Mt Batur Trek and Lake Batur Boat Ride sunrise hike was well beyond our expectations. The group size was 5 people and it really felt a private tour. Our trek guides, boat captain and driver (Yosi) were all competent, pleasant and very helpful. It was one of the best tours I have ever had. The trek takes about one hour to the top. It is a bit challenging due to the rocks and loose sand, but it is manageable. The award awaits at the top where you get a simple breakfast and a wonderful view.

Fantastic experience - excellent guide taking us across the lake and up the mountain - it was just us (family of 4) in the group, and only a handful of other people at the top. It felt really special and we got the views all to ourselves - saw the 4 volcanoes. We saw the many torch lights on Mount Batur and were very glad that we had our own private viewpoint! The ginger tea and simple breakfast delivered by a lady carrying everything on her head also hit just the right spot. Highly recommend this experience!

We loved this experience and can recommend it. Far nicer to welcome in the sunrise iover multiple volcanoes on our own, rather than with hordes of other hikers :-). You're actually on the outer rim of the original Batur volcanoe, whereas most hikers are on the newer volcano ("baby Batur"). We stayed in Desa Occulus in Kintamani and so had only a short trip (15 minutes) to the boat, meaning we had a slightly later start than those travelling in from Ubud and other areas, which I would recommend. It was quite chilly on the boat, so I would recommend dressing in layers. Once you start up the hill, you warm up quickly! Our guide was lovely, but had a tendency to hop up the mountain like a mountain goat. He reacted well when we asked him ( a few times) to slow down. As it was, the hike up took less than an hour, despite frequent breaks. It is, however, a bit of a challenge for the knees on the way down. Please bear in mind that the path is narrow, quite overgrown and steep (not a gentle stroll). This is the only trip we booked over an international website rather than locally and was more expensive than anything else we booked locally. If I did this again, I would find a local guide. This is generally simple - just ask at the hotel, they always know someone - and far cheaper, beside ensuring that all the money stays with the locals.

Mount Batur FAQs

How long does it take to climb Mount Batur?
It can take 1-2 hours to summit Mt Batur, depending on how fit you are - so in total going up and down will take you 4 hours. If you do the alternative Batur caldera route (which has 20-40 persons a day compared to the usual summit route of 300-600 persons), it'll take 30-60 minutes to climb each way.
How hard is it to climb Mount Batur?
It's one of the easiest volcano climbs, and is very beginner-friendly. The climb is on a very well-trodden path, the incline isn't very steep, and it only takes 1-2 hours each way (4 hours in total). So if you're able to walk for 4 hours on a moderately inclined path, you should be able to do the climb without much trouble.
Is Mount Batur worth it?
It is the most popular hike in Bali because you get to see a gorgeous sunrise (in good weather!), panoramic views over Lombok island and Mt Agung after a reasonably easy hike. So it's worth it if all you're looking for is some time out in nature and a good view. The only downside is that the mountain is very touristed, and it sees 300-600 hikers a day - so you will have lots of people around you during the climb. If you prefer a less touristed route we would highly recommend the alternative Batur caldera climb which only sees 30-40 persons a day - this climb is slightly easier (half the time), it gives you a gorgeous panoramic view and it also includes a boat ride across the Batur caldera lake which is cool!
What are the best activities to do at Mount Batur?
Some of the best activities to do at Mount Batur include hiking to the summit to catch the sunrise, exploring the volcanic crater, and enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot springs.
What is the best time to visit Mount Batur for a sunrise hike?
The best time to visit Mount Batur for a sunrise hike is early in the morning, typically starting the hike around 4am to reach the summit in time for sunrise.
