Important Information
A mandatory health certificate is currently required for all hikers. Temperatures at the summit can drop between 2°C and 10°C, so warm layers are essential. Avoid wearing silver jewelry as sulfur fumes will cause it to oxidize and turn black instantly.
Important Notice
The Ijen Blue Fire is a rare, naturally occurring phenomenon. Its visibility is strictly dependent on daily volcanic activity, weather conditions, and current Ijen Crater National Park safety regulations. We cannot guarantee that you will see the Blue Fire during your hike. Please consult with our travel experts regarding the current crater conditions before making your booking.

Local Expert Tips & Safety Regulations
Our licensed guides recommend leaving all silver jewelry at your hotel. The high concentration of sulfur gas at the crater rim will oxidize silver instantly, turning your rings and necklaces black in minutes. To ensure your safety and compliance with local authorities, all visitors are currently required to present a basic health certificate. Don’t worry—our team will personally escort you to a local clinic in Banyuwangi upon arrival to help you obtain this document quickly and easily.
