Things to do in Ijen

Can not say enough about our tour guide and driver. Dhani and his buddy are very professional, energetic, and go above and beyond on making your tour the best. First hotel was good, was only for a night. Waterfall well worth the money and experience. Dhani got us there early and had the whole waterfall to ourself. There is lots driving. Second night homestay is a hidden jem. Would love to stay there more nights. There is no blue flame anymore due to landslide. Wish they would have told us that up front. Because sunrise and volcano is not worth it. Would have spent more time inland at more waterfalls. The tour was very organized and well worth the money overall. I would definitely do different tours with this company. Just without the blue flames, volcano tour would be better in the day.

Yanto our guide, as well as our drivers Hendra and Dewa were fantastic!! They spoke fantastic english and were very enthusiastic, maybe the experience wonderful. Yanto was very proactive in helping us climb Ijen, helping us over some harder terrains and even finding the blue fire for us when he didn’t even have a gas mask himself, and he bought fried banana and tauhu isi for us with his own money! The drivers were fantastic as well, they drove safely, stopping when we needed a toilet break/lunch break, and there was no smoking in the car at all which was a huge plus for me. overall fantastic experience and we couldn’t thank the locals more

​I recently took the 1N2D Bromo and Ijen tour, and it was absolutely incredible, largely thanks to our guide, Mr. Nabil. From the very beginning, his communication via WhatsApp was clear, prompt, and reassuring. ​He managed the tight schedule perfectly so we could experience both the stunning Bromo sunrise and the unique Ijen volcanic landscape without missing a beat. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and always prioritized our safety and comfort throughout the challenging treks. If you are planning to visit Bromo and Ijen, I highly recommend booking with Mr. Nabil!

I had a wonderful hiking day trip experience. Our guide was extremely patient, passionate, and friendly throughout the entire journey. He took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure everyone was comfortable, and always encouraged us along the way. His positive attitude and enthusiasm made the hike even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable outdoor adventure. Thank you for such a great experience! instructor: Yanto

Our 4D3N trip to Bromo, Ijen Blue Flame, and Tumpak Sewu Waterfall was absolutely perfect! The accommodations arranged were excellent and very comfortable, allowing us to get great rest after each physically demanding day. ​We especially want to thank our guide Anam and our driver. The driver drove so smoothly that we could rest comfortably during the long drives. Our guide Anam was incredibly professional and dedicated; he deeply introduced us to the local Javanese culture and history along the way, giving us a much richer understanding of the places we visited. ​Whether guiding us through the midnight hike to see the Ijen Blue Flame or exploring the waterfall, Anam always prioritized our safety. On top of that, he is an amazing photographer! He helped us take so many stunning photos, creating unforgettable memories. Highly recommend this team, 5-star experience!

The crater and the view of everything as the sun rises were worth the hike and price. The hike was challenging as it had a lot of incline so better to practice/do cardio before the hike. IA trek pole helps. t's really cold at the restaurant/waiting place near the gate of the trail so bring thermal jackets, and a bonnet since it's windy/cold during the hike. The package includes breakfast so you can order and eat at the restaurant after the hike. Gas mask and headlamp were provided. Thank you to our friendly guide/photographer Kin of Banyuwangi Moment for telling us about options for the hike and bringing us to nice spots. We also had fun with the language exchange! All the best to you!😁

The itinerary was very fulfilling and offered excellent value for money. Our tour guide, Dosi, was professional and very friendly. The guides at other attractions also had superb photography skills, which was a pleasant surprise. The trip was perfect! Highly recommended!
