About this tour
This 16-hour expedition tackles two of Bali's most dramatic landscapes in a single push. Start before dawn on Mount Batur's volcanic slopes to witness sunrise from 1,717 metres, then descend for breakfast before heading north to Sekumpul Waterfalls, where multiple cascades plunge through lush forest. You'll move between two distinct ecosystems—alpine to tropical—with private guides steering you through each. Ideal for those wanting to pack serious terrain into one day without the usual logistics hassle.

- Trek volcanic slopes with headlamp and guide support
- Multi-tiered waterfalls hidden in northern jungle
- Private guides for both mountain and waterfall sections

What to expect
You'll meet your guide well before dawn for the uphill slog to Batur's summit—expect 90 minutes of steady climbing on uneven volcanic terrain. The peak reveal is genuine if conditions hold; bring a warm layer. After sunrise, you'll descend for a cooked breakfast, then transfer north to Sekumpul. The waterfall section involves rock-hopping and wading through streams between multiple falls; the final approach gets steep and slippery. Both guides are hands-on and familiar with the routes. The full day is legitimately demanding—not a casual stroll.
Good to know
Moderate-to-good fitness essential; poor knees or heart conditions aren't suitable. Pregnant travellers and those with spinal issues should skip this. Wear proper hiking shoes with grip. Bring a light jacket for the mountain. The pace is steady but unrelenting.
