Special thanks to G and Fik, the best guides out there! One of the best trips we’ve ever had, and it was all thanks to them and their effort!
Great experience. G and Fik were so great. Very much recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Ijen volcano tour! Guide Rendi and driver Holili were incredibly responsible, attentive and caring every step of the way. The hike up the volcano was challenging, and it meant the world to us that our guide kept cheering us on and motivating us throughout the climb. We really appreciate all their thoughtfulness and support. Absolutely a five-star experience, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend this Bromo and Ijen volcano tour, especially thanks to the kindness and care shown by Paujik, Fauzi and Fredy. I was unwell on my first day, and they didn’t hesitate to help me, take me to a hospital and even make sure I had food and water that night. Throughout the whole tour, they kept checking that I was feeling comfortable and well. Their thoughtfulness made such a difference, especially when I was feeli…

We had a great experience doing the East Java 4d3n tour with Taufik. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about East Java, and I would highly recommend this tour. He made sure to get us to all our destinations on time (sometimes very early in the morning!) and was a pleasure to get to know. The hotels are all amazing, although don't expect to spend too much time in them! The itinerary is packed with the most beautiful sites o…
We had an amazing time with Fauzi and our Driver Joyo. Fauzi knew the best spots to be away from the crowd and have an amazing view. Will never forget this experience. It was also possible to customise the tour with the helpful and patient customer service on WhatsApp. Would definitely recommend this to everyone.
Our Founder
The founder saw the gaps first-hand: unlicensed guides, no medical screening, no written rules for guests. JVTO answers with our own permanent crew, a doctor's screening before Ijen, public credentials and written policies.
“The Tourist Police experience isn't a marketing credential — it's how every safety decision is made.”
Agung "Mr. Sam" Sambuko
Founder · Active Tourist Police Officer
Ijen Health Screening
Yes. BBKSDA Jawa Timur circular SE.35/K2/BIDTEK.1/KSA/1/2024 (2024-01-06), as reported by TIMES Indonesia, makes a doctor's health certificate mandatory for every guest entering the Kawah Ijen crater. Dr. Ahmad Irwandanu (registration STR QN00001073380217) screens you at your hotel the evening before, on every private JVTO Ijen tour. It is a pre-hike assessment, not a guarantee.
The doctor comes to you: a mobile session at your hotel, with no clinic visit.
Our Crew
Our own permanent staff, not freelancers. Guests name them in their reviews: 152 reviews name one of our 11 crew.
Our guides and drivers are members of HPWKI, the Ijen guide association.
Questions
Yes. JVTO is PT Java Volcano Rendezvous, registered at AHU in February 2023 (NIB 1102230032918), founded by Bripka Agung Sambuko, an active Tourist Police officer. Our legal documents are published upfront, so you can check us through official government channels before paying a deposit.
Yes. Every booking gets its own vehicle, driver, and guide or team, with no shared groups. Private execution is what lets us hold our safety standards.
Safety comes first. If access conditions change, JVTO offers an alternative route and tells you clearly. Force-majeure closures are handled under our written policy with 100% Lifetime Package Credit (terms in the cancellation answer below).
Review our legal, police, medical, press and history-artifact proof under /verify-jvto before you pay. Key credentials can be checked on Indonesian government registries (ahu.go.id, oss.go.id, satusehat.kemkes.go.id), not just on our own site.
Cancellations made ≥48 hours before Day 1 receive 100% Lifetime Package Credit: non-expiring, transferable to any traveler, in IDR, with no rebooking fee. Our legal registration ensures you have recourse that 'freelance' guides cannot offer.
