JAVA

Baluran National Park Tour & Mt Ijen

  • 2 Days
  • Wildlife
  • Easy-Moderate

The Ijen mountain, located in East Java, is ideal for both day and night hiking trips. During the day, your journey will leave you in awe with an ever-so-tranquil, blue sapphire-colored lake inside of a crater, not to mention the surreal yellow-colored path on the way there that puffs out sulfur clouds. However, when the clock strikes 00:00 local time, the darkness sets, and the sky starts to twinkle, the nature is finally ready for its blue fire show.

            This rare natural phenomenon, where hikers can witness the electric blue fire trickling down the mountainside, glowing against the night sky, exists only in one other place in the world besides Ijen. This wonderfully surreal sight is definitely worth the journey.

This trip is the right match for the curious and the adventurous, who want something a bit more than just leisure hikes.  Surely all hikers will be provided with gas masks and other safety precautions to keep hikers out of danger.    

For those of you who seek to live to the fullest, this might just be your answer.
