1.Banyuwangi/Bali: Ijen Volcano Midnight Blue Fire Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 854 reviews · from $15Our pick

Join QimQim and his local team for a midnight Mount Ijen hike from Banyuwangi, with Bali pickup available. Walk under headlamp, look for the rare blue fire from the permitted viewpoint, watch sunrise over the turquoise crater lake, and warm up with tea or coffee.

“We had the best trip to Ijen with Qim Qim and his wonderful team. They are super friendly, always in a good mood and attentive to everyone‘s needs. We were the first group down in the crater which was really great since a ton of people came later and it was super crowded then. And we got to experience the sunrise on the top of the crater, with some hot tea and lots of interesting facts about Ijen, the miners, blue fire and the acidic crater. We would gladly do the tour with Qim Qim and his great team again, it was one of the best experiences ever!!”

“We attended the Ijen Crater Blue Fire tour. From start to finish, the tour was well-organised, punctual and professional. The guides prioritised our safety. The company was highly responsive in communication via WhatsApp, answered all our questions, and even accommodated us when we were running late from our commute over from Bali. Our trekking guide, Suleiman, made the trek enjoyable due to his great personality and sense of humour. He briefed us well on what to expect during each part of the trek, including dangers and difficult parts.”
