Great experience! Everything went very well, from the pickup to the return. Our driver Ageng and our guide Wira were great and attentive. During the hike, we were able to take breaks as we were not pressed for time. We had a headlamp as well as trekking poles. Good shoes are essential! The hot springs (about 1.5 hours) are worth the detour as they allow for relaxation after the trek.
The tour was amazing. From the pick up to the trekking tour, everything was well organized! Our tour guide, Ketut, he was very kind, always make sure we had enough rest in between, and also very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this tour!
Won't be an easy hike if you are unfit but still doable. You will need proper footwear as the slopes are very slippery. My guide - Wayan was very helpful and would adjust her pace accordingly and also stop for breaks. He made us breakfast consisting of bread with cooked banana, an orange, a chocolate bar, and a hot beverage. Although the hike wasn't easy, the views were definitely worth it.
I did the Mount Batur sunrise trek from Kuta and had an amazing time! My driver, Eki, picked me up on time at 01:30 am and drove safely without navigation — he even taught me some Indonesian words on the way, which was fun. My guide, I Ketut, with 12 years of experience, led me smoothly to the summit in about 1,5 hour, prepared a tasty breakfast at the top, and took great photos. His English was clear, so communication was easy. After the trek, I visited Batur Nature Hot Spring, which had pools of different depths, plenty of lockers for storage, and a welcome drink included.
Amazing Mount Batur sunrise hike and hot spring excursion. Everything was well organized, the Black Lava was very impressive, and the hot springs were perfect to relax after. Special thanks to our guide Panca, who was very helpful, available, and attentive throughout the trip. He made the experience even better. Highly recommended !
Very well organized activity. Sarwa, my driver was amazing. From the kind reminder the day before 2:15 am pickup in Ubud, all I had to do was sit back and enjoy. Jero was our leader on the trail, and was always ensuring everyone was safe and ok. Recommend the hike! Be sure to check the weather if you don’t want sunrise disappointment - but the experience is still worth it regardless!
We had a very good hiking guide who ensured we were able to keep pace to reach the peak in time without getting too tired to slow down the climb. We were also able to reach a very nice viewing point for the sunrise which was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.
It was a very well oiled trip! We met our lovely driver Rantini who drove us to the village surrounding Mount Batur - she drove very safely and made us feel very comfortable! (Especially in the dark and windy roads!) We then met our fabulous guide Ageng - he was very knowledgable and got us up and down safely! He also taught us information about the local village and family life which was a lovely touch! He provided information as we went and offered lots of support and stops as required! He made us a hot drink and breakfast at the top and was an excellent photographer! The trip to the coffee plantation was great and a nice opportunity to try local teas and coffees! Thank you all to who made it possible :)
I highly recommend this experience - the group guide was amazing and managed to keep us away from most of the crowds. The view at the top is well worth the hike, which is fairly easy to do. They also provided a delicious breakfast and coffee at the top.
We had a great time on the sunrise tour. ARTA was a great driver for our trip to Mount Batur. He provided great insight and a smooth trip to and from the area. He was very helpful in communicating our pick up and drop offs and did so perfectly. Although we didn’t get good weather at the top we still had an amazing time!
