Itinerary Hiking Ijen Volcano

DAY 1: BALI - BANYUWANGI       ▼

Today you will begin your march towards the volcano in East Java. At the scheduled time, your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel to transfer you to the western tip of Bali where we will cross the strait by ferry to reach the port of Ketapang in East Java. This ferry ride takes approximately 30 minutes. Once in Java, we will take you to your hotel to rest as you prepare for the early rise tomorrow morning. The full journey from Ubud takes about 5 hours.

Accommodation: Hotel in Banyuwangi: Three options across different categories

DAY 2:TREKKING IJEN - BALI      ▼

The day has finally come to visit one of the most attractive volcanoes in Indonesia! One of the last open pit sulfur mines that survive on the planet. For this climb you can choose between two schedules. Either leave very early to see the blue lava (leaving the hotel about 1.30am) or leave more quietly only for sunrise (about 4am). You can decide once you meet the guide. Once we pick you up at your hotel, you will head towards the village of Licin to reach the slope of the volcano to begin the climb to the crater of the volcano. During this trek, your guide will give you double filter masks to protect you from the natural chemicals of sulfur.

At an altitude of 2883 meters and when dawn begins, an incredible contrast of colors will open before your eyes. A yellow earth scene and a large turquoise blue lake inside the crater that contrast with a suspended white cloud that is continuously expelling the volcano. In turn, among so much beauty you will see the local miners do what is said to be one of the toughest jobs in the world. These miners go down to the crater of the volcano to load 80 to 100 kilos of sulfur on their shoulders and then sell it. After this amazing experience on the edge of Ijen volcano crater, we begin the descent with an incredible panoramic view of the mountains that make up the national park.

We will take you to your hotel to cool off and have breakfast and then we start the way back to Bali. Thank you very much for doing this unforgettable trekking with Come2indonesia.
