About this tour
Start before dawn for a guided ascent of Mount Batur, reaching the summit to witness sunrise over Bali's volcanic landscape. Your local guide shares knowledge of the region whilst you cook eggs and bananas buried in geothermal sand for breakfast. The 10-hour experience continues downhill through mountain scenery, finishing with a soak in natural hot springs—mineral-rich pools heated from deep underground—to ease tired muscles before returning to your hotel.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide well before sunrise for the steep, rocky climb—expect 1.5–2 hours uphill on uneven terrain. The summit offers panoramic views and a chance to relax whilst breakfast cooks itself in the volcanic sand. After taking in the landscape, the descent is gentler but still requires steady footing. The final stretch leads to natural hot springs where you can swim or float in two separate pools. Mineral content is high but odourless. Allow time to change and dry off before the drive back.
Good to know
Wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring a torch, and dress in layers—mornings are cool at altitude. The trek suits those with moderate fitness; those with back problems, pregnancy, or heart conditions should skip it. Lunch isn't provided, though water is. Springs are busy mid-morning.
