- 736allyf0 contributionsLovely east Java TourWe did the 3 day East Java Tour and it was such an amazing experience. We met a lot of nice people including all the Guides and Drivers. The nature we got to see was just sooo amazing. Also Bromo, Ijen and Tumpaksewu they are just so different and also the experience is. Just lovely.Written 10 March 2025

- alisonx20250 contributionsGoodThe view is amazing, highly recommended.It was also very helpful to be alone, and I met a lot of friends. Super recommended! ! !Written 3 March 2025
- avaw8330 contributionsGood in general but don’t do the sunrise tourIt was an amazing experience to see the volcano! However I would highly recommend to not book a sunrise tour. We woke up around 1 am (which was way too early, we had to wait 5 hours in the freezing cold because the view was so bad) It was not a pleasant experience, the organisation was really bad and most of the time we didn’t know for how long we have to wait. I would highly recommend to book a tour where you get to the volcano around 7am, so you don’t have to wait 5 hours in the cold. However all in all, the experience was nice and I would recommend doing it in general.Written 3 March 2025
- brynlin20250 contributionsMador tourGreat people to go with and extremely accomadating! Funny tour guides and always felt like we were in the right hands. Would recommendWritten 24 February 2025

It was organised perfectly and we got to see everything outlined in the brief (including the blue fire on Ijen which was on my travel bucket list) Sidharta was a great tour guide and kept everyone laughing throughout (even with the early wake ups!) It was also incredible value for everything that was included!Written 24 February 2025

Danny, owner of Ourtrip1st has provided very good arrangement/ coordination and we had a great time trekking Semeru.
Day 1- The guide (Rahman) picked us at Surabaya airport and drove to Malang to meet Danny at his office/ hostel (owned by him). During the 3hrs ride (lunch break in-between), Rahman was friendly and shared some history when we drove past some landmarks. He was !always smiling. When we reached Danny’s hostel, he briefed us on the 2d1n itinerary for Semeru. Next, we met our mountain guide, Echo and changed to our current vehicle to Jeep. We got our medical checked (to ensure we are fit to trek Semeru) and then spent in Ranun Pane Village as it was nearer my to the trekking post of Semeru.
Day 2 and 3: Started trekking at about 830am. Echo was attentive and took great take of us, especially during the summit Attack. The porters prepared nice meals too!
If you are visiting Malang, look for Danny and Martha (Danny’s wife) for a hassle free holiday!

With a friend we went on 2 trips organised by Martha and Danny, owners of Our Trip First and the Mador hostel in Malang.
For me the 2 days trip to Semeru was the best experience from Java:
1. 2 days of easy to medium-hard hiking.
2. Very good set up on the way with transport, meals, and tents organised regardless the remote setting.
3. Amazing guide: experienced, knowledgeable, open, entertaining and reassuring – once again thank you very much!
Second day was a sleepover Mador, a costy and centrally located hostel in Malang, that is run by Martha and Danny. During that evening we received a lot of valuable information and assistance with plane ticket reservation.
Third day was visit to Bromo, this one was equally well organised and much less demanding physically – most of it was drive around the Bromo volcano including sunrise and breakfast.
I strongly recommend everyone to pass by Malang and to visit Martha and Danny, these guys basically made my entire visit to Java.
