Mount Ijen is an active volcano located on the border between Banyuwangi Regency and Bondowoso Regency, East Java, Indonesia. One of the most famous natural phenomena of Mount Ijen is the crater located at its peak. Climbing this mountain can be started from several places. Climbers can depart from Banyuwangi or from Bondowoso. Observe the ‘blue flames’ of Ijen Crater during a guided trip on Mount Ijen. Departing Bali by ferry, this 24-hour excursion takes you to East Java at midnight to begin the dawn climb to the peak. Witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon in the dark and then be treated to an extraordinary view inside the Ijen Crater. Bring your camera to capture the views and meet local sulfur miners hard at work on the mountain. Numbers are limited to ensure a small group experience. 4 hour drive to Gilimanuk port where our ferry leaves at 10pm. No need for sleep anymore, in the dark of night, Gilimanuk almost reminds you of Calais in France and all those campervan holidays. On board, we arrived for karaoke on the ferry… You don't see that in Calais.
