Sewu Waterfall and Semeru Volcano in East Java are excellent destinations for natural education with children. Choosing the right accommodation makes the whole trip more relaxed and enjoyable. 🌊 Sewu Thousand-Layer Waterfall Family Tour A landmark attraction in East Java, this 120-meter-high circular water curtain wall features hundreds of streams cascading simultaneously. In the early morning, sunlight through the mist often creates rainbows. Standing in front of the waterfall with your children, feeling the majestic power of nature, is an awe-inspiring experience you can't learn from books. Recommended route: Surabaya city → Teras Semeru viewpoint → Sewu Thousand-Layer Waterfall. The entire route is moderately difficult, suitable for children to complete, and ordinary hole shoes are enough—no need for professional canyoning gear. Hiring a local guide is highly recommended. They not only lead the way and take photos but also share lots of volcanic geology knowledge with the kids, adding fun and educational value to the trip. The guide will also help look after the children, giving parents peace of mind. To capture the stunning scene of the waterfall and volcano in one frame, be sure to get up early. The morning light is best, and fewer people make photography easier. Remember to bring a light jacket for the kids, as it’s cooler near the waterfall. 🌋 Semeru Volcano Family Experience Semeru is the highest volcano in East Java Province. Bring your children here to experience the charm of an active volcano. It’s recommended to stay overnight in the volcano town and get up early the next day to watch the sunrise. The Jeep ride across the volcanic sand sea excites the kids immensely. You can ride a horse or hike up to the Bromo crater to see the smoking earth’s core up close. Standing on the volcano’s edge overlooking the black sand plain gives an unparalleled sense of power. Return to the homestay for rest and lunch at noon, making the whole trip well-paced and not too tiring. Teras Semeru viewpoint is a must-visit. Here you can see both rice fields and the volcano, perfect for photos. The nearby coffee shop has a great atmosphere where you can relax with your kids and enjoy some slow time. 🍛 Local Food Recommendations We recommend trying the local snack nasi rawon (beef black soup) with your children. It has a unique flavor but is generally accepted by kids. There are also various tropical fruits that are cheap and delicious.

Sewu Waterfall in East Java, Indonesia, is indeed one of the most stunning waterfalls. 'Sewu' in Javanese means thousand-layer waterfall. These waterfalls thunderously plunge into a horseshoe-shaped jungle canyon, looking as if they fell into Jurassic Park! · 🚩Best experience: ▪️Sewu Waterfall Viewing Platform There are two levels, the second level offers a better angle to overlook the waterfall. ▪️Hike into the canyon to reach the bottom of the waterfall. The path down is right next to the viewing platform. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk into the canyon, and then another 5 minutes to walk through the canyon to reach the waterfall. The path down is rough and quite dangerous, not highly recommended. · 📷Photography tips: ▪️Using a drone can capture the scene of Mount Semeru, the highest active volcano in Java, and Sewu Waterfall in one frame. Due to the dense surrounding jungle, be sure to pay attention to the safety of drone takeoff and landing. ▪️Aerial shots with a drone at noon can even capture the magical sight of the waterfall flow and double rainbows in one frame under the refraction of sunlight. · 🚗How to get there: ▪️It is recommended to stay in a hotel in Malang city and drive about 2 hours to Sewu Waterfall. ▪️Due to a sudden heavy rain in mid-July 2023 causing a mudslide, the essential bridge from Malang to Sewu Waterfall was destroyed and has not yet been repaired. The road is impassable, so you need to take a local motorcycle to cross the broken bridge to reach the Sewu Waterfall viewing platform. ▪️Take a local motorcycle from the motorcycle point for about 20 minutes to the entrance of the scenic area, then walk for 10 minutes to reach the Sewu Waterfall viewing platform. · 🎫Viewing platform ticket: 20k IDR (approximately 10 RMB) 🎫Waterfall bottom ticket: 10k IDR (approximately 5 RMB) ⏰Opening hours: 7:00-17:00 📣Recommended visit duration: Viewing platform 0.5-1h, hiking to the bottom of the waterfall 2-3h

The Ijen volcano complex is a group of composite volcanoes located on the border between Banyuwangi Regency and Bondowoso Regency of East Java, Indonesia. West of Gunung Merapi is the Ijen volcano, which has a one-kilometre-wide (0.62 mi) turquoise-coloured acidic crater lake. The lake is the site of a labour-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried by hand from the crater floor. Since National Geographic mentioned the electric-blue flame of Ijen, tourist numbers have increased.The phenomenon has occurred for a long time, but beforehand there was no midnight hiking. A two-hour hike is required to reach the rim of the crater, followed by a 45-minute hike down to the bank of the crater. The blue fire is ignited sulfuric gas, which emerges from cracks at temperatures up to 600 °C (1,112 °F). To chase the blue fire of Ijen Crater, many tourists climb the mountain at night. Because indeed the best time to watch the blue fire attraction at the top of Mount Ijen is in the early morning before dawn, which is between 02.00 WIB - 03.00 WIB. #bestislandtraveltowns#beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#hiking#nationalpark

The Niyama River is located in Sidem Hamlet, Besole Village, Besuki District, Tulungagung Regency, of course it is still in the East Java Province Region. The name Niyama comes from the Japanese language, Ni means two, while Yama means mountain. At this tourist location there is a tunnel that has been legendary since the previous Japanese colonial era. During the occupation of the Japanese army around 1942-1945, forced labor (Romusha) was carried out in the area for the construction of the Niyama water channel and tunnel to drain excess flow from the Brantas River in the Tulungagung City area to the Indian Ocean.

Arriving at the parking location you have to continue on foot until you find the location of the Niyama River. If you are still confused, I suggest that you ask the locals. It should be noted that when the rainy season arrives, the volume of water in the river will be very large so it is very dangerous to visit.

This was perfect! I was picked up promptly at 8:00 and the van was really comfortable. Our guide Tuan was excellent - well informed, perfect English, delightful personality. The sites were so amazing; so much beauty, history, and tragedy all rolled into one. The boat ride on the Perfume River was fun and relaxing. Lunch was excellent and accommodated several of us who were vegetarians. The visit to the market was fun and informative. Making and watching incense being made was really interesting. Highly recommend this tour if your time in Hue is short and you want to see as much as possible in a short time. #museumquest#nationalpark#summervacation

On the Indonesian island of Java, the Kawah Ijen Volcano boasts two of the world's most extraordinary occurrences. The first is a live solfatara, which produces hot, combustible sulfur fumes. These burn with an electric blue flame as they enter Earth's oxygen-rich atmosphere. Some of the gas condenses in the atmosphere, resulting in molten sulfur flows that burn with an electric blue flame as well. During the day, the flames are difficult to notice, but at night, they brighten the landscape. A one-kilometer-wide crater lake filled with turquoise-blue water is the second occurrence. The water's color is caused by its high concentration of dissolved metals and excessive acidity. With a pH as low as 0.5, it is the world's largest severely acidic lake. An inflow of hydrothermal waters charged with gases from a heated magma chamber below is the source of its acidity. So don’t fall yourself in the lake. Just enjoy the scenery it’s majestic! #ontheroad#tripinspired#hiking#nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

The hike down and up the crater will take somewhere around 45-60 minutes but that will also depend on how crowded the path is. Since it will be in the dark and the path is rocky/uneven, you will also want to take it slower than usual. As you are making your way down to the bottom you may pass by some sulfur miners until you reach a viewpoint where you can better see the blue flames. Unfortunately, the blue flames will not always be nice and bright to see (and sometimes you won’t be able to see them at all). When I visited, they were not strong at all and I couldn’t even get a picture in the dark. After enjoying sunrise for a bit, feel free to walk a bit more around the crater rim of Ijen. You can continue counter clockwise as you take in additional views of the lake and crater rim. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Kawah Ijen also known as the Ijen Volcano or Gunung Ijen, is a dormant volcano at the very end of the island of Java in Indonesia. What makes it super unique though is that it houses the largest crater acidic lake in the world! Seeing this turquoise colored crater lake at sunrise will be one beautiful site to take in. It also is known for its vast amount of sulphur that gets mined every day. As you make your way closer to the crater, you will begin to see the extremely hard working miners that dig up the sulphur and bring it up from the bottom of the crater and then all the way up to the rim and back down to the starting point. Not only is it extremely dangerous for these miners to be working in hazardous conditions, but they also make a very minimal wage – around $10 per day. There are three main ways to go about getting to Ijen – private driver, on your own, or by tour. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Once across the Sea of Sand, you will be welcomed to a nice incline and 250 or so steps up the side of Bromo and towards the crater rim. As you make your way up, you will be welcomed to some incredible mountain landscapes surrounding you. Soon enough you will reach the top of Mount Bromo and its perpetual plume of smoke coming from its crater. What is really unique about Bromo, is that you can actually walk around a good portion of the crater rim. Definitely be careful though as it can get a bit tricky at times. If you do want to walk some of the rim, I would recommend heading up to your left and walking for 10-15 minutes before turning back around. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Next up on the Bromo itinerary is the Sea of Sand. I decided to take the hike down into the crater and across the Sea of Sand. Others choose to hop in a jeep or take a motorbike across. From Cemoro Lawang, the journey down and across on foot should take about 45 minutes to the base of Mount Bromo. Note that once you begin to head down into the Sea of Sand you will be entering the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, which is subject to an entrance fee (217,500 IDR / $15 USD weekdays and 317,500 IDR / $23 USD weekends). The Sea of Sand though is exactly what you would expect. It is just a massive sanded area between Cemoro Lawang and the volcanoes out in the distance. You will see plenty of motorbikes and jeeps heading through dusting up the sand in every which direction. I really enjoyed the walk through though and would definitely recommend if you have it in you. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

A day visiting the Mount Bromo area is not just a hike up Bromo itself. There is much more to a day than just the crater. You have the chance to hike up to some sunrise viewpoints overlooking the National Park, walk through (or bike/jeep through) the Sea of Sand, and climb to the edge of the Mount Bromo crater. There are two main places you can choose to stay in if visiting Mount Bromo – Cemoro Lawang and Probolinggo. Cemoro Lawang is located just at the edge of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. From the town you are able to visit everything in the area on your own without the need for additional transport. My recommendation would be to stay within Cemoro Lawang itself due to the convenience factor and proximity to all the Bromo activities. What makes a Bromo experience so special is the ability to see that vast Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park landscape for sunrise and then truly be able to experience the crater itself. If the clouds are in the area, all those views will be blocked and you won’t enjoy what you came out to see. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Such a magnificent view of beautiful Kawah Ijen Crater! You can enjoy the magnificent blue fire with cheap price if you join one of the local tour. Always prepare with mask and your googles to prevent any sand, and sulphate harming your eyes and respiration, or you can also opt for renting it when you reach the top! You can come in the night and take a rest or enjoying the culinary nearby. It's better to start hiking around 1 AM because it will take around 2,5 hours to hike. You have to arrive at the crater around 4 AM if you don't want to miss the blue fire. Once you are on top, you can choose to go down more to get closer to the crater, thus the blue fire, or you can just stay at the top 🌿☀️🌳💙🔥 #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #volcano
