Overview
Explore one of Indonesia's great natural wonders, the 'Blue Volcano' known locally as Kawah Ijen, a spectacular volcano that has stunningly deep blue lava, thanks to its incredibly high levels of sulfur, causing blue flames to rise into the air.
Travelling from Bali to Java by ferry with an experienced local guide, we explore the local villages of the Osing peoples, whose roots reach back centuries in southeast Java. Explore vibrant local markets and colourful Chinese temples on your way to Ijen crater on foot and four wheel drive, where you will see spectacular panoramic views of the crater and lake.
