bromo was closed due to festivities but we still make it to some viewpoint. Additionally, the people from the tour gave us free lunch and…”
