Banyuwangi

an amazing experience!! our guide ruly was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. he went out of his way to make our time super fun :)) local guides eggy (bromo) & silo (ijen) were also great!! we caught an beautiful view over bromo and ijen~

El nostre guia Yanto, així com els nostres conductors Hendra i Dewa, van ser fantàstics! Parlaven un anglès excel·lent i eren molt entusiastes, cosa que va fer que l'experiència fos meravellosa. Yanto va ser molt proactiu ajudant-nos a pujar a Ijen, assistint-nos en alguns terrenys més difícils i fins i tot trobant el foc blau per a nosaltres quan ell mateix ni tan sols tenia una màscara de gas, i ens va comprar plàtan fregit i tauhu isi amb els seus propis diners! Els conductors també van ser fantàstics, van conduir amb seguretat, parant quan necessitàvem una pausa per anar al lavabo/dinar, i no es va fumar gens al cotxe, cosa que va ser un gran avantatge per a mi. En general, una experiència fantàstica i no podríem agrair més als locals.

We booked a package with JVTO via Klook for our 3D2N adventure trip. Shoutout to Fredy and Fauzi for always accommodating to us; from entertaining our nonsense/requests and also for always making us break into laughter with their fresh set of jokes. We are really grateful and thankful to have them as our guide and driver. They make this trip a really stress- free, enjoyable and a memorable one. We would like to also express our biggest appreciation for always being patient with us especially during the hike. May God bless yall!🤍

The driver will pick you up at your hotel in a five-seater sedan. In mid-April, the temperature at Ijen Volcano in the early morning is around 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). You can wear a short-sleeved shirt and a light, warm jacket. The mountain road is steep, and you'll likely sweat a lot during the climb. You can take breaks in stages, depending on your stamina. From the entrance at 1,800 meters (5,905 feet) above sea level, you'll ascend to the summit at 2,300 meters (7,546 feet). There may be an occasional pungent sulfur smell; you can choose whether to rent a gas mask before departing. The sunrise and sea of clouds are incredibly beautiful. However, since the sulfur minerals are owned by an energy company, and workers are employed to mine and extinguish fires, you won't be able to see large areas of blue flame. Nevertheless, the burning sulfur is an unprecedented and stunning sight. We recommend arranging this trip separately from Mount Bromo, allowing for rest before continuing. A two-day/one-night or three-day/two-night trip involves a significant physical load.

if you think about IJen, you should stop thinking and doing:)! it’s very nice place and view. the blue lava is nog so big but still nice to see. also the hike was heavy but with every strength you can do this. there are 5 checkpoint where you can take a break.

fantastic experience with Blue Shark Adventures! huge amount of ground covered within a short amount of time. was a great insight into Java! Thank you Ruly and all other drivers! highly recommend!

Our three-day, two-night East Java volcano tour truly exceeded our family's expectations! We learned after booking that the Ijen crater was closed. The travel agency not only promptly informed us but also actively helped us adjust our itinerary, even adding the Madakaripura Waterfall, which turned out to be the most surprising and memorable part of our trip. The three-day, two-night private tour was absolutely worth it! We had a dedicated guide and driver with us the entire time. Our guide, Jiaxin, is a native Indonesian but speaks fluent Chinese, so communication was seamless. Along the way, he shared many stories about the volcanoes, culture, and local life, and he also took excellent care of our family of four. During the trip, my husband, who suffers from severe sleep apnea, had a very strong reaction to the high altitude. Jiaxin meticulously looked after him, especially during the climb up Mount Ijen, where he accompanied and supported him almost the entire way. This allowed me to focus on caring for our two children without having to juggle responsibilities between family members. His attentiveness and sense of responsibility truly touched us. (And we even saw the beautiful artificial blue fire at the volcano!) Throughout the journey, Jiaxin also adjusted the pace according to our family's condition, arranging timely breaks, helping us take photos, and recommending local delicacies, making the entire trip very relaxed and comfortable. At Mount Bromo, when we were delayed and missed breakfast, he quietly arranged for the hotel to save meal boxes for us, so we had food waiting as soon as we returned to the hotel – truly thoughtful. I must also commend our driver, Agus Botak. Every day involved long drives of over four hours, often on winding mountain roads in East Java, and sometimes even starting in the early morning. Yet, he was always energetic and drove smoothly, allowing us to rest comfortably in the car. For families traveling with children, a safe and reliable driver is incredibly important. What touched us most was that they didn't treat this job as a routine task; they genuinely cared for every traveler. These three days brought us not only beautiful scenery but also heartwarming human connection. This was the best travel experience I've had in Southeast Asia to date, which is why I'm writing this review so earnestly, hoping it can serve as a reference for others. From the travel agency's arrangements and the guide's professionalism to the driver's attentiveness, they left me with a wonderful impression of Indonesia. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. I also want to add that the cost of this private tour includes one meal, local guides for Madakaripura Waterfall and Ijen Volcano, all entrance fees, and necessary equipment, so there's no need to worry about additional expenses – it's truly worth it! ❤️

Opcions de transport: El nostre conductor Dosi va ser molt amable i va fer que el nostre trasllat a cada lloc fos molt fluid. Itinerari: Prepareu-vos per a hores de son irregulars, ja que havíem de despertar-nos a les 12 de la nit per anar al lloc per veure la sortida del sol. Però va valdre la pena. Guia turístic: Cada atracció tenia el seu guia. Un agraïment especial al nostre guia de la cascada, Edi. Va anar més enllà del que s'esperava, ajudant-nos constantment a fer fotos i vídeos dignes d'Instagram, tot i que no ho vam demanar. Al final de l'atracció, fins i tot ens va ajudar a compilar-ho en un vídeo llest per publicar i ens va enviar més de 100 fotos i vídeos. Atraccions: No aptes per a persones amb poca resistència. Hi havia caminades empinades i va ser més aventurer del que havíem esperat. Definitivament, mireu alguns vlogs de YouTube per fer-vos una idea del nivell de forma física requerit. Opcions d'allotjament: Qualitat fluctuant. Un d'ells era increïble, ja que era un hotel de negocis. Els altres 2 tenien una bona vista exterior de la natura, però també tenien insectes (cosa que probablement no es pot evitar, ja que està a prop de la natura).

El nostre viatge de 4 dies i 3 nits a Bromo, Ijen Blue Flame i la cascada Tumpak Sewu va ser absolutament perfecte! Els allotjaments organitzats eren excel·lents i molt còmodes, cosa que ens va permetre descansar molt bé després de cada dia físicament exigent. Volem agrair especialment al nostre guia Anam i al nostre conductor. El conductor va conduir amb tanta suavitat que vam poder descansar còmodament durant els llargs trajectes. El nostre guia Anam va ser increïblement professional i dedicat; ens va introduir profundament en la cultura i la història javanesa local al llarg del camí, donant-nos una comprensió molt més rica dels llocs que vam visitar. Ja sigui guiant-nos per la caminada de mitjanit per veure la flama blava d'Ijen o explorant la cascada, Anam sempre va prioritzar la nostra seguretat. A més, és un fotògraf increïble! Ens va ajudar a fer moltes fotos impressionants, creant records inoblidables. Recomanem molt aquest equip, una experiència de 5 estrelles!
