Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Banyuwangi. From there, you’ll drive to the base of Ijen Crater, one of the most famous volcanoes in **East Java>.
Once you arrive at the starting point, you’ll begin the hike up to the crater. The trek takes about 1.5–2 hours and offers a peaceful atmosphere in the cool mountain air. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with incredible views of the turquoise volcanic lake and dramatic crater landscape. It’s a great moment to enjoy the sunrise and take photos of this unique natural wonder.
After finishing the hike, you’ll return to the parking area and continue the journey toward Sukamade Beach, located deep inside Meru Betiri National Park. The drive itself is an adventure, as the route passes through rural villages, dense rainforest, and large plantations of coffee, cocoa, rubber, and other tropical crops.
By the afternoon, you’ll arrive at the simple guesthouse near Sukamade. After dinner, the highlight of the evening begins. Together with park rangers, you’ll walk to the beach to witness sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs. Watching this natural event in the quiet darkness of the beach is a truly unforgettable experience.
