DAY 1

🚐 23:00 – 01:30 | Evening Pick-Up & Departure

Your adventure begins with a late-night pick-up between 11:00 PM – 12:00 AM from your accommodation in Banyuwangi City or surrounding areas. After gathering all guests, the driver will make a quick stop at a local health check clinic, where all participants are required to undergo a basic medical check (a local government requirement for Ijen visitors). The process is quick, done together as a group, and costs only IDR 35.000 per person, which you can pay directly to the driver after the check. Once completed, we’ll continue driving up to Paltuding Post, the starting point of the hike.
