Our guests have rated this activity 5-stars in both Trip Advisor and Google Reviews. It’s a safe, moderate trek for all ages with stunning sunrise views. It will no doubt be the highlight of your Bali holiday. In fact, we promise you’ll love it or we’ll refund 100% of your money on the spot, guaranteed.
We do not combine your group with other travelers so your trek is personal and customized per your preference. Your local, Mt Batur guide is licensed, experienced, knowledgeable and a whole lot of fun.
You’ll begin your morning with an early pick-up from your hotel by one of our English-speaking, friendly drivers. Unlike the transportation with some of the fast boat companies, all our drivers work for us so you get top quality service, timely transportation and a safe, licensed driver.
You’ll arrive at Toya Bungkah village where you’ll meet your guide for the day. He or she will go through safety procedures, hand out flashlights and answer any questions you have. When everyone is ready, you’ll start your trek up the volcano by moonlight (and flashlight).
Hiking as fast or as slow as your group prefers, this is a good time to ask your guide more questions about the people, culture and landscape of Mt Batur and the village of Kintimani.
Once at the top, you’ll be able to rest as your guide hands out fresh brewed coffee, tea and bottled water. While you rest and take pictures of the spectacular rising sun, your guides will prepare a delicious breakfast cooked over the volcanic steam.
When everyone is ready, your guide will lead you along the crater rim and back down the volcano where you’ll get to relax in the beautiful and relaxing natural hot springs. Before heading back to your hotel, we’ll make one more stop at a coffee plantation where you can taste the famous Luwak coffee and other herbal teas.

Mt Batur is a moderate climb. This means you should be in good physical condition and without significant injury. Most hikers find it to be relatively easy. Hiking boots are not required, but we do suggest you wear comfortable shoes that can get a bit dirty or wet. Most hikers use sneakers, tennis shoes or running shoes.
As with any physical activity, we recommend you check with your physician before attempting any exercise to which you are not accustomed. It is best to prepare with moderate stretching or jogging before attempting your Mt Batur Sunrise trek.
For those that struggle, our guides are excellent helpers. They’ll help you up difficult steps and will even carry some of your equipment if you need them to. As always, they’ll go as slow or as fast as you’d like them to go. They are here to accommodate you.
We suggest you bring the following items with you:
Loud music and pets are not permitted on this trek.
You may have heard that Mt Agung has recently been closed due to volcanic activity. Though most of the sensationalism was created by the media, Mt Agung is indeed closed. Indonesia’s Center for Volcanology of Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) has issued a 9-12 kilometer safe zone. Mt Batur is well outside this area. In fact, at no time will you ever be close enough to Mt Agung to be in danger, yet the views of Mt Agung from Mt Batur are quite spectacular.
Should there be any accident during your trek, our guides are trained to address every situation, whether it be first aid, assistance or emergency evacuation. Mt Batur has a mountain rescue team that can be notified by our guides at any time. Go here to read more about our safety policy.
We respect your privacy. Any information you share with us is confidential and is never shared with third parties unless it is necessary for payment, refunds or emergency situations. We use secure servers to protect your information against virus’ and hackers. Please go here to review our full privacy policy.

Wow. What an adventure! I was impressed by the challenge of the hike and by the helpfulness of our guide Kuas. His English was great and he was very kind and knowledgeable. Request him if you can!
