We had such an incredible time! The trek was a little challenging for us, but totally doable. We just aren’t used to the humidity of Bali (we are from a cold climate). Our guide made sure to stay at our pace, pausing and pointing out a good place to rest when we needed a break, and we still make it to the top with plenty of time to spare before the sunrise. The views were amazing, and our guide took amazing photos and videos of us while answering any questions we had. Bali Yok even went above and beyond, reaching out to us early to let us know another large group would be climbing the same time as us, offering alternative dates if we preferred a more private experience. Overall, we are so glad we decided to book this experience instead of the traditional Mt Batur trek. The breathtaking views and the less crowded caldera summit gave us the opportunity to take in the beauty without being surrounded by hundreds of others. We can’t wait to come back and book again with friends!

Would recommend wearing shoes with good grip like trail running shoes or hiking shoes. Guide checked in on the tough bits of the hike. We were fortunate with the weather such that we could actually see the sunrise.

Booked: Small Group Mount Batur Sunrise Trek | Transport Included

We had such an incredible experience hiking up the mountain and the views at the top did not disappoint! We had a love driver, Jezu, and guide, Putu, who were not only incredibly helpful and patient but made it all about the experience vs quickly getting to the top. My husband and I were the only people on this trip and with only a handful of others at the top this felt like a private luxury tour 🤩 We enjoy a good run and decided to run sown the mountain at the end which resulted in a 20min down trek. This was a lot of fun! Would recommend for the trail runners out there. The only negative was as were were going up a gentleman joined the group, and he obviously knew the guide, and he kept pressuring is to buy water and bracelets. He was extremely pushy and as we were very much alone on this 1.5h trek with this man we did not want to cause any issues so we bought a water and bracelets wherever he left (this was already when we reached the top). This soured some of the excitement as it was such a nice trip but with almost no money on us and this guy being pushy, it did not feel very good. Overall would recommend the hike! As a note I did not see other hikers with more people than their guide with them so this seemed very coordinated and this guy tried to sell his stuff at the top to the other hikers. Maybe try another service for this hike if they are linked to these people cornering you on the mountain to buy from them.

Sunrise was beautiful, we were lucky to have clear skies! Kadek, our trekking guide, was very helpful in helping us up and down the mountain! Yosi, our driver, was very nice to share some cultural information as well. We had a really good time with them😊 Tip: do wear shoes with good grip as the terrain was slippery (also because it was wet from rain). It was cold at the top too, so bring a windbreaker!

The views were lovely, as was our guide, who took some great photos and videos of us at the top. Cooking eggs on the volcano steam was a novelty. Not too difficult of a climb up for most fitness levels, though very slippery coming back down due to the nature of volcanic grit. Climbing down after dark was very hard, even with head lamps/torches. I fell 4 times (and have hiked 6 other volcanoes without falling, just never in the dark!). Be prepared for the possibility of scrapes, bruises and sprains.

Our mountain trek was an unforgettable adventure! Unlike the crowded trails of Mount Batur, this trek felt exclusive and peaceful, with no touristy hustle. Our guides, Wi and Denis, who grew up in the area, were absolutely fantastic — super friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing their local insights. They made the whole journey fun and meaningful, and took some great photos that we will cherish considering we were on our honeymoon! Yosi, our driver, was also great; he gave us lots of fascinating information about Bali on the way to the trek. The boat ride to the mountain itself was amazing, and the trek itself was truly epic — breathtaking views, a real sense of adventure, and the perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. It’s so reassuring to know that the money we paid for this trek goes right back into the local economy, supporting the community and the wonderful people who made this trip so special. Highly recommend this unique and unforgettable experience!
