Sunrise on Ijen Volcano and the Fairytale Forest of Javatan Bengkuluk

Volcanoes

Dreaming of a fairy tale journey? Imagine a land with giant, bizarrely shaped trees covered in fluffy moss, and an emerald lake that exhales clouds of gas and blue flames like a dragon. This magical place exists on the island of Java, and we invite you to explore it on a thrilling two-day tour.

Walk through the enchanting Djawatan Benculuk forest, where winding paths make you feel like a character from "Lord of the Rings" or "Alice in Wonderland." Witness the sunrise at Ijen, the only volcano in the world with a sulfur lake in its crater. At night, its shores light up with spectacular blue fire, resembling molten lava, while trees on the caldera’s slopes look like spooky sea monsters.

Swim in crystal — clear waters and wash away your fatigue under cascading waterfalls.

Charge your camera and join us for the most incredible adventure of your life!
