Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park

After an early wake-up around 3:30 AM, you'll head off in a 4x4 jeep for the ascent of Mount Bromo (active volcano, 2300 m). You’ll hike a narrow, winding path with 250 steps up to the summit. At the top, take in the breathtaking view of the smoking crater as the first light of day appears – a magical, unforgettable moment. The sunrise over Bromo, surrounded by Batok (extinct, 2400 m) and Semeru (active, 3677 m – Java’s highest volcano), is a stunning sight. After sunrise, cross the "Sea of Sand," a landscape of dust and volcanic ash from past eruptions. Then head to Seruni viewpoint, a quiet spot with panoramic views of the Tengger massif. After a well-deserved breakfast, your journey continues through scenic villages and plantations (coffee, tobacco, rice, etc.) toward Kawah Ijen, with a local lunch along the way. You’ll stay in a comfortable guesthouse near the volcano, where a traditional Javanese dinner awaits to end your day.

Ijen Crater Indonesia

Departure is set for 1:00 AM to reach base camp at 1900 meters. After safety instructions and gear (lamps, gas masks, etc.), you’ll start a 1.5-hour hike with our experienced team along a scenic mountain path under the stars, reaching Kawah Ijen’s summit at 2300 meters. The most spectacular part begins here: in total darkness, descend into the active crater to witness a rare natural wonder—blue flames. Our guides, former miners and sulfur porters, assist you during the descent, ensuring your safety throughout this volcanic experience. At sunrise, discover the world’s largest acid lake—an unforgettable sight. While admiring its turquoise waters, you’ll witness the strength of sulfur workers carrying heavy loads up the crater. After returning to base camp and the guesthouse, enjoy a homemade breakfast from a local Javanese family and a well-earned shower before heading back to Bali. After the ferry crossing, drop-off is available in Pemuteran, Munduk, Ubud, or Seminyak.

We did the Mt. Bromo and Kawah Ijen tour, starting from Yogyakarta and ending in Bali. The tour includes transportation, accommodation, equipment and food. The staff is really nice at every location, and we also had some really tasty local food! We were picked up at the train station by our tour guide Sahal and the driver Dedi, who were very helpful and took us everywhere, till Bali. Thank you guys! The first tour stop was at a characteristic village near Mt. Bromo, very peaceful and far from the noise, where we met our nice local guide Fano. Thanks to him, we avoided the crowd and found the best stop at the top of the volcano where we enjoyed the sunrise and the breathtaking view! Then, we moved towards our next destination, Kawah Ijen, where we admired the blue flames and the world’s largest, acidic crater lake. The early wake up call and the challenging hiking are totally worthy! For this reason, a special thanks goes to our amazing guides Harry, Pur and Fawas! Really appreciate you guys! Without them the experience wouldn’t be the same. They know exactly what they are doing to make everything easier and comfortable, they always find ways to avoid crowded spots and to find the best ones! So what else to say if not that I totally recommend it!

It has been an amazing experience!!! I recommend it if or if. Exceptional treatment from all the guides, especially Sahal and Reza, who accompanied us during the three days, such as Harry, the guide who accompanied us in Kawah Ijen, very watchful of the whole group throughout the journey. Also the experience of seeing two active volcanoes is impressive.
