Includes: Breakfast
Today we'll visit Ijen. At around one in the morning, we'll set off by jeep to Ijen National Park, which opens its doors at 2.00 am. We'll start off with a ninety-minute moonlight trek, using torches to light up the path. We'll come across peasants and miners on the way. And then we'll reach the volcano crater. We'll decide among ourselves how close we want to get to this amazing natural spectacle. The Kawah Ijen volcano is the scene of some pretty unusual phenomena. The fire of the volcano is blue and releases sulphur dioxide, a highly toxic gas that is the main cause of acid rain. Flames adorn the descent of liquid sulphur rivers in full combustion. Watching the sunrise from the crater is a breathtaking experience. When the sun comes up, the crater lake starts to dazzle, contrasting with the grey of its walls and highlighting the turquoise waters, produced by the sulphur and aluminium sulphate. We'll head back to the hotel at around 9.30 in the morning in time for breakfast. At the arranged time with the guide, we'll head off to the port to take a ferry to Bali. On arrival, transfer to Ubud. Accommodation.

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Indonesia are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The baggage allowance on domestic flights of most airlines in India is usually 15 kg per person, so lower than on international flights. Please take account of this when packing your bags.

- Please check with your international vaccination centre about the recommended healthcare measures in Indonesia.

- Indonesia is a Muslim country and the month of Ramadan is of major significance to its residents. During Ramadan, entertainment and alcohol will be restricted in most of the country. The sale of alcohol will be restricted in many places, although some establishments will offer alcohol for sale to tourists. During this period, local businesses may also have shorter opening hours.

- Depending on the return flight, the trip may be one day longer.

- To reconfirm services at the destination, please send us your passport details within 24 hours of booking.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- The order of the itinerary may be altered for logistical reasons, without prior notice, but no scheduled trips will be cancelled (except in the case that adverse weather conditions prevent its realisation).

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Prices are calculated based on admission fees to the sights as of the date of publication. If there is an increase in these prices, you will be promptly informed.

- If you are a person with reduced mobility, please contact us to confirm the suitability of the trip.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
