About this tour
A 2-day volcano tour from Bali combining Mount Ijen's sulfurous blue flames and crater lake with Mount Bromo's sunrise views. You'll trek Ijen at night to witness the blue fire phenomenon, sleep at a mountain hotel, then wake before dawn to catch Bromo's landscape as the sun rises. Includes private 4WD transport, guide, one night's accommodation and breakfast, but demands solid fitness and an early start on day two.
Highlights
- Trek Mount Ijen at night to see rare blue flames and sulphuric crater lake
- Watch Mount Bromo sunrise from the volcanic landscape with professional guide
- Private 4WD jeep with experienced driver for both volcano regions
- One night mountain hotel accommodation and breakfast included
- Gas mask, headlamp, and health certificate provided for safety
- Round-trip ferry tickets to Bali included; drop-off options in Surabaya or Malang
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Bali location and driven to Mount Ijen, where you begin a night trek equipped with headlamp and gas mask to witness the blue flames around the crater and sulphuric lake — a 1–2 hour walk depending on fitness. After descending, you'll drive to the Mount Bromo area and rest overnight at a hotel. Day two starts well before dawn with an early pickup for the drive to Bromo's viewpoint, where you'll watch the sunrise illuminate the volcanic landscape and surrounding peaks as your guide provides local context.
The full itinerary spans roughly 30–36 hours. Transport is air-conditioned between sites. Breakfast is provided on day two; bring cash for other meals, snacks and any extras like horse riding at Bromo (optional, separate cost).

Good to know

It's not suitable for pregnant travellers or anyone with cardiovascular concerns; you'll need moderate-to-good fitness for two treks at elevation with uneven terrain. The night trek to Ijen involves steep sections and low visibility despite headlamps. Bromo's sunrise requires a very early wake-up (typically 2–3 a.m.). Weather can be cold and windy at altitude; bring warm layers. Group size isn't specified. All meals except breakfast are extra; horse riding at Bromo costs around IDR 300,000 more. Insurance and fuel surcharge are included; ferry tickets cover your return to Bali.
