All Seminyak Tours & Excursions in 2026

We recently did the Ubud to Kawah Ijen trip and it exceeded all expectations from start to finish. Our driver, Dek, made the journey so easy — smooth, relaxed, and well organised the whole way. When we reached the ferry crossing, a porter helps you cross the ferry. On the other side, our second driver took us up to the mountain and was brilliant — friendly, safety-conscious, and clearly experienced with the route up to Ijen. They help you get the medical certificate on the way and that's all organised too and takes five minutes. A highlight was our guide Sugi, who led us on the trek up the mountain to see the famous blue flames. Sugi was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we felt safe and supported the entire way, especially navigating the trickier sections in the dark near the gas and flames. Seeing the blue flames up close was unforgettable, and Sugi's guidance made the whole experience even more special. The blue flames are unreal, and also seeing the gas lume in the dark was intimidating at first but really cool when you're close. The sunrise was probably the best view I have ever seen. You see the sunrise break over the horizon to reveal the blue coast and jungle shoreline and then you just turn to your right and you can see the acidic lake, sulfur gas plume, and volcanoes in the background with the moon still out. It's unreal. From the driver, to the porter, to the second driver, and finally Sugi's expert guiding — every part of this trip was seamless and well looked after. Couldn't recommend it more highly. Note - it's obviously exhausting by the end of it since you're coming from Ubud and it's a 22 hour round trip and around 24,000 steps, but if you're up for adventure it's worth it.
