Mount Bromo which stands tall at 2329 m is the most iconic and the most hiked mountain in Indonesia. This is one of the top things to do in Java and rightly so. The mountain beckons majestically despite having the entire top blown off and with a crater inside that keeps spewing off-white sulphurous smoke.

Mount Bromo is still one of the most active volcanoes in the world and there are areas that are blocked off from tourists due to its imminent danger. It sits inside the massive Tengger caldera (volcanic crater with a diameter approximately 10km), surrounded by the Laut Pasir (sea of sand) of fine volcanic sand.

After an easy hike, travelers are awarded a breathtaking and ethereal landscape during the sunrise.

There are a couple of different ways to access Mount Bromo. But one of the best ways to is to fly into Surabaya, which is the capital city of East Java. Surabaya is home to Juanda International Airport, which facilitates regular flights from key cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.  You can easily book a flight to Surabaya and arrange transport to the Mount Bromo region.

One highly convenient and hassle-free, albeit expensive way to get to the volcano from Surabaya is to book an organized tour with a travel agent at Juanda Airport.  The tour will include transport to and from Mount Bromo, with the drive taking around 2 to 3 hours.
