About The Trip

Two of East Java's most jaw-dropping natural wonders, back to back: get soaked at the thundering tiers of Tumpak Sewu, then trade daylight for darkness as you chase Ijen's otherworldly blue fire.

Trip Route

Before You Go

Best time, what to bring and safety notes for each stop on this trip.

1. Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

🗓️ Best Time to Visit

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Best months

  • •Dry season, roughly May to October, is the safest and clearest time to visit.
  • •In the rainy season the trail is muddy and slippery and the falls can turn brown.
  • •Mornings give the best light and fewer people.

🎒 What to Bring

  • ✓Shoes or sandals with strong grip (wet rock and mud)
  • ✓Waterproof bag or dry bag for your phone and camera
  • ✓Quick-dry clothes and a full change of clothes
  • ✓Small towel and a light rain jacket
  • ✓Water, the climb back up is tiring

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • !The way down has steep stairs and ladders: use the handrails and go one at a time
  • !Do not go to the base after heavy rain, the water level can rise quickly
  • !Avoid swimming near the falls; the current and falling water are stronger than they look
  • !Keep the trail clear and watch your step on wet stone
2. Ijen Crater

🗓️ Best Time to Visit

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Best months

  • •Dry season, April to October, gives the best chance of clear skies and a visible blue fire.
  • •In the rainy season the trail is slippery and mist can hide the fire; the crater can also close for safety.
  • •The hike starts around 1 to 2 AM all year, so the blue fire is only visible in the dark.

🎒 What to Bring

  • ✓Warm jacket, gloves and a beanie: it is cold at the summit
  • ✓Trekking shoes with good grip for the steep gravel trail
  • ✓Water and a light snack
  • ✓Power bank and a spare layer for the wait at the rim
  • ✓A waterproof bag for your camera if the weather turns

🤝 What We Provide

Included on our trips, no need to bring or rent.

  • ✓Headlamp
  • ✓Trekking stick
  • ✓Gas mask

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • !Wear the gas mask we provide whenever your guide tells you to; the sulfur fumes can be very strong
  • !When the wind blows fumes toward you, follow your guide and stay away from the crater edge
  • !Never go down toward the blue fire without your guide: the path is steep, rocky and the gas is concentrated there
  • !If you have asthma or heart problems, tell your guide before you start and take it slowly
  • !Stay on the trail and keep your headlamp on in the dark
