Great experience! Everything was well-organized: on time pick-up, coffee/tea and cookies when arriving in base camp, and a breakfast on top of the mountain. Our guide Ricky was also very good! He was taking care of us all the time, knew the best paths for going up, and could tell us a lot of interesting facts about Mount Batur, and above that he is also a great pothographer! We really recommend to ask for Ricky if you do this trip!!!

This was an amazing and once in a lifetime trek, but I’ll warn you that unless you are very fit, like you bike miles a week, trek yearly, go backpacking, or hike trails with at least 2k ft elevation gain multiple times a year this hike will be grueling and almost impossible. If you do those things you will have a good challenge but get to the top in time. TLDR - took 9 hours, 4 up and 4 down, 1 hour at the peak and we made it to the top at 5:30am. Was something like 3k ft of elevation gain, air is super thin so take deep breaths. Wear warm clothes in layers so you can take them off on the way down when the sun is out. It’s cold and windy so dress an accordingly. More than half the ppl who sign up give up, can’t make it up because it’s too physically demanding, or don’t make it in time for sunrise but still get an amazing view. I saw ppl in skimpy little work out shorts climbing up the mountain, they didn’t make it in time for sunrise and were devastated and cold. Our driver Putu was very communicative on what’s app, he confirmed pick up time and where 2 days before. He got to us 10 min early and let us sleep in the van for the 1.5 hour drive to the Pasar temple starting point at 11:30pm at night. Then we met our guide Lennie! She is very sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable of the mountain and area. She is easily the strongest women and person I have met. She does that entire hike 3 times a week often. She has been climbing is since she was 10! Safety came first, she packs extra water in case you don’t have 2L with you. She was the best guide, highly reccomend , she even helps you down as she led me with her hand as the rock scramble down can feel exhausting after 5 hours of hiking. She is very experienced and speaks English very well. She helped us any time we needed it and reminded us to drink water. Would not have been able to do it without her. Worth every dollar and step. She gives you hot tea and coffee at the bottom and top. We were not very prepared and had just running shoes on, was doable, but harder. Would be better to have trail or hiking shoes cuz this path to the 2nd lower summit is still hard, but is more rocky I hear than the true summit path via beskeith temple. Worst the effort and grueling physical and mental challenge if you are fit enough to attempt it. Otherwise do the shorter sunrise batur hike. If you don’t know what a trek is, or what a rock scramble is, better look it up.

Our adventure began with the challenge of climbing Mount Agung, standing tall at 3,142 meters. We were fortunate to have our guide, Kaki, who was incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the trek. He shared fascinating stories about the area and kept our spirits high! The trek itself is quite demanding physically. We started our ascent in the dark, which added to the excitement. It took us about 5 to 6 hours to reach the summit, but every ounce of effort was worth it. The sunrise we witnessed was absolutely breathtaking—an unforgettable moment that made all the hard work pay off. The descent took another 4 to 5 hours, so it's essential to be well-prepared physically for this adventure. Overall, I can confidently say that Kaki is the best guide on the island, and this experience is one of a kind. Highly recommended for those seeking an incredible challenge and stunning views!

The tour operator was responsive with my queries and driver was on time to pick us at 9pm from our hotel in Ubud. The driver, himself, is an experienced hiker and provided us with information about the climb during the drive to the temple. We started our climb at around 1115pm from the temple and reached PO2 around 250am, with a few short break in between. Our guide, Juna, is great and took great care of my wife especially during the descend. We did not summit Mt Agung and returned back to PO2 as we felt the steep and slippery trail after POS2 (some near the cliff edge) was too tough for us. Hence we waited from around 4am till sunrise at POS2. The guide started fires 🔥 while we were waiting for sunrise. We still had a beautiful sunrise and sea of clouds scenery in the morning.

Great experience! We had a comfortable drive and the walk up the volcano was breathtaking. Very nice driver and guide named Ady!

Our tour guide was really good. We are relatively fit so it was nice to have a personalised experience and to hike at our own pace. He was very good at this. I recommend that anyone who does this tour takes extra layers for the top though. It is very very cold and just a jumper isn’t enough. You can hire a blanket but even that doesn’t help too much.

What an amazing experience. From the moment you get picked up with your drivers who were both Agus you felt completely safe and cared for. We had Gunawan as our leader and he assured us 3 adults and our 3 under 11 year old children were taken care of. Highly recommend this tour and these guides 🌸

The whole experience from the start to end was awesome, overall a manageable hike, yet with a very rewarding view at the top. Special mentions to our experienced guide Gunawan and Riki, who were very friendly and helpful. Some of us were a little slower but they had always been very patient with us and looked out for our safety all the times. Their photography skills are amazing too! They would take the initiatives to guide us to great scenic spots for the photography moment. Also thanks to our driver Kadek for the smooth ride to and fro our accommodation.

Hard hike but totally worth it. Driver picked us up at 8 and we started the trek at 11pm. We had an hour of rest and our guide lit a fire, 3/4 of the way up. We headed to the top at 4 am for the sunrise. Spectacular. The trip down in daylight felt like a different trek. You need warm clothes for the top and you need to be in good shape. Worth the sweat!

The trip was well organised and brilliant, Ady our driver was very pleasant and friendly, ensuring we got to our locations safely. Our guide up the mountain was also very helpful and friendly. Even when I was struggling he provided us with a helping hand and motivated us to the top, ensuring we used the best routes. The views at the top were spectacular albeit slightly cloudy. 10/10 would recommend.

Ketut has been fun to be with and very respectful. Very recommended tour guide. He knows the place very much too and gives you options if you need shortcut or the normal long road.

I went as a female solo traveller to the sunrise hike to Mount Batur. The communication went through Whataspp and it was all very clear. The driver was perfect on time. The personal guide I had to do the hiking was very friendly. At the top he offered to take as many pictures as I wanted and he showed me the good spots. The breakfast at the top was also delicious. Highly recommend!

We had the best morning ever!!! Ketut was our guide and he was the best - he made our walk really memorable. Highly recommend

Great tour. Driver and guide were excellent and looked after us very well. The views from the top were stunning, but it was a bit crowded and noisy for my taste.

Excellent tour. Bali Trekking Tour were excellent throughout. Pickup was on time and driver was excellent. The hike itself is physically and mentally challenging - be prepared, I saw several people turn round. The guide was excellent, prioritised safety and set a steady pace. The views at the top are stunning - an amazing sunrise. Take warm clothes for the top.
