It was a very well oiled trip! We met our lovely driver Rantini who drove us to the village surrounding Mount Batur - she drove very safely and made us feel very comfortable! (Especially in the dark and windy roads!) We then met our fabulous guide Ageng - he was very knowledgable and got us up and down safely! He also taught us information about the local village and family life which was a lovely touch! He provided information as we went and offered lots of support and stops as required! He made us a hot drink and breakfast at the top and was an excellent photographer! The trip to the coffee plantation was great and a nice opportunity to try local teas and coffees! Thank you all to who made it possible :)

Booked: Small Group Mount Batur Sunrise Trek | Transport Included

Communication ahead of hike day and pick up was on time. I chose the Besakih route, though in hindsight, given my fitness level I should have gone with the Pasar Agung route. The hike started at 11.30pm, I made it to checkpoint 2 (base camp) and arrived at the starting point at 9.20am. The view was good though I imagined better at the peaks. Do be aware of your fitness level and choose the route to go with. My guide was decent and quite good, he was being real about not pushing to the limit, but also very supportive in challenging spots. Smooth experience overall! Would recommend this package!

Great experience all along the way. From organizing pick up to our driver and our hiking guide, everyone was so kind and professional. They took care of everything so all we had to do was show up ready to hike! Our hiking guide was kind and knowledgeable. I think he kept a perfect pace for us. And he even helped my husband out with knee braces when his knees were starting to feel fatigued going down. This was a challenging hike but worth every step.

Guide Rudy was great and knowledgeable. Was very generous to share his extra equipment that would help in the hike. He also shared history of the volcano and dropped fun facts here and there which was interesting. Do note that the trek can get quite demanding regardless of weather so a good pair of shoes and layers will help with the cold at the top. The other guides are all friendly and willing to lend a helping hand even if the hikers are not under their care. Overall a great experience for my first Mt Agung hike!

It was a pretty good trip. I think that I thought there would be a better value for what we were paying for the trip. We paid for 6 people (2 adults/4 kids). I think if we would have just paid for 2 adults the value would have been great, but since we paid nearly $500 USD it didn't seem to be a great value. That being said, all of the hosts and guides were amazing and I am glad to pay the money so hopefully they will get paid well for the trip. Pros: Amazing hosts Breakfast amazing Lunch was amazing Hike was very easy for kids and very informational which we enjoyed The boat ride was fun although short. The waterfalls were amazing! (challenging hike back up to the car with 4 kids) Cons: not great value boat was made of fiberglass not a true "dugout" as was mentioned in the listing
