Since National Geographic mentioned the electric-blue flame of Ijen, tourist numbers increased.[citation needed] The phenomenon has occurred for a long time, but beforehand there was no midnight hiking. A two-hour hike is required to reach the rim of the crater, followed by a 45-minute hike down to the bank of the crater. The blue fire is ignited sulphuric gas, which emerges from cracks at temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius. We strongly advise our guests to start from home around midnight as it is about 40 mn to get there. The ticket office open at 1:00. Then you will be among the first at the amazing blue flames, the the sunrise. Our vehicle wait for you at the parking.

One interesting option for nature tours in Indonesia is to touch the beauty of the Ijen Crater in East Java. The natural crater formed by the volcano eruption is the most beautiful crater owned by Indonesia because it has the phenomenon of blue fire, aka the blue fire. Not surprisingly, every weekend, the Ijen Crater area is often filled with tourists, both local and foreign. Geographically, the Ijen Crater area is included in three regencies in East Java, namely Situbondo, Bondowoso, and Banyuwangi. However, the main entrance to enter the location of Ijen Crater is in Paltuding, Banyuwangi. For tourists who don't want to spend the night on the mountain but want to witness the phenomenon of blue fire, the Kalipuro area is another option for staying overnight. From Kalipuro to Paltuding it takes about an hour to travel, or a distance of about 35 km. With an estimated trekking trip time from Paltuding to Ijen Crater it takes about 2 hours, so to be able to witness the blue fire phenomenon, tourists must start the journey from Kalipuro at around 1:30 am.

This volcano is known to hold the largest sulfur lake in the world. Located in East Java and accessible by ferry from Bali is one of Indonesia volcanoes to see in effect because there you will see the blue fluorescent sulphide flows night. A show not to be missed. To go Kawah Ijen from Bali you have several solutions which are to fly to the airport of Banyuwangi or by bus or private car, you will cross the stretch of sea separating Java from Bali by boat. For information, the ascent begins the night: Before the ascent you will find shops and warungs to eat. Remember to bring warm clothes and good hiking shoes because part of the trail is very dusty and therefore slippery. Once at the top you can descend into the crater. Beware of steam sulfide, you can rent gas masks if you want (up to € 10 per person) but it is not required. A damp cloth can be used instead of the gas mask. Please do not touch the water of the lake which is very corrosive. Finally when you have finished the tour, if you do not use your gas mask or other protection, you can data to sulfur carriers working in the crater. With a simple gesture would help you greatly to make this work is very difficult.
