Hike and see the "blue flames" in Ijen!
Observe the ‘blue flames’ of Ijen Crater during a guided trek on Mt Ijen.Witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon in the darkness and later be treated to superb panoramic views from the rim of the Ijen Crater.You will get picked up from your hotel in Bali, it will take at least 4 hour drive to Gilimanuk Port (depends on your exact pick up location in Bali) then you will head to Mt Ijen.It takes about 2-3 hrs to reach the top of Mt Ijen at 2,386m. From there you will see only a few head torches in the crater below and will be able to make out the small patch of blue lava. After another 40 minutes and 800m down the slippy, gravel path you will arrive to the strong smelling sulphur. Here you will be able to observe the blue flames as sulphur is being flared.You will make your way back to the top just in time for sunrise. The sky here is particularly beautiful as the sun comes up turning various shades of pink. Once in day light you will be able to observe the crater from the rim as well as see a spectacularly turquoise crater lake.Do note, that this is still a working mine. As you go into the crater you will see miners going up and down with heavy loads of sulphur chunks. Be mindful of the tough work they are doing and allow them to pass.Health and Safety NotesHighly recommended to wear long pants, sports shoes, a sweater (sweatshirt or jumper) , gloves and hatNot recommended for participants with back problems, heart complaints, asthma or other serious medical conditionsNot recommended for pregnant womenNot wheelchair accessiblePlease note a medical certificate from a local clinic is required to climb Mt Ijen.
