An unforgettable waterfall tour

My sister and I absolutely loved the tour to the Tumpak Sewu waterfall. At first we had the most sweet taxi driver to bring us from Malang to the waterfall parking. His name is Navis. Then “Tjo” took over: our tour guide. We really liked his vibe and he was very helpful. Plus he was the best photographer! The tour was definitely the highlight of our Java trip and we would recommend it to everyone.

10/10 experience- Make sure to get there early!

Tumpak Sewu is the best waterfall I have ever seen and it was a great morning spent exploring the waterfall, canyon, and the Tetes waterfall and caves. Our guide was super and took amazing photos for us.

Stunning landscape

A really great experience! The landscape is absolutely stunning. We truly appreciated the kindness of our guide, Moury, and our driver, Fani — both were incredibly helpful and made the experience even more enjoyable. Some parts of the path were a bit challenging, but definitely worth it.

Great trip and guide

Fani was an amazing guide. He tailored the trip to my interests and abilities, offering many options for getting close to the waterfalls and exploring caves. He took lots of photos and videos along the way. I was glad I wore trail running shoes and not sandals because there was lots of walking through water on rocks. Fani was careful to point out places that were more slippery, and there were never any issues. Because we arrived early and didn't follow the same route as other guides, we had most places to ourselves.

Must visit! Majestic waterfalls!

Wow HIGHLIGHT of my 3 week trip to Indonesia! ABSOLUTELY STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL WATERFALLS! Bima was a great driver and really helpful and courteous. He drove me there and back to and from Surabaya. Rio was a fantastic guide, he really took wonderful pictures and knew exactly the safest path around the waterfalls!

Awesome guide & trip

Perfect trip from Malang to Tumpak Sewu. Clean and comfortable car, and the views at Tumpak were amazing. The guide really made the trip: very friendly and knowledgeable on the wildlife, Indonesian history & culture, and the best spots to get good photos. I used the same company and guide to take a Bromo sunrise trip, which was also awesome. Highly recommended for solo female travellers!

A great trip with spectacular and magical waterfalls.

Very well organized and satisfying. Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is one of Indonesia’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Most visitors only visit its circular waterfall, although there are many spots to visit. Fortunately, Mas Fani will take you to visit many hidden gems, so be prepared to get wet, because he will take you to a more challenging route. I took a day trip from Malang. I was picked up at 5.10 am, arrived at 7.00 am, then had a 6-hour trip. During the trip, I also got a chance to try tropical fruits under the falls and Indonesia’s favorite food, “gorengan”. Before returning to the hotel, I was served a super yummy noodles, anyway you can choose any kind of food you like. Your trip will be well documented, as well as both photos and videos. Thank you for the great trip. My weekend was well spent! 🤝🤝

Worth visiting, but be careful!

Fani responded to my Whatsapp message very quickly and gave me a fair fee to pick up my two friends and I from Malang airport. When we arrived, he was already there waiting for us with snacks and water in the car. The drive was about two hours and along the way, Fani spoke to us in English, telling us facts about Indonesia and their culture along the way. When we arrived, he allowed us to change in the car, and waited patiently on us to go down to the falls. On our way down, there was a small store selling Salak Pondoh (snake fruit), which neither of us had eaten before, and he bought it for us and showed us how to peel it, so we could taste! The falls were beautiful and Fani was a fantastic guide, knowing the route by heart, and taking fantastic photos! One of my friends did fall pretty hard at the end, so I would watch where you step!!! It is very slippery and there are a lot of rocks. your shoes and socks will get wet. When she fell, our guide helped to get band-aids, and we slowed our ascent back to the van. At the end, he dropped us back to our accommodation in Malang.
