If you're an off-the-beaten paths kind of traveler, this would likely be perfect for you. While the weather wasn't on our side because it's rainy season in Bali, the boat ride and hike were still enjoyable as there wasn't a crowd, and we had the chance to see the view from the top – lucky us, it did not rain. Guides were helpful, educational, and everything from pickup to dropoff was smooth. Would try this again another time of the year!

From the Start, the entire team has been very cooperative, responsible and responsive. 1. Accomodation documents for Visa on arrival - were sent within a few minutes once ready. 2. Regular whatsapp communication even at odd midnight hours to ensure comfort. 3. Great driver team. The ones that drive you around will be professional and on time. Will gladly listen to your requests. 4. Best guides ever. The guides at Ijen were terrific. Young ambitious boys who spare no effort to keep you safe and happy. 5. Flexible accomodation. The best accomodation is provided, flexible to the conditions of the trip. Special shoutout to Andrew. He's the best. If he's your tour leader or point of contact, rest assured you're in very safe hands. He's also very knowledgeable and try to learn from him. Even if the package might appear costly, do not hesitate to book this especially if you're a solo traveler. If you're from India, please do choose them as they are knowledgeable about vegetarianism and Indian requirements.

Pick up by Yoni is on time. Denni our guide is very experienced and makes us feel safe despite our beginner hiking level. The time is well planned. Kudos to Denni excellent photography skills and his initiative to take multiple nice shots at areas which he deem as nice or photo worthy. Despite being tired at the end it is still worth the trip.

Loved every minute of this and highly recommend. Our driver Yoga was lovely, Loved visiting the local markets and our coffee / breakfast stop. Yoga was also kind enough to stop at the Sangeh monkey forest for us on the way back since we really wanted to go. Our guide in the jungle Pami was wonderful, so insightful, kind and genuine. Loved learning about all of the different plants. It was a true adventure and escape. And what was best, was that even though it was the rainy season (December) we had great weather, and the tour to ourselves. We didn't see another tourist the entire day. So, this definitely meets the story about authentic experiences with local people. If you are considering this tour, please do it, you won't regret it. 🙏🏼

The trip was amazing. I stayed quite far away at Nusa Dua but the driver Yosi came to pick me up. Tosi drove me to the meeting point with my guide Wi. I did the trip during wet season, but luckily we had clear sky during the hike. The boat ride at the morning was amazing, you could see all the stars. The route itself was super because yur really were in the nature. It was really nice to be away from the main tourist routes and be just yourself in the nature with your guide. Wi was excellent guide. The hike up was not too difficult, but it’s really steep at some times. The rise took for me about 30-40 minutes. It was a good workout. The views at the summit were amazing and we saw beautiful sunrise. I would defenitively recommend this hike for beginners and if you have more experience from hiking.

Great experience! Picked up on time and quite a quick drive to the base camp. Then we met with Yus - what a fantastic guide - so friendly and fun. Lots of knowledge and looked after us all very well. He made us a delicious breakfast and helped me down during the difficult slippery bits. Thanks Yus!! Hot springs were a pleasant end to the mornings activity - and helped with recovery!! Highly recommend
