Mount Ijen Crater Adventure
Mount Ijen Crater Adventure Overview
Here’s a snapshot of our journey as we leave Bali and venture into East Java for an unforgettable adventure:
Day 1: Travel to Banyuwangi
Day 2: Explore Mount Ijen + Return to Bali
One of East Java’s most spectacular natural landmarks, the Ijen Crater attracts visitors from around the world. The journey passes through coffee and clove plantations near Licin village and into one of Java’s last remaining forests.
From the park ranger’s station, a scenic trail leads to the crater rim at 2,883 meters, revealing a stunning turquoise lake surrounded by bright yellow sulfur deposits and drifting volcanic smoke.
Visitors can also observe local miners carrying up to 80 kilograms of sulfur from the crater, an extraordinary display of endurance and tradition.
