Banyuwangi Things to Do: Beyond the Midnight Ijen Dash

Mount Ijen isn’t for everyone. It’s a bit crowded for us. But the electric-blue flames and dramatic crater lake are really gorgeous, and visiting with a responsible guide helps support local sulphur miners.

My friend and I booked on the tour for collection from Seminyak and what a 23 hour adventure we had! Was certainly an epic journey but well worth the effort. 

Our guide as amazing, very focused on ensuring good pace whilst climbing and keeping us safe throughout the crater walk and then back down the mountain. He also ensured we had amazing photo's and video's of our adventure.

Highly recommend!

I had a very pleasant trip with Bromo Vacation. It started with proactive communication prior to the trip to prepare entry tickets in advance and recommended packing items. My guide for the trip was Melati, who went above and beyond in her consideration of my comfort and check-ins about how I was feeling about certain activities. She clearly commented time expectations for the various activities and driving between places. And her bubbly personality is the cherry on top! Sigit also did an effective job of transporting us between locations. If you're keen to visit Mt. Bromo, Ijen, and Tumpak Sewu, then this is an excellent tour option.

We met with local people who were incredibly friendly. Our driver Gnud ( if I spell that right) was really good. He brought us over long distances rapidly.
 He also managed to get us the best spots on King Kong, the viewpoint to watch the Bromo sunrise.
 On Kawa Ijen our tourguide Zai was young but spoke english well and was very interested and funny. 
 We were well fed the entire time. The food might have been a bit a bit more simple then at the bottom of the volcanos, but you have to realize the have to bring everything up there. And there are still plenty of warongs where you can eat more.
 Overall our experience was great!

The experience went very well. It was the middle of July, so there were huge crowds along the route to Kawah Ijen… but luckily we had amazing tour guides. Everything was organized for us, from our departure in Bali through the ferry crossing all the way to the volcano trek. 

Our guide was Zai, a remarkable young man who will undoubtedly be able to say “hello” in your language! Even when things get scary, he holds your hand and helps you get past your fear! Without him, we never would have been able to see the blue flames. He has tips for everything! A huge thank you to him.

Very pleased with this experience from start to end! Our guide Arya, was very friendly, tentative and good at his job. We also had great photos taken by Arya that we could post!

Overall, the tour was very well organized, with great communication and zero issues.

My husband and I did this trip as part of our honeymoon and both agreed it was the highlight of our three weeks in Indonesia. Our guide Riza was amazing, extremely knowledgeable about Indonesian history, science and customs. He took the time to explain everything at each location we visited, was very prepared for each summit and brought us to some great spots for meals along the way. At Ijen the guide he partnered with was great and made sure we had a safe trip and a great spot for sunrise. We did not have time for tumpak sewu on our trip so we added in madikapura waterfall which was absolutely stunning, an easy hike and no big crowds. Since we had the waterfall planned same day as bromo we did the hike to sunrise view at bromo rather than taking the jeep up. Even if you are not adding the waterfall I think this was a great option as it avoided the hours of jeep traffic that takes you a bit out of the nature experience and allowed us to make it to the crater before most of the crowds. We even got to see the volcanic desert frozen due to our earlier arrival time at the base of the mountain! Overall one of the best travel experiences we have ever had as well as some of the best guides. Highly highly recommend!
