  • Day 5

    Yogyakarta

    There's more to discover in Yogyakarta today! See some Javanese temples, bike to rice paddies on the outskirts of the city, try street food like gudeg (curry made from unripe jackfruit), or soak in the last rays of sun at the stunning Buddhist Borobudur temple complex — and make sure you don't forget your camera.

  • Day 6

    Yogyakarta

    Another free day in Yogyakarta means another day to connect with it's perfect blend of rich heritage and vibrant street life. Spend today seeing whats left on your "Yogyakarta bucket list."

In the evening, opt to explore the bustling energy of Malioboro Street for incredible local street food and souvenir shopping.

    Yogyakarta/Desa Ngadas

    Take the scenic route to Ngadas via private vehicle. Here, you'll spend the evening at a local the tour operator-supported community homestay.

    Desa Ngadas/Bromo

    Today's for reaching new heights. Start the day with a village walk then trek along the Ancestor Trail to Mt Bromo, led by a local guide trained through the the tour operator-supported capacity building program. Take a jeep ride after lunch to start the hike to the volcano's crater (and take some pictures!) before going to the hotel.

  • Day 9

    Bromo/Red Island

    Skip sleeping in today for a pre-dawn walk to Mt Bromo, where you can catch a final glimpse of the moon and stars before the golden sunrise. Stop to breathe it all in before you head to a beachside surf camp on Red Island.
