Why visit Bromo and Kawah Ijen?
- To witness an epic sunrise from the grandiose caldera of the Tenger-Bromo super volcano
- To hear the roar of the Earth while balancing on the edge of an active volcano crater
- To discover unforgettable otherworldly landscapes
Day 1 – Transfer to Java
We start our trip at dawn in a comfortable car or minibus in South Bali (pick-up also available from Ubud around 7-7:30 a.m. or from the Probolingo railway station in Java around 4-5 p.m.) After a few hours driving through Balinese landscapes, we will take a ferry to Java and continue our trip there, taking in typical Javanese landscapes.
We will arrive at the last village of the Bromo site in the late afternoon (altitude of 2,300 m), have a local dinner, and enjoy some free time to rest (or explore the surroundings) before the night climb. Night at GOOD KARMA Bromo.
Day 2 – Meeting the Bromo
Our journey begins with a 3:30 a.m. wake-up call and departure aboard an off-road 4x4 jeep. We will climb to the top of the Tenger-Bromo caldera to reach the “King-Kong” viewpoint (altitude of 2,650 m.)
At the viewpoint platform, we will witness a stunning sunrise over the following volcanoes:
Bromo (active, an altitude of 2,300 m)
Batok (dormant, an altitude of 2,400 m)
Semeru (active and erupting, altitude of 3,677 m, the tallest volcano in Java)
After enjoying the beautiful view (and depending on the weather conditions), we will cross the “sea of sand” (mostly made up of the volcanic ashes and debris of prior eruptions) and head to the sacred Hindu temples at the foot of the spectacular Bromo and Batok volcanoes.
Making our way around the temples dedicated to the gods living inside the crater, we will go up a steep and narrow path and climb 250 steps to reach the top of the Bromo. Only then, stunned by the sounds coming from the entrails of the Earth, and in the cold of the night, will we be able to experience the beauty of the smoking crater, its sulfur vapors emanating from the depths of the volcano. A truly unforgettable moment!
After exploring this extraordinary volcanic site, we will continue on our adventure, witnessing magnificent landscapes, traditional villages, various plantations (coffee, tobacco, rice, etc.), and authentic moments of the Javanese lifestyle in this beautiful volcanic region. A lunch and dinner of local cuisine will delight us before our arrival at our hotel.
Day 3 – Conquering the Kawah Ijen
Departure at 1:00 am for a 1 hour transfer to the Kawah Ijen base camp. After safety briefing and the provision of essential equipment (lamps, gas masks, etc.), we will begin the night climb at 2:00 am. Our experienced professional guides will lead you to the summit (2,300 m) through a beautiful mountain trail, under a ceiling of stars. It will take us between 1.5 and 2 hours of trekking to reach the top of Kawah Ijen volcano.
Once at the top of the crater, the most exciting part begins: we will descend, in complete darkness, into the crater of the active volcano to witness the unique phenomenon of the “blue flames”.
Our guides principally made up of former sulfur miners and porters and therefore very knowledgeable about the crater, will help you descend safely. They will exercise constant vigilance and make sure you are using the protective masks appropriately, providing you with constant help and guidance within this extremely spectacular environment.
At around 5 a.m., watching the sunrise above the largest acid lake in the world will complete this extraordinary adventure. We will take the time to appreciate the surreal scene surrounding us, enjoying the sunrise above the stunning turquoise lake while watching the brave workers carry huge sulfur blocks on their shoulders up to the crater rim!
Around 6-7 a.m., we will descend from this incredible location and head back to the base camp (altitude of 1,900 m). In the light of the day, you will be able to appreciate the beautiful trail that led to the caldera of the stratovolcano. Filled with its energy and the morning’s unique impressions, we will gently make our way down the slopes of the volcano and enjoy a breakfast specially prepared by a local Javanese family. Following a ferry ride from Java to Bali, we will return to our starting point in the South of Bali (arrival at around 6 p.m.)
Upon returning, we can guarantee that you will feel physically tired, but that this feeling will quickly pass and give way to the joy of the new memories you will get to cherish for the rest of your life.

FAQ
Will it be cold? What will the temperature be like? Is it likely to rain?

It is recommended that you bring your own warm clothes, but we will also be able to provide you with warm jackets, hats, gloves and rainwear upon request. Don't believe any forecast in Indonesia. It's not trustable at all :).

Group tours are made up of a minimum of 2-3 individuals and a maximum of 10-12 individuals. Regardless of the group’s size, we will adapt the vehicle to the number of participants in order to ensure a comfortable trip. The larger group may be broken down into smaller groups during the hike.

No additional costs. All items for hike will be provided for free upon request: jackets, lamps, protective masks, scarves, gloves, hats and rainwear.

Nous avons participé à cette excursion en juillet 2018 et nous avons ADORÉ l'expérience. Encore aujourd'hui, plus de 2 ans plus tard, nous en parlons. L'équipe était vraiment super et attentionnée. C'est une excursion exigeante, car il y a beaucoup de choses et de trajet à faire pour la courte durée. Par contre, ça permet justement de voir des choses que nous n'aurions pas pu voir dans une si courte période par nous même.
Nous avons vécu une superbe expérience. Que dire du levé de soleil et de l’ascension de Bromo !! C’était extraordinaire, j’ai pu filmer des images à couper le souffle. Pour Ijen, il faut savoir s’accrocher et dépassé ses limites car une marche nocturne de plusieurs heures demande du courage. C’est néanmoins une occasion unique de descendre dans un cratère de volcan. Un gros merci pour le professionnalisme des guides, leur accompagnement et la sécurisation des visites (c’est ce que nous recherchions).
Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. Todo el viaje ha estado muy bien organizado, y aunque son muchas horas en el coche tienen suficiente espacio para ir comodamente. Kawah Ijen es algo del otro mundo, uno de los sitios mas increibles que he visto en mi vida. Y la comida deliciosa. Los banana pancakes y la cena en Bromo muy muy recomendable. Muchas gracias a todos los guias por hacer que esos tres dias en Java fueran maravillosas. Gracias Nico por todas las anecdotas :D Fue de gran ayuda que pudiesen recogerme en ubud pero a la vuelta pudiese ir hasta Seminyak. %100 recomendable
Trois jours hors du temps et magnifiques à tous points de vues. Un éblouissement permanent, des guides compétents et attentifs (mentions spéciales pour Changi, probablement le meilleur chauffeur d'Indonésie et à Pierrick pour son organisation a la fois d'une grande efficacité mais également soucieuse de la sécurité et du bien être de chacun des participants). Je recommande Indotravel à 100%. Vous pouvez y aller non pas les yeux fermés mais les yeux grands ouverts et l'esprit disponible pour découvrir un autre "monde" durant " 3 jours.
L'’ensemble de nos visites, incluant le Bromo et le Kawah Ijen se sont très bien déroulées, et que nous sommes sortis plus que satisfaits de notre expérience avec des guides très expérimentés et conviviaux. Le petit hotel ou vous avez laissé avant d’aller visiter le Bromo le lendemain matin était aussi très plaisant, et nous a permis de correctement se reposer avant de repartir. Les visites des deux volcans se sont avérés mémorables à tout point de vue, et chacun à leur manière. Ce sont définitivement des incontournables en Indonésie. Nous sommes aussi très contents de notre visite matinale du lendemain au temple de Borobudur avec votre chauffeur. Bref, je ne peux que recommender fortement votre agence pour son grand professionnalisme dans l’éventualité de futures visites, et c’est définitivement ce que je vais faire.
That was an amazing trip to Java, very organized and fun team! It felt so unique to be the only group at the top of the Bromo to meet the sunrise! Ah, and those banana pancakes for breakfast after ❤️ Ijen- more intense but not less fun at all, very professional and supportive guides ( good photographers as well if you are solo traveler) Definitely highly recommend tour and team! Special credit to Nicolas - the group leader: caring, funny, full of stories, big heart person 🙏🏼 Coffee honey - must try and buy
It was an amazing experience hiking with the Indotravelteam. The tour guide Nicholas was fantastic. He knew a lot about the region, always tried to make us comfortable, helped us out with whatever possible. The drivers were really great as we manage to not get stuck in any bad traffic considering it is peak season in Bali (Christmas and new year period). The food at all the stops was just excellent home cooked and fresh. We had ample time to rest and the accommodation was quite decent considering the region we were in. Our guides at Ijen, Pur and Hari were just fantastic and really helped us with the steep climb down into the crater and even got us a really great close up view of blue flames of Ijen. They provided us with all the gear for hiking including torchlights, beanies, respirators, and gloves for the cold temperature. I would definitely recommend anyone going to Bromo and Ijen to use Indotravelteam's services.
I did the 3 day reverse tour and continued travelling in Java afterwards. The tour was amazing. It was really well organised, the tour guides were friendly, caring and really helpful in introducing us to local culture, traditions and food. My favourite was Ijen. Walking down the path to see the blue flames was an unforgettable experience. Thank you Indotravel Team!

Nous avons fais le tour inversé Bali/Kawah Ijen/Bromo avec une amie et nous avons adoré! Une expérience unique pour les deux ascensions avec des guides professionnels, sympathiques et attentionnés. L'organisation est top et nous n'avons pas eu à nous soucier de quoi que ce soit (itinéraire, transport, hôtel, restaurant...) ce qui et très appréciable. De plus, l'équipe Indotravelteam a été très arrangeante et s'est adaptée à nos contraintes. Nous recommandons vivement!! 😊
Nous avons fait le trip 3j/2n à Bromo et Ijen. Quelle expérience mémorable. Ces 3 jours resteront à jamais gravés dans nos mémoires grâce à la super organisation d'Indotravelteam. Pierrick qui nous a accompagné a été un véritable mentor, plein de bons conseils. Passionné de volcans et d'Indonésie nous avons appris beaucoup à ses côtés. Une très belle personne et qui sait s'entourer des meilleurs guides, des guides expérimentés, bienveillants et qui se préoccupent de notre sécurité. Nous ne regrettons absolument pas d'avoir choisi Indotravelteam pour le professionnalisme de cette agence. Un vrai moment de partage et de rencontres. Les levers du soleil sur les volcans sont magiques et les paysages magnifiques. Allez y les yeux fermés, tout est finement bien organisé : entrées dans les parcs, nourritures dans les warungs spécialement choisi (très bonne au passage), transport, hôtels, matériel... Une agence au top notamment en terme de qualité de prestation, de sécurité avec des guides connaissant les volcans par coeur, qui vous suivent, vous aident et vous donnent énormément d'informations.
Уже второй раз я выбираю Indotravelteam. Три года назад я получила самые яркие и незабываемые эмоции от трехдневной поездки на вулканы. До сих пор эти воспоминания не дают мне покоя, поэтому снова,оказавшись на Бали, я обратилась к Indotravelteam за новой порцией впечатлений. Мне очень важно, кто меня окружает, и это тот случай, когда хочется возвращаться не только в определенные места, но и к конкретным людям. Забота, уважение, внимание... с ними чувствуешь себя защищенной иособенной. Ребята очень опытные, ответственные, организация на высшем уровне. Про те ощущения, которые готова подарить природа, рассказывать не буду. Для каждого это будет уникальный, свой собственный путь и опыт. Но могу сказать,что это гораздо больше и глубже,чем просто экскурсия, это знакомство с собой через это восхождение и спуск к недрами Земли. Без сомнений, это лучшее, что может произойти с Вами, во время пребывания на Бали!
Everything was great. we have unforgettable adventure. We've seen a lot of beautiful places. Our accompanying Irka is cool and friendly.The driver is a real racer.All guides are very attentive.We are very glad that such wonderful people accompanied us on this journey. The tour organization is excellent - everything is on schedule. Thanks to all your team for the trip and unforgettable impressions!
Un trip de 3 jours exceptionnel aux monts Bromo et Kawah Ijen avec une équipe hyper professionnelle, discrète et attentive à nos moindres désirs. Les chauffeurs sont incroyables de dextérité avec une attention de tous les instants dans une circulation difficile. Les guides sont remarquables et d’une gentillesse incroyable. Ils nous ont assisté avec une extrême prévenance dans la montée à l’Ijen et la descente dans le cratère. Ce fut une aventure inoubliable que nous recommandons très chaudement à tous 👍!
We had a fantastic experience over 3 days starting from Surubaya including early morning visits to Bromo Ijen volcanos. The drivers couldn’t have been more accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for them. The highlight of the trip was was the descent into the crater Of Ijen where the company had provided 2 ex-miners as specialist guides. We were then returned to Ubud in Bali to continue our vacation.
Хочу поделиться своим незабываемым опытом восхождения на вулкан с Indotravelteam. Были в 3х дневном туре (3 дня, 2 ночи) на вулканы Иджи и Бромо на острове Ява. Нашим сопровождающим оказался Пьеррик. Хочу сказать пару слов об этом уникальном, по моему мнению, человеке. Помимо того, что Пьеррик замечательный гид, он оказался еще и удивительно интересным и что совсем немаловажно - веселым собеседником! За что ему хотим сказать огромное спасибо! Первая встреча с организаторами прошла в кафе-мороженое, где русская переводчица подробно пересказала нам что нужно делать и что нас ждет, так что мы абсолютно не переживали. Восхождение дается нелегко, но когда ты оказываешься на вершине вулкана, вся усталость испаряется в миг! Описать свои чувства в момент, когда зажигают голубые огни, невозможно. Захватывает дух! Добраться до вулкана не так-то просто :) Но благодаря прекрасной и слаженной работе команды, наш путь оказался захватывающим приключением! Мы обязательно вернемся, чтобы вновь испытать эти потрясающие эмоции!

Спасибо команде Indotravelteam за незабываемый 3-х дневный тур на вулканы Бромо и Иджен! Отличный водитель, прекрасные гиды. Организовано все хорошо! Три дня пронеслись как одно мгновение, оставив незабываемые впечатления!!!
Tour de 3 Dias y 2 noches de Ijen y Bromo. Los guías (Hary y Riki) y el conductor (Riyan) muy amables, siempre atentos y buenos compañeros de viaje. 100% recomendado!!!
My girlfriend and I did the 3 day Bromo-Ijen trip and it was a fantastic experience. From start to finish everything was organised well, we had very informative guides, and a great driver. If you like adventure I’d definitely recommend. Thanks again guys.
I did the 3 day 2 night Bromo and Ijen tour after recommendations from some friends of mine and was blown away, not only by the scenery but also by the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff and guides! I was able to organize my tour from Java instead of Bali with no hassle and having a tour which included all the major costs was so worth it! I’m not usually one to pay more to do a tour, but having been there and seen the number of hoops you have to jump through and different things you need to pay for, it was so worth it to pay the sum up front. At Bromo, our guide knew where to take us to get away from the holiday crowds and at Ijen, our guides had a professional system where one guide would go with the fastest hikers and the other would go as slow as the slowest needed to. 100% recommend!
Breathtaking volcano tour! We went on a two-day volcano tour to Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen through Pierrick/ Indotravelteam in Nov 2017. We flew from Bali to Malang/ Java where a friendly driver picked us up for a safe drive to Bromo, our first stop. (Flying to Surabaya is also feasible, the driving time to Bromo is ~4h in both cases.) Our group included three adults and one 10-year old. The guides were very professional and organized safe and well-paced climbs, whilst taking good care of the kid. Also, they tried to take us to some of the less crowded spots and gave some interesting info on the history and cultural impacts of the volcanoes. The views, sceneries, and ambiance of both spots were stunning. The Bromo plateau makes for some fascinating desert-like mood. The Bromo volcano itself constantly rumbles from its steep crater and will definitely get you some goosebumps. Climbing Mount Ijen and descending to its crater takes about 3-4 hours but is easy for moderately fit people. In the crater, breathtaking (literally – the guides will give you gas masks) fumes from glowing sulfur vents make an out-of-this-world atmosphere. Their spooky peculiarity is only surpassed by that of the 1-6 m high blue flames that burn on top of the sulfur vents. An experience we never had before!
Trip de 3j au top! Pierrick est très conciliant et professionnel pour trouver des solutions à tous les problèmes et irka son assistante est juste hyper gentille! Ricki comme guide au bromo et hary et poor a ijen sont vraiment des passionnés qui arrivent à vous transmettre tous leurs savoirs! J en garde un énorme souvenir et une multitude de photos!!!
