About this tour
Start before dawn for a guided ascent of Mount Batur, Bali's 1,717-metre active volcano. You'll reach the crater rim as the sun breaks over the landscape, then cook breakfast using the geothermal heat of the volcanic sand—eggs and bananas ready in minutes. After descending through Toya Bungkah village, stop at a local coffee plantation before returning to your hotel by early afternoon. The 10-hour experience includes an experienced guide, vehicle pickup, and all meals.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel around 2–3 AM for the drive to the trailhead. The trek itself takes roughly two hours at a steady uphill pace on volcanic terrain. Headlamps or torches help navigate the dark sections. Arriving at the crater rim by 6:15 AM rewards you with a panoramic sunrise over Bali's landscape. Breakfast follows—a novelty experience where you'll place eggs and bananas directly in hot sand and watch them cook naturally within five minutes. After eating and exploring the summit, the descent to Toya Bungkah village takes about an hour. A final stop at a coffee plantation lets you sample and purchase local varieties before heading back.
