    The following are the comments on the Bromo volcano after the tour: Beautiful scenery - sunrise scenery shock: climbing in the early morning waiting for the sunrise, when the sun slowly rises, golden sunlight spills on the sea of clouds and volcanoes, the light and shadow change, the clouds and mist are haunting, like a dreamy wonderland, intoxicating. - Volcanic landscape spectacular: huge crater, smoke-spraying scene, surrounded by black sand sea, as if on the lunar surface, unique landscape brings strong visual impact, can deeply feel the majestic power of nature. Experience - Compact itinerary: usually includes a number of activities such as watching the sunrise and watching the crater. The itinerary is full and needs to be planned for time and physical strength. If you participate in a tour group, you must work closely with the tour guide and driver to ensure the smooth completion of the trip. - Different modes of transportation: you can choose to cross the sand sea by jeep, experience cross-country excitement, and ride to the crater for a different kind of fun. Service facilities - General accommodation conditions: the surrounding homestays and hotels are uneven. If the accommodation requirements are high, you need to carefully select and be psychologically prepared. - Limited dining options: local food tastes may not meet all tourists, there are relatively few types of food, tourists with special requirements for diet can bring some food. Note: Weather is changeable: You need to pay attention to the weather forecast before departure. It is easy to have fog, strong wind and heavy rain during the rainy season, which will affect the viewing experience. There is even a safety risk. The dry season is sunny and more suitable for going. - Large dust: mountain roads and volcanoes around dust, to prepare masks, hats and other protective equipment to prevent dust from entering the mouth, nose and eyes.

    When you go to Surabaya, the zoo is worth visiting. It is close to the city center, and the ticket price is just over 7 yuan. There are many kinds of animals, and they are also unique: Komodo dragons, large, medium and small. The number is beyond imagination. The proboscis monkeys are lively and cute, entertaining themselves. It is also convenient to have a dining area in the zoo. The local people are also very friendly. In short, it is so convenient to watch Indonesia's national treasures and special animals up close, and the cost performance is really high. If you have time, you can have a good time for half a day.

    Such a tiring but memorable place. Depart from hotel at 12am, arrive there and had our “breakfast or supper” at 2am and start to hike. We spent around 2.5-3hours to reach the peak. Wait for sun rise and the blue lake was amazing. worth our energy to hit the peak. 😍

    Loved the safari park and the tour. Would recommend to go during weekdays as it is quite empty and you would get to see the animals up close. Went on Friday and Saturday and it was very different. On Friday we got to tour the safari in a van where we got the animal so close to us and open the window but on Saturday, it was on a bus where you can only see the animal from afar. Went for the feeding with carnivours and my kid loved it!
