It was an amazing trip! Yes, It’s a long trip because of the transfers to Java but but I didn’t have to think at al. It was so well organized. And QimQim, our guide, was the best. He made us all feel comfortable and most important: safe. We hiked for around 45 minutes, and I had it a bit tough but I didn’t had any sleep at all so maybe that is why. QimQim made sure we were the first group down the crater and when we had to get up, a lot of people were coming down. So we had the blue fire for ourselves and that was very nice. The climb down to the crater is a bit hard but totally worth it. You feel so alive!!! Book the trip, it is an amazing experience.

the transportation was convenient and well-organized, making the journey smooth. the guides (fifi and malik) were amazing—knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging throughout the hike, sharing detailed insights about ijen. i was lucky to witness the mesmerizing blue fire and enjoy breathtaking views from the top, making the entire trip a well-planned and unforgettable adventure.

The trek was amazing. Our guide, Qim Qim, was so good. He made the experience really enjoyable with a lot of laughs. The blue fire wasn't quite as spectacular as I expected, but that was because I didn't understand its purpose. The views are amazing. The whole tour was well organised, but make sure you have a mobile phone with whatsapp access because instructions and pick up points are sent to you asking the way. You need a decent level of fitness to complete the trek. Our transfers from Sanur to the ferry and back were not great, but that was well addressed by the tour operator. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend this operator. We left early, so we were the first ones at each point and had exclusive access.
