Check into your mountain lodge and enjoy the cool, crisp air of the highlands as you prepare for an early start.

At 3:30 AM, a private 4WD Jeep will whisk you to Penanjakan Point. Watch the sun rise over Mount Bromo, Batok, and the smoking Semeru. Afterward, cross the Sea of Sand and hike to the Bromo crater rim. By mid-morning, we depart for the Ijen area, driving through lush coffee plantations and rural Javanese villages before checking in for the night.
Day 3 | Ijen Blue Fire & Return to Bali
The final day starts at midnight. We drive to Paltuding and begin the trek up Mount Ijen. Descend into the crater to witness the mystical Blue Fire and the world’s largest acidic lake. After sunrise, we hike back down and begin our return journey to Bali. You will be dropped off at your hotel in the evening, completing your epic volcanic circuit.
The Ijen Blue Fire is a rare, naturally occurring phenomenon.
