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.
