The hike was definitely worth it for the view you got. The people who made the trip possible were super nice and helpful. Especially our driver Agoesp was great! On the way to a coffee plantation he told us a lot about Bali’s culture and answered all our questions. Besides, he was always waiting for us to make sure we get back to our hotel safe. We recommend doing the sunrise hike!
Beautiful views, excellent guide & driver and steep but well worth it hike! Large breakfast included and coffee tasting was a fun way to finish the morning
Fact is: Nature doesn’t care about tourists 😂. After 1,5 hour exhausting hiking we reached the top and saw nothing else than clouds. But at the end it doesn’t matter whether you could see the sunrise or not, it was absolutely worth doing it. We had a great guide who always motivated me with a kind „you can do it“, he really cared a lot that we get safe up and also down. For the record: Don’t forget to bring some warm cloth and a rain jacket otherwise you will freeze your ass off, on the top you have a strong wind mixed with drizzling rain. The locals up the there offer you blankets for rent for 50k 🙈
Great hike with an awesome view! Katut (our guide for the hike) was great bringing us up the hike at our desired speed and cooked us a lovely breakfast in the volcano itself!
Hike to Mount Batur was fun. It took us 1h to get to the summit. Wonderful view on top. Pickup was at 3 am. Start hike was at 4 am. Tour finished around 9 am. I think everybody in good health can do the tour. You don’t have to be a sports junky. Our driver Arta was very friendly with good English. Arta also offered to go to Hot spring or coffee plantation.
