The drive from Ubud to Gilimanuk Ferry Port will take approximately 4-5 hours. Upon arrival at Gilimanuk Ferry Port, you will board a ferry for about an hour to reach Ketapang Ferry Port on the Java side.

Mount Ijen Blue Fire Tour - Transfer to Mount Bromo area
Ijen Crater - The tour starts at 1:00 am from your hotel in Banyuwangi, with a journey of about an hour to the Paltuding area, the starting point for the hike to Ijen Crater. The hike from Paltuding to the peak of Ijen Crater takes about 1.5 – 2 hours, depending on your fitness level. To reach the blue fire point, you need to descend into the crater, which is the most dangerous part of the trip. Please always follow our guide’s instructions. It takes about 30-40 minutes to reach the blue fire point.
NOTE: Please bring your luggage as we will head directly to the Mount Bromo area after the Ijen Tour. You will not be allowed to stay long at the blue fire point due to the presence of poisonous gas. After witnessing the blue fire phenomenon, you will be guided to a viewpoint where you can see the entire sulfuric lake of Ijen Crater, one of the largest sulfuric lakes in Indonesia, with a stunning turquoise color. It is a great spot for photos. Around 7:00 am, we will return to the Paltuding area for breakfast and some relaxation before heading to Mount Bromo, which is about 5-6 hours away.
Mount Bromo Sunrise Tour - Transfer to Surabaya area (tour is finished)
Mount Bromo - The tour begins at 3:30 am from your hotel in the Mount Bromo area. We will use a jeep to navigate the steep and bumpy roads. The drive from the hotel/homestay to the sunrise point (Kingkong Hill) takes about 40 minutes. The sunrise is at approximately 5:20 am, and your guide will help you find the best spot. The view is spectacular, with Mount Bromo, Mount Semeru, Mount Batok, and the surrounding village all in one frame, making for a picturesque photo. After enjoying the sunrise, we will return to our jeep and head to the Sea of Sand for a jeep cruise before trekking to the peak of Mount Bromo. Taking a photo with the jeep is a must. The trek to the peak of Mount Bromo takes about 45 minutes. The path is good but dusty, and there may be horse droppings, so please cover your nose and face with a mask and sunglasses. At the peak, you will see the crater of the active Mount Bromo volcano. Due to the strong gases, you will not be allowed to stay long. Please follow the guide’s instructions. Around 8:30 am, we will return to the jeep and drive back to the hotel for breakfast, a shower, and packing before driving 3-4 hours to the Surabaya area (Airport, Hotel, Train Station).

This three-day tour commences from Ubud, Bali, taking us to visit both Ijen Crater/Mount Ijen and Mount Bromo. This adventure is particularly appealing to those passionate about outdoor activities, like hiking, trekking, or capturing stunning landscape photographs. Our base will be Banyuwangi town, an ideal location before trekking to the Ijen Crater and prior to our visit to Mount Bromo. For our Bromo tour, we will stay in Cemoro Village, which is the nearest village to the Mt. Bromo region. We will eventually drop you off in the Surabaya area (hotels, train station, or airport).
- Update from Ijen Crater for this week: Ijen Crater opens at 2 am as usual, but the blue fire is not really visible at the moment due to natural causes (but when you are lucky, you will see it). The benefit is you can go down into the crater + you can still see the whole view of the Mining area and some miners too and of course the whole landscape during the sunrise.
- For the last day, if you want to go back to Bali again after the trip, there will be additional cost 850.000 IDR, please let us know earlier so we can organize the transfer.
