The unique Mount Batur hike and boat trip was a fantastic way to spend a day in Bali. The views were beautiful. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The pre-dawn boat ride, and waterfall visit (add-on) made for a memorable experience. Not for those with mobility issues as the path was steep and slippery in parts.

A must-do if you’ve never done it! The experience was absolutely exceptional. We were picked up by Émon at 2:45 am—he was very punctual and professional—and then we met Wira, our guide for the ascent. We hiked up and reached the top before sunrise. Wira was very kind and did everything he could to ensure our experience was great. We then had coffee at the top of Mount Batur while watching the sunrise and began our descent. Overall, yes, there are a lot of tourists, but honestly, the view is worth it. Thank you!

I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was excellent from start to finish, with excellent communication, punctual pick up and excellent driving from our driver Ketut. Our guide Yus had excellent knowledge about the history and geography of the mountain and knew just how to avoid the crowds. He was very attentive and made sure that we were walking at a pace that suited everyone. He was also a very talented photographer and helped us get unique pictures at the top. Make sure to wear shoes with a good grip and take lots of layers as it’s pretty cold at the top!

Justin picked us up at 1:15AM and drove skillfully for over 2.5h to our starting point where we took a short walk to catch a boat ride across the Batur Lake to start our hike. The hike was a lot more challenging than we expected as there were several sections which were very steep and with loose soil and slippery rocks, but thankfully we had Nawa’s solid guidance so we had minimal falls! We were glad that we had opted to do this trek instead as the sunrise was amazing! With much fewer people at this trek, it was almost like a private viewing, especially when we looked across the lake to see hundreds of headlights on Mt Batur and watched the clouds slowly pass over the peak as the sun rose. With relatively clear skies, we saw Mt Rinjani peeking over the clouds while Mt Agung and Mt Abang glowed in the morning sun. Nawa also took such incredible and artistic photos, a beautiful keepsake for all time. We also opted for a waterfall add-on and we took up Justin’s recommendation to head to Goa Raja instead of Kanto Lampo and we’re glad we did!

Such an amazing and extremely well organized experience. Everything went smoothly and the whole thing was super unique and fun. The guides we went with- Wi and Nongno were so pleasant, helpful and interesting to talk to. Wi knew so much about the area around Mount Batur and told us so many things we would never have learnt of otherwise. Nongno took the most amazing photos and videos of us. The climb to the viewpoint was tiring (quite steep albeit a short hike) but SO worth it. The views were to die for! Apparently way better than the views on top of Mount Batur- we could see 5 mountain peaks from here!. And so private- there was just my husband and me, and another lady plus our two guides. A special mention to our driver Yosi who was prompt and extremely polite. Overall a 5 star experience and we’re so glad we went with Bali Yok and not with a conventional touristy and overcrowded Mount Batur trek! Highly recommend! Probably the only thing we would have skipped if we had a do over, was the Trungyun cemetery visit, which, although enlightening, seemed like a pretty steep price for the experience- 150k IDR per person for just 10-15 minutes of walking around a small cemetery. But everything else was absolutely brilliant! Thanks again Justin and team!

Wir waren heute Morgen auf der Mount Batur Hiking Tour mit unserem Guide Wira unterwegs. Er hat unsere kleine Truppe von 4 Personen (5 mit ihm) super an den Gipfel geführt und hat sich dabei auch an die unterschiedlichen Laufgeschwindigkeiten angepasst. Schon knapp eine Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang sind wir dann oben angekommen und konnten dementsprechend unser Frühstück (Toast mit Banane, sowie Bananen und Kaffe/Tee/Kakao + einen Schokoriegel) genießen. Später wurde es recht voll aber während des Auf- und Abstieges hat man das nicht wirklich mitbekommen. Insgesamt also mehr als gelungen!!!
