Banyuwangi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Indonesia’s iconic Sulfur Crater

Have you been to Ijen, located near Surabaya Indonesia? The big star of the show here is the AMAZING blue fire that glows bright in the dark. Too bad I couldn’t capture it in camera but it’s such a cool sight! It comes from the sulfur gases escaping from the volcano. You might need to wake up super early to catch this dazzling sight, but trust me, it's worth it! When the sun rises, the views get even more breathtaking. You can see a stunning turquoise lake nestled in the crater of the volcano. And don't forget about the hardworking sulfur miners who brave the tough conditions to collect sulfur from the crater. Ijen is a magical place full of wonder and adventure, perfect for anyone who loves nature and exciting experiences! #WinHKFlight #winhkflight Hong Kong is a destination with culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to view the skyline from Victoria Peak, take in the view from ICC, visit the fishing village of Tai O and...so much more!

Beware the Blue Fire!

Kawah IJEN is a unique volcano in East Java, Indonesia. Its claim to fame is its gorgeous blue fire, but also its acidic crater lake, and the labour-intensive sulphur mining that takes place there, which is an eye-opener. The climb up Mount Ijen is in itself a torture, but the view at the top is priceless! A stunning aquamarine crater that sputters every now and again! But beware! This beauty emanates toxic gas! #kawahijen #eastjava #indonesia #volcano #bluefire #sulphurmining

Beautiful Mountain Crater @ Java

Indonesia is full of beautiful places. Java island have many mountains, beaches, and nature park. Banyuwangi has beautiful mountain crater that is called "kawah ijen". Me and my friends specially came to this city to enjoy the beauty of kawah ijen. To get here is not that easy, we must go by flight to Jakarta and transfer to Banyuwangi. Took around 1hour drive from airport. Although it's super cold, but we are fully prepared. When it get dark, we move to our glamping site where we stay at. We chose kunang kunang tent resort for overnight stay. It was very nice adventure and enough for 3D2N. #banyuwangi #wonderfulindonesia #kawahijen #crater #mountain #urbanexplorer #exploreindonesia

Its beauty can make you unwind all the tired in your mind due to work or travel long to the Green Bay. The beauty of the Green Bay from Sarongan village, Banyuwangi will also look very beautiful even the rainy season arrives. In the rainy season also, you can see the rainbow hanging over the waters of the Rajegwesi Bay. This phenomenon lasts for several days. When the rainy season causes the rocks to grow slippery, therefore, you are advised to wear mountain sandals and be more careful. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Sunrise on 21 December 2022

The easternmost point of Java Island, where you can catch sunrise. Banyuwangi, East Java, is where the hotel is located, and Banyuwangi is the biggest city on Java Island. From Jakarta, you can fly or take a car from a city on Java Island. I advised you to include a trip to this location in your travel plans. #DialoogBanyuwangiHotel #2023TravelWish My 2023 travel wish is South Korea.

500 thousand rupiah for 2 nights from the normal 2 million per night Too dear to pass up So here it is Dialogue Banyuwangi I took the lowest room and the highest room Upgrading to a suite only adds 579 thousand rupiah, it's pretty cheap, so just try it In general PLUS: - Excellent views. Number one in Banyuwangi - Good hospitality is at the level of a 5 star hotel. They remember my name every time they say hello. Plus point because it feels personal - The facilities are quite complete but unfortunately there is no kids club - Good maintenance. Very clean and well-maintained impression - Good restaurant food. The variant is quite okay - Clean pool - Prokes top. Disinfect every room before check in - There is a gym but there is only one tool per type For MINUS: - Small room (the deluxe one). Will discuss again later - Slow WiFi - No kids club - Expensive - No refrigerator/cooler in all rooms For a review of the room, my advice is to take a suite, but here are the reviews for both: DELUXE GARDEN room 1503 Lowest category. View garden. Just check the room tour video. In my opinion, it is not spacious, especially the bathroom. The balcony is okay, it can be made to lie down because there is a fairly large sofa bed. For more, check photos and videos SUITE room 3217 Highest category. ocean view. If you can request, ask for room number 3217 or 3317 because the view is the best. If you have time, come on a full night and the sky is clear because the view of the reflection of the moonlight on the sea is very beautiful Please check the room tour video too Suite room can be used for 3 people with extra bed. The proper bath and bathroom are wider than the deluxe Overall quite satisfying this hotel It's a hotel for artists, I met Donna Agnesia and Darius and the family That's all for now, want to continue the trip #summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay

#summervacation WONDERFUL! View is very good. I see the sunrise from my balcony. All the spot is instagramable. The staff is very good to choose the spot for a good picture. I think it's the best hotel in Banyuwangi. If you happen to planned go to Bali but do not want to leave java island this hotel is the best option near Bali. Although the rate is a lil bit pricey the experience you get is worth the money. The best experience is see sunrise from the swimming pool while watch the Bali island from a distant #summervacation#hotelstay

MOUNT IJEN, EAST JAVA

Labeled as a ring of fire country, several areas in Indonesia have active and inactive volcanoes. Many of these volcanoes have become vacation spots, such as Mount Ijen on the eastern tip of the island of Java. This mountain has a uniqueness that is hard to find anywhere else. The struggle to climb an active mountain by challenging sulfur gas will be fully paid off with the phenomenon of blue fire and the beauty of the turquoise green Ijen crater. Are you ready for this challenging holiday? #triplocal #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Amazing Hike Up Mount Ijen

Had an incredible trek up Mount Ijen in Indonesia. It was one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences of my life. Here are some highlights: - We started our hike at around midnight so we could catch the sunrise at the summit. It was pitch dark and cold, but we had flashlights and warm clothes. - The trail was steep, and I had to pull to the side a few times and catch my breathing. Luckily, there were pit stops along the way. - Our local tour guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and he helped us navigate the terrain and avoid the crowds. He also told us stories and shared info along the way. - The views of the acid lake were stunning. It was a bright turquoise color, contrasted by the dark volcanic rocks. - The blue fire was hard to see behind the smoke, but we managed to catch a glimpse of it. It was a surreal sight. We also saw the sulfur miners working in the harsh conditions, carrying heavy loads of yellow rocks. If you ever get a chance to visit Mount Ijen, I highly recommend it. Just be prepared for a tough but rewarding hike. #MountIjen #BlueFire #AcidLake #Sunrise #Adventure #Travel #Indonesia
