Esta foi a primeira vez que eu e o meu amigo visitámos Java Oriental e escolhemos a excursão da Klook organizada pela JVTO. Foi uma viagem muito agradável e sem complicações. A excursão foi bem planeada, com alguma flexibilidade para atender a interesses pessoais. A qualidade do alojamento era boa para o preço. O motorista era seguro e habilidoso. Os guias eram simpáticos e profissionais. Definitivamente recomendaria a outros, especialmente se estiver interessado em explorar os incríveis vulcões e cascatas da região.

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.

Our driver Dephy is really nice and helpful, made the trip really smooth.

Yanto, nosso guia, assim como nossos motoristas Hendra e Dewa, foram fantásticos! Eles falavam um inglês excelente e eram muito entusiasmados, tornando a experiência maravilhosa. Yanto foi muito proativo em nos ajudar a escalar o Ijen, nos auxiliando em alguns terrenos mais difíceis e até encontrando o fogo azul para nós, mesmo sem ter uma máscara de gás. Ele ainda comprou banana frita e tauhu isi para nós com o próprio dinheiro! Os motoristas também foram fantásticos, dirigiram com segurança, parando quando precisávamos de uma pausa para ir ao banheiro/almoçar, e não havia fumo no carro, o que foi um grande bônus para mim. No geral, uma experiência fantástica e não poderíamos agradecer mais aos moradores locais.

Reservamos um pacote com a JVTO via Klook para a nossa viagem de aventura de 3 dias e 2 noites. Um agradecimento especial a Fredy e Fauzi por sempre nos atenderem; desde entreter nossas bobagens/pedidos até nos fazer rir com suas piadas novas. Somos realmente gratos e agradecidos por tê-los como nossos guias e motoristas. Eles tornaram esta viagem realmente livre de estresse, agradável e memorável. Gostaríamos também de expressar nossa maior gratidão por sempre terem sido pacientes conosco, especialmente durante a caminhada. Que Deus os abençoe a todos!🤍

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.

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! ❤️
