exhausting trip / exhausting trip
Warning: This trip is exhausting. Also too expencive. I would suggest not to do it in this way of travelling. overnight trip means - you have no sleep, but walking the night through until the next day // This trip is not recommended from Bali! You are picked up by car around 6 pm, then it goes through the night without sleep until the next day 12 pm you are at the ferry, then on to the destination. A real gate tour. From the ferry in Java you stand without information and first have to find the way yourself in the middle of the night. We were unfortunately also traveling at a time after Ramadan/holidays, i.e. everything was super crowded, night with flashlight (which was not loaded properly) due to the crowding with debris down the rock - also quite dangerous. For all the stress also much too overpriced about this way offered here -not recommended.

I’ll definitely come back again at the end of this month
i had one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life on this trip to mount Ijen. I joined the tour in March, everything was so well organized from the start😍😍 we began our journey with a ferry ride, which was calm and gave us a nice view of the ocean.

Disappointing at best
I’m surprised by all the positive reviews here. I don’t think the trip was worth the money at all. The views of the volcano are quite nice, but there were no blue flames and the lake was barely visible. I suppose that it is not dependent on the organizers, but it’s worth to know that this might happen. What is dependent on organizers is the rest - which was not worth the money at all: the transport which was not the best (the guides were not exactly speaking English, the cars were not in the best condition, one of them didn’t even have AC which again in Bali/Java temperatures for this amount of money is rather disappointing, one was making whistling noise for 4 straight hours), the incredible incredible crowds (there were like literally hundreds people, someone from organizers quoted 600 people - unless you can walk a bit faster and take over the massive amounts of people you’re gonna get stuck walking one over another in a peak-hours-metro-kinda crowd). Overall you can take wayyy cheaper trips on Bali for more pleasant trips for other volcanos. I would skip this one.

Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali cost?
+
Prices start at $88 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 Ubud is not rushed.
Is Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali?
+
Around 5 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 Ubud 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 Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Overnight Mount Ijen Blue Fire Trekking Tour From Bali 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 Ubud 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 Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). 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 Ubud?
+
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 Ubud?
+
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.
