点评:4D3N Surabaya return - Malang Rainbow Village, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen.
We have just had an excellent holiday, arranged by Edy and guided by Supri and our driver Pram. We started in Surabaya, stopping at the Malang Rainbow Village on our way to our first night's accommodation. This was an additional request from us and Edy was happy to arrange. We just needed to leave a little bit earlier in the morning. We also arrived at our first nights accommodation before check in and Supri took us to a waterfall lookout (Kapas Biru) as an additional activity.
Supri made sure we arrived at Tumpak Sewu Waterfall early to avoid the crowds and we were able to take excellent photos. He also guided us through a less common trail back, passing through caves in the cliffs for our return hike up the gorge. This was about 4km all up, with steep stairs descending and coming back up. You will get wet but there is opportunity to get changed at the accommodation before departing for Bromo.
Mount Bromo is a very popular tourist destination. We visited in shoulder season but there would have easily been hundreds of cars with a couple of thousand people visiting. Supri took us to a sunset spot in the evening. In the morning, Supri was able to get us in nice and early for front row access to the sunrise location and was also able to take us to some quieter spots. The sea of sand is extremely dusty from horses kicking up the sand and a shemagh is recommended. All up, this day was about 12km walking.
Mount Ijen was not quite as busy (only recently reopening following bushfires). Supri was again able to use his local knowledge (and experience as a miner) to get us great access and the best sunrise location. If you are fit, you can beat the crowd to the blue flame. This was about 17km all up, including walking down into the crater and is all very steep and can be slippery.
There is lots of walking and early starts in this trip, so it is important to be prepared for this. Supri was able to assess our level of fitness and give us some more adventurous options. If you are concerned about the amount of walking, there are lower impact activities like lookouts you can still enjoy at each location (excluding Ijen however you can pay locals approx $100usd to cart you up and down). The accommodation was comfortable and there was a good range of breakfast options at each location, including a packed breakfast for the morning at Ijen.
Supri and Pram provided excellent commentary during our drives between locations and made sure everything was arranged ready for our arrival at each location. They were very friendly, enthusiastic and spoke great English.
Booking through Edy took the stress of organising the logistics and travel. Communication via Whatsapp prior to the holiday was great. On arrival and throughout the trip, everything was efficient and our guide Supri went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time and took us to the less busy areas to get the best experience.
We would highly recommend booking your tour through Explore Bromo Ijen.
翻译:4天3夜泗水往返之旅——马尔昂彩虹村、图姆帕克塞武瀑布、布罗莫火山以及伊真火山。
我们刚刚度过了一段美好的假期。此次行程由Edy精心安排,并由Supri和司机Pram全程陪同指导。我们从泗水出发,在前往第一晚下榻酒店的途中顺道游览了马尔昂彩虹村。这是我们应要求新增的行程项目,Edy也欣然为我们安排。只是我们需要早上稍微早一点出发而已。我们在规定入住时间之前就抵达了当晚的住宿地,随后苏普里带我们去了一处瀑布观景台(卡帕斯比鲁)作为额外的活动。
苏普里确保我们能早早赶到图姆帕克塞武瀑布,以避开人群,因此我们得以拍下许多绝美的照片。返程时,他还带领我们走了一条较少有人走的路线,沿途要穿过悬崖上的洞穴。整个往返路程大约4公里,包含一段陡峭的下坡楼梯以及随后的上坡路。你可能会被淋湿,但在出发前往布罗莫之前,可以在住宿处更换衣物。
布罗莫火山是一个非常受欢迎的旅游目的地。我们是在旅游淡季去的,但即便如此,现场仍有数百辆车以及上千名游客。傍晚时,苏普里带我们去了观赏日落的绝佳地点。第二天早上,他又早早地安排我们进入观日出的最佳位置,还带我们去了一些较为安静的景点。这片沙海因为马匹踢起的沙粒而尘土飞扬,因此建议戴上头巾防护。当天我们总共走了约12公里。
伊真火山一带游客相对较少(该地刚在林火过后重新对公众开放)。苏普里再次凭借他对当地的了解(以及作为矿工的经验)为我们争取到了绝佳的进入权限和观赏日出的最佳位置。只要体力足够,就能抢在人群之前看到那神奇的蓝色火焰。这一天的徒步路程总计约17公里。包括步行下到火山口内,沿途非常陡峭且容易打滑。
这次行程需要大量步行,而且出发时间都很早,因此做好充分准备至关重要。Supri能够评估我们的体能水平,并为我们提供一些更具冒险性的选择。如果您担心步行量过大,其实在每个地点都有一些低强度的活动可以参与,比如欣赏观景台的景色(不过在伊真火山不行;不过您可以付给当地人大约100美元,让他们用推车帮您上下山)。住宿环境舒适,每个地点的早餐选择也很丰富,包括在伊真火山提供的便于携带的早餐包。
苏普里和普拉姆在我们往返各景点的途中提供了出色的讲解服务,还确保我们在抵达每个地点时一切都已安排妥当。他们非常友好热情,英语说得也很流利。
通过埃迪来预订行程,让我省去了安排交通和行程的诸多麻烦。假期前通过WhatsApp进行的沟通非常顺畅。抵达后以及整个行程中,一切都安排得井然有序。我们的导游Supri尽心尽力,确保我们度过了一段愉快的时光,还带我们去人少的地方,让我们获得了绝佳的体验。
我们强烈推荐大家通过Explore Bromo Ijen来预订旅游服务。
