Top Active Leisure Sport in East Java

My advice is to wear good trekking shoes! I made the mistake of wearing flip flops and regretted it instantly. The trek can be muddy and slippery!

I suggest visiting Tumpak Sewu around 7 AM. The morning light is perfect for photos and it’s way less crowded so you get to enjoy the view in peace.

I recomment bringing some snacks and water... The trek is pretty demanding, and there aren’t any vendors right by the waterfall... Plus, it saves you some cash!

don’t forget to bring a rain jacket or poncho. it can get misty from the waterfall spray, and i got soaked during my visit! a bit of prep can keep you dry.

I recommend packing snacks but skip the store-bought trail mix. I got some fresh local fruits and nuts, way tastier and cheaper! Plus, it’s a nice boost of energy.

I recommend wearing good shoes. The cave has some slippery spots and tricky areas, so a solid pair of sneakers will really help you balance. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.

I suggest checking the weather before you go. The cave can get muddy and uncomfortable if it rains, and it can ruin your experience. Save yourself the hassle and pick a clear day instead!

If you plan on surfing, I recommend hitting the waves early, like around 7 AM. The crowds are smaller, and the waves are way better then. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The local vendors are a bit pricey, and finding a good local restaurant is tougher than I thought. Saving a bit on food will let you splurge on activities instead!
