Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.

Yes. Daytrip drivers can pause at sightseeing spots, viewpoints, or local markets along your route. If you are traveling between Bali and Banyuwangi, this might include a stop at Baluran National Park's entrance road or a coastal viewpoint along the north coast. You can discuss preferred stops with your driver or request them when booking, giving you the flexibility of a guided experience without being bound to a group tour timeline.
From Denpasar (Bali), the journey covers roughly 75 km (47 miles) to the Gilimanuk ferry crossing, with the crossing itself taking around 45 minutes, followed by a further drive to Banyuwangi — total travel time is typically in the 3 to 4 hour range depending on traffic and ferry wait times. From Surabaya, the distance is approximately 290 km (180 miles), which translates to around 5 to 6 hours by road.
Banyuwangi's most rewarding sites — Kawah Ijen, Baluran, the Osing villages — are spread across a large area with limited and infrequent public transport connections. A private transfer lets you set your own departure time (pre-dawn starts are common for Ijen crater visits), travel with all your gear without worrying about luggage restrictions, and adjust the day as it unfolds without being locked into a fixed itinerary or a tour group's schedule.
The standout attraction is Kawah Ijen, an active volcanic crater famous for its electric-blue sulfuric flames — visible before dawn — and the turquoise acid lake that sits inside the caldera. Baluran National Park, often called "Africa in Java" for its savanna landscapes and wildlife, is another exceptional stop. For a more relaxed experience, the traditional Osing villages around Kemiren offer a glimpse into a culture found nowhere else on Java.
Banyuwangi sits at the far eastern tip of Java, and its appeal lies in how much raw, untouched nature is packed into one area. You have an active volcano, one of the world's most spectacular crater lakes, one of the last habitats of the Javan rhinoceros nearby, and a coastline that feels nothing like the tourist-heavy beaches elsewhere in Indonesia. It rewards travelers who want something genuinely off the beaten path without sacrificing comfort getting there.
The hike to the crater rim is approximately 3 km (1.9 miles) each way from the trailhead and involves a steep ascent, so a reasonable level of fitness helps. The blue flame phenomenon is only visible in darkness, which means most visitors begin the hike between midnight and 2 AM. Temperatures at the summit can drop significantly, so layers are essential even if the lowlands feel warm. Renting a gas mask at the trailhead is strongly recommended given the sulfur emissions near the lake.
