What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our driver Ketut picked us up right on time from the hotel, and the journey was smooth and comfortable. On the way, we stopped at a coffee plantation – a lovely bonus and a great way to ease into the afternoon before the trek. At the base of the mountain we met our guide Jerry, a local with real experience who knew the trail inside out. He set a comfortable pace, kept us safe on the trickier sections and shared plenty of insight about the volcano and the area along the way. His friendly, relaxed manner made the climb genuinely enjoyable. And the reward at the top? A breathtaking sunset over the caldera and Lake Batur – absolutely worth every step. Seamless organisation, wonderful people and a view we'll never forget. Thank you Ketut and Jerry – highly recommended to anyone visiting Bali!

We had a quasi-private tour with Yus, since there is generally less going on on the mountain in the evening. Yus was incredibly friendly and accommodating; in addition to the outstanding tour, we were able to have a very good conversation with him about Balinese culture. He was always considerate of us, was very caring, and all in all a very pleasant tour guide. We would book the tour with him again anytime in exactly the same way. Thank you Yus for the experience 🤲
I did the sunset hike with my teenage son, it was a tough hike but was well worth it once we got to the top. The view was amazing! Yus was our guide up the mountain and he was amazing, very patient, kind and friendly and he took very good care of us. Our driver Sarwa picked us up and got us back to our accommodation safely. He was also very friendly and made for a great experience. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Had a great driver, Kadek, and a kind and knowledgeable guide up the mountain, Kuas. Perfect way to visit.
We really enjoyed the hike up Mt Batur. We went on the sunset hike and although we didn’t see the sunset due to cloud, it was absolutely worth it! The scenery is stunning and our guide Yus was friendly, interesting and informative. Would highly recommended.
Kuas is a very energetic, funny and thoughtful guide. Thumbs up! Thumbs up for Gde, our driver, too!
10/10! Great experience. Our guide Kua was lovely, very funny and graciously shared his knowledge of Bali with us. Thank you Kuas!
Had a great solo trip up Mount Batur for sunset! Loved having a snack cooked by the stream and we were even blessed with a gorgeous sunset when the clouds parted! No crowds and no early start, definite bonus. Also got taken to coffee plantation which was interesting to see with amazing forest views and did the hot springs which were worth a visit, and felt great. Shoutout to Sarwa the driver, lovely guy who gave me control of the music in the car, and Dika who was a great guide and enjoyed our chat on the hike!
We had the best day today thanks to our driver Rudi and guide Wira. Both of them were reliable, knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. Thank you so much guys you are great! Unlike the sunrise tour which apparently can get quite busy, there were very few people at the top for sunset and we enjoyed the incredible views in relaxed personal atmosphere. The way up is steep and humidity doesn't help but our guide was very patient and positive and made sure we are comfortable. We enjoyed hearty snack at the top (vegetarian friendly) and when the sun started setting we were blown away. The hot steam from the volcano and clouds around create unreal atmosphere. We were back to our hotel in Ubud by 9.
Kuas is the best, very friendly guide who will let you go at your own pace
