One of bucket list when you visit East Java Indonesia
There are two options:
If trip from Bali, 4 hour overland thru Bali Strait. Best time is start morning. From Denpasar the capital city of Bali need 3 hour to port Gilimanuk. Along the way you can see amazing paddy field and beaches on left side.
If u from Surabaya - Capital city of East Java, need 8 hour overland or 30 minute flight from Juanda Airport Surabaya.
Many traveller start from Banyuwangi city to Paltuding (Point to start hiking):
- 30 minute drive from Banyuwangi city center
- Ticket gate usually open 1 a.m but can delay until 3 a.m if condition not safe to hike due to smoke from sulfur very high.
- There are many guide will offering you to guide from start until crater and back to start.
- For normal people from start to crater need 3 hour to reach crater and see “blue fire” before sunrise, unless you’re pro hiker only need 1 hour to reach crater.
- There are many taxi/becak cost around 300 untuk 500K IDR if you can’t walk properly or not in good condition.
After sunrise usually all hiker come down to Paltulding normally 2 hour walk. Then find proper breakfast at hotel/ restaurant at Banyuwangi.
In this city many interesting destination you can visit for example Baluran National Park, Alas Purwo National Park, or many beaches here also wonderfull.
