Journey Through East Java, Indonesia
 5 days / 4 nights
 
This journey through East Java will lead us from Surabaya to Banyuwangi, crossing many smoking volcanoes, national parks, traditional villages and unspoilt panoramas. East Java is often synonymous of raw volcanic power and unique landscapes created by these unpredictable mountains of fire, offering inspiring sunrises like on top of the Mount Bromo or Mount Ijen, with its crater lake and brave sulphur miners. The volcanic activity has created a largely fertile area and verdant agriculture all across the region. At the end of this journey, we will take a ferry to cross the Bali Strait - a stretch of water separating Java and Bali of 2.4 km wide at its narrowest between Ketapang and Gilimanuk- and drop you in the south of Bali.
