Tut picked me up right on time at 2.30am and dropped me off to Maanwiss who was my guide for the morning. Maanwiss was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about the volcano and surrounding area. He kept the pace up the mountain perfectly, allowing me to stop to rest whenever I needed. He showed me where to walk on the tricky areas, and caught me when I stumbled. Maanwiss took ALL THE BEST photos for the sunset - and seated me at the best seat for the best views! Thank you so much Maanwiss for sharing this morning hike with me 🙏 Then Tut was waiting for me at the end and off to the hot springs, Tut went above and beyond getting my tickets, dropping me exactly where I needed, and was always waiting and ready to go when I was! Last stop was the coffee plantation where I was served with 15 different coffee and tea samples - amazing experience! Before being dropped right back at my doorstep. Thank you so so much for making an unforgettable trip - highly recommend to anyone!

We had an amazing time! The views from up Mt. Batur are spectacular. A special shout out to Prett, he was absolutely professional and a great conversationalist. He was there to help at every step of the way. Definitely recommend booking this through them. A fair warning, definitely be prepared for a brutal hike up and down the mountain. The good part
Very cool experience~ we were well taken care of. It’s good to support local business!
I want to specifically thank Dewa, our amazing driver for keeping us in safe hands and adding the utmost professionalism to the experience. The views were beautiful, but Dewa’s bubbly personality and warmth as well as his fantastic driving made it so relaxing overall.
One of the best experiences of my life! Amazing trek with STUNNING views. The highlight though was my guide Rio. A kind and energetic young man that spoke amazing English. He provided breakfast and snacks and great conversation and was also extremely happy to be taught some new English words. Could not recommend him enough!
Great experience hiking up Mount batur with our guide Rio who kindly collected us from our accommodation in ubud the day before and then met us at 3 A.M to start the trip up the mountain Slight rain made us doubtful about the hike up but we persisted and were extremely glad we did, although misty at the top still a fantastic experience, and good photography skills from the guide, a smooth walk down and then Rio took us to the hot springs and coffee plantation which was very interesting and then finally to our next accommodation to continue our travels.
Great hike and adventure - weather unfortunately was raining so no sunrise, but great atmosphere up and down the mountain. our guide Rio was great and we enjoyed the experience overall

It is the best experience for me, worth to share with everyone, my guide Rio is the best too, it actually overwhelms me on how he guided me during the hike, he is fun to be with, so accommodating and speaks English very well. If there is some time someone ask me about it I will definitely recommend the tour especially the guide. Thank you for making it memorable experience for me.

We had an amazing experience hiking Mt Batur with our guide, Rio. The transport was well-organised, and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept us informed throughout the tour. The hike was challenging at times, but Rio made sure we took plenty of breaks and always checked in to see how we were going. Once we reached the summit, we enjoyed a delicious included breakfast and coffee while taking in the beautiful views — plus Rio captured lots of great photos for us. Highly recommend this hike for anyone looking for a bit of adventure and a good fitness challenge! 💛⛰️
