For those who aren’t night owls but still dream of witnessing the awe-inspiring Bromo volcano in the golden light of day , catching the sunset is a fantastic alternative
. The evening spectacle is just as mesmerizing and will leave you spellbound
.

Heartfelt Recommendation
Viewpoint 1 is an excellent choice; it’s about a 30-40 minute walk back after the show. There’s no need to head to Viewpoint 2 for the sunset unless you’re planning to stay overnight. The sunset at Bromo is truly a sight to behold, especially when the sky is painted with fiery clouds.

How can you fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Bromo?
First, you need to select the perfect vantage point . Each viewpoint offers a unique perspective and altitude, providing a distinct viewing experience

Characteristics of the viewpoints:
Penanjakan Bromo (also known as Penanjakan 1 or View Point 1)
This is the highest spot, offering the most panoramic views, though it can get quite crowded.
Seruni Point
At a lower altitude, this spot is less frequented by tourists, allowing for a more serene appreciation of the sunrise and volcanic landscape.

With over 200 steps, it feels like a mini-adventure on the Great Wall. Four monuments also stand here, adding to its charm.
King Kong Hill
Located 100 meters below Penanjakan 1, this viewpoint provides an open vista and ample light, making it ideal for photography. It’s a popular choice for guided tours.

Bukit Cinta View Point
A prime sunset spot, one of the highest, where you can see three volcanoes at once. However, it’s a bit more remote and requires a hike or horseback ride to reach.

Recommended for:
Those who prefer not to stay up late, families with children, and elderly travelers
Route: Hotel pick-up – Bromo volcano – Sunset – Return
I totally agree that catching the sunset at Bromo is a great option! The view from Viewpoint 1 sounds perfect—enough time to enjoy the moment but not too late to head back. I didn’t realize Viewpoint 2 might be overrated compared to the convenience of this one. Definitely going to plan my visit around this tip!
