🌋 Blue Flame Volcano Tour – Amazing Experience - Mine Blue Flame Volcano Tour was an unforgettable adventure! Even though the blue flame was very small than I hoped that night, the experience was still magical — watching the first light of sunrise over the crater and feeling the energy of the volcano was something truly special. Mine guide, Hamid, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, making sure that I felt safe and comfortable during the climb. He explained everything about the volcano, and the natural wonders of the area , the miners who work long hours in harsh conditions: smoke, toxic gases, steep terrain, and extreme heat .Miners carry heavy baskets of sulfur, often 50–90 kg per trip, down the crater to sell. A huge thank you as well to our drivers, Wasis and Adi, for being so friendly, patient, and professional — the long drive felt easy and enjoyable thanks to their good energy and smiles. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable trip, full of warmth, care, and adventure — even if nature decided to keep her blue flames a bit shy that night. 💙

HAMID AND NURIL GAVE ME THE BEST TOUR OF MY LIFE! - Hamid (my guide) and Nuril (the driver) were absolutely amazing—I honestly consider them friends now! I wasn’t sure what to expect, besides seeing the blue flames at Mt. Ijen, but this tour was so much more. We ate at local street vendors, and Hamid seemed to know everyone—he encouraged me to taste fresh fruits before buying and always made sure I got a fair price. Hamid shared so much about the culture, the miners, and the volcano, and truly went above and beyond in every way. The hike was tough at times, but he encouraged breaks, carried my backpack, had me hold his hand for balance down uneven surfaces, as well as taught me local phrases, and took so many beautiful photos along the way. This experience was unforgettable, all thanks to Hamid and Nuril!

Ijen with kids is amazing with Rahman as guide - I did the Ijen Tour with my three children (9-14 years). Because of the kids we decided to start early morning instead of during the night. It was an amazing experience, also without the blue fire, which is only visible in the night. Rahman is a wonderful tour guide. Thank you for the wonderful tour 🙏

Mount Ijen - fantastic organization - We booked a tour to Mount Ijen. All was very well organized and goes smoothly. A driver picked up us at your hotel at Permutaran, then we met our guide Dani who took the ferry with us to Java and another driver was waiting for us to bring us to the start point of the hike. We had an incredible day with our guide Dani. He was a fantastic guide, very kind. He gave us many explanations on miners and sulfure. He really takes care of us especially on me who has more difficulties. He was very cautious on our security. .Thanks a lot to all the team.

Experienced wonderful nature with Ari&Fait - We just returned from an amazing trip with Ari (guide) and Fait (driver), traveling from Bali to Ijen, Tumpak Sewu, and Bromo. Everything was perfectly organized and we experienced breathtaking views of waterfalls and volcanoes. Ari is an outstanding guide: highly experienced, flexible, funny (with a very distinctive laugh ;-), and deeply knowledgeable — he seems to know every stone by name! He and Fait are a great team and handled the crowds and challenges smoothly. Bring good spirits, decent fitness, and a willingness to get up early — the rewards are unforgettable. Thank you so much, Ari & Fait!

- We had an amazing trip to Mount Ijen! Everything was perfectly organised. We felt super safe with our drivers (Yudis and Orin). Dani was the best guide, he had the perfect timing for the crater tour, we ended up being the first people at the blue fire which was amazingggg, he’s super funny, nice and made us coffee on top of the mountain so we’re more than happy 🙏🏻 10/10 worth the money especially if you’re short on time!
