Tour Information
What Makes the Mount Ijen Blue Flame Special?
Long before dawn breaks, natural combustion of high-temperature sulfur gases creates a dazzling electric-blue flame inside the crater. Because this phenomenon is only visible in complete darkness, a midnight trek is mandatory.
As daylight arrives, the landscape transforms, revealing a breathtaking view of the world's largest acidic turquoise crater lake framed by rugged volcanic cliffs. Along the way, you will also witness the resilience of local miners harvesting pure sulfur blocks from the active crater.
