Tour Overview

A 7-day crossing of Java, from the temple plains of Yogyakarta to the smoking crater rim of Mount Bromo in the island's east. Private vehicles and a 4WD jeep excursion connect every stop, with two of the world's great sunrise experiences built into the itinerary: dawn over the stupas of Borobudur, and dawn over the Tengger Sand Sea.

Highlights include a pre-dawn walk through the world's largest Buddhist monument, the Hindu stone spires of Prambanan at sunset, and a jeep ride across volcanic sand to hike the final stretch to Bromo's smoking crater rim as the sun rises behind Mount Semeru.
