This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Our guide was AMAZING. He made it enjoyable every single second. The value is so great! Everything is included. Also tea at the summit and fried bananas at the end. Because the blue fire is not available right now they made it themselves so we could still see it. It was incredible. The hike really not that hard. They gave us the option for a slow, medium or fast hike which was great. Just 10/10 SO MUCH FUN đđđđ
I had a great time climbing Ijen. Transport and required gear was provided (and well maintained), and we got a hot drink at the summit. The guides - Qim Qim, Sule and Vagus - really made the trip. Theyâre clearly good friends and were joking around the whole time, which made for a really fun, relaxed atmosphere. They all were super knowledgeable about the volcano and the sulfur miners' history. The blue flames were not visible, but the guides managed to made some so we could experience them. Special mentoin to Qim Qim; heâs incredibly friendly and made the whole night a blast. Definitely an awesome crew to hike with! Hakuna matata!
We loved this trip!!! An amazing experience. Qim Qim and his team were all so enthusiastic and cheerful it really stood out. They definitely went the extra mile to keep everyone motivated and enjoying it. The whole experience was incredible. Highly recommend booking with them đ
Qim Qim and Eggball/Meatball were absolute legends. Made sure we got there on time even tho we signed up late and were very good guides would definitely recommend booking with them
Extraordinaire ! Nos guides Ă©taient dâune humeur exceptionnelle, Ils Ă©taient attentionnĂ©, il riait, il chantait. Nous avons pu descendre dans les cratĂšres du volcan et voir ces fameuses flamme bleue. Je recommande cette expĂ©rience
The trip was amazing! Transport was early and smooth, the guides were very cheerfull making it a super fun experience, even making a lot of pictures with your own phone as with a professional camera, which were shared afterwards. We were the group that started first and got to the blue fire first, lighted by them as unfortunately conditions were to dangerous to go all the way down to the blue fire. So they even made sure we still got to see some of it!
Moment incroyable avec des guides pleins dâĂ©nergie et au top Nous avons adorĂ© cette expĂ©rience
Our trip was absolutely amazing! All 3 guides made us feel safe the whole time, and Qim Qim was excellent and explaining everything and making sure everyone was okay. Big recommendation!!
