VERIFIED TRAVELER EXPERIENCES
Loved by Travelers Across the Globe
Private 5.0★ expeditions guided across Mount Ijen & Mount Bromo. Rated on Google Maps & Guide du Routard.
After finding out early in the morning that our Mount Ijen tour couldn’t go ahead through the hotel, we urgently needed a solution. Luckily, Hasyim managed to organize a seamless private tour right away with a dedicated driver and AC car, allowing him to focus 100% on our crater safety. Safe, attentive, and deeply authentic.
Following recommendations on the forum, we spent 3 days and 2 nights with Hasyim exploring Kawah Ijen and Bromo. Hasyim speaks fluent English and understands French. If you are looking for a genuine human experience off the beaten track, go for it with your eyes closed!
This was one of the best experiences of our trip in Indonesia! The guide, Hasyim is kind and caring. Thanks to him we got to experience not only the majestic landscapes of mount Ijen and the blue fire but also some authentic moments with local villagers.
Hasyim welcomed us to his traditional village of Tamansari, introduced us to his family, and hosted us in his homestay with delicious homecooked meals. The next day our dedicated driver took us smoothly to Kawah Ijen while Hasyim guided us with utmost care. A true human immersion far removed from mass tourism.
Hasyim is friendly, funny and interesting. He will do his utmost to make you at ease. He organizes a trip that not only includes the volcanoes, but also authentic village life and top-grade gas masks at the sulfur crater rim. Impeccable service.
Thanks to forum recommendations, we had the incredible opportunity to do the 3-day / 2-night trek around Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen with Hasyim. What a fantastic experience… traveling with our 2 young kids aged 3 and 7, he adapted the pace perfectly so that the adventure was memorable, peaceful, and completely safe.
“Unforgettable experience with a guide you can trust 100%”
Hasyim took care of every single detail: high-grade dual-filter gas masks, powerful headlamps, and the perfect pacing for the caldera hike. Witnessing the electric blue flames with his local stories was a dream come true.
From pickup in Surabaya to the ferry crossing to Bali, everything was coordinated with surgical precision. Private 4x4 Jeeps, clean homestay, and genuine cultural insights into Javanese village life. 100% recommended!
Hasyim guided us for three days to exceptional places: rice paddies, waterfalls, hot springs, and the ascent of Mount Kawah Ijen! We also spent time with Hasyim’s friends, neighbors, and family. Thank you!!
