We Hiked an ACTIVE VOLCANO in Indonesia! 🇮🇩 Indonesia Travel Vlog

In today's Indonesia travel vlog, we tackle our toughest challenge yet: hiking Mt. Ijen. Located in East Java, near the border of the Banyuwangi Regency, Mount Ijen is a massive volcano complex home to the world's largest highly acidic lake. Not to mention, it is one of two places on the planet where you can see blue flames emitted from the sulfuric gases igniting.
We set off early in the morning, before sunrise, to tackle the 3.8km hike to the summit. With over 600 meters (1968 ft) of elevation gain, this hike differs from your average walk in the park. It was dark, chilly, and packed with other adventure seekers hoping to glimpse the eerie blue flames.
Hiking Mount Ijen is hands down one of the best things we've done since beginning our travels in 2022, and we recommend it to anyone willing to wake up early and brave the steep hike.

Are you love volcanoes ? You are in the right country. The country known as The ring of Fire, Indonesia
Yes! We never knew we’d enjoy volcanos, but Indonesia has shown us the way.
Good job Ashley, getting scared is part of the job description as a human, but we conquer our fears and get stronger.
Yes! 💪 Thank you for your words of encouragement! 🥰
Proud of you guys, you're officially Volcano climbers now. Back decades ago when I was teenager. Everytime I reached to the top, how tough I am, I was tear up. Not because I concord the mountain, It's because I was CONCORD MYSELF. 😎💪💖💝
Thanks so much! It was such a good feeling; reaching the top and knowing I conquered my fears became overwhelming. I'm glad others get it. 🥰
You got the perfect hotel with perfect views. Awesome cinematography!
We really did! Thanks so much! ❤️
I am goosebump saw a beautiful ijen
It also gave us chills. It was amazing.
Visit the Sarangan or Sarangan Lake tour and climb Mount Lawu❤
We'll add these to our list of places to visit. Thank you for the recommendations! 🙏
Thank you for wanting to visit the Ijen Crater tourist attraction... I as an Indonesian citizen am very proud that our tourist attraction can be known to the world... and thank you very much to both of you
Indonesia is one of the most beautiful places on the planet! We’re happy to experience just a small part of the countries beauty!
Nothing compares to the kindness of the people though. 🥰🥰
Woohoo small surprise for Ashley birthday. She like it and we also like it. Love it ❤
Yes! It was so sweet. 🥰 We felt very loved at Sawah Ijen!
Love the frog dawn chorus sounds after the rain!
We do, too! 🐸🎶
Wow
It was definitely a "Wow!" experience. 🥰
Thank you guys for visiting my homeland. I was moved when Ashley cried. Thank you again for the very beautiful vlog and reactions about Mount Ijen. I hope you feel at home in Indonesia, especially in Banyuwangi.
We're glad you enjoyed the video; we had so much fun making it! Indonesia is a wonderful country and we are happy to be here. 🥰
Actually Indonesia have some of similar views like ijen..we have two in West Java kawah putih (white crater) Bandung and Garut it’s more easy to reach and the unique one is Kelimutu the three colors craters in Flores NTT ..but maybe we have more cz Indonesia is rings of fire..it’s meant the country with most active volcanos in the world..but thank you for coming nice video btw..
Thanks for the recommendations! We absolutely loved hiking Kawah Ijen and can't wait to explore more volcanoes. 🥰
The best part at the mountains is fresh air and feel exited.. Really enjoyed
We agree! It's so peaceful in the mountains.
we are proud of you Ashley !😃 proud of you too Mike, youre an awesome gentlemann
Aw, thanks so much! ☺️🙏 I am also proud of Ashley. She HATES hiking! But she did it! Now she loves it!
whats good about doing a hike is how much it teach you a life lessons, you might experience struggle in every step on the way to the top, but when you alr there it was worth all the risk. then youll feel proud of yourself for not giving up.. Welcome to Indonesia my friend, hope you guys enjoy your trip ❤
This, exactly! Thank you so much for watching. ☺️ We appreciate your comment!
The best video
Thanks for your kind comment. It made our day! 🥰
I love how your journey and conversation seems and sounded raw, decent & original. I climbed mount Ijen back on 2014, the time for me to climb took like almost 90 minutes, and to go down was like less than 30 minutes or so. Unforgetable journey it was. Hope you guys enjoy Indonesia!
Thank you so much! 🥰 It’s such a lovely place isn’t it? Like another world.
That hike looked brutal, but worth it. Those views! Anja hates hiking, so I'd have to drag her up that mountain..hahaha. Would love to do this though.
10/10 recommend… and if Ashley can do it, Anja can do it. I promise! 😂
Sangat luar biasa hasil editan videonya menghasilkan gambar yang sangat berkualitas..
Aw, thank you so much! ☺️🙏
Best vlog.... Amazing
Thanks so much! We had a fun time making this one.
Selamat datang di Indonesia, semoga bahagia
Thank you so much! ☺️🙏
There are lots of cool volcanoes in Indonesia, you must climb them. and one more thing, you are a perfect couple👍.
Aw, thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
I want to be exploring wherever you guys are at, Indonesia!! 😂 Keep up the pace you mad dogs!! 😅
Haha, we're trying! 🥵 Tired, but having fun!
I love you guys.. Welcome to indonesia.. Enjoy your holiday❤🎉
Aw, thank you! We had an amazing time and can't wait to be able to return.
Thank you both for visiting my city, Banyuwangi, Ijen Crater😇😇😍😘 Oh yes, happy birthday to Ashley, always healthy... I am very happy that you have visited the city of Banyuwangi, and I hope you can enjoy your holiday in Banyuwangi in the city of my birth.. 😍😘😍 be careful on the road

Meskipun saya orang indonesia,tapi saya belum pernah sama sekali ke kawah ijen. Saya berharap semoga suatu saat saya akan pergi ke tempat indah ini.
Kalian beruntung! Nikmati setiap petualangan kalian di Indonesia.
Tetap jaga kesehatan di manapun kalian berada.
Salam dari Sumatera Selatan.
Thank you so much! We’d love to be able to visit Sumatra! Maybe the next time.
Thank you for your kind words. We hope you get to see the beauty of Ijen crater one day soon!

It looks like zao lake in Japan which is kown as "okama crater"!
Of course Mt. Fuji is also great. Come and experience the nature of Japan someday!
Japan is VERY high on our bucket list! We will absolutely explore there at some point! Zao lake sounds beautiful! Thanks for sharing. ☺️🙏

WOW guys! What an incredible journey! We are not going to lie, we skipped the crater part as we are gearing up to do it in a week or so so didn't want to spoil it but will definitely check back once we have done it! This made us so so excited!!! 😍

Fried chicken sounds good ❤❤
It usually is! Specially with rice and sambal! 😋
It should be even more rewarding for what you guys went through.
We had a great time. It was challenging, but well-worth the effort. 😊
I can relate to those anxieties, worries, and doubts before doing this out of your comfort zone activities, but the view and the experience afterwards never fails to satisfy. I teared up a bit watching this vlog and feeling proud for you guys
So well said! So glad that our video moved you. We LOVED our Ijen experience. It was something we’ll never forget. Ashley has been dying to get us out and hiking again ever since. Thank you for your kind words and support. Your comment made our day! ☺️🥰

Bromo is very easy to hike, it will be nothing for Ashley... if you really want feel the real volcano challenging hike, try Mount Rinjani in Lombok.Very hard, but It was one of the most beautiful volcano in Indonesia.

Saya hadir ingin melihat perjuangan anda mendaki gunung Ijen.
We’re happy you enjoyed it! We had an amazing time. ☺️
Thank you for sharing Indonesia. I am originally from sidoarjo - East Java but i work in Lampung - sumatra Island lampung province. In lampung there are many beautiful Tourist spots mostly beaches. Come visit... If i happen to be in East Java and so are you, i will take you around for free. Dont worry, i am not a bad Guy. I am doing it to our guests like you
Thank you so much! You are very kind and we would love to take you up on your offer if we find ourselves in Lampung or East Java. 🥰❤️
@@mikeandashley do that! Enjoy Indonesia. I happen to work in lampung at a new 4 star hotel. I am not taking my car to lampung.
Hello, how are you, Mike and Ashley, thank you for traveling to Indonesia. there are still many beautiful places that cannot be mentioned because there are so many
Hello. 👋 We are well, thank you! And thanks for welcoming us to your beautiful country. We could spend years in Indonesia and would still have so much to discover. 🥰
@@mikeandashley So, what country do you plan to go to next after Indonesia? I hope every trip you make runs smoothly and safely ...
Singapore for three days and then Malaysia for a month or two to get caught up on editing. 😅
Saya ikut terharu dengan perjuangan anda😢😢😢
Thank you so much! ☺️
I'm imagining that one day you'll place a beautiful picture of Mount Ijen's crater on your wall and hang the face mask on the side of the frame to commemorate the achievement Ashley did.
Ah, that would be lovely! It was such an incredible moment that we'll always remember. ❤
Banyuwangi ITS my home
You have a beautiful home! 🥰
👍👍👍
🥰🤗
Indonesia, Ring Of Fire
It sure is!
Tetap hati hati bro
Terima Kasih!
