Such an incredible experience! Our driver picked us up promptly and our guide Putu was so lovely and kind. Putu has trekked the mountain countless times but still appreciates the beauty of the hike. The trek is a little tough but your effort is so rewarded when you reach the summit. Putting your hands over the active steam vents is so amazing and we were blessed with rolling clouds, sunset and a full moon to guide us back down. Putu knew all the best spots to stop and take photos and also how to keep us safe for the trickier parts of the trek. One of our favourite things to do in Bali and my now fiancé and I got engaged at the summit so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

What an amazing morning! We could not have asked for a better trek experience for Mount Batur. Having seen reviews for other Mount Batur treks being extremely busy, we were attracted to this trek through Seek Sophie and it did not disappoint. We were picked up from our hotel early in the morning by our driver Komang (who was fantastic) and arrived at the foot of Mount Batur in a quiet village to begin our trek. We were extremely lucky to have Yus as our guide for the trek and he made the morning exceptional. Yus was able to provide us with knowledge of the local area as we ascended and once reaching the top, made sure to take us to certain points on the mountain before sunrise, ahead of the usual rush once the sun had risen. This was really cool as we were able to see the thermal pockets in the mountain and get photos without there being many others around. Although it was unfortunately cloudy when the sun did rise, Yus again provided his knowledge and advised that we stay at the summit for another 10-15 minutes to see if the weather would clear. We are so glad we had Yus to advise, as the weather improved and we got some incredible photos as a result. The whole Seek Sophie team were great from start to finish and we would highly advise others to book this trek - it was exactly what we wanted and more. Thanks Yus and Komang!

Had an amazing experience on the Batur sunrise hike today! Big thanks to Aji, our driver, who picked us up and dropped us off in Ubud. Yus, our guide on the hike, was a real pleasure. He let us take our time and was great company during the hike. He helped take great pictures from the top and gave us lots of recommendations for food to try while we are here. Overall, a great trip and would highly recommend Seek Sophie!
