About this tour
Start before dawn to climb Mount Batur, Bali's most accessible volcano, reaching the 1,717-metre summit just as light breaks across the island. The 10-hour experience pairs the predawn scramble with a soak in natural hot springs nestled in the Kintamani highlands. You'll descend via forested trails, finishing with a dip in geothermally heated pools—the payoff after hours of ascent.
Highlights
- Pre-dawn volcano ascent with torch and guide
- Sunrise views across Bali from the crater rim
- Natural thermal springs in Kintamani highlands
- Forested descent through volcanic terrain
- Light breakfast and water included throughout
- Private transport to and from your accommodation
What to expect
You'll be collected well before sunrise and driven to the trailhead. The hike up takes around two hours on steep, loose volcanic rock—bring a torch as it's pitch-dark initially. Once at the top, wait for dawn to paint the landscape below. After 30 minutes absorbing the view, you'll descend through cooler forest and reach the hot springs by mid-morning. Soak for as long as you like before the return journey. Wear sturdy shoes and pack a warm layer for the summit chill.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential—this isn't a casual walk. Bring a light jacket despite inclusions listing otherwise. The springs are naturally warm, not pool-temperature. Stretching beforehand helps prevent soreness. Book at least a day ahead. Most tours depart around 2–3 a.m.
