Witness one of Earth’s rarest natural wonders – the electric blue flames of Mount Ijen, visible only in two places in the world. Join our guided Ijen Crater Blue Fire Tour and experience this unforgettable night hike’s beauty, challenge, and culture.

Ijen Crater Blue Fire Tour – East Java’s Must-See Wonder


🌋 What Is the Blue Fire at Ijen Crater?

The “blue fire” is a rare natural phenomenon caused by ignited sulfuric gases that emerge from the cracks of Mount Ijen’s crater. When these gases come in contact with air and temperatures exceed 600°C (1,112°F), they combust and produce bright blue flames.

This spectacle is only visible at night, making the midnight hike to the summit of Ijen both thrilling and rewarding. For more scientific insight, see the Wikipedia page on Kawah Ijen.
