1) Why Ijen Health Screening Matters

Kawah Ijen is a high-exertion night hike with cold temperatures and potential exposure to sulfur gas. JVTO supports a screening system so that:

  • guests attempt the hike only after a real screening, and
  • results can be checked digitally (when required by local providers/authorities).

2) For JVTO Guests — What’s Included

If your JVTO tour includes the Ijen night hike, your package includes a health screening before the hike.

What to expect:

  • Screening is performed by trained medical staff following local guidelines.
  • Typical checks include simple measurements (for example blood pressure and oxygen level) plus a short set of questions.
  • You may be asked to bring a form of ID and/or fill a short form.

3) At the Ijen Gate — What Happens

At certain times, local authorities/providers may verify that screening was completed before allowing entry for the Ijen night hike.

4) Important Clarification

Screening helps reduce risk but does not guarantee that nothing will happen. Conditions at Ijen remain subject to:

  • local authority decisions,
  • weather and visibility conditions, and
  • safety assessments by JVTO and on-site teams.

5) Data & Privacy

If any personal data is collected during screening, it is handled in line with JVTO’s privacy commitments and the requirements of local providers/authorities.
