Mount Ijen Sunrise Hike from Banyuwangi

Enjoy a breathtaking morning trek to Mount Ijen’s crater rim. Perfect for travellers who prefer daylight adventures over midnight hikes.

Mount Ijen Sunrise Hike from Banyuwangi


✨ Why Choose the Ijen Sunrise Tour?

Not everyone is eager to start hiking at midnight. Fortunately, the Ijen Sunrise Tour offers a more relaxed option. You’ll begin just before dawn, hiking up to the crater rim to watch the sun rise over one of the most surreal landscapes in Indonesia.

Instead of battling the early hours to catch the blue fire, you’ll enjoy peaceful trails and panoramic views. You still get to witness the turquoise acid lake and see local sulfur miners at work from above.
