DAY 1
🕛 00:00 – 01:00 | Pick-up from Malang City
We’ll pick you up directly from your accommodation in Malang City (hostel, hotel, train station, or bus terminal). Depending on your location, you may be picked up by a shuttle car that takes you to the Bromo basecamp, or in some cases, directly by Jeep. Both options are arranged to ensure a smooth and timely journey. Don’t forget to bring your luggage since the tour will continue to Banyuwangi directly from Mount Bromo.
☕ 01:00 – 02:30 | Rest Stop & Jeep Allocation (if needed)
If arriving by shuttle, you’ll take a short break at our basecamp rest area, where you can stretch, grab a warm drink, and receive a short briefing about the tour. This is also where guests will be assigned to their 4WD Jeeps. If you’re already in a Jeep, you will go directly to Mount Bromo sunrise point.
🌄 02:30 – 05:30 | Sunrise View at Mount Bromo
We’ll drive across the Sea of Sand toward one of the best sunrise viewpoints in the area. Once there, enjoy free time to explore and find the perfect spot as the sky lights up over Mount Bromo, Mount Semeru, and Mount Batok. It’s the highlight moment, don’t forget your camera!
🌋 05:30 – 09:00 | Bromo’s Crater Exploration
After arriving at the Bromo area, continue your adventure to Bromo’s famous crater. From the parking area, walk across the volcanic sand and continue toward the crater. Climb the stairs leading to the crater rim and enjoy the dramatic volcanic landscape from above. Take your time to explore the area, capture photos, and experience the unique atmosphere of Mount Bromo up close.
🚐 09:00 – 17:00 | Go to Cemoro Lawang Basecamp & Transfer to Banyuwangi
After the Bromo adventure ends, we’ll return to Cemoro Lawang basecamp to rest and prepare for departure. Then, you’ll join a shared car transfer directly to Banyuwangi. The scenic journey takes around 6–7 hours, and upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation in Banyuwangi to rest and get ready for the Ijen hike. Arrival is expected in the late afternoon or early evening, depending on traffic and road conditions.
DAY 2
🚐 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.
🎒 01:30 – 02:00 | Arrival at Paltuding & Pre-Hike Preparation
At Paltuding, your guide will give a short safety briefing, distribute your gas mask, headlamp, mineral water, and help you get ready for the trek. Take time to stretch and get used to the cool mountain air. Temperatures can drop at night, so be sure to bring a jacket or warm layers.
🥾 02:00 – 04:00 | Hiking & Blue Fire Experience
We’ll begin the 3 km night hike to the crater rim, surrounded by peaceful forest and starlit skies. Upon reaching the top, the guide will lead you down into the crater to witness the rare Blue Fire, a natural electric-blue flame caused by ignited sulfur gas. This phenomenon is truly unique and best seen before sunrise.
🌅 04:00 – 06:30 | Sunrise at the Crater Rim
After the Blue Fire, climb back to the rim to watch the sunrise over the Ijen crater lake, one of the most surreal landscapes in Indonesia. You’ll have time to enjoy the view, take photos, and soak in the fresh mountain air. Oxygen and first aid are available if needed.
🧭 06:30 – 08:00 | Return Hike & Light Refreshments
We’ll hike back to Paltuding Post, now lit by morning sun, giving you a fresh look at the trail. Once you arrive, please enjoy warm fried bananas that we served. There are lots of available food stalls nearby if you want to get some food and drinks to celebrate the end of your trek.
🚗 08:00 – 09:00 | Return to Banyuwangi
After a short rest, we’ll begin the drive back to your accommodation in Banyuwangi City, arriving around 09:00 AM. The rest of the day is yours to relax, nap, or continue exploring.
