Take a trip to the most impressive places on Earth, to the heaven and hell of our planet - the active volcanoes Ijen and Bromo on the island of Java!
It is here, on the Ijen volcano, that you will see incredible Martian landscapes, a turquoise sulfur lake shrouded in clouds of sulfur vapors, and blue lights glowing in the night. You will also meet locals who extract sulfur with hard work exactly the same as 1000 years ago, lifting heavy baskets with stones from the crater of the volcano itself.
You will go on a real Jeep Safari through the sandy desert with a view of the majestic Bromo volcano, and also meet the breathtaking sunrise on its top. Bromo is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. You will feel the lava bubbling and boiling under your feet, rising from the very center of the Earth.
In a 3-day tour, you will find a balance of vivid impressions and a comfortable stay. After a busy morning trekking and a long road, you will be able to relax and unwind in cozy hotels and homesteads.
Don't miss the opportunity to embark on the most unusual journey of your life!

We really enjoyed the tour. There was an excellent guide, reasonably priced hotels with beautiful surroundings and a good restaurant. The guide took into account all our wishes and showed us the best places for photos.
This seemed like a perfect tour. Yes, the road is long, but the way there was hardly noticeable, plus you're driven through beautiful streets where you can admire the beauty all the way. Our driver was also excellent, Bulldog (Ketut). The escort, Sigit, joined us in Java, and he's a very cool guide too. As for the program itself, we probably didn't have high expectations to avoid disappointment, but reality pleasantly surprised us. The sunrise at Bromo and all the surroundings are very beautiful. Even though it was a bit cloudy, it seemed like these clouds added more atmosphere and beauty. The view of the temples through the mist from the crater was also very impressive. I'm usually indifferent about waterfalls, but this one left a great impression too, and the power and energy of the water always invigorate. The views are beautiful, and the local escort takes great photos and videos. And finally, Ijen. I had already been to Ijen before separately, and I was impressed then; this time I went again with friends. And it was worth it because the first time we didn't descend to the fire, perhaps due to weather conditions or something like that, but this time we did descend, saw it, and were impressed. The lake is, yes, beautiful, but I already knew what to expect, so it wasn't as impressive as the first time, but just looking at the beauty is always pleasant. In general, the tour program was a solid 10/10 for me. A small downside was the long wait for the ferry on the way back, and the ferry itself drifted an extra half hour. Even though we were tired after such an intense program, we were again taken along a very beautiful road, so sleeping would have been a crime, and we enjoyed the views.
Everything was just wonderful. A rich and exciting program, punctuality, and the guide and driver are simply great professionals and people. It was very pleasant to get acquainted with the volcanoes in their company. Thank you very much!
I liked that the duties were separated - the guide and the driver were different people. While one worked, the other rested, and vice versa. Both spoke English. The guide spoke particularly well, not only was he a local (eastern Java, near Ijen), but he was also an enthusiast and nature researcher. We talked with him along the way, discussed everything, and learned a lot of new things. Maybe we were just lucky, or maybe all the professionals there are like that, I don't know. Everything was organized as stated, without any changes on the go, hidden traps, or other surprises. Overall, everything was client-oriented, and they constantly asked about our condition, our opinions, and wishes.
