We had a great experience thru out the whole journey. Ari is such a great guide and it makes our hike to the summit so much easier. The view is the final reward and its so breathtaking. Thank you Justin for the journey & we had a wonderful time

Thank you for the most amazing trip to Mount Batur! It was a true pleasure from start to finish and local guide Yus made sure we had the best experience. He was so professionel and kind and I would really recommend him for anyone who wants a unique tour little away from the crowds that hike Mount Batur. Yus made sure we had the best viewpoint of them all and safely guided us both up and down avoiding the crowded paths. Together with the driver Ketut that picked us up at our hotel in the night, they form a team, that made the whole experience so worth it! Thank you guys!

Booked: Small Group Mount Batur Sunrise Trek | Transport Included

The hike was a little steep but, really short. I think it was about half an hour but, it was the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen. The guides were super knowledgeable about the area and the traditions and were more than happy to share their experiences with us. The transportation was also incredibly seamless.

Our driver Ketut was nice and friendly and on time! Really knowledgeable and shared parts of Bali’s history with us! Our guide, Setiti was really friendly and so helpful! She kept to our pace and helped us so much while climbing up and down the mountain. Plenty of hand holding as we navigate down the mountain together! Super great pair of guides!

Booked: Private Mount Batur Sunrise Trek | Stop at Coffee Farm

We had a wonderful half day walking through the kampungs and rice fields around Senaru. Yumi and Malai were wonderful guides who were happy to share their knowledge on the culture, flora and fauna of the region. We finished up with a visit to a beautiful waterfall but the absolute highlight for us had to be having a delicious dinner of local dishes (the tempeh was wonderful) while sat in a farmers bamboo shack in the middle of the rice terraces. Definitely recommend the walk and Rinjani women adventure we will definitely use them again when we next back in Lombok - perhaps we will do the volcano next time!!

We chose a wrong day to do this trip as it was cloudy and a bit of drizzle. Climbed all the way up, waited for almost an hour but couldn't see the sun at all. But still we thought the trip was worth it in terms of adventure - waking up at 1am, car ride in the rain all the way to Batur, the boat ride and then the hot springs - we really enjoyed it. Justin, our driver was absolutely great - possibly the nicest and the most intelligent person we met in Bali. His knowledge of the area, driving skills and his talks about current world affairs meant we were never bored during the car ride. Our guide during the climb Wi was also outstanding - he went out of his way to help my 10 year old daughter all the way during the climb as the track was very slippery due to rain. He had a good knowledge of the history of Mount Batur, the lake and surrounding areas.
