East Java

Land of Volcanoes

East Java is defined by some of Indonesia's most spectacular volcanic scenery, including the towering Mount Semeru, the highest peak on Java, and the otherworldly caldera of Mount Bromo within the Tengger highlands. These landscapes draw travelers from around the world while sustaining the upland farming communities that cultivate their fertile slopes.

Surabaya and the Coast

The provincial capital Surabaya is a major Indonesian metropolis and port, serving as a vibrant hub for industry, trade, and maritime links across the eastern archipelago.

Culture and Agriculture

From the Tengger people of the highlands to the Madurese of the coast, East Java holds a diverse cultural mosaic alongside rich rice, sugar, and tobacco agriculture.
