Day 2: Sunrise Jeep Tour – Mount Bromo Crater – Tosari

Mid-Morning – Cross the Sea of Sand
After sunrise, descend in the Jeep across the Lautan Pasir (Sea of Sand) — a vast desert-like plain at the base of Mount Bromo. From here, walk or ride a horse to the base of the crater, then climb the 250 steps to the rim for an up-close look at the smoldering volcanic core.

After exploring the crater, continue your adventure with a scenic Jeep ride through Pasir Berbisik (Whispering Sands) and the Savannah Hills, often nicknamed “Teletubbies Hill” for its rolling green meadows.
