Why JVTO
Six things that separate JVTO from every other operator in East Java.
Police-Led
Mr. Sam is an active Polpar officer — the only licensed East Java operator founded and led by an active Tourist Police.
100% Private
Your booking = your vehicle, your driver, your guide. No shared groups, no strangers added to your seat.
All-Inclusive — No Surprises
Entrance fees, jeep, accommodation, breakfast, gas masks, and transfers — bundled in writing before payment.
Ijen Health Screening
Medical screening coordinated before the hike — not improvised. Licensed doctor on file with Kemenkes RI.
Verifiable Licenses
Business license, guide association, and park clearance — all publicly verifiable, SHA-256 anchored.
Written Plan B
If a site closes, you get an alternative route — briefed before departure, not improvised at the gate.
Destinations
Five destinations. One licensed operator covering all of them.
All JVTO tours start and end with full logistics covered. Every destination below is served by dedicated private transport — no public buses, no group vans shared with strangers.

Honestly, this trip was so much more special than I expected. 🤍 I was travelling alone, and from the very beginning to the very end, I felt so surrounded, looked after and welcomed by the whole JVTO team. Everyone was so kind, reactive and helpful, and I always felt like I could ask anything and that someone was there to help. A very special thank you to Egy and Juan, who were honestly a true blessing during this trip. 🥹 T…

It was an absolutely amazing experience! We did the 3-day tour from Surabaya to Ijen, Bromo, and the Madakaripura waterfalls. Enchanting places that we were able to enjoy even more thanks to the excellent organization and the great care of our guide, Rendi, and our attentive driver. The timing and organization were truly top-notch. Everything was organized perfectly.

We just ended our 4D 3N tour! All the people from JVTO we came in touch were very helpful but especially our guide Gufron was exceptional! He was very easy to communicate, he was super funny, he knew every good spot in the visited places and made us feel comfortable in every situation! And all of them in a very professional way! Highly recommended

Our Story
Built by someone who saw
what the alternatives looked like.
We saw the gaps first-hand — unlicensed guides, no medical screening, operators with no BBKSDA clearance, no written rules for guests. We built something different: private-only routes, realistic driving days, and clear written policies — shaped by a founder who is an active Tourist Police officer.
“The Tourist Police experience isn't a marketing credential — it's how every safety decision is made.”
Agung “Mr. Sam” Sambuko
Founder · Active Tourist Police Officer
