About This Experience

Activity information

Duration: 1 day | Private tour

Your driver will pick you up at your hotel in Bali and take you across the Bali Strait by ferry to East Java. After arriving, you'll check in at a villa where dinner and a night of rest will prepare you for the hike.

Before dawn, you'll begin your guided walk under the stars, with a headlamp and gas mask provided for safety. As you reach the crater of Kawah Ijen, you'll see the rare natural phenomenon of the blue fire glowing in the darkness — a moment found in very few places on Earth.

When daylight arrives, the scenery changes completely. The turquoise sulfur lake appears in contrast to the volcanic cliffs, while you'll also have the chance to observe the work of the local sulfur miners, who bring a human perspective to this extraordinary environment.

With transport, ferry, accommodation, meals, and guiding all included, the journey is smooth and well taken care of — letting you focus fully on the experience itself.
