Itinerary

Giorno 1 — Bali Beaches → Gilimanuk → Ketapang → Kawah Ijen

Departure from Bali (southern area or Ubud) to reach the port of Gilimanuk, boarding the local ferry to Java, with a duration of about 45 minutes. Upon arrival at the Ketapang port, we head towards the town of Banyuwangi, where we will visit the local market and the Chinese Temple using the traditional pedal tricycle called "Becak". Depart for the Ijen volcano area. Upon arrival, accommodation in a hotel will be arranged. Lunch during the visit (only with a surcharge). Dinner.

Auto

Giorno 2 — Kawah Ijen → Monte Bromo

Wake up in the middle of the night at 4:00 am, have breakfast and depart for Paltuding, where the adventure to reach the caldera of Mount Ijen begins. You will pass through rural villages, coffee and clove plantations in the rainforest of Java. Humidity, wildlife, giant ferns, and tall trees cover the mountain slope (a two-hour uphill trek, so it is suggested to wear a sweater). At an altitude of 2,883m, the reward for the effort is a breathtaking view of the morning, and during good weather, you can see the large sulfur lake. After admiring the lake and the local sulfur extraction activities, the downhill trek begins, followed by a long transfer to the Bromo area (approximately 8/9 hours by minibus). Lunch will be served at a local restaurant along the way.
Please note: visits to Mount Ijen are mandatory with special and experienced local guides who speak English. Upon arrival, accommodation in a hotel will be arranged. Dinner free.

***OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES*** (see supplements)
Optional: the experience of seeing the famous Blue Fires of the Ijen volcano is available at an additional cost.

The supplement includes: early transfer from your accommodation to the base of Ijen, approximately between 1:00 and 1:30 a.m., depending on weather conditions; an expert local guide who accompanies guests during the night trek to the Blue Fire observation point, a special protective mask to get closer to the area where the sulphur fumes are most intense, additional safety measures and coordination necessary for night-time access to the crater area.

In case of poor visibility of the Blue Fire, guests will still enjoy the anticipated trek to the crater, with a quieter and less crowded experience, a visit to the Ijen crater, and observation of the sunrise over the volcano.
However, visibility cannot be guaranteed, as it depends on natural factors such as sulphuric gas activity, wind and weather conditions. The supplement will still apply even if visibility is poor.

Auto

Giorno 3 — Monte Bromo → Yogyakarta

Wake up in the middle of the night, around 03:30. We depart on an uphill road aboard off-road Jeeps to reach Penanjakan (altitude 2,700m) where, on a panoramic terrace, we will witness the beautiful sunrise. After admiring the sunrise, we will descend with the Jeep to a level of 2,330m, passing through the famous "sea of sand". From here, a short horseback ride is planned to reach the base of Mount Bromo. To reach the crater, we then have to climb 250 steep steps. After admiring the beautiful panorama of Mount Bromo, we return to the hotel for breakfast and some relaxation. Afterwards, we will be transferred to Mojokerto train station (approximately 4 hours) to proceed by train to Yogyakarta (4/5 hours approximately); the guide will be with you throughout the journey, even on the train. Arrival in Yogyakarta. Lunch during the visit. I will arrive at the hotel in the late afternoon. Dinner free.

Auto

Giorno 4 — Yogyakarta → Prambanan → Ratu Boko → Borobudur

Breakfast. The day begins with a visit to the city at the Sultan's palace, also known as "Keraton". The palace is built in typical Javanese architecture and inside it showcases the richness of the cultural heritage that tells the history of the region (if open, to be verified on site at the time of the visit). Next, you will see the Water Castle, which in the past was the royal family's vacation garden. Then, you will visit a batik factory where silk or cotton fabrics are painted using a very special process. The transportation between Keraton, Water Castle, and the batik factory is done on traditional pedal tricycles called "Becak". The tour continues to the Kota Gede neighborhood, where you will walk among the locals' houses and have the opportunity to interact with them. You will also visit a local house to learn more about how traditional sweets are made. The walk continues through a local school, other houses, and the local market. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, you will visit Prambanan. Built in the 10th century, it is the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia. It consists of three temples decorated with reliefs illustrating the epic of Ramayana, dedicated to the three great Hindu deities (Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma). The last visit of the day will be to Ratu Boko, the remains of a palace dating back to the 8th century. Legend has it that Ratu Boko was a palace built by the Buddhist dynasty of Shailendra for King Ratu Boko, the father of Lara Djonggrang, a beautiful princess belonging to the Kingdom of Boko. The tour then continues to the Borobudur area, about 40 km away. I will arrive at the hotel in the late afternoon. Dinner free.

Giorno 5 — Borobudur

Breakfast. Check out of the hotel and depart for a visit to the magnificent Borobudur Temple (closed every Monday). **Note on Borobudur: access to the top of the temple is included, but numbers are limited and access may be denied at any time without notice or refund.**. Borobudur is an ancient Buddhist temple located on the island of Java, Indonesia, about 40 km northwest of Yogyakarta.
