Itinerary
PICK UP - IJEN CRATER BLUE FIRE TOUR
The Ijen tour from Banyuwangi will begin around 12:30 AM. Our staff will pick you up from hotel, villa, Ferry port, or Train station in the Banyuwangi area. The journey will continue to Paltuding (the starting point), approximately one hour from downtown Banyuwangi.
The hike will begin at 2:00 AM. From here, it will take you 1.5 hours to climb the slopes of the Ijen Crater (a trail approximately 3.5 km long). Along the trail, you'll enjoy stunning natural scenery, fresh air, and the sound of birdsong.
Upon arrival, you'll reach the summit of the Ijen Crater, at an altitude of approximately 2,385 meters above sea level.
If you want to see the blue fire phenomenon, continue your journey to the crater floor. This journey takes approximately 30 minutes, with slightly dangerous terrain, as the trail is full of rocks and sand, making it a bit slippery. Once you reach the sulfur area, you'll be treated to the beauty of the blue fire. (Blue fire is a unique natural phenomenon caused by the combustion of sulfur gas emitted from the crater of Mount Ijen, and is naturally occurring.)
Please note that the descent to the crater floor and the descent to the lake are not equipped with safe equipment for both descent and ascent. We strongly advise against attempting this descent. Otherwise, the tour organizers are not responsible for any potential consequences.
After enjoying the beauty of the blue fire, continue climbing to return to the peak.
In the morning, around 5:00 AM, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking panorama of the Ijen Crater, featuring an acidic lake with turquoise water. The view is especially beautiful if you take photos above the crater. Beyond the scenery, you'll also see sulfur miners descending into the crater to extract yellow sulfur rocks and ascending back up along a treacherous path along the edge of the crater, carrying loads weighing 40-70 kilograms. This is dangerous and difficult work.
After enjoying the breathtaking views of the Ijen Crater, we'll descend to the parking area.
Before returning to your hotel/villa, if you'd like breakfast, our guide can take you to a nearby restaurant.
