After an early wake-up call and breakfast, a four-wheel drive vehicle carries you through the rural villages, coffee and clove plantations and then into one of Java’s last rainforests. Humidity, wildlife, giant ferns and big trees cover the slope of the mountain, ending at the Park Ranger’s station to begin the hike to Ijen Crater, along a shady track with spectacular views. The stunning view is unveiled at the peak of 2380 meters above sea level. The lakes eerie color and smoke wafting from bright yellow sulfur deposits creates a landscape that looks desolate and barren yet vibrantly alive. As the scene unfurls before you, miners do their daily descend into the crater, re-emerging with up to 80 kilos of ore carried in bamboo baskets along the treacherous path. Once you’re finished you will walk down the mountain and be brought back to your hotel. Later on you will go from Ijen to Bali. On the way, enjoy the view of small cities before approaching the harbour to board a ferry that will take you across the sea and into the island of Bali within 30-45 minutes. Continue to drive by land until you reach your destination. End of service.
