About this tour

Experience the magic of East Java with our Ijen Crater Private Trip, designed to give you front-row access to the world-famous blue fire phenomenon. Visible only at night, this natural wonder is one of just two places on earth where you can witness such a spectacle, making it a must-see for adventurers worldwide.

Your journey begins in Banyuwangi, where we’ll meet you at your hotel or another agreed location. From there, you’ll trek through the rugged volcanic terrain to reach the crater rim. Along the way, discover the turquoise crater lake, feel the energy of the volcano, and observe the resilience of local sulfur miners who work in one of the most extreme environments on earth.

At Reswara X-Plore, we believe travel should be personal and memorable. That’s why our Private Trip Ijen is tailored to your pace, letting you avoid the crowds and fully immerse in the moment. Whether you’re here to capture breathtaking photos, witness the unique blue flames, or embrace the raw beauty of nature, this exclusive adventure is crafted just for you.

A private trip means the journey is designed only for you (and your group). No strangers, no rushing. Everything is flexible and tailored to your preferences.

Absolutely! We offer fully customizable tour packages to match your travel style, schedule, and preferences. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a photography trip, our team is ready to help craft the perfect itinerary.
Got special requests or questions? Just let us know—we’re here to make your Bromo experience unforgettable.

Your tour guide will reach out on the day of your trip, typically a few hours before pickup time. Communication is done via WhatsApp, depending on your preference.
Feel free to confirm your contact details in advance to ensure a smooth experience. We're always here to help if you need assistance before the guide gets in touch.

Travel insurance is not mandatory, but we highly recommend it for your peace of mind. A good policy can cover:

  • Trip cancellations or delays
  • Medical expenses during travel
  • Lost or damaged personal belongings

It’s a small step that can make a big difference—especially when exploring natural destinations.

Nights on the volcano can be chilly, so layer up with warm clothing. Sturdy hiking shoes are a must for the rocky trail, and you’ll be glad to have a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sunrise. Don’t forget a camera for those once‑in‑a‑lifetime shots, plus a few light snacks to keep your energy up.

For the clearest skies and best chance of seeing the blue flame, aim for the dry months between May and September. Conditions are usually crisp and dry — perfect for both trekking and photography.

We’d rate it as moderate. The ascent is roughly 3 km and usually takes 1.5–2 hours to reach the crater rim. A decent level of fitness helps you enjoy the climb, and pacing yourself makes the journey more rewarding.

There’s no strict age rule, but the trail can be tough for very young children or older participants. Anyone under 12 should be accompanied by an adult for safety.
