Absolutely beautiful views that's worth the steep but short trek. Sunrise was like no other, could see another entire island from the viewpoint. Got some nice food recommendations from Yosi (I am currently eating from the place he recommended.) And Wi was a very cheerful guide that was great at making jokes and taking pictures. He also was appreciative of my wife and her back injury that she had before the trek.

It was a tough hike, but so worth it. The views and the tranquility were incomparable to anything I'd experienced prior. Being just myself and the guide doing the trek that particular morning felt very surreal. Mr. Wi is an experienced guide, very knowledgeable and he was of the utmost help to me. You can take the trail at your own pace, and he does a great job making sure you're able to manage. My thanks to Justin as well, who was my driver to the start point and back from my villa. He was very helpful to me throughout my whole week in Bali. I recommend this trek to anyone looking to challenge themselves and push their own limits, I'd love to do it again when I have the chance to!

This was an absolutely spectacular tour from start to finish! From the moment I was picked up, every detail of the day was perfectly arranged to create an unforgettable adventure. The main event, the Mount Batur sunrise trek, was truly magical. A quick boat ride across the lake brought us to the trailhead, where my fantastic guide, Wi, led the way. Thanks to his expertise, we made the exhilarating ascent in just 30-35 minutes! Reaching the summit was rewarded with the most breathtaking sunrise and panoramic views that words simply can't describe. Enjoying a simple breakfast of coffee, an egg, banana, and more while watching the world wake up from that vantage point was a moment I will never forget. The day was packed with more amazing experiences. After the trek, we enjoyed a boat tour on the lake, seeing the majestic Patung Dewi Danu statue. The visit to the natural hot springs was a unique and relaxing experience. However, a major highlight was lunch at Paper Hills—this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! The views are jaw-dropping, the food is incredible, and it's all surprisingly affordable. We capped off the perfect day at a coffee plantation, where I sampled 14 varieties of delicious coffee and tea and even tried the famous wild Kopi Luwak all with amazing views as well. It was a privilege to pack so many incredible memories into a single day. A huge and special thanks to my driver, Yoshi, for his safe and friendly service, and especially to my trekking guide, Wi, for an out-of-this-world tour. Thank you, Seek Sophie, for this flawless experience. If you are considering this tour, do it! You will be completely satisfied. If you get lucky enough to get Yoshi as a driver, please tell him hello from Andres for me. **SPOILER ALERT** DONT LOOK AT THE PHOTOS if you want this to be a surprise!

We loved the exclusivity of the experience and the personal touch. I would recommend trusting your guide and following their advice. Our guide was very helpful especially to our 19 year old who halfway through our Mt Batue trek wanted to give up. He spoke with her and assisted her and she conquered the summit. It helped her believe she too can do this. And the sunrise was the icing on the cake!

Really amazing experience!! The photos and the description do not do this trip justice. The boat across the lake is stunning, you get to see a temple on the water and a shrine to the water goddess too. Our local guide Wi was awesome, so friendly and taught us about local culture on the way up and down the mountain. The breakfast on the top of the mountain with the most amazing views, I will never forget. Wi's photography will make sure you have memories to keep forever. We were so lucky to see the sunrise with all 5 mountains! Our driver Yosi was so kind and friendly, he also taught us about local culture and even took us to a cafe on the way back with the most insane mountain views, when I said I would like to stop at one. Probably the best trip of my life, you have to do it to see how great it is! (There are even better photos on my boyfriends phone, views were insane!)
