What to Consider Before Your Mount Bromo Adventure
Mount Bromo, nestled within East Java’s dramatic landscapes, is one of Indonesia’s most visited volcanoes. While the views are priceless, budgeting properly for your trip helps you fully enjoy this breathtaking destination. Consider the following factors to prepare your budget:
- Entrance Fee: Indonesian volcanoes, including Bromo, have an entrance fee that varies for local and foreign tourists. The entrance fees typically range from IDR 150,000 to IDR 350,000 per person depending on the day and season.
- Transportation: You can reach Bromo from major cities like Surabaya or Malang. Options include private tours, sharing a jeep, or public buses. Jeep rental for the sunrise tour usually costs around IDR 600,000 to IDR 900,000 per jeep, which can be shared among 4-6 people.
- Accommodation: The nearby towns of Cemoro Lawang, Probolinggo, or Malang offer hotels and guesthouses from IDR 200,000 up to IDR 1,000,000 per night depending on location and comfort.
- Guide and Additional Activities: For a richer adventure and peace of mind, hiring a guide is recommended. Guide service fees vary, starting from around IDR 250,000. You can also join hiking, sunrise tours, or cultural excursions.
- Meals and Snacks: Prepare about IDR 50,000 to IDR 150,000 per day for local meals, especially if you want to taste authentic Javanese cuisine at the local warungs or cafes.
- Other Expenses: Don’t forget to add expenses for warm clothing rental, toilet fees on the site, souvenirs, and tips for guides or drivers.
