Depart from your hotel in Bali, cross to Java by ferry and spend 3 days and 2 nights exploring East Java's signature volcanoes, Ijen Crater and Mount Bromo. Hike Ijen Crater in the middle of the night to see its colorful acidic lake, smoking crater and sunrise spot, and hear the stories of the local miners who carry sulfur. The next morning, ride a jeep in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park to watch the sunrise, then walk up to the rim of the Bromo crater. With 2 nights of accommodation, jeep, national park and geopark entrance fees and an English-speaking guide included, you can easily combine both volcanoes on an overland trip.
On day 1, depart from your hotel in the pickup area you booked and drive about 3 hours 30 minutes to the ferry terminal at the western tip of Bali. After about 1 hour on the ferry to Java, a Java-side driver will be waiting for you. Travel 40 minutes to 1 hour to a 3-star hotel in Banyuwangi, check in and rest until the midnight wake-up call. Dinner is at your own expense.
