Overview
Mount Bromo is very special with the spectacular sunrise panorama. Landscape of Mount Bromo, Mount Batok, and Mount Semeru that stand side by side at Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Mount Ijen is about 200km further east and involves a night hike up. Once you make it into the volcano, you will see the blue flames (only visible before sunrise) and see the most acidic lake in the world. You will meet the miners, they are the strong local villagers who work at night to collect sulfur using very low safety gear standard. They risk themselves carrying 60-80 kilograms of sulfur down the mountain twice a day and the income they get depends on how many kilograms of sulfur they can bring down. After the sunrise, Ijen Crater turns into a fantastic volcano that you will always remember. The acidic turquoise lake, the truly exotic volcanic rugged cliffs, the smoke of sulfur and the ambitious miners, all these combinations may make you more grateful for your life.

- Mount Bromo and Cemoro Lawang can be pretty chilly before sunrise since theyâre 2,329 meters (7,641 ft) above sea level,the elevation at the viewpoint is a whopping 2,770 meters (9,088 ft). Temperatures can drop below 7 Celsius (45 F), and that doesnât even factor in wind chill. It can get incredibly windy on the mountain peaks, and dry season is cooler than rainy season. However, youâll only be chilly before sunrise. After that it warms up pretty quick, and the sun at this elevation is plenty strong.
- we can't guarantee that the sunrise at Bromo will be spectacular, because the weather and natural conditions can't be predicted

- Your guide at Bromo and Ijen is a different person
- When you decide to see the blue fire, descend 800 meters with steep conditions up to a 45 degree incline, the path to the bottom of the crater will be rocky and narrow.
- Mount Ijen usually during the wet season, the volcanic activity near the crack of volcano is rising. If this activity occurs then authorities will close the trail going to the Blue Flame but travellers still have opportunity to enjoy the landscape from Ijen's rim of crater, or if the volcanic activities turn the toxicity of gas into a level of danger, then the authorities will close the entire site for safety reasons. Visiting Mount Ijen/Blue flame means you need to be ready for natureâs unpredictability. There is no guarantee that you will go down the crater/blue fire on the day of your trip, nature is unpredictable and if due to massive sulphur clouds it is too dangerous on that day to go down, you have to respect it for your own safety.
- Ijen crater: Distance: 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) return, tour duration 7 hours return, The first 2km is the most challenging, as the road climbs steadily at a 25-35° incline. The next 1 km is flat.
