Many people fly to Bali to enjoy its beautiful beaches and to unwind. However, if you are a more adventurous visitor, it also has several exciting sights, one of which is Ijen! It's a volcano complex that creates hypnotic blue flames from ignited sulfuric gas that seeps through its fractures. You can join this activity with us for a hassle-free hiking at Ijen, and we will have everything ready for you! You will be picked up from your accommodation, escorted by an expert trekking guide, and all payments and permissions will be taken care of! All you have to do is pack your personal gear and meals and prepare to be amazed by the blue fires once you arrive to the crater! A brief break at a local coffee farm is also included, allowing you to recover and unwind before returning home.

This experience was absolutely profound! The blue fames were very surreal and the sunrise afterward was majestic! Our hiking tour guide was very friendly and accommodating being I had Bali belly from Denpasar, starting to kick my butt during the hike and we had to leave early. Our driver Gusty made the travel there and back a very fun experience for the my partner and I. When he drove us back he knew I was really suffering from Bali belly and truly cared about me and got me home swiftly and safely. You would be lucky to have him as your tour driver :)

We had a great experience on this tour. One of the reasons we chose this option is that it leaves earlier but includes a homestay near the start of the hike so that you can sleep before getting started on your climb. Other tours left Bali in the evening and you hike right after arriving. The homestay was just what we needed and we had a good 5 hours of rest before heading to the trailhead. That extra sleep was valuable for us.
We chose to leave at 11am and do the temple and photo stop. We were ambivalent about those, so you might just want to choose to leave at 2pm and skip those stops.
The hike for us middle aged folks was intense but doable. The trail up to the crater is wide and well kept but STEEP. We went at our own pace and our guide, Sherly, was cool with that. The only downside of going slowly was when we got down to the crater to see the blue flames it was a bit crowded. We then hiked up to see the sunrise and it was stunning... Even more than the blue flames. Shirley got some great photos of us and shared them.
Forehead lights and masks are included, but we paid 50,000 each at the supply station to rent hiking poles too. Our driver, Heru, was a great gentleman and got us there safely and cautiously. This excursion was definitely worth it!

The best money you could ever spen in Indonesia, you don't have to worry anything, they will pick you up with a private car which only carries your group (even only one person). Drive you to the hotel (near the volcano), you can eat and sleep for some time, then star to hike. The driver and the guide are really nice, are willing to talk and make you feel wellcom. Meanwhile, the guide will take you lots of photos and videos, it's a very good service, so you could keep the memories.

Fantastic trip! We booked this not realising it was a private tour - what a treat! Everything was perfectly organised. Thank you so much Gusti who made 2 solo female travellers feel safe at all times. Fantastic guide at Ijen aswell. Can’t recommend enough!

We had an incredible experience with our driver, Gusti. He was warm and welcoming when he picked us up, had waters for us in the vehicle & really knew the way around Bali! Gusti honestly made our trip to Mt Ijen 10/10. The hike to Mt. Ijen was beautiful, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Seeing the blue flame was an unforgettable experience. It wouldn’t have been the same without our driver :) Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience.

We had an amazing 5 day trip in Indonesia. We started in Surabaya & end in Bail with a very reasonable price. We visited Rainbow village, waterfall,Mt.Bromo ,Mt.Ijen & Bali. It definitely a very long way. Our guide (the driver) Gusti is very helpful , patient & friendly. His driving skill & manner is excellent which is very important specially in Java Indonesia where is mainly hillly/narrow country road. My favorite part of the trip was Mt Ijen Gusti sent us to the starting point at 2pm. After about 2 hrs walk we reached the place where could see the biggest blue fire in the world. No words can describe how amazing it is. We saw the beauty & mystery of nature. Travellers should have this experience once in their life. I highly recommend you to visit Mt. Ijen & Java as well as our best guide/ driver Mr.Gusti. By the way I would like to express my gratitude to Gusti who brought us a most memorable trip.

We are so happy we booked this trip with Mr Gusti our wonderful driver and Rahim our great guide on the mountain!
We are visiting Bali for a relaxing vacation but wanted to see the famous blue fire for a bit of extra adventure - this is the way to do it! A full two day trip with everything organised and taken care of for us.
Gusti took us to many awesome places in North Bali on the way to and from Ijen that we never would have thought to visit otherwise. We thought we were stopping for a quick coffee but it was actually an amazing food forest for harvesting tea, spices and coffee - we even got to try the famous Luak cat-poo-cino!
He is a great guide and knows all the good spots for photos and views, and a great photographer to boot.
The homestay was humble but absolutely beautiful with great dinner and breakfast.
The hike itself is a bit tough but should be completely fine if you have hiking experience. The first part is quite steep but on a good wide path and lots of places to stop for rest. Descent into the crater is rocky and a bit difficult but Rahim made sure we were safe and ok the whole time and even took us on a shortcut around the crowd. They provided torches gas masks and goggles which are a must as you approach the sulfur. The fire is worth every second as is the sunrise views of the crater and neighbouring volcanoes!!
Highly recommend booking this tour! Worth every minute and every cent. Thanks so much Gusti and Rahim!!!
