About this tour
Climb Bali's active volcano over two days to catch sunset and sunrise from the summit, with guides handling all gear. You'll sleep in a camp at altitude, wake before dawn for the final push to the peak, then soak in natural hot springs on the descent. Transport, meals, and a English-speaking driver are included—just bring fitness and a willingness to move.
Highlights
- Summit Mt Batur twice: golden hour and first light
- Guides carry tents, cook breakfast over volcanic steam vents
- Sleep at 1,700m elevation under open sky
- Natural hot springs soak included on return
- Hotel pickup and dropoff with English-speaking driver
- All meals and water supplied; no gear to pack
What to expect
You'll start with an afternoon pickup and drive to the trailhead. The initial climb to camp is steady; guides handle all equipment so you move unencumbered. After dinner and nightfall, rest at camp (bring warm layers—altitude chill is real). You'll wake before 3am for the final push to summit by sunrise, roughly 1.5–2 hours of steep hiking in darkness with torches. The descent takes you past the crater rim and down to the hot springs for a proper soak, then back to your hotel by mid-morning. Total hiking time across two days is manageable for those with moderate fitness, but it's relentless and early.
Good to know
Not suitable for anyone with spinal issues, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health. Children under 7 should skip this. Bring layers and a torch if you have one; guides will have spares. Lunch is not included, so eat well beforehand. Tipping guides is customary but not compulsory.
