★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 854 reviews · from $15Best value

Review of the Ijen Volcano midnight tour from Banyuwangi or Bali, covering blue fire, sunrise, safety, guides, transport, and value.

“We had the best trip to Ijen with Qim Qim and his wonderful team. They are super friendly, always in a good mood and attentive to everyone‘s needs. We were the first group down in the crater which was really great since a ton of people came later and it was super crowded then. And we got to experience the sunrise on the top of the crater, with some hot tea and lots of interesting facts about Ijen, the miners, blue fire and the acidic crater. We would gladly do the tour with Qim Qim and his great team again, it was one of the best experiences ever!!”

Thanks to our guides, we stayed longer — on our own, I probably would have left much earlier and missed the best part. Our guide was fantastic and shared so many interesting stories and insights with us. Thank you so much for this wonderful evening!”

“Wawan was by far the best guide we had in Indonisia. He was funny, helpfull, he knew a lot about places and local customs and he was a safe driver. He made the whole trip a lot better and more worth the money. The activity itself was also pretty nice but you have to get up pretty early each time. it's okay if you are prepared for it but it's still a thight schedule. You may want to take it easy the following days of your vacation.”

Watch Mount Merapi’s glowing lava from Turgo Hill near Yogyakarta, with mountain air, hot drinks, local guides, and a patient night outing.

“My guide Ardho was just the best. He's very passionate about the volcano and really wants to see the lava every time. It rained a lot and had a lot of fog and we could not even see the volcano. Other groups turned around and left because they said it's impossible to see the lava today. But Ardho said we stay and wait because the weather can and will change. He has a good expertise about the whole area and about 2 hours later with some tea and snacks the weather cleared and we saw the lava. Best guide, can just recommend to go with him.”
