I highly recommend this trek with seek Sophie! From pick-up to drop off we were very happy with our experience. Our driver was very communicative and on time for pick-up. Our guide, Mister, was great - very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Although it’s an early morning start, the view at the top is so worth it. We also liked that the hike was pretty private - it was just the two of us and our guide which made the hike much more enjoyable as we could go at our own pace and the trails were also not packed.

Angi is a great driver and guide! Eveything was organised very good. Also local guide Isha at Kawah Ijen was really nice and told a lot about Ijen and sulfate. He made a nice little video for us off all the pictures he took. Nature on this trip is amazingly beautiful. We definetly recommend this trip. Thank you Angi and Isha.

This experience was 10/10. We wanted to do a sunrise hike but we felt that Mt Batur was a bit too intense for us, so we opted for this hike instead and it was very good. It took us around an hour to get to the top and our tour guide Denis was very patient and helpful with us (we needed a lot of brakes). The top of the mountain was magical and tranquil. Definitely recommend!

Booked: Bali's Best Kept Secret: Unique Mt Batur Trek and Lake Batur Boat Ride

I had such a wonderful experience on the Batur Caldera hike! The view was absolutely breathtaking — we could see four mountains and had a direct view of the sunrise. Our guides, Kadek and Wi, were amazing — very friendly, helpful, and confident. As locals who know the area extremely well, they made me feel completely safe and at ease throughout the hike. This isn’t the classic Mount Batur hike, which makes it even more special. The spot we visited is privately owned by the team, so we were completely alone at the top — no crowds at all! They even set up small tables for us to sit comfortably and enjoy breakfast while watching the sunrise. It was such a peaceful and magical moment. A special shoutout to Wi, who’s also a fantastic photographer — he captured some truly beautiful photos! Overall, it was an amazing and unique experience. I loved learning about local life and stories from our guides. The mountains and Lake Batur are simply magical. Highly recommended! 🌄✨

Explore the bit more unknown Bali. We did the Ancient jungle trekking and remote waterfalls experience and loved all elements of it. Our driver Rian introduced us to a local market on the way. We tried nearly all the different fruits and snacks. Nearly full we had a yummy breakfast with a view. Next stop rainforest with local guide Ilu who had grown up in the area and knew a lot about the plants and animals. In between we crossed the lake in a canoe, walked a bit further to our lunch in the village. Waterfalls were next. There were hardly any people there. Highly recommend the whole experience.

I had an absolutely amazing experience on this trip with two of my friends. The one-hour trek to the top was just the right amount of challenge — refreshing, a bit exhausting, but very rewarding. When we reached the summit, we were greeted by the most gorgeous sunrise over the mountains. It was truly unforgettable and worth every step. Highly recommend!
