Batur at sunset - It deserves a little effort, because the natural spectacle and the company of the local guide (thanks Nick dispobilile, experienced and smiling) are unique. Few people at sunset at the summit. Flavio and Stefania

Great tour! - Wonderful tour with Tana our guide! Great experience for us and our children! Ascent with kids 7 and 9 well doable. Watch out for good footwear.

Dont hesitate, just do it - The experience is amazing and surprisingly not popular. We were not lucky to get a clear sunset but we had an amazing night of stars and a stunning sunrise!! Yon, our guide was super nice and caring!

Donn best guide of Batur - Very professional and kind guide (Donn). We had nice chats and he explained a lot of interesting stuff. He always kept an eye on us, made sure each group member was safe and he walked patiently at our pace. Highly recommended !!!

Mount BATUR CAMPING - We did the sunset and sunrise at the top of Mount BATUR with the Jata and Lanang guides who were amazing! Everything was super well organized, they accompanied the children for the climb, the tents were ready with all the bedding very clean. We had a snack, dinner, breakfast, and in the evening they made us a fire. We'll remember it forever!

Great tour with great views and great guide - ES was a totally great tour. In the evening we camped near the summit and were there all alone. The view was fantastic, the food great and our guide Jata great. He accompanied us safely the whole time, answered all questions and also took great photos for us. The trip was an absolute highlight of our holiday!

Highlight of our Bali Trip - From start to finish, this was an amazing trip. The walk up took just under 2 hours but there was no rush and we went at our own pace. One of the highlights was being on the volcano for sunset - we shared the main viewing point with only 2 other people. There was ample time to explore the edge of the crater and get as many photos as necessary on our own. The dinner provided was perfect considering where you are and afterwards we sat around the fire next to the tent overlooking the town below - which was the other main highlight of the tour. As we listened to the song someone was singing in the town below, Nik, our guide, explained the meaning behind it. It was a very relaxing couple of hours learning more about life in Bali - thank you Nik. This is where the camping option is beneficial. There were few people on the volcano in the evening and we had time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. In the morning it was totally different - we got woken up about 4:45am by hundreds of people walking up to see the sunrise. It was a completely different atmosphere from the evening before. After sunrise, we made a quick exit down as we had seen everything else in the peace and quiet the evening before and managed to get to the hot springs before the crowds. I would have been disappointed only doing the sunrise hike. The camping gave us the opportunity to explore when the volcano was very quiet and gave us time to learn more with our guide Nik. We all enjoyed it and would really recommend it if you are ok with camping!

Mt.Batur Sunrise - Our guide (Bli Kliwon) recommended and patiently wait and after sunrise can trailrun to Post 1🙏🏻🔥 The track is clear and safe

Thank you Don for being such an amazing guide and human being - We went on the Mount Batur sunrise with my dad, and had the pleasure to be accompanied by Don, what a legend, he is the most kind human you can possibly imagine and know everything about the place, I highly recommend him as a guide since he know all the best spot and stories about this place. 10 out of 10 and even more than that, thank you Don for making this trek so special to us!

Very good but could be so much better - So having spent some time reviewing Mount Batur tours it seems the best solution is the over night camping. It was very good but could be so much better with a little more attention to detail. For example our driver who picked us from the hotel didn’t change gear in the car so it was raving at it high point most of the time and creating a washing machine effect and making us feel sick. This guy needs to learn to drive better stop eating and drinking and planning with the gps and radio and focus on driving better IGB Kusuma Jaya you get 1 star for your driving. Pick up 1pm in Sanur and drop off at next pick up 3.30pm. Meet a new guide Mang Yon lokal he was great such a nice guy and couldn’t be more helpful he was brilliant highly recommended. He informed me that for some extra cash we could get a Jeep to 70% of the way up the Mountain or for 700,000 we could get on the back of two motor bike and get taken 90% of the way up. This was the best idea ever and the best money spent 600,000 on the way down. The ride is 15 minutes instead of 2 hours walking for £15 each highly recommend and the riders are so good and careful. This allows you to get to the top and see the sunset with 2 hours spare for pictures and exploring. If you walk it’s 2 to 2.30 hours and very rough terrain and steep it’s like doing an iron man event. Get a bike or jeep for such little extra cost. Arrived saw the sunset and got hot drinks and some food, rice, chicken leg ( deep fried ) vegetable soup, tea, coffee, chocolate and banana. So well fed. Then a fire was made and shown to our tent, I think the tent mattress could be thicker to make it more comfortable and a blanket provided it went down to 10 degrees and was very cold so wrap up well and bring your own blanket they provided tent and pillows mattress and sleeping bags but was very thin mattress and still cold. I suggested hot chocolate and marsh mellows around the fire would be a good idea. You get woken at 4am to the sound of people chatting and bike roars the sunrise people are arriving. Come out of the tent at 5.30am to find the tent surrounded everyone waiting. Unfortunately the private area they have for camping doesn’t remain private and it should be to make it that much better for those camping our nice viewing bench was taken over by others. Behind you on top of the mountain is around 300 people it’s crazy like being at a football match but fairly organised as every few people have a guide. Some people are there trying to sell beers and jewellery items everyone is trying to make a buck. We had breakfast which isn’t great this too could be so much better who wants a banana sandwich urk ! They are cooking so a nice bacon or sausage roll would have been great. I guess they are selling these separately. There are various outlets selling food and drink. It’s very well organised to be fair at the top nice young girl doing the food and many guides. Surprised out of all the 300 visitors each day only 3 people camped over night but it’s the best experience you get sunset and sunrise and the bike ride up was excellent. The last 10% walk up is very rocky so wear proper climbing shoes long trousers warm coat and two layers plus a hat it’s cold in the night and morning. The guide took lots of pictures and he was delighted we got bikes because he gets to go for free up and down if you pay 300,000 each, each way so worth it. So overall very good if the area was kept private for campers and the food and tent was improved it would get 5 stars for now it’s only 4 stars. The guide was great shame about the initial driver I was hoping we had a different one for the way back to the hotel that’s how poor his driving was and for 2 hours in 3rd gear and his foot on off on off the accelerator making us go back and forth was not great plus the car didn’t have great air con. Anyway off for another adventure so catch you next time. They have a little kitchen place at the top and various outlet for food and drinks. The kitchen has been there 25 years. Wow.
