Itinerary
The trekking will take about 1 – 2 hours, depending on your fitness. Upon your arrival at the top of the crater, you will be invited to see the most famous natural phenomenon of blue fire. It’s only 2 in the world, in Ijen Crater, Indonesia and Dallol Volcano, Ethiopia. But to see closer, you must go down into the crater of Ijen. It’s pretty dangerous, so if you feel doubt to go down, we suggest to stay on the top while waiting for the sunrise. At about 6 am, you will see the best view of Mount Ijen, which is the turquoise color of the acid lake that makes the view more incredible.

Very nice guide that helps you with all needs, friendly, and knows how to take good pictures and videos😁😎🤟 Totally worth to visit!
We did the Mount Ijen Tour with Java Adventure Trail for the second time, the first time in 2019 and we were very excited again. In advance, Sofyan answered all our questions and advised us well. As a guide we had Dhani who picked us up at the ferry at night with a big smile. Dhani was a great guide and we are very glad he did the tour with us! He told us a lot and it felt like we were out with a good friend. He also took great care of us and we always felt safe! From gas masks to flashlights to tea at sunrise, everything was taken care of. Also our driver Rico was super nice! In general, we were very happy that we did the tour again and can only recommend it!
The decission to travel to Ijen with Dhani was literally the best decession of our entire trip. We left from pemuteran with our nice driver Arya and everything is taken care of. We met Dhani before the ferry and from that point he escorded us the entire way. He is the nicest guide we’ve met so far!
We had a great trip to Mount Ijen with the best guide. Everything was set up perfectlh. Pick up and drop off from the villa aswell. Everything to a very fair price
Mine Blue Flame Volcano Tour was an unforgettable adventure! Even though the blue flame was very small than I hoped that night, the experience was still magical — watching the first light of sunrise over the crater and feeling the energy of the volcano was something truly special. Mine guide, Hamid, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, making sure that I felt safe and comfortable during the climb. He explained everything about the volcano, and the natural wonders of the area , the miners who work long hours in harsh conditions: smoke, toxic gases, steep terrain, and extreme heat .Miners carry heavy baskets of sulfur, often 50–90 kg per trip, down the crater to sell. A huge thank you as well to our drivers, Wasis and Adi, for being so friendly, patient, and professional — the long drive felt easy and enjoyable thanks to their good energy and smiles. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable trip, full of warmth, care, and adventure — even if nature decided to keep her blue flames a bit shy that night. 💙
Hamid (my guide) and Nuril (the driver) were absolutely amazing—I honestly consider them friends now! I wasn’t sure what to expect, besides seeing the blue flames at Mt. Ijen, but this tour was so much more. We ate at local street vendors, and Hamid seemed to know everyone—he encouraged me to taste fresh fruits before buying and always made sure I got a fair price. Hamid shared so much about the culture, the miners, and the volcano, and truly went above and beyond in every way. The hike was tough at times, but he encouraged breaks, carried my backpack, had me hold his hand for balance down uneven surfaces, as well as taught me local phrases, and took so many beautiful photos along the way. This experience was unforgettable, all thanks to Hamid and Nuril!
I did the Ijen Tour with my three children (9-14 years). Because of the kids we decided to start early morning instead of during the night. It was an amazing experience, also without the blue fire, which is only visible in the night. Rahman is a wonderful tour guide. Thank you for the wonderful tour 🙏
It was an indescribable great tour. I had a lot of fun with my guide yogi. Nice guy. To him. Was the welfare of the holidaymaker very important. With Banu the driver I felt safe for the first time in a car in Indonesia. 😂 The tour is recommended to everyone.
We booked a tour to Mount Ijen. All was very well organized and goes smoothly. A driver picked up us at your hotel at Permutaran, then we met our guide Dani who took the ferry with us to Java and another driver was waiting for us to bring us to the start point of the hike. We had an incredible day with our guide Dani. He was a fantastic guide, very kind. He gave us many explanations on miners and sulfure. He really takes care of us especially on me who has more difficulties. He was very cautious on our security. .Thanks a lot to all the team.
Our trip with Yogi and Fendi was unforgettable! Yogi guided us with so much knowledge and enthusiasm, making every moment exciting. Thanks to his planning, we got to see the magical Blue Fire at Ijen — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Fendi was a fantastic driver, always safe, punctual, and friendly, making our journey smooth and comfortable. Together, they made the trip special, and we couldn’t have asked for better company. Highly recommend both Yogi and Fendi!
