You can drink a cup of coffee or tea and experience a local snack before sunrise. Weather conditions will eventually determine the views and the color palet.

After sunrise the Jeep will continue to mount Bromo via the sea of sand. Ask the driver to stop if you wish to expereince the sea of sand. Otherwise your driver will park near Luhur Poten temple. After the Jeep parked you will breakfast in the sea of sand. then from park it will be a 45 minutes walk to the top of Mt. Bromo. If you don't feel like walking, you can rent a horse (not included). Take your time. When ready, the driver will be waiting for you. Once back at the Jeep, you will be driven back to Cemara Lawang.

You will arrive in the afternoon.

Day 2: Ijen trekking – Ketapang/Bali

If you wish to see the blue fire, you will have to leave around midnight. It takes about 2 hours to reach Paltuding where your local guide is waiting for you with your gas mask. It takes at least one hour to reach the top of Mt. Ijen, from where you descend into the crater to get near the blue fire. Please note that watching the blue fire is only for those who are in a good condition.
Once the sun is about to rise, you can enjoy a colorful panorama from the crater rim. At the same time many sulphur miners are at work. It is a heavy duty to carry loads of around 80 kilograms up the rim and then down the slopes of Mt. Ijen. After you experienced Ijen crater lake, there is still time to visit the sulphur factory where sulphur is purified and packed in Licin village.
