What to expect
Your alarm goes off well before dawn. You'll be picked up and driven uphill in a sturdy 4WD to reach the summit as light breaks—the payoff is watching the sun flood across Bali's ridge-and-valley terrain. After sunrise, you'll explore the blackened lava plains left by the 1963 eruption, stopping often for photos. Your guide will point out how the landscape has slowly recovered. By mid-morning, you'll drive to the natural hot springs, where geothermal water pools at a comfortable temperature. You can float, swim, or simply relax sore muscles after the morning's hiking.
Good to know
Wear layers for the cold summit; the springs are warm but not scorching. Bring sturdy walking shoes for rocky terrain and flip-flops for the pools. Not suitable if you have spinal problems, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Gratuities not included—tip your guide if service warrants it.
