🌋 Why Choose This Ijen Tour from Bali?
Situated just an hour away from the Java-Bali ferry port, Mount Ijen (Kawah Ijen) is a striking stratovolcano located between Banyuwangi and Bondowoso in East Java. The crater is world-famous for its electric-blue flames, visible only in the darkness before dawn, and its toxic turquoise lake, the largest highly acidic crater lake on Earth.
Each month, thousands of visitors trek up the volcano’s steep slopes in the middle of the night to witness this rare geological phenomenon. Surrounded by lush rainforests, terraced rice fields, and flanked by neighboring mountains such as Mount Meranti and Mount Raung, the journey to Ijen is not only adventurous but deeply rewarding.
