Q: How much does it cost to visit Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen) in 2024?

During the week, it costs US$6 to enter the crater. On the weekend, this entrance fee goes up to US$9. Also, 2-day tours of Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen) start from US$175 and typically include accommodation—but you need to depart for the crate in the early hours of the morning.

Q: Can you see the blue flames at Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen) year-round?

While you can see the blue flames at Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen) year-round, the best time to visit is during the dry season (April–October), as this is when the hiking paths surrounding the crater are less slippery. Sometimes, the crater can close unexpectedly if the gasses are too toxic.

Q: What time do tours to Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen) usually start?

You can only see the blue fire during hours of darkness, so tours typically depart from Banyuwangi (the gateway to Ijen Crater) between midnight and 2am, to ensure you see the nocturnal phenomenon. When the sun starts to rise, the bright turquoise crater lake will be revealed in all its acidic glory.

Q: What other attractions are near Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen)?

Other attractions near Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen) include Mt. Merapi, an active volcano, and the Kalipait Waterfall, where you can cool off after your hike. Ijen is at the tip of Java, so it’s just a short boat ride to the Hindu island of Bali, where you’ll find jungle, beaches, and ancient temples.

What are people saying about Ijen Crater (Kawah Ijen)

Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N

Utku_B, Jun 2024

Very well and professionally organized, amazing java tour

I couldnt ask for anything more from a privately organized tour in Java. Due to the nature of the activities, you always wake up very early and spend a lot of time travelling from one place to another by car or train, but every thing was very well structured. Both of our drivers were extremely kind, all the hotels were clean and well located. The tour includes most of "must do/see" in central and east java. Truly amazing!

Guided Tour to Ijen Crater Blue Fire

Tara_M, Oct 2025

A Charmed Adventure

Gun was an incredible guide who went above and beyond during my Ijen hike. As someone who isn’t very fit, I was nervous about the steep, slippery terrain—but Gun made sure I felt safe and supported every step of the way. He patiently helped me stay with the group, guided me up and down difficult sections (even holding my hand when needed), and took amazing photos that captured the experience beautifully. Thanks to his kindness and care, what I expected to be a challenge turned into an unforgettable adventure. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Ijen Crater Tour

Sophie_G, Oct 2025

This was one of the...

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Java and an absolutely unforgettable experience. Both the blue fire and view from the crater rim were incredible, and even more special due to the unique time of day! Our driver Riko and guide Ekshal were both excellent. Ekshal was good at looking after our family, going at our pace, and was assertive but not pushy in situations when we were trying to get down to see the blue fire in time or trying to get closer to take photos (as there are hundreds of other people all jostling to see it too). Be aware that it's about 10km hiking all up (unless you get a lift in one of the trolley carts) - 3.5km uphill to the crater rim, about 1km down a very narrow rocky track to the blue fire, 1km back up, another 1km to and from another lookout point on the rim, then 3.5km back down. Due to the steep track up and down, I would only undertake it with a reasonable level of fitness and no major health issues as it would be hard to get out with the crowds if something goes wrong. We took a 10 year old and 13 year old who could both manage the walking easily, but found the sulphur smoke/fumes a bit scary as it stings your eyes if you don't turn away. But they definitely enjoyed the experience too. Our driver also helped us buy tickets to the Ketapang ferry which we really appreciated.

Amazing views at Mt Bromo and Ijen

It was a wonderful journey. Our tour guide Baroni was superb so did our tour driver mas Anton. We took many photos at Mt Bromo and Ijen. Our hiking to Ijen was challenging yet with the help from our guide mr. John Rahmat, everything was fine. The views at Mt Bromo and Ijen were amazing and we would like to come again whenever we have a chance. Cheers.

This tour of the waterfall and the two volcanoes was both extremely impressive and adventurous. We would do it again in exactly the same way.
