Banyuwangi

Takk Ruly, Putro og vår Ijen-guide Eddie for at dere tok så godt vare på meg! Denne 2-dagers/1-natts turen anbefales på det sterkeste og er perfekt for alle som ønsker å besøke begge vulkanene på kortest mulig tid. Vi var 7 personer i gruppen vår, så bilen var ikke for full og turen var komfortabel. Dag 1 (Bromo): Vi hadde ingen offisiell guide denne dagen. Jeep-sjåføren slapp oss bare av uten å dele noen detaljer som hvor vi skulle gå, hva vi skulle gjøre, eller når vi skulle dra tilbake til jeepen. Heldigvis holdt Ruly kontakten med meg via meldinger og veiledet meg vellykket til utsiktspunktet, så jeg opplevde ingen problemer. Vi bodde på DreamLand Hotel, som var rent, anstendig og akkurat som avbildet. Dag 2 (Ijen): Turen er utmattende for de som ikke trener eller går tur regelmessig. Det er veldig bratt i begynnelsen opp til vulkankanten, og like bratt ned til krateret for å se den blå flammen. Stien er smal og overfylt, så du må være ekstremt forsiktig. Guiden vår, Eddie, var fantastisk – han viste oss en enklere sti for å se den blå flammen og hjalp meg personlig gjennom de vanskelige, steinete partiene. Etter turen slapp de meg av ved havnen, og Putro hjalp oss vennlig med fergebillettene. Det er noen ekstra kostnader på stedet: helsesertifikat IDR100K, avlevering til Ketapang havn IDR650K, enkeltromstillegg IDR375K (anbefales på det sterkeste for kvinnelige alenereisende, da de ikke nødvendigvis arrangerer romkamerater av samme kjønn for delte alternativer), utstyrsleie f.eks. gåstav IDR50K per stk.

Yanto, guiden vår, samt sjåførene våre Hendra og Dewa var fantastiske! De snakket utmerket engelsk og var veldig entusiastiske, noe som gjorde opplevelsen fantastisk. Yanto var veldig proaktiv med å hjelpe oss med å bestige Ijen, hjalp oss over vanskeligere terreng og fant til og med den blå flammen for oss selv om han ikke hadde gassmaske selv, og han kjøpte stekt banan og tauhu isi til oss med egne penger! Sjåførene var også fantastiske, de kjørte trygt, stoppet når vi trengte en toalettpause/lunsjpause, og det var ingen røyking i bilen i det hele tatt, noe som var et stort pluss for meg. Alt i alt en fantastisk opplevelse, og vi kunne ikke takke lokalbefolkningen nok.

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.

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.

I highly, highly recommend this tour! My friends and I came to Indonesia primarily for the volcano tour. After seeing some negative reviews for another option on Klook, we chose this 'Cheap Bromo' tour. Our Chinese-speaking guide, Meixing, spoke excellent Chinese. She picked us up from our Surabaya hotel at 11 PM the night before. After about a two-hour drive, we switched to a jeep. I thought the jeep driver was very skilled; the mountain roads were extremely steep, especially in the dark, and his driving made us feel very safe. The sunrise view from Mount Penanjakan was absolutely stunning, and Mount Bromo was beautiful, perfect for taking many great photos! After the Bromo tour, we went for breakfast. There were many breakfast options, and the restaurant was lovely! Then, from the restaurant, we took a regular car to the hotel where we would rest. My friends and I were so tired that, even though the original plan was to eat before checking in, our guide helped us ask the hotel if we could check in early. The meals were then prepared for takeout, allowing us to get plenty of rest before heading to Ijen Crater! For climbing Ijen Crater, I recommend bringing a wool hat, a jacket, and comfortable non-slip shoes. You'll sweat a lot after a short walk, but it gets very cold and windy near the summit. At Ijen Crater, another guide, Sika, led us up. Sika's English was excellent. The mountain path was very challenging, and he constantly monitored our physical condition and was very patient! The only downside was that the route to see the blue flames was closed during our visit, but we did see the beautiful lake on the mountain. The driver who took us throughout the trip was also very kind and an excellent driver, allowing us to sleep well during the long journeys. My friends and I were heading to Bali afterward, and they dropped us off at the port around 9 AM, having already purchased our ferry tickets, ensuring we ended our trip safely and happily! So, a big thank you to this team! P.S. If you get motion sickness, be sure to bring motion sickness medication!

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!

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)
