Guide ou chauffeur pour le Kawah Ijen depuis Bali?

Original post
Bonjour les routards,
Mon ami et moi partons pour Bali en juillet prochain.
Nous hésitons à louer une voiture sans chauffeur là-bas à cause du trafic et de la fatigue. Nous n'avons pas trop de temps à perdre (malheureusement), donc nous prendrons peu les transports en commun.
Nous pensions louer les services d'un guide/chauffeur, voire simplement d'un chauffeur pour nous faire découvrir/emmener à l'ouest de Bali sur quelques jours. Nous cherchons qqun qui nous emmènerait ensuite sur Java pour grimper sur le Kawah Ijen, puis retour sur Bali.
Exemple : le guide vient nous chercher à Ubud, on va vers Jatiluwih, dans la région des lacs et Munduk, puis sur la côte nord, puis Gilimanuk et zou, Kawah Ijen (ou en sens inverse). Mais il paraît que les guides balinais rechignent à aller sur Java ??
Si vous avez de bonnes adresses, faites tourner s'il vous plaît !
En vous remerciant

Bonjour pas besoin de guide pour aller au kawah Ijen.
Tu prends le bus pour Gilimanuk 25000 roupies tarif local + ferry jusqua Java 40 minutes 6000 roupies puis prendre un ojek ou louer un scooter pour aller au pied du kawha mais la route est défoncé et raide dans ce sens.
Ensuite ballade facile de 1h30 comparé à l'énorme effort de porteurs de souffre.

Merci, mais nous ne voulons pas aller au Kawah Ijen uniquement, nous voulons ensuite aller à Pemuteran, puis à Munduk, puis à Candikuning, puis à Jatiluwih... Donc je ne sais pas si nous aurons le temps à chaque fois d'attendre les bus ou bemo pour chacune de nos destinations (s'il y en a !)... D'où notre envie de payer un guide-chauffeur pour nous y conduire dans un mini-circuit...

Pas besoin de guide pour le Kawah Ijen en effet! En fait je ne sais même pas s'il y en a hehhehe! Pour le reste tu peux te louer un scooter à la place.

J'y ai pensé, mais comment faire lorsqu'on n'a pas prévu de revenir dans la ville de la location ? Est-ce qu'il existe une chaîne de location de scooters avec des agences dans plusieurs villes ? Par exemple, je loue un scooter à Ubud, je le rends à Pemuteran ou Gilimanuk...
J'avais prévu de faire le tour de l'île (grosso modo) en faisant une boucle donc sans allers-retours... Ce n'est pas si simple en fait de faire un itinéraire !!!

Bonjour,
Le mieux est de louer une voiture et de faire votre trip, et de vous arrêter ou et quand vous voulez...
Le prix d une petite voiture style karimun est de 145.000/jour.
A part le sud de Bali, il y a pas plus de trafic qu une grande ville française.
Les Balinais n aiment pas trop les javanais mais ils sont contents de les avoir!! Bali est entièrement construit par des javanais qui sont moins fainéant, moins pris par les cérémonies...
Cordialement

OK merci, ceci conforte notre première idée, nous ne trouvons pas de guide de toutes façons...
Par contre, est-ce que les assurances couvrent les voitures louées pour le passage de Bali à Java ?

Bonjour,
Nous rentrons d'un voyage de 17 jours à Java.
Nous avions choisi le confort, prendre un guide et un chauffeur pour visiter l'île d'Ouest en Est de Jakarta au Kawah Ijen .
Retour en avion Surabaya/Jakarta.
Après bien de contacts, nous avons retenu Nivori qui possédait de bonnes références et qui s'est montré réactif et sympathique dans ses mails.
Sur la base d'un programme bien construit et d'un prix qui nous a semblé correct (600 000 Rph par jour tout compris hors hôtels et visite), il a été convenu qu'il nous accompagnerait dans notre périple. Rendez vous pris a notre hôtel le 14 septembre 2011 à 8 heures.
Nous n'étions pas arrivés depuis une demi heures le 13 au soir que Nivori nous informait par téléphone qu'il ne nous accompagnait plus en raison d'une mystérieuse maladie. Ceci sur un ton extrêmement agressif et nous intimant sur un ton sans réplique, un rendez vous pour le lendemain matin à 7 heures pour une solution de rechange !
Le lendemain nous nous sommes trouvés en présence d'un petit bonhomme très désagréable, excité que nous ne pouvions approché au prétexte d'une varicelle très contagieuse mais pas très évidente (difficile de vérifier à 10 mètres).
Solution de rechange proposée faire le circuit avec le chauffeur qui parle un peu anglais, sur la base du circuit que nous avions arrété mais traduit en indonesien ce qui ne nous permettait en aucun cas de vérifier quoique ce soit.
En tout le dénommé Nivori avait décidé aller vite ( il avait manifestement mieux à faire malgré sa maladie!) Négociation rapide sur le prix avec une décote a priori normale plus le retour à vide du chauffeur de Surabaya à Jakarta soit deux jours de route.
A défaut de mieux nous acceptons, nos vacances n'étant pas élastiques.
Rendez vous pris le lendemain pour départ vers Bandung via Bogor.
Très rapidement, nous avons constaté que notre chauffeur ne parlait pas anglais . Il connaissait quatre mots : "Morniing" Okkkk" "Bye" "Sorry" et deux expressions clés : "I don't know" "May be" et surtout qu'il ne connaissait absolument pas Java Ouest. Son minicar Mitsubishi était par ailleurs dans un état déplorable avec une clim défaillante et un moteur lessivé.
Nous avons commencé le voyage par une matinée complète à chercher la route de Bogor et une soirée complète à Bandung pour chercher un hôtel ( qui est dans tous les guides)que nous n'avons en définitive jamais trouvé!!!! Le chauffeur ayant décidé de ne plus faire un mètre devant un hôtel vraiment très moyen et sans aucun charme!
Nous avons donc du prendre les choses en mains avec l'aide de notre guide Lonely Planet ( fort bien fait) et mais en tenant compte de la mauvaise volonté évidente de notre chauffeur bien décidé à ne rien faire d'autre que ce qui lui était indiqué sur le planning ( qu'il ne comprenait pas bien et qu'il fallait vérifier chaque jour) remis par Nivori et dont le contenu était très inférieur au projet présenté.
Ce programme étant par ailleurs intenable en terme de délais, il nous a fallu renoncer au plateau de Dieng et au Kawah Ijen.
Par ailleurs, ledit Nivori s'est manifesté deux fois au cours du séjour, une fois Djodja pour nous rappeler que nous devions payé le chauffeur et une fois au Bromo pour le solde. La communication devenant difficile dès lors que nous avions à lui faire part de nos griefs .
Cerise sur le gâteau nous avons découvert que notre chauffeur ne rentrait pas à Jakarta, mais à Djoja soit une journée de route.
Nous avons donc retenu la journée supplémentaire et omis le paiement d'un pourboire, ce qui nous a valu un jet de valise sur le trottoir de l’aéroport de Surabaya.
Alors par pitié, arrêtez de conseiller ce Nivori. Il s'agit d'un minable escroc sans scrupule, qui n'en est manifestement pas à son coup d'essai.
Son numéro est parfaitement au point et il joue à la perfection du désarroi de ses victimes en les prenant à la sortie d'un voyage long et relativement fatiguant.
Bonjour !
Je suis désolée que votre voyage ce soit passé de cette façon, mais il se trouve que je suis restée en contact par mail avec Nivori et il m'a dit il y a une quizaine de jours qu'il était malade (varicelle)... Il a du essayé de corriger le tir comme il a pu en dernière minute mais ce n'était sans doute pas très facile... Quoi qu'il en soit par rapport à ma propre expérience fin 2010 je vous confirme que tout s'était très bien passé avec lui et si je devais à nouveau le conseiller à un ami je le ferais sans réserve... Je ne veux pas polémiquer et je comprends fort bien que vous soyez déçus mais de là à le traiter d'escroc il y a tout de même un grand pas...

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Thanks!

Hi there,
I need some expert advice on these two destinations for a 15-day trip. We land in KL and plan to stay for 2 days before heading to Borneo and finishing with an island for snorkeling. For those who’ve been, what are your must-sees? We were thinking of spending the last 3 days on the Perhentian Islands, unless you’ve got another island to recommend near Borneo. Thanks for your tips and help!

Hi everyone,
Could you share your thoughts on my 3-week itinerary?
We’re a small group (family + friends) of 12 people, planning to leave around January 21, 2027.
Here’s my itinerary:
3 nights in Bangkok
4 nights in Chiang Mai
3 nights on Koh Samui
3 nights on Koh Phangan
4 nights in Krabi
4 nights in Phuket
I’m also open to any great tips you might have...
Thanks, everyone! Alain.
Hi! I’m planning a 15-day trip to Malaysia. The idea is to visit KL for 2 or 3 days, then Borneo, and I’m wondering what to do with the rest of the time. I’d like to finish with the Perhentian Islands... What do you think? Any tips or advice would be great—I’d really appreciate it!
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,
First trip to Vietnam.
We’ll be arriving in Ho Chi Minh City during Tet.
Is it complicated to find accommodation and get around during this period?
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks for your replies.
Hey everyone,
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip? I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Thanks! 🙂

Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Thanks, friends, if you’ve got any suggestions.

Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before: - Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Thanks, and long live the Nam! !

Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees. Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands. Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way). Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan. Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide). Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre. Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island. Day 10 – Head to Semporna. Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai. Day 15 – Bohey Dulang. Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous. I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing. I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture. But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary. If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Thanks for your opinions/answers! Marc Lamarre

Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi. Is it possible to take the train from Malacca to Ipoh? Thanks for your feedback.
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

Hello,
We’re a couple looking for a driver for 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam in April.
Best regards,
hi
I’ll be on a cruise on January 11, 2027. We’re stopping in Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My).
I’d love to see something other than the city—anyone have recommendations or a guide for 6-8 people with pickup at the port?
I’d really like to visit some rice paddies.
I’ll be on a cruise on January 11, 2027. We’re stopping in Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My).

Hi there,
I’m spending 4 days in Kuala Lumpur.
Could you let me know what’s absolutely worth visiting and what’s not really worth the effort?
Any suggested itinerary?
Apart from Batu Caves, I don’t have many ideas...
I’m traveling with my partner and our 16-year-old son.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai? Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai. My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Thanks for your tips! DrSnuggle

Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
Hi there
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok: No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna: From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄). Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM. Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau: Found this via AI—is it legit? No online booking, as far as I can tell. Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly???? And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Thanks for any tips—I’m stuck!

Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning March 24: Phnom Penh March 25: Phnom Penh March 26: Depart for Kampot March 27: Kampot March 28: Depart for Battambang March 29: Battambang March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap March 31: Siem Reap April 1: Siem Reap April 2: Siem Reap April 3: Siem Reap April 4: Siem Reap April 5: Departure
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.

🙂 Hi everyone!
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks everyone, take care and stay happy! ❤️
