Tour di trekking sul Monte Ijen con fuoco blu da Bali (privato tutto incluso)

This tour was everything I hoped it would be. The tour manager kept in contact leading up to pick up and alerted us of any changes. Our driver, Halil, was the highlight of our trip. It’s a very long journey to get from Bali to Mt. Ijen and having someone we can laugh with and talk with along the way made the journey better. The hike itself wasn’t too difficult, and our hiking guide Jimmy was excellent. Not only did he keep us safe and stay at our pace, he also was very knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. We were so ecstatic we got to see the blue flames. Even though there are plenty of reviews about how strong the sulfur was, I was still surprised. Don’t stand downwind!. We hiked up to the crater rim to catch the sunrise, the tea and snacks were an excellent break in the hike. I would say it was definitely worth it to do the extended tour, especially if you are not staying in the northern region of Bali.

It was a great experience! Transport was arranged and it was very comfortable. The guide was friendly and he ensured that he kept pace with us. Took us down to the crater to see the fumes.

Had a great time with my mom seeing north Bali and hiking Kawah Ijen. Our driver Holil has such a positive attitude and was patient (he drove a lot), and our hiking guide Jeymi was friendly, accommodating and a great videographer! The homestay was also pleasant with a beautiful garden. Overall, the tour was well organized.

We had a great time doing this trip. Gusti, our driver, was great. He managed the roads so well and took us through central and north Bali which made the journey scenic but just as quick as the main road . The sites we visited in Bali were good to see and spots we enjoyed. The ferry ride both ways was easy, all we had to do was enjoy the trip. One of the reasons we chose this trip was that you were not on the go from pick up until return home. We stayed at the Hadi Homestay - which was lovely with delicious home cooked dinner before and breakfast after. Our guide Shirley (hope I spelt his name correctly) who took us up Mt Ijen was excellent and found us great viewing spots. Highly recommend this tour.

This tour was absolute perfection from start to finish!! While it was a long journey from Ubud, it was genuinely one of the most incredible experiences of my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It is absolutely worth the trip from Bali. Things I loved about this tour: 1. Great communication from tour company and driver — driver picked us up at our homestay in Ubud at 11am, drove us north to visit a Temple, stopped for lunch and picked up some tropical fruit. Smooth and easy ride. 2. Java homestay — lovely homestay with dinner and breakfast included. We snuck in a few hours of sleep from about 10pm-1am and this made a huge difference in giving us energy for the hike (you start hiking at 2am). The dinner and the breakfast they prepared for us after the hike in the morning were both fabulous. 3. Hiking guide — Great guide who took us up the mountain. He took awesome photos of us throughout the hike and even made a video slideshow for us at the end. 4. Mt Ijen! — It's hard to describe how beautiful this spot is. We came for the blue lava and saw a little bit, but it was the volcano, lake, and sunrise that actually ended up being the absolute show-stoppers. It was like nothing I had ever seen! If you're considering this tour, absolutely go for it!! It was an experience I will never forget—you won't regret it!

Gusti came to pick us up at the airport and from there we headed to the first stop, Twin Lake, where he was taking pictures of us. After that we went straight to the ferry. We dined in a very cozy homestay with typical homemade food. We woke up at 1am and from there we made the excursion with a local guide, Pak Sherly who was also very nice and although it was not better time to watch the blue fire, he was looking for a corner so we could enjoy it. After that at the homestay we were served breakfast, shower and back at our hotel. Recommended 100%

I truly recommend the private trip from Bali to the Ijen and Bromo volcanoes with Gusti. He is an experienced guide and driver who prepared everything perfectly. We felt very comfortable with him, and the itinerary was well planned and organized. The Ijen hike may be a bit challenging for those who haven’t hiked before, but the views and the Blue Fire are absolutely worth all the effort. The local guide took great care of us, gave us enough time to rest, and even acted as our photographer. It was an amazing and unforgettable journey! Driving manners and traffic in Indonesia are very different from those in Europe, and some tourists might feel a bit nervous — but with Gusti there’s nothing to worry about. He’s a great driver and a genuinely kind person.

The best experience ever!!!! The guide was the best! He took great care of us and held my hand on the slippery descents at all times.Thank you for everything!!! Amazing

The tour to Mount Ijen was an incredible experience for us. The drive from Ubud, it has been pleasant due to the distance, about 7 hours drive and an additional 1.5 hours on the ferry both there and back, something in itself, but by the entertainment and explanations of our driver Gusti, nevertheless. The ascent is not a problem for experienced mountain hikers, the descent to the blue flames a little more challenging. We had the guide Sherly, who was a highlight in itself, as he was incredibly funny, informative and attentive. With us there were about 1,500 people on the mountain that day, but we were also able to leave them largely behind because of our guide. On full days, even up to 3,000 people are supposed to be out at night. Let's get to the actual destination of the trip, the blue flames and the sunrise. Since the sunrise is only visible from the crater rim in the months of June, July and August, it was not an issue and the priority for us in the flames... and they were a breathtaking experience for us. The glow of the blue flames in the darkness are indescribable and worth any effort. However, we must also point out that the biting gases sometimes make it difficult to see and breathe, despite the mask.

The drive to Kawah Ijen was very long, but our driver, Gede, did a great job. We mentioned that we wanted to try some of the local fruits, so he took us to a market and showed us how to pick out the good ones. There were 3 stops in total, the first one was at a coffee plantation where they gave us free samples of the coffee and tea. The second stop was at Ulun Danu, a beautiful temple, and is super calm and peaceful inside. Its a great place to have lunch and just relax. The third stop was at the Twin Lakes vantage point where you could see both of the lakes from very high up in the mountains. We were scheduled to start heading over to base camp by 1am. When we got there, we were greeted by our guide, Sherly. The hike up the mountain was a lot more tiring than we had expected, but it was worth it. Sherly was very funny, cracking jokes the whole time, and he also told us about how he used to be a sulfur miner for 2 years, and then became a guide for 12 years. We were able to see the blue flame, it was very surreal looking. When we were done looking at the flame, Sherly brought us to a vantage point for viewing the sunrise. We didnt really see the sun because of the fog, but the view of the lake was incredible as the sunlight slowly illuminated our surroundings. Sherly helped us take photos and videos this whole time, and even put together a cinematic video that he quickly edited. Overall really great experience, our guide, Sherly, did an excellent job. Our driver, Gede, was super accomodating, and did an excellent job as well. Gas masks and headlamps were provided. I would recommend bringing a small backpack with a few bottles of water. It can also get quite chilly so make sure to bring a thin jacket that you can store in your backpack. Dinner and breakfast was also provided at the homestay.
