Banyuwangi is the town at the eastern tip of Java, closest to the crater. A night hike from a hotel there is the cheapest Ijen tour and the shortest night: pickup in town, the drive up to Paltuding, the hike, and back to town the same morning.

Before you book
The park needs your name as it is on your passport, and tickets cannot be changed. Avoid the clean-up Fridays, when the crater is shut. If you have asthma or a heart condition, read the health rules first. For a bed near the pickup points, see where to stay in Banyuwangi.
