We had such an incredible experience hiking up the mountain and the views at the top did not disappoint!
We had a love driver, Jezu, and guide, Putu, who were not only incredibly helpful and patient but made it all about the experience vs quickly getting to the top.
My husband and I were the only people on this trip and with only a handful of others at the top this felt like a private luxury tour 🤩
We enjoy a good run and decided to run sown the mountain at the end which resulted in a 20min down trek. This was a lot of fun! Would recommend for the trail runners out there.
The only negative was as were were going up a gentleman joined the group, and he obviously knew the guide, and he kept pressuring is to buy water and bracelets. He was extremely pushy and as we were very much alone on this 1.5h trek with this man we did not want to cause any issues so we bought a water and bracelets wherever he left (this was already when we reached the top). This soured some of the excitement as it was such a nice trip but with almost no money on us and this guy being pushy, it did not feel very good.
Overall would recommend the hike! As a note I did not see other hikers with more people than their guide with them so this seemed very coordinated and this guy tried to sell his stuff at the top to the other hikers.
Maybe try another service for this hike if they are linked to these people cornering you on the mountain to buy from them.

Hike was pretty smooth. 11pm to 11am for an occasional hiker. Can be quite tough if no experience. Headlightbmake sure can last at least 6 hours. The driver Made Sugi was very nice. Picked up at the airport and drop-off at the habour as requested. He waited for me overnight sleeping in the car. The guide was there for the job but there was a lack of communication as he is not fluent in English. But overall,everything went well and Mt Agung was brilliant.

Booked: Mount Agung Sunrise Trekking
Sunrise was beautiful, we were lucky to have clear skies! Kadek, our trekking guide, was very helpful in helping us up and down the mountain! Yosi, our driver, was very nice to share some cultural information as well. We had a really good time with them😊
Tip: do wear shoes with good grip as the terrain was slippery (also because it was wet from rain). It was cold at the top too, so bring a windbreaker!

Overall we had a very good time on our tour and would recommend using this company wholeheartedly. Arif was a lovely and extremely helpful driver, the hotels we stayed in were clean, in great locations, and had hot showers and decent restaurants, the activities on the tour were fun and the company made sure we had everything we needed i.e. headlamps/gas masks/water shoes. Half of our group was also ill on the tour but Arif allowed us to miss certain activities when necessary and would arrange to come back for us later, and even the unwell members had a good time. The local guides used throughout were extremely friendly, although they did have differing levels of English, but they kept everyone safe and took some great photos and videos if that’s what you’re after! Particularly the guide at Ijen, which was a stressful trek at times, but he really made sure everyone was ok. The main reasoning for not giving the tour 5 stars is because we felt a little unprepared for the activities we were going on. We were sent an itinerary beforehand, but this was very flexible and wake-up times and driving times were often changed. While this was a good thing in many respects as Arif made sure we were ahead of the crowds, which there could be a lot of, it did require some pretty early mornings. For Bromo, we left at 2am for the sunrise despite staying as close as you can get, meaning we were there 2 hours before sunrise and the other tourists didn’t necessarily respect the fact we had got there first on the pretty cold mountain. Also, the levels of difficulty and risk of the activities were slightly undersold, Ijen was more challenging than expected, we were told we did not need hiking boots, but as it was raining, which is obviously not in the companies control, it was pretty steep and slippy, so those in trainers found it quite difficult to remain stable which is not ideal on the edge of a volcano crater. Bromo is also advertised as a set of stairs, which it is but be aware that the altitude can make this harder than you expect, we are a group of relatively fit people in our early 20s, but there is not much time to adjust to the altitude due to the fast pace of the tour, so be prepared for a bit of a workout! Tumpak Sewu was beautiful but a little scary, the ladders down are quite precarious and you have to cross the river by wading through it holding onto a rope, again we still enjoyed and felt safe enough, but it would be good to know if you are scared of wobbly and slippy steps with quite a steep incline and decline. I also wouldn’t have worn trousers if I had known! Overall, none of these things took away from our enjoyment, but it would be good to be prepared. I do not expect the driver or guides to speak perfect english, but maybe a more specific packing list and itinerary could be sent before the trip to make sure everyone knows what’s going on. Also, if you get motion sickness, be prepared for the car journeys, while Arif was a very very good driver, Indonesian driving can be pretty intense compared to what we are used to, and the windy and bumpy mountain roads could be a little uncomfortable, especially as we had no seatbelts! The communication with the company was still good, for example they recommended we rearrange to avoid a public holiday and clearly had our best interests at heart, maybe we should’ve done a little more research so I can’t blame the tour entirely for unpreparedness and we often felt ahead of the game compared to other tour groups we saw. In terms of value and enjoyment we would definitely recommend this trip, East Java is a beautiful and exciting place and I’m sure you will have a great time if you book.

The views were lovely, as was our guide, who took some great photos and videos of us at the top. Cooking eggs on the volcano steam was a novelty. Not too difficult of a climb up for most fitness levels, though very slippery coming back down due to the nature of volcanic grit. Climbing down after dark was very hard, even with head lamps/torches. I fell 4 times (and have hiked 6 other volcanoes without falling, just never in the dark!). Be prepared for the possibility of scrapes, bruises and sprains.

The guide hirman was a very good guide and he made sure we were well looked after. We were suppose to go for the sunrise tour but after booking then only was told that the time we are there there is a prayer (yadna kasadya) and it was closed so we had to change to the sunset tour instead. Nevertheless we had a great time and hirman also helped to look after our 2 kids especially when they were climbing up and down the volcano while we were still struggling to catch up. Great tour!

Our mountain trek was an unforgettable adventure! Unlike the crowded trails of Mount Batur, this trek felt exclusive and peaceful, with no touristy hustle. Our guides, Wi and Denis, who grew up in the area, were absolutely fantastic — super friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing their local insights. They made the whole journey fun and meaningful, and took some great photos that we will cherish considering we were on our honeymoon!
Yosi, our driver, was also great; he gave us lots of fascinating information about Bali on the way to the trek. The boat ride to the mountain itself was amazing, and the trek itself was truly epic — breathtaking views, a real sense of adventure, and the perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment.
It’s so reassuring to know that the money we paid for this trek goes right back into the local economy, supporting the community and the wonderful people who made this trip so special.
Highly recommend this unique and unforgettable experience!

Brilliant tour this morning with the team! Our guide for the mountain hike was Yus who was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable! We did the hike with the guide, visited the springs and then the coffee plantation on our way home. Our driver Aji was also very good and efficient! I would 100% recommend this trip!
