He was very thoughtful, providing gloves and warming items when we faced cold and windy weather at the Ijen crater lake.

We are deeply grateful for this unique moment spent in his company. We highly recommend this excursion!"

"The trip is essential, especially given the challenging conditions of the hike and the natural hazards of the area. I joined a tour early in the morning, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Hamid was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights about the geology of the volcano, the sulfur mining process, and the importance of Ijen to local communities. They were also attentive, making sure me n my husband was well prepared for the hike with proper equipment and safety measures. thx a lot Hamid 🫡"

"went to mt ijen in july 2024 and our guide — Dhani did an amazing job navigating our group of 4 peeps through the trail! he was encouraging and supportive during the whole trail especially cause it rained and it made some of us panicked a little due to the slippery routes! will definitely look for them again if we were to hike ijen! thank you Dhani for looking after us! :)"
"I visited the Ijen crater with my guide Dhani. No regrets and I am glad I got him as my guide for this solo travel. He constantly checked up on me to make sure that I am doing well, brought me to safe spots to enjoy the view and take beautiful photos. He even explained to me the history behind how the mountain was formed which was amazing and very interesting. I would definitely be back to climb more mountains with him. Thank you Dhani and see you again💪🏽"
"I would like to recommend Dhani as a great guide!, Volcano trip is a trekking trip that requires attention and care. I was afraid to go in many places and it took me more time than other people. Dhani was very careful, he supported me on every step and carefully watched every person in the group. I am very glad that my trip was with Dhani and I want to give the best recommendations! If I went to the volcano again, it would only be with this guide."
"The best experience when I traveled in Indonesia. Banyuwangi was a very surprising city, climbing Mount Ijen to see one of the wonders of the world, bluefire. Moreover, my trip this time was accompanied by ijen crater tour, where I found many new friends there. Dhani van howell, he's a fun and funny boy, made my trip so many stories and fun in it. This trip will be a very precious moment for me to tell my children and grandchildren later and they must feel the same experience that is very impressive."
"Our trip to Kawah Ijen was truly one for the books, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Dhani. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized by the agency — from pick-up to drop-off, we felt safe, comfortable, and in great hands. Dhani was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He guided us through the night trek with patience and good energy, constantly making sure everyone in our group was doing okay. He shared so many interesting facts about the volcano, the miners, and the blue fire — things we would’ve never known without him. Watching the blue flames, reaching the crater at sunrise, and seeing the surreal landscape unfold in front of us was absolutely magical. And with Dhani leading the way, we felt like we were on a real adventure, not just another tourist trip. If you’re considering visiting Ijen, this is the agency you want to go with — and if you’re lucky enough to have Dhani as your guide, you’re in for something truly special."

"Climbing Mt. Ijen with Dhani was an unforgettable and amazing experience from start to finish. Despite us booking very last minute, he had everything set up and prepared spotlessly and was very responsive in answering our questions before the hike. We could really feel his passion for his work, he was kind, helpful and telling us many things about the volcanoes and Indonesia. We can recommend him to anyone looking for excellent guiding and tour planning around eastern Java. Take care and keep up the good work, Dhani!"
"My sister and I had an amazing time with Dhani. He was very friendly, informative and great to chat to as we climbed Ijen together. At all times he was very clear with our safety and made sure we were okay. We had so much fun, so much so we went out with him and is friends after."
"Unforgettable Bromo-Ijen Tour with the Best Guide – Dhani! As part of our trip to Indonesia, we did a 3-day, 2-night tour to Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen – and what can I say? It was absolutely spectacular! A very special thanks goes to our guide Dhani, who made this experience truly exceptional. From the very first moment, it was clear that Dhani is incredibly passionate about his work. He was not only extremely well-organized, punctual, and reliable, but also incredibly friendly, funny, and open to all our questions. With his deep knowledge of the volcanoes, the local culture, and the region, he enriched the tour in a very personal way. It didn’t feel like just checking off tourist sights – it felt more like traveling with a good friend who was proudly showing us his country. The sunrise tour at Mount Bromo was magical. Dhani knew exactly when and where we needed to be to catch the perfect light and the best view – without having to push through big crowds. Even the small details, like tea and Coffee were perfectly arranged. The climb to Kawah Ijen on the final night was definitely a challenge, but Dhani guided us safely and with so much motivation. What impressed us most was his consideration for the group’s pace and his deep respect for the sulfur miners, which he also passed on to us. One thing we especially appreciated: Dhani cares about sustainability, supports local businesses, and conveys a genuine understanding of the region – this truly sets him apart from many other guides. Final verdict: This tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Indonesia – breathtaking in terms of scenery, culturally enriching, and personally unforgettable. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat – and only with Dhani! If you're planning a Bromo-Ijen tour, make sure to book with him. It’s worth it in every way"
