2.Private Mount Ijen Crater Volcano Midnight Trek

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 27 reviews · 1 day · from $139

Travel from your Bali hotel across Java for a midnight climb of Mount Ijen. A local guide leads the two-hour ascent, a photographer may help with star shots, and sunrise reveals the sulphur lake. Small groups of up to five, breakfast, transfers, entry fees, and an English-speaking guide are included.

“Our local guide Ijen was fantastic, he had previously worked in the mine so had great insight into the place. The blue flames and views were breathtaking (so was the hike). Our driver did a great job under difficult circumstances. I was disappointed that when we ran into car trouble after leaving Ijen, there was no support from TripGuru.

3.Mount Ijen Crater Trekking Tour from Bali

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 8 reviews · from $153

Travel from South Bali to East Java by ferry, then hike 3 km up Mount Ijen before dawn with a local guide. You may see the crater’s blue fire, meet sulphur miners, and view Java’s largest acid lake. Pickup, trekking gear, breakfast, lunch, and return transport are included. The climb is demanding and suited to fit visitors aged 16 and over.

“I would recommend this tour. The volcano is incredible but it isn't for everyone. Its a tough climb overnight and journey from Bali is pretty long. The driver were very courteous and the tour guide was pretty average. There was a wait in a building/house that was unexpected, we had to wait until fellow travelers arrived so we'd leave as a group.”
