Ijen Farmer Homestay By Ijen Authentic — Hotel in Java

We just have spent time with Ron and his familly and they are so nice. Ron picked up at the harbour Ketapang and organised everything for us to climb on the famous Ijen volcano. Night, every meal, driver, and equipment (mask) for the ascension. His little brother Albi guided us on the volcano to see bluefires and the sunrise on the morning. It was amazing to share this moment with him because he is also minor and he speaks well english. So he explained to us many things about his work and the volcano. He knows the safe way to access to the bluefires and also good spots to take pictures. It was an amazing experience about the volcano and natural phenomenom but also an incredible human experience. So thank you very much...

The local restaurant and shops were also readily trying to scan us out of money although this isn’t the fault of the homestay. The WiFi was broken but the driver did offer to let us use his at his house

The lift from town was ok, provided by the homestay’s driver who looked after us, but be sure to negotiate price in writing on WhatsApp beforehand.

Also be sure to get pick up times etc sorted in...

Imron is an amazing guest, he maight not have the best facilities but he make you feel like home but even if you don't want to stay in his property you should ask him for the tour because its one of the most unique tours I have had, concretely the rice field spot which is in an unknown place. The Ijen experience become something unique as q|He used to be one of the sulfur miners and it makes you feel privileged as there are only 260 working at the same time (sad job as it decrease your lifetime in decades he decide to...
