Mount Ijen Crater Tour From Ubud Bali

Posted By : malenas873
I did the mount Ijen trip with my boyfriend, and it surpassed all expectations. From the seamless organization to the impeccable service, we were amazed every step of the way. It all started with our very nice and careful driver, who picked us up early and made sure we were alright all the way. Huge thank you to you Gede! From being picked up at our hostel to the ferry ride to Java and throughout our stay, we felt well taken care of. Our tour guide at the mountain, Gun, was truly exceptional, making our experience unforgettable. The sights, especially the breathtaking blue fire and the turquoise lake, left us in awe. We even had the privilege of enjoying them without the usual crowds, making it even more special. This trip was an absolute highlight, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable adventure.

What a trip! Started with pick up at Ubud with our amazing driver Komang which was very attentive to our needs all the way to the boat. It is a long drive but traffic was on our side around 4 hours. Once there we were helped by a lady to cross to Java. Once there we had the friendly Andrew and Ismail who were the best! They took us to get the medical letter and to the mountain tracking start point. we had some coffee and we begin the tracking with our guide Reza. The tracking is more difficult than expected but 200% worth it. Even if not a weekend day it was busy but thanks to our guide we got ahead and had time to see the blue fire as well as the sunrise on top of the mountain. Our guide was so attentive as the way down to the blue flame can be challenging. If you listen to him no issues safety was. He took some nice pictures and we had a really good time. The return down is not easy. I think you need a good fitness level but some people offer carry up and down service for people that struggles so everyone can access.
Overall we had everything included from breakfast (they gave us vegetarian but you need to ask before hand) to water and coffees and entry fees and boat ride. I recommend the private tour like we did for a better experience. Terima Kasih to all the amazing guides and drivers that gave us this experience.

Amazing service, everyone took well care of us and everything followed the line up.
Our drivers were good and so was our guide. We were by the blue fire on a good time and were able to walk up to see the amazing sunrise! Recommend!

Normally I don’t write reviews but this time I really feel like I should write it. I bought package from Bali included driver from Bali to ferry, someone who will take care of me on ferry Bali to Java, driver on Java, guide on Mt Ijen and breakfast.
Driver who took me 4 hours from Ubud to Bali and back was lovely polite guy, he was on time both ways, I wish all good to him.
Then some lady took me on ferry from Bali to Java at night time, on ferry there was a lot of men who kept harasing me, taking pictures and video of me, getting close to me, I felt the worst I felt during my two months in indonesia, the lady was sitting in front of me and she could hear everything but she was pretending like nothing is going on.
When we arrived to Java new driver picked me up and we went to pick up other 10 people from hostels in Java to mt Ijen, all good, he was sometimes confused where to pick up people but I can totaly understand it can happen, soon we arrived to Mt Ijen base camp.
We got our guide Suki who should be our guide to Mt Ijen, but he didn’t care at all. He was explaing important things about gas masks when some people were in toilet (he knew they were on toilet), he kept saying what is not his responsibilies and soon we start to hike. From the begining he push very very fast tempo, I am in very good shape and I couldn‘t catch them. Imagine hundreds of people climbing same way and your guide starts almost running, me and some other people got totaly lost. Yes of course there is milion people so you know which way you should go, but you could see others guides making sure that they have all of theirs people from their group, taking breaks, taking care of them, but not our guide, he was just running like we are in some race, then we havent seen him for realy long time. We met him only in crater where he pushed us to take picktures with blue flame and than we saw him again on the top of the mountain when he pushed us again to take pictures. During all track we have no idea when to put masks on or not, because we dont have our guide, it was very stresfull. Since I arrived to indonesia I was suprised how awesome and caring these tour guids are, but not this one.
I had breakfast inclued- they gave me noodles and chicken, I am vegetarian so I couldn’t eat it, again it can happen, no bad feelings about it. Just info for vegetarian to bring your own food.
Overall organisation good, drivers good, Mt Ijen guide and ''ferry lady'' horrible. Mt Ijen is beautiful and everybody should do it one time.
Trekking poles cost 25 000/per one, glasess 25 000/ per one, before you start you can use toiletes for 5 000, and buy some tea, coffee, food.
Hike is not easy but I would say it is also not so difficult as some people say, if you are used to do hikes no worries. If you are not uses to hike it can be difficult espesialy part when you go down to see blue fire, you can also take ‚‘taxi‘ and they can také you on the top of vulcano.

We really enjoyed our trip to Ijen - it was a once in a lifetime experience. Going with Como Bali Tour from Bali was by far the most efficient and cost effective way to do this. It was very well organised, communication before hand was great. We were picked up from our hotel at 6pm (would recommend this over 7pm as the traffic can be quite bad and we were tight on time getting to our ferry), travelled across to Ijen and trekked from around 2am to see the blue flame and then sunrise over the lake, before travelling back to our hotel (arriving around 4pm the next day). Our guide Goon was brilliant - so knowledgeable and supportive. The other members of the team (drivers etc) were also lovely.

I am really glad we went but there were a few things we weren't prepared for (nothing to do with Como Bali Tour group) that I wish I'd know before we went. Anyone with average fitness and a decent pair of shoes will manage the trek fine but its super busy (even in low season) and there are quite a few tourists in ridiculous footwear (including flip-flops) who really struggled with the rocky path particularly descending into the crater. People are prepared to get really close to the flames and its a bit of a bottleneck as the crowds accumulate in the crater, that gets increasingly frenzied as the sun starts to come up and the chance of seeing blue flames diminishes. It feels a bit unsafe at times - you can take measures to mitigate this by bringing a decent pair of trainers and not getting swept up in the rush. Despite all of this we are glad we went and had a totally unique experience.
