Have you ever wanted to go to an amazing natural tourist destination, but when you know the terrain is challenging, you immediately think twice? Well, that's what I felt when I first wanted to climb Ijen Crater.
The attractions are incredible, from the rare Blue Fire to the stunning panorama of the crater. But, the thought of having to climb three kilometers with a steep path made me a little hesitant. Luckily, there's a solution that makes this trip exciting without having to mess around: Ojek Gerobak!
Actually, I had doubts when I saw these carts lined up at the Paltuding post. The carts that are usually used by sulfur miners are now transformed into alternative transportation for tourists. "When do I ride a cart?" I thought. But after seeing some other tourists casually sitting in the cart while enjoying the trip, I was tempted to try.
Apparently, riding this Motorcycle Taxi Cart not only makes the trip easier, but also provides a unique experience that you won't get if you just walk. The cart pushers who are used to this line are very deft, and ensure that passengers stay comfortable. I was finally able to enjoy the trip while occasionally recording videos without having to stop breathing.
Of course, this convenience comes at a price. When I asked one of the cart pushers, they offered several package options:
Indeed, when compared to free walking, the price is quite decent. But for me who wants to enjoy the trip without having to get tired, it feels like it's worth the investment. After all, the money we spend also helps the economy of local residents, most of whom are former sulfur miners.
Throughout the trip, I was really able to enjoy the beauty of Ijen Crater without having to feel burdened. The trail which is quite challenging actually feels more exciting because I can see other climbers struggling uphill, while I can relax and enjoy the scenery. It feels like riding a mountain rickshaw! Occasionally, the cart drivers joked and shared stories about their experiences transporting tourists from different countries.
As soon as he reached the top, a sense of amazement immediately burst out. The magnificent view of Ijen Crater really makes this trip feel worth it. I was able to enjoy every moment, take a lot of photos, and watch Blue Fire more relaxed without getting too tired.
If you are the type of traveler who likes challenges and wants to feel the sensation of climbing to the fullest, maybe you can choose to walk. But if you want to enjoy the trip without having to run out of energy, this Cart Motorcycle Taxi is really a solution worth trying. In addition, using this service also supports cart drivers who depend on their livelihoods from this job.
So, if one day you plan to go to Ijen Crater and want to enjoy the trip in a more relaxed way, I highly recommend trying the Cart Motorcycle Tax. It's not just about convenience, it's also a unique experience that will make your trip even more memorable!
