Unique experience
5/5 for the tour! Our guide Sanam had made the trip to Ijen crater a unique experience. He expertly showed us around, took the time to make sure we were okay, and combined it all with great humor. Our tour started with him around 2am. He had the appropriate masks and even flashlights for us. Down in the crater was a lot of smoke, so Sanamn took our phone to take appropriate photos of the Blue Fire. Back to the top of the crater he waited with us until we could see the beautiful turquoise lake with only a few clouds. Sanam gave us freedom but took care of all our needs. In addition, he took great pictures for us and with him. The best guide, Highly recommended!

IJEN EXPEDITION TOUR After much researching and emailing back and forward we decided to book with this tour as they were efficient with email responses and informative. They planned around our needs so we booked a 4 day/3 night trip and had the pleasure of Agus as our guide and Addi as our driver. It was an amazing tour which got better and better as each day went on. We got picked up at Malang train station from our extraordinarily early train time arrival at 4.30 am and we went straight to Tumpak Sewu waterfall. (See review separately) we stayed at the home stay which was basic but comfy for what you need... and we needed sleep. Lovely sound of chickens, rooster, birds etc. Slept great and had a nice hearty fried rice brekkie. We had time to go back to the view point for the waterfall in the morning at sunrise and witness the great Semeru mountain doing its often daily puff of eruption! Awesome! With the waterfall and mist in the foreground, this was a magnificent view. Next we drove to Bromo. It took about 4 -5 hours and we arrived at the next hotel (Oyo chain) which was about 30 Mins from King Kong Mountain View point at sunrise. Our lovely guides took us for a sunset view and drone photography chance over Bromo. The hotel was unfortunately very noisy that particular night with a group of guests so sleep was difficult..this was out of the hands of our tour guides but nevertheless the next morning at 3 am we headed off to see bromo sunrise and hike up the crater. Our guide was very attentive, ensuring we had the views we wanted and helped secure an area for the drone we wanted to take off and safely land. Agus was particularly great for taking photos too. We had lots of fun with him and he easily chatted with us. After hiking the crater we went for brekkie at the hotel and set off on another long car journey to Ijen.. arriving about 6 hours later with chances to stop for toilet breaks or snacks if needed. This hotel was outstanding. Hotel grand harvest resort and villas. There were pools and a luxurious room.. but we had an early rise at 12.30 am so couldn’t really enjoy. But this was such a comfy and unexpected accommodation we slept soundly. At 12.45 we headed off to Ijen in a land cruiser. The hike up to the top of the crater wasn’t easy but Agus kept us upbeat and we made it in good time. Heading down the mine path was tricky at times and Agus guided us expertly, taking time to make sure we were ok as at this point the smoke off the sulphur was quiet toxic (we had our gas masks on). The smoke was too much at the bottom so the blue flames were difficult to see so again Agus took my phone and went to get some photos for me..it was too dangerous for tourists to go near due to the wind blowing smoke. He got some incredible shots for us. Back up the crater and again With gentle guidance as there was a lot of people coming down still and such a narrow, winding pathway up. Then for my highlight.. the sunrise over Ijen with the lovely turquoise lake and clouds. Truly the ultimate scene of the trip! Such a highlight! Agus snd Addi were amazing throughout. They stopped at any point to take a photo or get some snacks along the way. They gave us space but took care of our needs throughout. Highly recommended! Amazing trip!

Impressive tour with good guide
Some days before our departure we booked the sunrise tour from Banyuwangi to Kawah Ijen. Our guide, Anam, was good on time to pick us up at our hotel with his driver. Anam was really friendly and helpful and showed us the best spots for the blue fire, the sunrise, to take pictures,.... We absomutely recommend you to book a tour via ijenexpedition.com.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuta.
How much does Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day cost?
+
Prices start at $374 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuta is not rushed.
Is Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kuta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuta and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kuta?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ubud Private Tour Rice Terraces Temples Waterfalls., Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking Private Tour with Breakfast and Hotel Transfer, Private Tour Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking and Natural Hot Spring. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kuta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kuta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day?
+
Included: Private transportation; fery ticket; entrance ticket; breakfast; and trekking guide. Not included: tiping guide and driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 104 listed pickup locations in and around Kuta. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Ijen Crater Tour From Bali 1 Day if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
