Cruise ships often stop here, and if you’re stepping ashore for just a day, Surabaya offers a lot to discover. Let’s dive into what you can experience on our Surabaya City Tour from the Cruise Port.

Surabaya City Tour Highlights

• Heroes' Monument

  • We kick off at the Heroes' Monument. It’s not just a striking landmark—this is where Surabaya’s fight for independence comes alive. You’ll hear gripping tales of resistance against Dutch and British colonial forces and get the chance to honor the city’s heroes. 

  • If it’s a Monday, we’ll also stop by the Bung Tomo Museum, packed with artifacts and fascinating stories from Surabaya’s freedom movement.

• Hotel Majapahit

  • After that, we’ll stroll over to the historic Hotel Majapahit. Once the favorite spot for Dutch colonists, the hotel still oozes old-world elegance. Walk through lush gardens or just soak up the beautiful architecture. It’s like stepping back in time.

• Red Bridge

  • Next, we’ll check out the Red Bridge stretching across the Surabaya River. With its unique design and epic city views, this spot pretty much demands a selfie—or a few. It’s a great place to catch your breath and take it all in.

• House of Sampoerna

  • Don’t miss the House of Sampoerna, one of the coolest stops on the tour. Here you’ll see how Surabaya’s legendary cigarettes are made, watch hand-rolling in action, and explore both the museum and its art gallery.
