19:00-22:00 Drive to Gilimanuk port.

22:30 Ferry crossing to Java. Set your clocks one hour back, as Java is in a different time zone.

22:30-01:30 Transfer to the trailhead through stunning landscapes. We will stop at a local cafe for a hot cup of coffee* and warm up by the fire before the ascent.

01:30-01:40 Trekking preparation. Pre-ascent briefing, distribution of flashlights, trekking pole, and protective masks.

01:40 - 03:30/04:00 We set off to conquer the active volcano Ijen. The moderately challenging ascent follows a well-maintained trail and takes approximately 1.5-2.5 hours. If you prefer not to walk, local porters can carry you to the top for about 800 000 IDR.

03:30-04:30 Descent into the crater. Witness the unique natural phenomenon — the blue fire, visible only at night.

04:45-05:45 Climb back out of the crater.

06:00 We greet the sunrise at the crater rim of this mighty volcano, taking stunning photos against the backdrop of the turquoise lake, mountains, and sulfur deposits.

07:00 We head back to the starting point (about 45 minutes). Along the way, breathtaking views of mountains and eastern Java unfold before us.

08:00 Breakfast*.
