2-day tour to Ijen Volcano and the enchanted Jawatan Forest

Language: English, Indonesian

Overview

Imagine a world where giant, oddly shaped trees stretch from roots to crown, covered in soft moss. Nearby lies an emerald lake that seems to breathe clouds of toxic gas and shimmer with blue flames like a mythical dragon.

This magical place truly exists — it’s the captivating island of Java, which we invite you to explore on our two-day tour.

You’ll dive into the fantastic atmosphere of Jawatan Benculuk Forest, where winding paths transport you into a world reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings.

Greeting the sunrise at Mount Ijen will be one of the most breathtaking moments of your journey. This unique volcano hides a sulfur lake in its crater, and at night its shores glow with an otherworldly blue fire, like liquid lava. The shadowy trees clinging to the rocky slopes look like sea monsters emerging from the mist.
