Why Is This Tour Special?

Blue Fire Explained

The blue flames are not lava. They come from burning sulfur gas. This gas escapes from cracks and burns at very high temperatures. You can only see the blue fire in the dark before sunrise.

Meet the Sulfur Miners

Local miners extract sulfur by hand. They carry heavy loads up the mountain. Watching their hard work shows you a unique side of Kawah Ijen.

The Acidic Crater Lake

The crater lake is the largest acidic lake on Earth. It has a bright turquoise color. The water is very acidic, so don’t touch it.
