About this tour
Climb Bali's most active volcano in darkness, reaching the 1,717-metre summit just as dawn breaks across the volcanic peaks of Abang, Agung, and Lombok's Rinjani. Your guide leads you up the cinder slopes for roughly two hours, then you'll tuck into eggs cooked by geothermal steam while the sky shifts from indigo to gold. Transport, gear, and a hot breakfast are sorted; you just show up ready to move. The full outing runs 8–9 hours from hotel pickup to drop-off.
Highlights
- Climb active volcano in pre-dawn darkness with torch
- Watch sunrise paint three peaks simultaneously
- Eat eggs cooked in volcanic steam at the rim
- Private vehicle and guide throughout
- Flexible departure times to suit your schedule
What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel before dawn—exact time flexible to your preference. The drive to the trailhead takes roughly 45 minutes. Once there, you and your guide start the two-hour ascent in darkness, torch in hand, scrambling up loose volcanic scree. It's steep and uneven underfoot but not technical. You'll arrive at the summit as light creeps in, watch the dramatic sunrise, then eat a simple breakfast of bread, fruit, and those famous geothermal eggs whilst taking in the view. The descent is gentler, and you're back at your hotel by mid-morning.
Good to know
Wear layers—it's cold at the top before sunrise. Bring a torch if you have one (provided if not), sunscreen, and sturdy hiking shoes with ankle support. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Ages 5–60 only. Private tour means just your group in the vehicle.
