Very happy that we choose this tour. Bromo, Ijen and the Meru Betiri national park ( 4 days, 3 nights). Very recommended if you like adventure, beautiful sunrises and volcanoes rising above the clouds.

Some positive observations on the organisation:
+ Fast and effective communication via mail and Whatsapp to agree on the program upfront
+ Cool tour guide joined us during the full trip (Cahyo :) )
+ Solid cars with airco and everything
+ Flexible when things go wrong. In our case we couldn't reach the turtle beach in Meru Betiri national park due to floodings (heavy rainfall overnight) so we decided to have a nice hike in the park and went back to the hotel in Banyuwangi. Everything was arranged immediately for us, without additional costs.

Thanks Iwan and Cahyo!

What can I say? The tour exceeded our expectations on so many fronts. Bali Java Holidays simply made it so easy and fun, and we never thought we could see such a fearsome volcano. From the get go, Iwan was very patient with all our questions and answered each and every one of our emails. He also offered us very competitive prices, and helped us logistically to connect two tours (one coming from the east and one from the west) to meet in Ijen. Needless to say it went seamlessly. Our guide Cahyo was the best- he was attentive, and helped one of us up the mountain when it became too gruelling. He's very hardworking and so polite and kind. If you ever want to visit Ijen or Bromo, take no thought and sign up with Bali Java Holidays.

I booked Surabaya-Ijen-Surabaya trip and Iwan was so efficient and quick to answer all questions. He even came all the way down to our hotel just to say hello before our hike.
Everything went so smoothly with our guide, Cahyo. He was always early in picking us up, patient when hiking up Mt Ijen, knowledgeable in explaining the history and most of all reliable and genuine.
Even the drivers are friendly and helpful.
Well done Iwan, Cahyo and team!
You guys have definitely made our trip such a memorable one! Cheers!

Booked the 1night ijen tour (bali-ijen-bali) with bali java holidays and really satisfied with their service :). Nice people and very accommodating.

Iwan was the one in charge and he is very helpful. As we need to fly to gilis from bali (at ard 4+pm) right after our ijen tour and it was actually a bit rush (you can never predict the traffic in Bali !!haha) and we were prepared to skip our breakfast planned in our itinerary after climb finish ijen. But they were thoughtful enough to pack our breakfast for us to eat on the way back to bali~~ and it was really yummy👍🏻👍🏻 !

The whole trip was pleasant, our driver Dewa was experienced and punctual ~ we slept like a baby on the way back :) Thanks to him , we were able to catch our fight on time without any rush 👍🏻

Our guide Cahyo is very experienced too, brought along masks and torch lights for us, and he was also very encouraging (I don think we can finish the climbing without him!😂)

Overall, we really enjoyed our ijen trip! Highly Recommended! 👍🏻

My first and most impression is that Iwan responded to my every e-mail. Before making decision, of course, I will need to make sure that the plan is well arranged and every condition is clear, as if possible I don't want to face with unexpected doubt and cost during my suppose-to-be happy time during the trip. Other agency might not want to take long conversation, but Iwan bear with my every question, thx a lot, and I don't feel disappointed to select Bali Java Holiday. The price is also reasonable. Of course, there were some obstacles along the trip, but I understand that we did not pay for the luxurious 5-star tour, and Iwan was flexile, he tried to help us solve all the issues. In conclusion, I definitely recommend Bali Java Holiday to you :)

FYI, our trip was the 5D4N with few customized route from Yogya to Bromo and Ijen, plus 2-day driver-only in Bali. It was a great time for us.
