Join us to see two erupting volcanoes! A very interesting eruption is in progress at one of the world's most active volcanoes, Karangetang on the relatively remote small island of Siau in northern Indonesia:
since late January 2023, a new lava dome has appeared on the southern summit crater and has been producing spectacular lava flows and incandescent rockfalls.
If you're ready to pack and leave on short notice, this adventurous tour is for you, offering the best chance to see red lava from close and with our most experienced expedition organizer in Indonesia.
We combine the expedition with a visit to famous Krakatau volcano, which is also active at the moment.
