“We did this trek on my 40th birthday and what a way to start my next decade! It started with a 2am pick up in Ubud and we got to the bottom of the mountain around 330am. We were given tea, a head torch, and a stick (if you wanted it). There were also toilets available at this point (none at the top so go before you start!). The hike began around 4am and it was dark, dusty and steep in places but our wonderful guide stopped whenever needed and knew good places to perch and have a water stop. The closer to the top you get the tougher the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,850 reviews · 7 - 10 hours · from $24

Leave Bali in the early hours for a guided Mount Batur climb, usually with pickup between 1:30 and 3 a.m. Local guides such as Roman, Nova, Sar, and Luna lead the uphill walk, serve a light breakfast near the summit, and help you explore the crater. After the descent, soak in a natural hot spring and stop at a coffee plantation.

“The driver Andi was patient, attentive and helpful. The mount batur guide Sarr was funny, informative and inclusive. He also made us a very tasty breakfast of boiled eggs and banana sandwiches. We had a great group of 5 + the guide, and the views at sunrise and photo opps were breathtaking at times. The hot spring and coffee stops were not so good. Maybe because we were so tired from 2am pick up, they were a little much, and in retrospect the walk and driver would have been a great activity. Thank you to our driver, guide and the staff for a great morning.”

Dores, our jeep driver, was the absolute best — funny, incredibly patient, helpful, and basically a professional photographer rolled into one. He navigated the rugged volcanic terrain like it was nothing and made sure we had the perfect sunrise viewing spot. He somehow managed to capture amazing photos without ever rushing us — adjusting angles, giving posing tips, and making sure no one left without a shot they loved. Transportation to and from Ubud was handled by Komang, who made everything easy and stress-free. Right on time for pickup (even at 3:30am!), smooth ride, and excellent communication throughout.…”

Would have loved for other trekking groups to talk less, lol, but can't change that really.”
