Things to do in Ijen

We did the 3-day Tumpak Sewu – Bromo – Ijen tour and it was honestly the best experiences of our trip. Everything was well organized and smooth. Special thank you to our driver Fauzi, the sweetest and best driver ever. So kind, patient, caring, and always making sure we were safe and comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to travel with. At each spot, the guides were great, but special mention to Herytio and Nanang at Ijen, who really helped my friend when she was struggling during the hike. They were so reassuring and supportive, and we are truly grateful. Amazing views, beautiful moments, and people who genuinely care. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our Bromo trip and our tour guide, Riza, made it even better! He provided everything we needed — thermal blanket, heat pack, waterproof phone case — you name it! Super attentive, friendly, and fun, always checking if we were comfortable and helping us get the best photos and viewpoints. The restaurant that we’re taken also serve the best food. The sunrise was beautiful, the journey was smooth, and we felt well taken care of from start to finish. Thank you Riza for the great memories! 🤩✨ Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely fantastic Mount Ijen experience thanks to our amazing guide and drivers! Huge thanks to Yanto, our guide, who went above and beyond, friendly, patient, and caring throughout. The climb was tough, but he made it easier with his constant support and positive energy. He guided us safely down to see the blue fire, checked on us often, and kept our spirits high with his cheerful chats. Whenever we needed help taking photos or videos, he was more than willing, capturing our best memories with a smile. We felt so lucky to have gotten Yanto as our guide. His kindness and dedication truly made our trip special. We also want to thank our drivers, Arimbawa and Tony, for their safe driving, punctuality, and warm hospitality. They made our journey smooth and comfortable from start to finish. To Yanto, Arimbawa, and Tony, thank you for making our trip truly memorable for both of us. ❤️ Here are some beautiful photos Yanto helped us take, plus a few lovely shots with him!

I had the opportunity to join a tour covering Mount Bromo, Mount Ijen and Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our guide, Bella, was outstanding Throughout the journey, Bella demonstrated excellent professionalism, deep local knowledge and a genuine passion for her work. She was always attentive to our needs, ensuring that every detail from transportation to timing. Her thoughtful planning allowed us to witness the breathtaking sunrise at Mount Bromo to exploring the mesmerizing blue fire of Mount Ijen and admiring the stunning Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. Beyond her professionalism, Bella’s friendly personality and positive attitude made the entire trip even more enjoyable. She shared valuable insights about local culture, nature, and traditions, which added great depth to the overall experience. I highly recommend this tour and strongly encourage requesting Bella as your guide. Her expertise and enthusiasm truly made it an unforgettable journey.

Yanto was the guide for our trek and let me tell you he is the best guide anyone can wish for! He’s very helpful, very kind and was very compassionate and cooperative throughout the trek. His enthusiasm was amazing throughout the trek!! great going Yanto so excited to see you again. he also clicks great pictures.

Bromo, Ijen, and the waterfalls are magnificent. The itinerary followed the program, and the local guides were good. The accommodations along the way were decent. The trip is very good for its price.

Everything was wonderful! They picked us up from Kuta and made sure we could return to Lovina after the tour. The same van and driver (Lexza) took us from Kuta to Gilimanuk and then from Gilimanuk to Lovina, so we were able to leave our luggage without any issues and travel comfortably from hotel to hotel. The smooth ride allowed me to even catch a nap during the tiring journey. The driver who drove us from Gilimanuk to Ijen was also excellent. Before you start hiking at the entrance to Ijen, be sure to try the warm cappuccino. It's unbelievably delicious. It was the best instant coffee I've ever had. Yanto, our guide at Ijen, was truly the best. He constantly checked on us, waited for us, and encouraged us ㅠㅠ. I was struggling so much that I thought I wouldn't be able to make it to the top, but he continuously took care of me, so I was able to arrive on time! If you are worried about the hike, there is a "Lamborghini" service available, so if you bring enough money, you can get to the top comfortably. Even when we got to the top, there were so many people that we might not have been able to see the blue fire, but Yanto guided us skillfully through the crowds so we could see it. He also showed us good photo spots and even went to dangerous places to take pictures for us. My phone died in the middle, but he kindly lent me his phone so I could take lots of pictures without worry. The photos turned out great because it was an iPhone! He also guided us to many great photo spots and took videos with amazing skills, just like Reels. If you like that kind of thing, it's really the best! I enjoyed the best itinerary with the best guides. I will never forget the blue fire, but the scenery after sunrise is truly amazing. It was so, so, so great to see two different views: the blue fire in the dark and, after sunrise, the emerald lake and yellow rocks, and the magnificent rocky mountains. Thank you so much for creating such precious memories that I will never have again in my life.

A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our trip was perfectly planned, and our driver, Fredy(Fredi), took exceptional care of us from the moment we arrived at the airport. He was punctual, friendly, and always attentive to our needs. Fredy brought us to delicious local restaurants and comfortable accommodations, and he arranged the schedule thoughtfully to ensure we were well-rested and relaxed throughout the journey. What impressed us most was his willingness to go the extra mile — making sure we had enough time to unwind before our departure. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a smooth and memorable trip!
