Thanks to Fauzi and Fredy we had a very good time even though ijen was closed due to unexpected circumstances but they able to arrange and customise the trip for us. Both of them are very friendly, hardworking and committed to their job with full of passion which make our trip wonderful. They deserve a raise and praise.

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!

Το 4ήμερο/3νύχτο ταξίδι μας στο Bromo, στο Ijen Blue Flame και στον καταρράκτη Tumpak Sewu ήταν απολύτως τέλειο! Τα καταλύματα που είχαν κανονιστεί ήταν εξαιρετικά και πολύ άνετα, επιτρέποντάς μας να ξεκουραστούμε υπέροχα μετά από κάθε σωματικά απαιτητική μέρα. Θέλουμε να ευχαριστήσουμε ιδιαίτερα τον οδηγό μας Anam και τον οδηγό μας. Ο οδηγός οδήγησε τόσο ομαλά που μπορούσαμε να ξεκουραστούμε άνετα κατά τη διάρκεια των μεγάλων διαδρομών. Ο οδηγός μας Anam ήταν απίστευτα επαγγελματίας και αφοσιωμένος. Μας εισήγαγε βαθιά στην τοπική ιαβανέζικη κουλτούρα και ιστορία καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια του ταξιδιού, δίνοντάς μας μια πολύ πλουσιότερη κατανόηση των τόπων που επισκεφτήκαμε. Είτε μας καθοδηγούσε στην πεζοπορία τα μεσάνυχτα για να δούμε το Ijen Blue Flame είτε εξερευνώντας τον καταρράκτη, ο Anam έδινε πάντα προτεραιότητα στην ασφάλειά μας. Επιπλέον, είναι ένας καταπληκτικός φωτογράφος! Μας βοήθησε να βγάλουμε τόσες πολλές εκπληκτικές φωτογραφίες, δημιουργώντας αξέχαστες αναμνήσεις. Συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα αυτή την ομάδα, μια εμπειρία 5 αστέρων!

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! ❤️

transport options: Our driver Dosi was very friendly and made our transfer to each location very smooth. itinerary: Prepare for irregular sleeping hours as we needed to wake up at 12am to drive to the location for sunrise. But it was worth it. tour guide: Each attraction had its guide. Shout out to our waterfall guide, Edi. He went above and beyond by constantly helping us take instagrammable photos and videos even though we didn't ask. At the end of the attraction, he even helped us to compile it into a ready to post video and sent us all 100+ photos and videos. attractions: Not for the faint of heart. There were steep hikes involved and was more adventurous than we had expected. Definitely watch some YouTube vlogs to get a sense of the fitness level required. accomodation options: Fluctuating quality. One of them was amazing as it was a business hotel. The other 2 had a good outside view of nature but also had bugs (which probably can't be helped since it's near nature)

This volcano and waterfall tour was absolutely worth it. Thank you, Dasi and Nandu, for giving us such pleasant memories. I strongly advise everyone to visit the waterfall, and it's crucial to hire a guide – it's a matter of life and death, so definitely get one!
