Wow! Wow! WOW! I'm so glad I took this trip. As I was travelling solo and booked late, it was just me on the tour, but that made it all the more special and fully personalized. Intan, the driver, communicated the night before to arrange the 2:15 a.m. (yes, really!) pick up time from my hotel in Ubud, and she arrived promptly. We had a great time chatting in the vehicle as she carefully navigated dark roads and stray dogs, letting me ask her a litany of questions and, in turn, sharing her curiosity about my country. I really enjoyed the ride both ways simply spending time with her. At the start of the volcano, I was then introduced to my guide, Wira. Like Alit, he was super attentive, helping me ensure my headlamp was well-positioned, getting me a walking stick (seriously helps as you're walking up in the dark and saves your knees a bit on the way down), and always making sure I was doing fine. Although he was wayyy younger than me, he always checked that the pace was fine and suggested water breaks at the benches/huts as we encountered them. It was lovely just slogging uphill (as hard as it was) in good company and learning about Mt. Batur, and the region's agriculatural area, which he's from. That helped distract a bit from the challenge--which is WORTH IT if you can manage. When we summitted, after high-fiving, Wira quickly got me some hot coffee and breakfast, which I devoured the sun slowly creeped up in the darkness while other hikers milled about doing the same. Then we continued in daylight along the spine of Mt. Batur, to absolutely spellbinding panoramas of the crater, the lake, the steam vents, neighbouring mountains... It really took my breath away. Wira snapped lots of photos of me (and he's a great photog), so I have some awesome memories of tackling this hike "solo"--with my guide and new friend. I can't say enough about both these young locals who made this experience one for my record books.

Yoshi and Wi were the most experienced and friendly driver and guide you could wish for. The experience was a highlight. We had the whole mountain and sunrise to ourselves. Thank you !!

Koman my guide, was proof that great knowledge and insights communicated clearly are far more compelling than being kept busy with a bike ride or a lunch ir a waterfall. Pure information without any distractions. Koman didn’t just merely recite some script but tether as the son of farmers, he shared the evolution of rice farming and the current challenges of allocation of water resources, pressures to convert rice fields to development , and issues of soil quality and pest control. If this sounds boring and academic, trust me, Koman articulated himself in an incredibly simple and accessible way. His info got me thinking not just listening! The scenery is of course beautiful. And no other tourists in sight!

The perfect hike. 8 year girl came. Fine for patient and fit kids — club swimmer ; as well as anyone with moderate sports background — middle aged female distance runner. 45 minutes straight up on uneven ground that required minimal clambering up and down muddy rocks. But very doable. The perfect trip. So beautiful and isolated. Totally had the village and path to ourselves. Bali how it used to be. No one knows about this route. I’m afraid the secret will soon get out. Our guide Wi and our driver Justin were open , safe, and patient. The boat ride across the volcanic lake in the dead of night is a highlight. It’s all very mysterious.
