About this tour
Start before dawn for a Mount Batur trek, reaching the crater rim as sunrise breaks across Bali's volcanic landscape. After a hot breakfast cooked on the volcano itself, descend and spend the afternoon exploring Ubud's cultural heart: emerald rice terraces, the monkey-filled temple sanctuary, the palace, bustling market, and a refreshing waterfall swim. This 11–12 hour private tour includes all transport, meals, and guides in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Highlights
- Volcanic peak sunrise with cooked-on-site breakfast
- Terraced rice paddies of Tegalalang from multiple angles
- Gray macaques roaming Hindu temples in jungle canopy
- Ubud Palace and traditional market exploration
- Tegenungan Waterfall in lush forest setting
- Private vehicle with professional English-speaking guide throughout
What to expect
You'll be collected around 1:30 AM and driven to Mount Batur's trailhead. The trek to the summit takes roughly two hours at a steady pace, guided by a professional who explains volcanic geology as you climb. Arrive at the rim just before dawn; your guide prepares eggs boiled in geothermal vents, with bread and fruit. After soaking in the view, you'll hike back down by mid-morning. The afternoon pivots to culture: you'll walk through Tegalalang's stepped paddies, navigate the Monkey Forest's temple ruins and gorge (keep valuables secure), explore Ubud's palace and market maze, then cool off at Tegenungan Waterfall before heading back.
