Volcano Wonders & Midnight Treks
After an evening pickup in Bali (~18:00), you’ll make your way to Java via ferry and drive toward the Ijen area. Around midnight, begin the trek to Ijen’s crater rim to see the electric blue flames and sunrise over the turquoise lake—equipped with headlamps and gas masks. Descend for a hearty local breakfast before traveling to Bromo region. Overnight in a hotel near Bromo.
Next, a pre-dawn 4WD jeep ride brings you to the Penanjakan viewpoint for sunrise over Bromo, Mt Batok, Semeru, and the Sea of Sand. After exploring the crater on foot and optionally riding a horse, return for breakfast, and head back to Bali by ferry.
