In just 24 hours, you’ll leave the island paradise behind and enter a raw, elemental world where blue fire dances under the stars, sulfur fills the air, and the sunrise paints a crater lake like no other.

Kawah Ijen, located in East Java, is home to the world’s largest highly acidic crater lake and one of the only places where natural blue flames emerge from deep within the Earth. It’s a phenomenon that occurs when sulfuric gases combust at high temperatures—a glowing blue inferno you must see to believe.

• Quick & efficient – Return to Bali within 24 hours

• Private transport – No waiting, no crowds

• Expert local guides – Safety and deep insight

• One-of-a-kind experience – Nature’s true spectacle, away from tourist traps
