Our guide, Wi, and Bagus, both were very friendly and spoke English well. We especially enjoyed hiking with Wi and listening to all his stories. He was knowagable and watchful over us. He and Denis took really nice photos of us at the summit too! The team, including Justin (who made all the necessary arrangements), took good care of us. Information was provided in a timely manner and very detailed. We would be happy to book with them again!

We loved this hike! So glad we found this tour. It is off the beaten path and you dont get the same crowds as mount batur. We had just one other group of two with us. The hike is not as long as mount batur but that does not mean itis any less challenging! The breakfast at the top was a great reward for the journey. We got to see the most beautiful sunrise and Wi, our guide, was a great photographer. Yosi our driver was also great conversing with us the whole drive about many different balinese traditions. 10/10 eould recommend!

We had an amazing experience hiking Mt. Batur today, and it was made even better thanks to both our driver and guide. Our driver, Ketut, was fantastic. He told us he’d pick us up at 2 a.m., and he was there exactly on time. The drive from Ubud was smooth, and he kindly let us sleep both on the way there and back, which made the early start much easier. At Mt. Batur, our guide Komang was equally wonderful. He was super friendly, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. At the summit, he took loads of photos of us without us even asking, which was such a thoughtful touch. Both Ketut and Komang were genuinely kind and professional. Highly recommend.

I liked everything about this tour. I am traveling solo and was having a hard time finding an offer as most tours required a minimum of 2 people. I was picked up promptly at 2am (so early). We made it up the mountain more than an hour before sunrise. I found the hike pretty easy but I do a bit of hiking. Scooters make it almost to the top. You do gain a bit of elevation and our guide says not everyone makes it however, but you can always hire a bike while you are there. Some steep patches that might be a bit problematic for some on the way down. Many people wore shorts, but as instructed, I wore pants and a jacket. I would have frozen without them since we were waiting at the top for a while. We had a good breakfast and a reserved spot to view from so we didn't need to fight with crows. No Stress. A special shout out to our guide Yusdinata who was awesome. He answered all our questions about the surroundings and even general ones about Indonesia. He was also our photographer and put extra effort into setting up the shots. He let us stay as long as we liked. He really went the extra mile. After we went to the hot springs and later a coffee plantation. Good trip overall.

An all around amazing experience! Drivers and guides were very professional and also attentive/responsive to your needs. Thank you to Arjana and Kadek who made this the highlight of our stay here in Bali. We did: Mt Batur Sunrise Hike with Coffee Plantation, Hot Springs and Rice Fields Details of the day: We were staying in Ubud and at 2:15 am our driver Arjana came to pick us up. Car ride was as smooth as he could have driven on the narrow and winding roads up to Mt. Batur. There we met our guide for the hike, Kadek. Water and headlamps and a walking stick for climbing was provided here. The hike itself was slightly more steep than expected. However a wonderful experience to walk under the stars. While it was quite dark, we felt safe and cared for at every turn thanks to Kadek's hospitality. We would definitely recommend bringing a jacket or hoodie, or both as it was very cold once you get to the top. Good hiking or trekking shoes are almost a must as well, the pebbly terrain at the start of the trail is very slippery even when dry. The private guide also allowed for us to hike at our own pace, which helped a lot, given that the hike was a bit more strenuous than expected. At the top, we were served a simple breakfast while we waited for the sunrise. Kadek was very professional and helped us take very nice photos as well as introduce us to the different parts that make up Mt Batur's scenery. The hike down is just as scenic or maybe even better than the sunrise. After the hike, Arjana drove us to the various spots we paid for where he drove us right up to the entrance and got our tickets for us. He was always very quick to respond when we were done touring the area and fast at bringing us to the next location. Thank you all again for the tour!

The trip was amazing!! The local guide was great! He showed us the local way of life and told many interesting stories. Wi was enthusiastic and just a really fun guy to hang out with. I love how the local community is involved with this experience. We got breakfast from a sweet lady in the village nearby and the view was stunning. I’m so happy that I chose to book this tour instead of the regular mount batur. On the way we saw many many jeeps and people heading that way while our experience felt so much more exclusive and close to the ‘real Bali’. Would definitely recommend everyone to do this.

We had a great hike and a stunning sunrise. Definitely worth doing whilst in Bali. The loss of a star was due to the volume of hikers/jeeps/bikes on the mountain which is completely out of the control of the company/guide. Our driver Sari was a great, safe driver and we loved the stop at the coffee plantation. Eri was a fab guide, keen to take photos and make the experience a memorable one. We even got a rendition of ‘My heart will go on’ for sunrise. Great pair, really recommend them.
