Day 1: Kuta - Bondowoso, Indonesia

On arrival you will be taken on a short city tour in Banyuwangi before being transferred to your accommodation in Ketapang for overnight.
Day 2: Bondowoso - Bromo, Indonesia
Ijen Blue Fire & Crater Lake - Transfer to Mount Bromo (B)
Start your day with an early pick-up around 1am for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the ethereal blue glow of the Ijen Crater. Admire the dazzling, electric-blue fire that can often be seen burning upward into the sky, glowing naturally from the sulfur-rich volcano.
As the sun rises, the blue fire will turn to yellow and then fade away. Resting on the edge of the crater (2883m) you will have the opportunity to take pictures and enjoy the breathtaking panorama of this kilometre-wide, turquoise crater lake as the sun rises. You will also have the opportunity to contemplate the arduous job of the sulfur miners that go up and down the crater carrying loads of up to 80kg on their shoulders, on dangerous paths without much safety protection.
After enjoying the the amazing scenery of the Ijen Crater, it is time to descend the slope of Mount Ijen to catch your private transportation that will take you for a quick visit to a hot spring and a plantation (optional) where you can see the activities both on the land and in the factories: local people processing coffee, rubber and chocolate (depending on the season).
After this adventurous day, continue your trip with a private transfer to Mount Bromo area around 12pm, where you will reach your accommodation in Cemara Lawang village and have the rest of the day to relax and overlook the active volcanoes of Mount Bromo, Batok and Kursi. Overnight in Bromo area.
