“What an amazing experience climbing two volcanoes: Mount Bromo and Ijen. Both hikes were very different, but equally impressive and well organized. The guides Alex, Mr. Azari, and Yana truly made the tour special. Their involvement, positive attitude, and great sense of humor created a relaxed and fun atmosphere, even during the more challenging parts of the climbs. They knew exactly how to motivate the group, give clear explanations, and make everyone feel comfortable. The group itself was also a big highlight. You start the tour with people you don’t know, but quickly form a great connection. By the end, it was actually hard to say goodbye, which says a…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 143 reviews · 3 days · from $338

Travel privately from Bali to Java with an English-speaking guide, ferry crossing, Bromo sunrise, a 240-step crater climb, and a night hike at Ijen for blue flames. Guides such as Made Cheng, Adi, Erick, and Chung are often assigned, but the exact team depends on availability.

“The tour was excellent. Lots of driving but worth it to see beautiful sites in Java and learn about Indonesian culture that we wouldn’t have known if we stayed in Bali for our entire trip. Our guide was Adi and he strived to make us comfortable the entire time. He bent over backwards and showed us hospitality even with early wake ups and driving over 24hr in a three day period. It was absolutely worth it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 99 reviews · 3 days · from $345

“The overall trip was amazing. Our guide (Nasir Anang Wijaya) was fantastic. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. If you can request Nasir for your tour you absolutely should! The only suggestion I would make to improve on the whole experience was that for Ijen if you are aiming to see the blue flames you should request the hotel that is closer to the mountain. It will save 2 hours overnight so that you can start the climb a bit earlier. While this isn’t a big problem during off season, it is during peak. Additionally, we had a separate guide for the climb up Ijen (Haqim) who…”

“A very scenic journey through two volcanic hiking trails with incredible views and emotions. Mealtimes were delicious—we had lunch and dinner on the first day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the second, and breakfast and dinner on the third. The Bromo hike started early in the morning, and it seemed that only IndoTravelTeam used that route to meet the sunrise because we were alone at the top of the Bromo volcano. The accommodation was quite simple but had everything needed before the volcano hike. The Kawah Ijen hike was quite challenging, but our local guides did everything they could to make it easier. They are professional photographers and took great…”

The people we met along the way - who were also crazy enough to go through with this - were amazing too! Accommodation on the 2nd night was shared but clean and comfortable. My sister and I had to leave earlier for our flight and they arranged it for us seamlessly (with extra costs of course). To be honest, it was a really tiring trip with minimal sleep and long travel times were long but this was what we signed up for and we have…”
