[Blue Fire] When sulfur ignites the night, the earth reveals its secrets here. One of only two places in the world to witness these blue flames, resembling the breath of the "Gates of Hell."

This is an excellent value-for-money activity, highly recommended.
Departing from Canggu at 6:00 PM, we boarded the boat at the Bali pier at 10:00 AM and arrived at the Ijen volcano parking lot at 12:30 PM. The volcano gates didn't open until 2:00 AM, so we stopped at a small shop in the parking lot to wait.
We arrived at the Blue Fire Point at 3:30 PM, and daylight was already beginning to rise around 4:30 PM. It was important to keep pace during the hike to avoid being stuck in traffic and moving slowly. The sight of the Blue Fire was truly breathtaking, with the lava flowing slowly and the blue flames shimmering.
In autumn, you can't see the sunrise, but you can wait for daybreak at the summit to see the stunning sea of clouds and the sulfuric acid lake.
Don't miss the 2:00 AM hike to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.
We have a dedicated car for the entire trip, and the guide, gas mask, headlamp, and eye mask are all provided. It's a one-stop service and truly excellent value.

Reviews: Mount Ijen Crater Trekking Adventure with Blue Fire and Breakfast from Bali | Indonesia

We joined the tour to Kawah Ijen through Cheap Bromo, and while it was a long journey, from Kuta at 5PM to Ijen and back the next day around 6PM, it was absolutely worth it.
The hike to the summit was challenging but manageable, and although we couldn’t get closer to the famous blue flame due to heavy foot traffic down to the crater, we chose to hike up instead, and wow, what a decision. The sunrise and lake view from the top was really, really, really breathtaking.
A massive shoutout to Edy, our driver and unofficial photographer. His kindness, calm vibe, and friendly made the long journey so much more enjoyable. He’s not just a driver, he’s part of the experience. If you get Edy, you’re in for a treat!
