Located at the heart of the Ijen Volcano complex lies Kawah Ijen, the site of the majestic blue fire. Deep turquoise by day, the lake at the crater is illuminated with electric blue flames by night - caused by ignited sulphuric acids. Discover this spectacular display by trekking uphill for 1.5 hours, admiring the starry night sky and the volcanic landscape all around. Descend to the crater with the assistance of a guide and don a gas mark to marvel at this natural phenomenon. Head back up to the crater rim in time for sunrise - a truly memorable and beautiful experience to conclude the excursion.
