Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trek

If witnessing a natural phenomenon under the cloak of night excites you, the Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trek in East Java is a must. This adventure begins with an afternoon pick-up from your Bali hotel, followed by a ferry crossing to Java. Arriving near midnight, you’ll be briefed and equipped before embarking on a guided 3km trek—an invigorating mix of uphill and flat paths—to reach the summit just before dawn.

At the crater rim, catch the mesmerizing blue flames of Mount Ijen, a spectacle visible only in a handful of places worldwide. Along the way, interact with local sulfur miners, learning about their challenging work and traditional techniques. Once daylight breaks, enjoy breakfast with sweeping views of Ijen Crater, Java’s largest acid lake, before descending for a closer look and stunning photo opportunities.

Your trip concludes with a return ferry to Bali, a delicious local lunch, and drop-off at your hotel by late afternoon. The unique selling point? An exclusive opportunity to witness the rare blue fire and engage with sulfur miners—making this trek an unforgettable blend of adventure and authentic local culture.
