Planning an East Java Trip from Bali

Travel Guide

Ferry or flight, how many days you need, and the best order to visit Ijen and Bromo.

Ijen is only a short ferry ride from Bali, which makes East Java an easy add-on to a Bali holiday.

How many days?

  • 3 days: Ijen and Bromo, the classic volcano pair
  • 4 days: add Papuma Beach or Tumpak Sewu
  • 5 days: a relaxed pace with all highlights

Getting there

We pick you up anywhere in south Bali and drive to Gilimanuk for the ferry to Ketapang (about 1 hour). Ferry tickets are included in our Bali packages.

Best order

Start with Ijen (closest to Bali), continue to Bromo, and finish in Surabaya — where flights connect to Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and mainland China.
