Discover Surabaya & Bali: Ultimate Guide to Volcanic Skies and Hidden Island Wonders

Sisters! I just wrapped up this spontaneous Bali adventure, and I’m thrilled to share my “visually stunning” itinerary 📸! Over 5 days and 4 nights, from the dramatic volcanic sands to the enchanting cliffs, every moment was a feast for the eyes ✨

📍Day1｜Landing into a Painting
✈️ After touching down at Denpasar airport, a private car whisked us straight to the [Bromo Volcano Area Hotel] 🌋. As night fell, we lounged by the pool, gazing at the Milky Way, with the distant volcano’s silhouette glowing faintly under the starry sky. The exotic romance of Indonesia began here, igniting a sense of wonder 💫

📍Day2｜Chaser of Light
We set off in the dark at 4:30 AM! 🌅 When the first golden rays burst from the Bromo crater, the entire “sand sea” transformed into a shimmering amber landscape 🏜️. Hiking through the volcanic ash, our footprints sank deep into the dunes, and we felt the solitary beauty of what seemed like the “end of the world” 🌪️

📍Day3｜Breakfast with Dolphins
🌊 At 6 AM on Lovina Beach, wild dolphins leaped out of the water, playfully accompanying us as we enjoyed banana pancakes 🍌! Later, we explored the golden reliefs of Ubud Palace and the vibrant tie-dye skirts at the art market. A 10 RMB frangipani bracelet caught my eye, and suddenly, I found myself dreaming of marrying Bali 💍

📍Day4｜Falling into the Land of Fairies
🚤 We hopped on a speedboat to Nusa Penida! 🌊
The fault cliff at [Angel’s Billabong] looked as if it had been split by a giant, with sapphire waters surging through the crevices 💙. The natural swimming pool at [Tirta Gangga], surrounded by reefs, was perfect for Instagram shots! 📸 (Don’t forget to wear non-slip shoes!)

📍Day5｜Lazy Farewell Ceremony
We indulged in a floating breakfast in the pool villa 🥥, followed by a relaxing “volcanic stone SPA” massage 💆. As we took one last glance at Bali, the mango sticky rice from the airport still lingered in our stomachs, but the memories had already turned into cherished wine 🍹

💡Tips:
● Wear high-top shoes for volcano hiking! Sand can easily get into flip-flops.
● Be cautious when taking photos at the fairy cliff (I saw a phone fall off the edge!).
● No bare shoulders allowed at Ubud Palace; rent a sarong for 5 RMB at the entrance.
