About this tour
Start before dawn for a guided ascent of Bali's active volcano, reaching the 1,717-metre summit as the sun breaks over the island. You'll trek through blackened lava fields alongside a licensed local guide, with torchlight to navigate the darkness. At the peak, tuck into eggs cooked using geothermal steam, then descend to a nearby organic farm for fresh coffee and banana fritters before returning to your hotel around 10 a.m. The full experience runs 7–8 hours.
Highlights
- Reach Mount Batur's summit before sunrise
- Eggs steamed by volcanic heat at the peak
- Trek across lunar-like black sand and lava terrain
- Coffee and snacks at working organic farm
- Licensed guide, safety gear and insurance included
What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel between 1:30 and 2 a.m., then driven to the trailhead. A light breakfast of banana pancakes and tea awaits at 3 a.m. before the two-hour uphill push begins at 4 a.m. The path winds through volcanic rock under torchlight; a water break comes midway. Once you crest the rim around 6 a.m., the sky begins to shift colour. Breakfast—including the signature volcano-steamed eggs—is served as light floods the crater. After an hour to soak in the views and rest, you'll head back down to the farm, sample local coffee and banana fritters, then ride home.
