Trip to Ijen Blue Fire and Bromo from Lovina Bali (3 days 2 Nights) Review
This well-organized package is a highlight reel of East Java. The transition from Bali is smooth, with professional drivers and capable local guides at each site. The Ijen pre-dawn hike to witness the otherworldly Blue Fire is challenging but immensely rewarding.
The Bromo sunrise view is equally iconic. Accommodation is basic but clean, focusing on location over luxury. The drop in Surabaya is convenient for onward travel.
