Overview

Start from your hotel at
- 19.00pm : drive around 4 hours to the port cross by ferry then from Ketapang port at Java drive around 1.5 hour. Our Experienced local Guide will escort for about 1.45 minutes to reach the top of Mt Ijen . The route is well maintained in good condition and other views of rounding volcanoes and luxurious vegetation will make your journey more memorable. From the crater rim, we will take you down to see the blue fire right on the edge of the acidic lake (temperature of the lake : +- 40°c; Ph: 0,5 ; max depth:+-200m). The laker is also the source for the river Banyupahit, resulting in highly acidic and metal-enriched river water which has a significant detrimental effect on the downstream river ecosystem. No worry we already providing you gas mask.

Itinerary

Mount Ijen is an active volcano located on the border between Banyuwangi Regency and Bondowoso Regency, East Java, Indonesia. One of the most famous natural phenomena of Mount Ijen is the crater located at its peak. This mountain climbing can be started from several places. Climber can depart from Banyuwangi or from Bondowoso. Observe the ‘blue flames’ of Ijen Crater during a guided trek on Mt Ijen. Departing from Bali by ferry, this 24-hour excursion brings you to East Java by midnight to start your predawn hike to the summit. Witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon in the darkness and later be treated to superb views inside Ijen Crater. Bring your camera to capture the sight and meet local sulphur miners who toil on the mountain. Numbers are limited to ensure a small-group experience.
4 hour drive to Gilimanuk port where our ferry departed at 10pm. No sleep later, in the dark of night, Gilimanuk almost reminded you of Calais in France and all those campervan holidays.

Onboard, we arrived to karaoke on the ferry… you certainly don’t see that in Calais.

Normally I don’t write reviews but this time I really feel like I should write it. I bought package from Bali included driver from Bali to ferry, someone who will take care of me on ferry Bali to Java, driver on Java, guide on Mt Ijen and breakfast. Driver who took me 4 hours from Ubud to Bali and back was lovely polite guy, he was on time both ways, I wish all good to him. Then some lady took me on ferry from Bali to Java at night time, on ferry there was a lot of men who kept harasing me, taking pictures and video of me, getting close to me, I felt the worst I felt during my two months in indonesia, the lady was sitting in front of me and she could hear everything but she was pretending like nothing is going on. When we arrived to Java new driver picked me up and we went to pick up other 10 people from hostels in Java to mt Ijen, all good, he was sometimes confused where to pick up people but I can totaly understand it can happen, soon we arrived to Mt Ijen base camp. We got our guide Suki who should be our guide to Mt Ijen, but he didn’t care at all. He was explaing important things about gas masks when some people were in toilet (he knew they were on toilet), he kept saying what is not his responsibilies and soon we start to hike. From the begining he push very very fast tempo, I am in very good shape and I couldn‘t catch them. Imagine hundreds of people climbing same way and your guide starts almost running, me and some other people got totaly lost. Yes of course there is milion people so you know which way you should go, but you could see others guides making sure that they have all of theirs people from their group, taking breaks, taking care of them, but not our guide, he was just running like we are in some race, then we havent seen him for realy long time. We met him only in crater where he pushed us to take picktures with blue flame and than we saw him again on the top of the mountain when he pushed us again to take pictures. During all track we have no idea when to put masks on or not, because we dont have our guide, it was very stresfull. Since I arrived to indonesia I was suprised how awesome and caring these tour guids are, but not this one. I had breakfast inclued- they gave me noodles and chicken, I am vegetarian so I couldn’t eat it, again it can happen, no bad feelings about it. Just info for vegetarian to bring your own food. Overall organisation good, drivers good, Mt Ijen guide and ''ferry lady'' horrible. Mt Ijen is beautiful and everybody should do it one time. Trekking poles cost 25 000/per one, glasess 25 000/ per one, before you start you can use toiletes for 5 000, and buy some tea, coffee, food. Hike is not easy but I would say it is also not so difficult as some people say, if you are used to do hikes no worries. If you are not uses to hike it can be difficult espesialy part when you go down to see blue fire, you can also take ‚‘taxi‘ and they can také you on the top of vulcano.

We really enjoyed our trip to Ijen - it was a once in a lifetime experience. Going with Como Bali Tour from Bali was by far the most efficient and cost effective way to do this. It was very well organised, communication before hand was great. We were picked up from our hotel at 6pm (would recommend this over 7pm as the traffic can be quite bad and we were tight on time getting to our ferry), travelled across to Ijen and trekked from around 2am to see the blue flame and then sunrise over the lake, before travelling back to our hotel (arriving around 4pm the next day). Our guide Goon was brilliant - so knowledgeable and supportive. The other members of the team (drivers etc) were also lovely. I am really glad we went but there were a few things we weren't prepared for (nothing to do with Como Bali Tour group) that I wish I'd know before we went. Anyone with average fitness and a decent pair of shoes will manage the trek fine but its super busy (even in low season) and there are quite a few tourists in ridiculous footwear (including flip-flops) who really struggled with the rocky path particularly descending into the crater. People are prepared to get really close to the flames and its a bit of a bottleneck as the crowds accumulate in the crater, that gets increasingly frenzied as the sun starts to come up and the chance of seeing blue flames diminishes. It feels a bit unsafe at times - you can take measures to mitigate this by bringing a decent pair of trainers and not getting swept up in the rush. Despite all of this we are glad we went and had a totally unique experience.

The views were amazing, and totally worth the early mornings! Our driver Kadek was awesome and always got us where we needed to be on time and safely! Our guide Hamid at Ijen was super fun and made sure we got to see the fire on time as well as the sunrise!
