What to know
IDR 150,000 flat for a foreign visitor; Indonesians pay 20,000, or 30,000 on a holiday. No guide is compulsory - the official requirement list asks for a health certificate, anti-slip shoes, a warm jacket and a mask, and the mask is not optional. Booking is online only and the name must match your passport. The gate opens at 02:00 for the blue flames, which need darkness. Reopened on 28 September 2026 after a wildfire closure; it also shuts one day a month for cleaning.

When to go
The planner warns of wet in January, February. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
