A beautiful expedition - I participated in this tour organized by my hotel. We visited both volcanoes and saw the Blue Fire up close. Our driver Aris accompanied us throughout and was very helpful at every stage (choice of guides, drop-off place after the tour ,etc.). Thanks to him.

Amazing 3 days trip in Java 😍 - What a great experience was this 3 days trip! Madakaripura waterfalls, Bromo and Ijen are some wonders waiting for you to discover. At last, I can only recommend Smartine travel with a big thanks to Vinda who was always available by Whatsapp whenever a question poped up. And we also want to thank our driver Dodo who put a lot of efforts to make this trip unforgettable!

3 days from highlight to highlight - Day 1 started very relaxed. Our driver Herry picked us up from our hotel in Surubaya and we went straight to the Madakaripura waterfall. At the waterfall parking lot we were taken on mopeds within 5 minutes to the starting point where we left with our guide. The waterfall was beautiful and it was a lot of fun to wade through the water. Rain ponchos can be obtained there for little money, otherwise rain jacket and bathing suits are advantageous. After that we stayed near Mountain Bromo for one night in a beautiful hotel, with an excellent breakfast. Breakfast was only available after our tour on Mt. Bromo. That's where we left at 2 in the morning. We recommend taking a snack for the early hours. Herry has provided us with water and always made sure that we sleep a little more in the car. Also on Mt. Bromo we had a great time. A very dear jeep driver took us as far up as possible. The last 300 meters we walked alone to the viewpoint on the King kong hill. The next hotel was on its way to Mt. Ijen. Also beautiful, we spent the afternoon by the large pool to rest, because at midnight we already continued to Mt. Ijen. Herry drove us there again safely and quickly. At the parking lot he handed us over to our guide Lele (pronounced Lily). First you have a climb to the crater, which is easy to manage. Afterwards, the migration to the Blue flames entered the crater. This is definitely more demanding and should only be done if you are fit enough. However, our guide Lele was really great and we felt very safe and supported with him. It radiates a calmness that has jumped to us. Since we did not have to share Lele with anyone, we had a big advantage in the descent. We have seen many larger groups with less support. Our big highlights were the sunrise at the viewtop, because we still saw after we were in the crater and Lele's stories about the mine work and his own experiences. Mt. Creating Ijen was a great achievement for us and we are remembered very positively and gratefully thanks to the great leadership of Lele. Finally, we would like to thank Herry and Lele once again for making this experience so unique and beautiful for us. Since this tour was designed with a lot of heart and unique personalities in mind, we would like to recommend it to you, as it became a core memory of our trip and showed us a different side of Indonesia that we would not have otherwise known.

Bromo and Ijen Trip with Smartine Travel - Must do when in East-Java. Bromo and Ijen are two highlights not to be missed. Both volcano tours are very popular which means large crowds. Large crowds means its important to know your way and be at the right place at the right time. We did the typical trip (2 nights / 3 days) with Smartine and would definitely recommend this tour operator. Our tour guide Mull spoke perfect English, had all the local connections and went out of his way to ensure that all of our expectations were met. On top he has the best humour ever! 10/10 would do again!

3-day Mount Bromo & Iljen Crater - Had a great experience on this 3-day tour with private guide and driver who did everything to make it as a family as pleasant as possible. Given the early hour that you had to get up each time we were not able to make much use of the accommodations provided for overnight, nevertheless they were a nice and well-kept hostel and hotel. Important to know is that it can be quite cold at both Mount Bromo and Iljen Crater in the (very) early hours. Therefore, dressing quite warmly for both locations, long pants and sweater do not appear to be a luxury. Even if you can rent a warm jacket on site for only a few euros. Also important to know is that the trip to, and in, Iljen Crater is quite difficult. Steep climb to the crater rim, followed by a steep descent along a steep bumpy path (in traffic jam) to the ‘blue flame’ where you have to wear your oxygen mask. Then the same trip in the other direction. Totally more than 10 km and still needed several hours. But all in all viewed a top experience and highly recommended. Eki has given us an unforgettable experience at a correct price for which many thanks 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Amazing experience with Didik - We really enjoyed our tour. It was well organized. The waterfall we visited had a hike, but the view was wonderfull! The first hotel was very cozy and close to the mount bromo activity. Both the mount bromo and blue fire activities were an amazing experience. For the blue fire it was a long hike but we were joined by a very experienced guide. We had Didik as our personal driver. We had a very relaxed tour, he was always on time to pick us up and drove us safely to each part of the tour and told us about interesting things on Java. We can highly recommend this tour for anyone that likes to have amazing experiences.

Great experience! - Exceptional experience, beautiful sunrise on Mount Bromo, truly suggestive. Hike to the volcano Ljen unique, blue lava to see at least once in a lifetime. All the local guides who assigned us were really professional and kind. Hotel definitely up to the task. Mull, our tour guide, was very professional, kind, attentive to our needs. Great value for money. We would recommend

I would hire Smartine again as I recommend. - Smartine is an organized, honest company but it would be important to offer more information and guidance on the signed tours. I believe that completely without the knowledge of Smartine, a very unpleasant situation occurred with the guide we asked to make the volcano of Ijen. We were sent a polite guide and indeed knowledgeable of the place but his behavior was disappointing; due to the slippery soil I thought to pay a cart offered by the local men for the return if it became difficult for the descent. In view of this, the guide in question asked me to leave with him the value of 500 rupees to pay for the service if I decided to pick up the cart. I began to go down and saw that there would be no problem but the guide insisted very, very, very much for me to hire the service not letting me go down and saying that I would slip; then he talked to a local who had been coming after us since the exit of Jien. My daughter and my sister who were together heard him talking to the local and combining the price of 200 rupees to go down. On arrival, the guide turned his back to me to talk to the local and then told me that he had paid but did not tell me the value is so little returned me the rest.
