Most Popular“Amazing. 10/10 recommend for any solo or group travelers. Pretty strenuous hike, so be prepared physically. If you’re afraid of heights, I don’t recommend climbing down into the crater.”
Private midnight trek to Java’s Ijen Crater for blue fire, sulfur miners, and a sunrise over the turquoise lake, with transfers and gear.
“Great scenery and challenging descent to the crater. Guides and drivers are not all that nice with tourists. So different from Bali where you feel welcomed everywhere.”
Guided Ijen Crater hike from Banyuwangi with blue flames at night, turquoise acid lake views, sunrise from the rim, plus pickup and gear.
“The trip was amazing! The driver was great and Fendi the tourguide was so sweet. Their English was very good. I booked the tour at 03:00 am, but they texted me to check whether or not I wanted to see the blue fire. They picked me up earlier to make sure I could witness it…”
Every great trekking region, and the routes worth walking in each.
