Upon reaching the summit of the Ijen Crater, at an altitude of approximately 2,385 meters above sea level, you will be able to see the blue fire.
If you wish to see the blue fire phenomenon, continue your journey to the crater floor. This journey takes approximately 30 minutes, with slightly dangerous terrain, as the trail is filled with rocks and sand, making it a bit slippery. Once you reach the sulfur area, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the blue fire. (Blue fire is a unique natural phenomenon caused by the combustion of sulfur gas emitted from the crater of Mount Ijen, and is naturally occurring.)
Please note that the path down to the crater floor, including the path leading down to the lake, is not equipped with safety equipment for descending or ascending. We strongly advise against attempting to descend into the crater. Otherwise, the tour organizers are not responsible for any potential consequences.
After enjoying the beauty of the blue fire, continue climbing back to the summit.
In the morning, around 5:00 AM, you'll be captivated by the stunning panorama of the Ijen Crater, featuring an acidic lake with turquoise water. The view is especially beautiful if you take photos above the crater. Beyond the scenery, you'll also see sulfur miners descending into the crater to extract yellow sulfur rocks and ascending back up along a treacherous path along the edge of the crater, carrying 40-70 kilograms of weight on their shoulders. This is dangerous and difficult work.
After enjoying the breathtaking views of the Ijen Crater, we'll descend to the parking area where our car will be waiting to take you back to your hotel for breakfast and to collect your bags. Before departing for the Tumpaksewu waterfall area, the journey will take approximately 6-7 hours with several stops.
