About this tour
Climb Bali's most active volcano before dawn, then soak in natural hot springs. This 10-hour private trek starts in darkness with a local guide who knows Mount Batur's slopes intimately. You'll reach the summit as the sun breaks, enjoy hot drinks and light breakfast cooked over volcanic vents, walk the crater rim past hissing steam holes, then spend two hours unwinding in geothermally heated spring water. Accessible regardless of fitness level.
Highlights
- Summit Mount Batur before sunrise with hot breakfast
- Watch steam jets rise from volcanic crater holes
- Soak two hours in natural hot spring water
- Private guide from the local area
- Transport, entry fees and towels included
What to expect
You'll meet your guide pre-dawn and drive to the trailhead. The climb takes roughly 1.5 hours on a moderately steep path—headtorches help. At the top, watch the sky change colour whilst sipping hot tea or coffee, with eggs, banana sandwiches and fresh fruit available. After sunrise, you'll walk the crater perimeter; the sulphur vents are pungent but spectacular. The descent takes about an hour. Then it's straight to the hot spring for a leisurely two-hour soak in warm mineral water. The whole experience winds up by mid-afternoon.
Good to know
Bring sturdy walking shoes, a jumper for the cold summit, and sunscreen. The climb suits all fitness levels but involves sustained uphill walking. Lunch isn't provided, so eat beforehand or pack snacks. Lockers store valuables during the hot spring session.
