🌋 Private Tour Ijen Blue Fire 1 Day 1 Night from Bali to Bali 🌋

Discover the magical Blue Fire of Mount Ijen on this Private 1 Day 1 Night Tour from Bali, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to one of Indonesia’s most stunning volcanic landscapes. This short but unforgettable trip is perfect for travelers who wish to witness the natural wonder of Ijen without a long stay — starting and finishing conveniently in Bali.

Your journey begins in the evening as our driver picks you up from your hotel in Bali (Ubud, Canggu, Seminyak, or other areas). You will travel to the western tip of Bali, cross the Bali Strait by ferry to Java, and continue driving to Paltuding Base Camp, the starting point of the Ijen trek.

At midnight, the adventure begins. You will hike under a starry sky for about 1.5–2 hours to reach the crater. Deep inside the volcano, you’ll witness the famous Blue Fire phenomenon, a rare sight caused by burning sulfur gases — visible only in a few places on Earth. As dawn breaks, the view transforms dramatically, revealing the turquoise acid lake surrounded by rugged volcanic cliffs.

After sunrise, you’ll meet the local sulfur miners, known for their endurance and strength as they carry heavy loads from the crater floor. The hike down offers plenty of chances to capture the scenic beauty of the Ijen highlands.

Following the trek, enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant before returning to Bali by ferry. You’ll arrive back at your hotel by early afternoon with unforgettable memories of East Java’s most extraordinary adventure.
