This Mt Batur experience will take you off-the-beaten path with the best and most heartfelt guide - just read the reviews!This experience offers a shorter and easier climb to the caldera rim, making it accessible to people of different fitness levels. Plus, the views from the caldera rim are just as breathtaking (if not better) than the summit, without the crowds.The experience also includes a serene and magical boat ride across Lake Batur, where you can take in the tranquil beauty of the lake and its surroundings. Our optional add-ons include visiting Trunyan Village, an ancient Bali Aga village, and relaxing in a hot spring in the Kintamani area.

It will take about 20-30min to cross while you watch the stars glimmer in the night sky and get to the hillside of the caldera. The Ascent and Sunrise It will take 45 minutes to 1 hour to get to the top. The terrain is a fairly mild upward gradient surrounded by jungle vegetation. You will reach around 5.30-6am just in time for the sunrise.

The Descent You will make your way down the same trail you arrived. From there you will get back on the boat and take a short ride just a bit further up the shore to get to Trunyan Village.

Hi, we would like to book with hot spring add-on. Does Grade A refer to Toya Devasya hot spring and Grade B to Batur hot springs?
Cathy, 05 Jun 2023
Hi Cathy,
The Grade A hot spring at Toya Devasya and Grade B hot spring at Batur.
I'm planning to add-on the Hot Springs after the Batur Caldera Hike. Is there a place to change out of our hiking gear to swimwear in the area?
Donna Alvior, 24 May 2023
Hi Donna,
Yes, there is a changing room in the hot spring which you can use to change your fits :)
Hi, we would like to book the tour with our 7 year old son. He’s very active and starting hiking as young as 4. He’s done many 10+ kilometers hike so we don’t foresee any problem with him. You have an age limit of 10 for booking. So I want to double check that we can book for 3 still? Thanks.

Hi, my husband and I are keen on the Mt Batur - Unique Route + Trunyan village add-on trip. We will be checking out of our accomodation in Ubud and intending to spend a night in Kintamani after visiting Trunyan village. Are we able to request for the driver to bring us for lunch and subsequently drop us off at our accomodation in Kintamani, instead of the return trip back to Ubud? Since this trip technically includes both pick up and drop off. Thanks!

Hi Shee Mun, sure thing! we can do that as long as the lunch is still in Kintamani area :)
Hope it helps!
