“We were contacted and picked up from our hotel in Ubud punctually. The driver, Gede Raka, was very gentle and explained us everything about our activity. We met Putu and Gede Dipa near the volcano with the bikes already prepared. They were very nice and patient. Putu made a lot of cool photos and videos. Gede Dipa explained us everything about volcano. The bike were comfortable and easy to use. We made a ride of almost 1h into awesome lava lake, then temple, and finally went to the hot spring. We had an hour and a half for relaxing at the hot spring near the lake. After Gede Raka brought…”

The tickets for everything and meals are included and pre-organised which is nice because everywhere you go things are ready for you.

Review of a private Mount Ijen trek from Bali, with midnight hiking, sunrise views, blue flames, transport details, costs, and practical tips.
“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. Our driver was trying to contact them with little success, I reached out to TripGuru to ask for assistance but was offered none. So while I would highly recommend this adventure, our Ijen guide and the driver, I would not use TripGuru again due to the lack of support given to…”

See Ijen’s blue fire and sunrise on a demanding 22-hour trip from Bali, with ferry crossings, guides, gas masks, breakfast, and hotel transfers.
“Don’t expect to see the blue flames… But if you want to experience sunrise from the top of a volcano with an outstanding view on a lake and sulfuric fumes, do not hesitate, it’s a great adventure! Prepare for a looooooong journey. A 4-hour drive from out hotel in Sanur to the ferry + a 1 hour crossing + a 1.5 hour drive in Java to get to the Ijen starting point. Then, you will have to walk up to the top. It takes aproximately 2 hours. Our guide Muffi was great! She had prepared everything for us: flashlights and gas masks. She was fun and friendly and she wisely…”
