24h trip to Kawah Ijen from Bali

Kawah Ijen is a spectacular stratovolcano located on the border of Banyuwangi and Bondowoso Regencies, in East Java, Indonesia. Its peak stands at 2,799 meters above sea level, and it has become one of the most iconic and Instagram-worthy destinations in Southeast Asia.

🏞 Why Visit Kawah Ijen?

Kawah Ijen is famous for several reasons:

• Its turquoise acidic crater lake, one of the largest of its kind in the world.

• The rare “Blue Fire” phenomenon, only visible in two places on Earth (the other being Iceland).

• The majestic sunrise views over the volcanic landscape.

• An authentic encounter with sulfur miners, who carry up to 90kg of sulfur up steep trails.

It’s a destination that combines natural wonder, geological rarity, and cultural richness—making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

🌋 What Is the Blue Fire?

The blue fire is caused by sulfuric gases that ignite upon contact with oxygen at temperatures up to 600°C (1,112°F). These flames can reach heights of up to 5 meters. The phenomenon occurs naturally from cracks in the volcano’s surface and is best viewed between 2:00 AM – 4:00 AM before sunrise.

Alongside the flames, you’ll also witness molten red sulfur flowing and cooling into brilliant yellow solid forms—then harvested by local miners.

🚐 How to Get to Kawah Ijen from Bali

Your journey begins in Bali, where our Ijen Expedition Tour team will pick you up from:

• Denpasar Airport

• Kuta

• Ubud

• Sanur

• Or any location of your choice

You’ll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to Gilimanuk Harbor, on the western tip of Bali, and then take a 1-hour ferry across to Ketapang Harbor, Banyuwangi in East Java.

Important Time Note: Java uses WIB (Western Indonesian Time), which is 1 hour behind Bali time.

🥾 The Ijen Hiking Experience

From Paltuding Basecamp, you’ll begin your hike around 1:00 AM. The trek to the crater rim takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, passing through scenic forest paths and volcanic terrain.

From the rim, a 45-minute descent into the crater (with gas masks provided) will bring you to the Blue Fire zone. After enjoying the mesmerizing flames, you’ll hike back up in time for a breathtaking sunrise overlooking the sulfur lake.

The lake is approximately 200 meters deep, with a pH level of around 0.5, making it one of the most acidic bodies of water in the world. You’ll also see remnants of a historic Dutch-era dam built to control the overflow of crater water.
