Mount Bromo is very special with the spectacular sunrise panorama. Landscape of Mount Bromo, Mount Batok, and Mount Semeru that stand side by side at Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Mount Ijen is about 200km further east and involves a night hike up. Once you make it into the volcano, you will see the blue flames (only visible before sunrise) and see the most acidic lake in the world. You will meet the miners, they are the strong local villagers who work at night to collect sulfur using very low safety gear standard. They risk themselves carrying 60-80 kilograms of sulfur down the mountain twice a day and the income they get depends on how many kilograms of sulfur they can bring down. After the sunrise, Ijen Crater turns into a fantastic volcano that you will always remember. The acidic turquoise lake, the truly exotic volcanic rugged cliffs, the smoke of sulfur, and the ambitious miners, all these combinations may make you more grateful for your life.

Blue fire on the day of your trip can't be guaranteed as they are subject to unpredictable weather conditions and if due to massive sulphur clouds it is too dangerous on that day to go down to the crater! you have to respect it for your own safety.
If this activity occurs then authorities will close the trail going to the Blue Flame but travelers still have opportunity to enjoy the landscape from Ijen's rim of crater. Or if the volcanic activities turn the toxicity of gas into a level of danger, then the authorities will close the entire site for safety reasons. Visiting Mount Ijen/Blue flame means you need to be ready for nature’s unpredictability.
we can't guarantee that the sunrise at Bromo will be spectacular, because the weather and natural conditions can't be predicted

Wow, what a once in a lifetime experience. Do not hesitate to book this trip unless you are unable to hike. The mornings started very early, but it was extremely worth it to see the breathtaking views, and especially the blue magma. Of course, not everybody will get lucky with the weather, but we did and it was a spectacular trip. Harry (Heri), our guide, was a wonderful guide, super friendly, and extremely informative. He did not feel like he needed to constantly interject during silent times, but was very thorough and helpful during the entire trip. I would Recommend this trip to anyone who is able to hike, especially at high altitudes. Ideally, you will want to leave earliest in the morning, to be the first ones at the site, otherwise it will be too crowded, and you may miss the blue magma. Harry did Great choosing which times we should leave, Even though it felt early in the moment, it was well worth it. I seriously would not think twice, and take this tour again. It was really nice to have a private, and a private vehicle for the entire three days. They also put you up in some pretty nice hotels as well, with breakfast included. The company is very thorough with their directions, and at the end of the trip even offer a person to take you on the ferry back to Bali, And then a driver to take you wherever you need to go on the island. The Bali airport is about 4 hours Away from the ferry port, so beware that you will not be taking a ferry close to downtown Bali, but towards the northwest. It is super convenient though, because they provide a Driver that will take you directly to your hotel. Great tour and great company. Felt safe, secure, and like they were always looking out for our best interests. Don’t hesitate to book, definitely something you want to do if you are in the area and have time.
