"Set within a vast caldera in East Java, Bromo delivers a cinematic climb at 7,641 feet: it sits in a sea of volcanic sand with smoke often rising from its crater, and most travelers begin before dawn to watch sunrise from Mount Penanjakan, then cross the sand plain and climb the final set of stairs to Bromo’s rim; the hike is short but atmospheric, and while Bromo is active it is considered safe and regularly visited, with independent hiking common though guides are available." - Hana Al-Khodairi
"Mount Bromo is one of the most popular volcano hikes in Indonesia, though it can be crowded with tourists and cars." - Travel + Leisure Editors
