Climbing Ijen volcano

Volcanoes

Experience the mesmerizing beauty of the Northern Lights phenomenon right at the equator on Java Island! Just a short trip from Bali, venture east to the awe-inspiring Ijen volcano. At 2,000 meters above sea level, witness a stunning turquoise lake, vibrant yellow stones, and the enchanting blue lights.

Ijen is renowned for its massive sulfur formations, where workers laboriously carry sulfur by day, and at night, witness the mystical blue glow caused by sulfur reacting with oxygen, creating a captivating luminescence.

Capture this natural wonder with your camera as the stunning landscape unfolds before you. For a comfortable journey, consider our Restful Ijen or 3-day Ijen and Bromo tours, complete with hotel accommodations before your climb.

Welcome to the breathtaking Ijen Planet – a truly unforgettable experience awaits!

Important information:

  • Access to Ijen Crater is restricted to 500 meters from the sulfur source, marked by the red flag. The descent to the lake is hazardous and not recommended. The tour operator assumes no responsibility for any risks taken.

  • Return the mask and flashlight after climbing, or face a fine of 50,000 idr per item.
