This spot is right next to the Nirvana Cliffs and left us amazed during our Tumpak Sewu exploration. It’s not just a regular pond — the Blue Lake is incredibly unique. Its clear blue water is mesmerizing, almost like blue fire when calm and serene.
The Blue Lake captivated us with its natural beauty, unlike any other lake or pond we’ve seen before. The water here is so clear and blue that it leaves you speechless.
Here, you can see truly unique natural phenomena. The water splashing from this lake has a color like the blue of fire. Then, it will appear as usual when the water is still. We had a great time playing in the water here.
You can relax and swim in the cool mountain mineral water, surrounded by the refreshing mountain air that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Besides the 4 stunning places mentioned above, there’s another special spot, Tetes Cave Tumpak Sewu. You don’t need to worry about finding your way here safely and comfortably.

Tourist Attractions During Tour or Trip to Mount Bromo
During the tour with us, we will take you to several popular tourist spots in Mount Bromo. Here are some must-visit tourist spots you won’t want to miss:
1. Pasir Berbisik or Whispering Sand
Pasir Berbisik is a popular photo spot. In 2001, it was used as the backdrop for the Indonesian movie “Pasir Berbisik” directed by Nan Achnas, a female director and producer from Indonesia. Besides being a film setting, this tourist spot is also often used for shooting documentaries or pre-wedding photos.
One famous pre-wedding photo shoot that took place here was by the Indonesia singer, Judika.
2. Padang Savannah
However, this differs from the general perception. The Padang Savannah located in Mount Bromo has beautiful green grass that ranges in height from half a meter to one meter. It has a lot of wild grass, making this tourist spot perfect for those who long for the lushness of nature and also an ideal place for photo backgrounds or documentation.
Besides having a beautiful view, many tourists capture moments by taking photos with horses rented out by local people or tourism managers. So, it’s not just impressive selfies. You can also take photos while riding a horse, much like in magazines with nature-themed backgrounds.
3. Teletubbies Hill
If you’ve ever seen the children’s TV show “Teletubbies”, you’ll recognize the scenery here. These beautiful, eye-catching hills look just like the ones in the show. But there’s more—besides the stunning views, you’ll also enjoy the refreshing mountain air that’s unique to Mount Bromo.

For city dwellers or those living in low-lying areas, witnessing a true sunrise can be a rare treat. Typically, we see the sun already high above our rooftops.
