Zážitok z turistiky v kráteri Ijen zo Surabaye a Malangu

I had a lot of fun thanks to the guide Dino and driver Febri. They fetched me from my hotel in Surabaya at 6pm before we start our road trip to Ijen🙃The journey took 6 hours and thanks to Febri amazing driving skill we arrived safely and on time. The actual hike starts only at 2am since that is the allowed time for visitors to enter the area. So we all eat at the restaurant there to kill time. It was very cold🥶but you’ll be sweating along the hike. The jacket will be useful once you reach the peak and waiting for the sunrise. The trail is good and easy to manage although you need to be quite fit to finish the hike. The gas mask help a lot once you’re at the top but the sulfur irritated my eyes so i skip the blue fire. The whole experience was fun. Many thanks to Dino for the guide and help along the hike. We managed to nab a good spot for sunrise view. It was foggy the whole time we were there so we have to wait for a while before the turquoise lake is visible from the top. It finally shows itself just before i start my descend. It was so pretty! Definitely worth the hike.

司機至酒店接送，是五人座轎車，四月中旬伊真火山凌晨溫度約15度，穿著短袖及輕便保暖外套即可，山路陡峭，爬山滿身大汗，可依個人體力分階段休息，自入口處海拔1800米，爬升至山頂2300米，偶有刺鼻硫磺味，出發前可選擇是否租用防毒面具，日出、雲海相當美麗，唯硫磺礦物屬於能源公司所有，雇工採礦滅火，無法實際看到大面積藍火，但可燃燒硫磺，前所未見，非常驚艷，建議與布羅默火山分開安排，休息後再出發，兩天一夜/三天兩夜，體力負荷相當大。

The trip organiser is Fun Adventure, the allocated driver, Tori and guide, Warno is helpful and professional. It is a 6 hours drive from Malang to Mount Ijen, throughtout the trip, you could request stop for meal and toilet breaks. The climb down the crater is challenging but fun in many ways, furthermore, the sight of the blue fire is amazing. Definitely recommend the trip to any beginner hikers.

We had a pleasant experience despite the persistent drizzle throughout the night. Our guide Sony was awesome in making sure we were safe and comfortable. Although we didnt get to see the blue flames due to the rain, Sony brought us down to see where the sulfur and smoke came from and we were able to see it upclose. It wouldnt have been possible if there wasnt any rain so i might return for a second trip in a better season (May-July). The tour was well organised and planned and everything went smoothly except the jam which caused our journey to be doubled. Atleast we were able to get a good rest by bringing pillows from the hotel onto the car ride as its the same car that drives us back too

드라이버 IKHSAN이 말랑에서 이젠화산까지 왕복 14시간을 운전 했습니다. 차량은 쾌적하고 잠이 잘 왔습니다. 긴 시간임에도 피곤해서 잠에 잘 들수 있었습니다. 화산재 때문에 산이 미끄러운데 가이드가 안전히 등산할 수 있도록 계속 케어해줬습니다.

Our trip to Ijen Volcano was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our amazing driver Rully and our fantastic guide Yudi. Rully was punctual, professional, and always ensured we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. Yudi was not only knowledgeable about the volcano and its unique blue flame, but also incredibly warm and attentive. He helped us capture stunning photos, shared fascinating stories about the region, and made sure we understood everything by translating when needed. Their combined efforts made this adventure smooth, memorable, and truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better team — thank you both for such a wonderful experience!

Although many reviews said that never expected the magnificient of ijen’s crater blue fire, we had a wonderful experience to climb Ijen for more than three hours back and forth. The organiser team equipped us with lights and masks and gave us useful information before we climbed. Overall it was exhausted but fun! Thanks!

The tour contacted very soon after booking to clarify timing / date. Our car from Surabaya to Ijen broke down on highway but thankfully the driver had safety first in mind, he quickly coordinated for towtruck and replacement car to ensure we could continue our journey in time. The replacement driver and local tour guide are both nice and welcoming as well. Thou the trip was exhausting, it was rewarding

The tour agency contacted us 1 day before we departed - which was good. It was a 6-7 hours drive from our hotel in Surabaya to the gathering point. After which we met up with the guide and started a 2.5 hours hike to the crater, starting at 2am. The hike comprised mostly of a uphill climb with some flat terrain in between (expect about 75% of the time to be going uphill). If you think you cannot make it, you can hire a trolley service to take you to/fro but that does not cover the subsequent climb down to see the blue fire. For that you need to climb down yourself. It was a 1 hour climb down the side of the cliff - here I felt it was quite dangerous but luckily everyone go slowly. The guide also offer support along the way whenever needed. Note that they will charge for rental of gas mask and also health certificate.

Was picked up at Surabaya at 6.30pm and reached the base at about 1.30am. Was introduced to our guide Dharni who shared with us what we can expect from the tour. The incline can be pretty steep at certain part, so if you want to see the blue flame, you really need to be very fit to get up and climb down the crater in time. Otherall the view was great and I had a great time!
