The must-do sports and activities on Java

The call of the volcanoes: trekking and dizzying climbs

Reaching the summit of Mount Bromo or Kawah Ijen is a dream for adventurers. Climbing these iconic volcanoes remains a highlight of any sporting trip to Java . Walking along the Bromo ridge at dawn, a lunar landscape unfolds beneath the mist, while the effort to reach the acidic lake of Kawah Ijen is rewarded by the surreal beauty of its turquoise waters.
