Itinerary

Day 1: Denpasar – Banyuwangi

A morning departure from your hotel in Bali via minibus whisks you along the island’s scenic west coast, a slice of the real Bali few tourists see.

Stop for photos amid terraced rice fields, rustic villages, surging surf beaches and beautiful Bali National Park during the two-and-a-half-hour drive to Gilimanuk.

Short ferry crossing to Java.

Lunch is provided in a local restaurant, afterward proceed for a city tour in the small town of Banyuwangi, bechak ( pedi-cab) ride visiting the Kampongs in the city, traditional market and Chinese temple.

End of the afternoon drive to Ijen Resort and Villa.

Dinner and overnight.

Day 2: Ijen Crater

Early wake –up call.

After breakfast at the hotel drive on a four-wheel drive vehicle to the slope of Mount Ijen, passing through plantations and rainforest. This is one of the few left in the island of Java with giant ferns and big trees.

Pause at the Park Ranger’s post before hiking further up to the slope of the crater.

About one hour and half to two hours is needed to ascend the rim of the crater along a shady track with amazing views. Take a rest on the edge of the crater at 2883-meter altitude. The sulfuric lake reflects eerie color over the surrounding walls to give an apocalypse like impression. Men seeking the sulfur descend into the crater and climb back up along the dangerous rim with loads of up to 80 kilos on their shoulders.

The crater observation will take at leisure.

Afterwards, drive back to the hotel for lunch and enjoy the afternoon at leisure.

Dinner and overnight at Ijen Resort & Villas.

Day 3: Ijen Resort – Plantation - Denpasar

Leaving in the morning to a beautifully located plantation of coffee. This is one of the plantations which established by Dutch colonial government in this area.

Banyuwangi has a concentration of plantation of coffee, cocoa, glove and rubber. All those plantations still run very well and represent the most important resource of the economic sector in the area. The visit covers the coffee plant, the plantation itself and the social and cultural side of the life of the planters and its labour inhabitants.

Lunch in a restaurant near the port and then cross the strait, back to Bali.
