Mount Ijen Crater Tour From Ubud Bali

10/10 unforgettable experience

We recently did the Ubud to Kawah Ijen trip and it exceeded all expectations from start to finish. Our driver, Dek, made the journey so easy — smooth, relaxed, and well organised the whole way. When we reached the ferry crossing, a porter helps you cross the ferry. On the other side, our second driver took us up to the mountain and was brilliant — friendly, safety-conscious, and clearly experienced with the route up to Ijen. They help you get the medical certificate on the way and that's all organised too and takes five minutes. A highlight was our guide Sugi, who led us on the trek up the mountain to see the famous blue flames. Sugi was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we felt safe and supported the entire way, especially navigating the trickier sections in the dark near the gas and flames. Seeing the blue flames up close was unforgettable, and Sugi's guidance made the whole experience even more special. The blue flames are unreal, and also seeing the gas lume in the dark was intimidating at first but really cool when you're close. The sunrise was probably the best view I have ever seen. You see the sunrise break over the horizon to reveal the blue coast and jungle shoreline and then you just turn to your right and you can see the acidic lake, sulfur gas plume, and volcanoes in the background with the moon still out. It's unreal. From the driver, to the porter, to the second driver, and finally Sugi's expert guiding — every part of this trip was seamless and well looked after. Couldn't recommend it more highly. Note - it's obviously exhausting by the end of it since you're coming from Ubud and it's a 22 hour round trip and around 24,000 steps, but if you're up for adventure it's worth it.

Response from the operator: Dear Rhys, Thank you so much for shared your experience at Mount Ijen tour from Bali that's was amazing volcano tour you did from Bali to Ijen Volcano. Best Regard, Wayan

Amazing Ijen Hike

Our tour guide Jai was amazing . He was energetic and brought our spirits up during the hike . He was very attentive to all of us and helped us during the hike whenever there were slippery moments as it was raining during our hike . His energy made the hike a lot more easier and fun! The drivers were also amazing and there was a driver from UBUD to the port , and then another driver to the health certificate and the beginning of the hike of ijen. All the drivers were so lovely and friendly with a lovely smile on their face . Jai also stopped at many picture points and would take lots of pictures and videos for us without asking. Thank you for this amazing experience , I would definitely recommend if you’re fit and healthy !

Do it!!!

We had the sweetest driver Dewa, who took us from Canggu to the harbor. Awesome guy with awesome taste in music. Zai was our guide for the hike up Ijen, and he was also amazing. He took sooo many pictures and videos for us and made a video at the end compiling everything. He’s got TALENT. If you’re wanting to have your own personal professional photographer, go with Zai! Highly recommend this tour and these lovely people.
