Do you have a plan to visit Bali? It is an enchanting island, boasts a plethora of attractions that can make it challenging to experience everything it has to offer. One of its most thrilling highlights is the opportunity to hike to its renowned active volcanoes, including Mount Batur, Mount Bratan, and the occasionally disruptive Mount Agung.
For a truly awe-inspiring experience, consider arranging a Mount Ijen crater tour, also known as the Kawah Ijen Crater. This destination is truly extraordinary, showcasing the world’s largest acid lake and the exclusive phenomenon of natural ‘blue fire.’

The Beauty of Kawah Ijen Crater
Kawah Ijen Crater is renowned for its unique blue fire and claims fame as the home of the world’s largest acid lake. However, its allure extends beyond these distinctive features, encompassing a captivating landscape with numerous other volcanoes and hills. While the hike offers breathtaking views, we don’t recommend this tour for the faint-hearted people.
Starting from the hike’s commencement, it takes about one hour to reach the base camp of Kawah Ijen. From there, you need to take two hours more to get to the peak of the Mount. It’s essential to note that the ascent is quite steep. Upon reaching the summit, our guide will advise you to wear your gas mask to shield your lungs from sulfuric gas.
Once at the top, there’s the option to descend into the crater, although the descent is steep. Around 4 am is considered the optimal time to reach the acid lake, offering a chance to witness the mesmerizing natural display of the blue fire. As the sun typically begins to rise at approximately 5:30 am, securing a favorable viewing spot is advisable to fully savor the spectacle.
