We were collected at 2:15 from our hotel in Ubud by our driver for the day Adi and taken to a small warung near the base of the mountain for... read more tasty banana chocolate pancakes. We were then brought to beginning of the trek where we met our guide Wayan Suar. The climb itself was very enjoyable with Wayan as our guide he allowed for breaks when needed and even took us an alternate (yet slightly harder) route to the top which was less crowded than the main one. At the top Wayan treated us to a much appreciated breakfast of hot tea, banana sandwiches, some fruit, and an egg that had been boiled over one of the steam vents of the volcano. Wayan was very accommodating when it came to taking photos at the summit for every phase of the sunrise and even posed with us for a couple. After the hike back down we jumped back in the car with Adi and headed off to the remote north of Bali (2hour drive) to visit the beautiful but lesser known waterfalls of Sekumpul. I would highly recommend this as a stop as it is far less crowded and more impressive than the Tegenungan waterfall we had seen the day before. Our guide for the waterfall Sugi was great. He had very good English, a great sense of humor and was very chatty and informative throughout the tour. On the way back to our hotel Adi obliged us by stopping at the famous Ulun Danu Beratan however it was far too crowded and hard to properly enjoy. Beautiful temple though. Arrived back in Ubud at 5pm and called it a night after a long and very enjoyable day.

WE RECOMMEND ALL TO JOIN THE TOUR TO VIEW ONE OF THE BEST SUNRISES OF THE WORLD

  The hike to see the sunrise on top of Mt. Batur was one of the best experiences yet! Right from the very beginning of the trip, everything was very organized... read more and timely. Our driver picked us up from our hotel all the way down in Kuta right on time, and drove us safely to every destination point. The early morning snack (banana pancake) before the hike was very delicious too!

We were so lucky to have an amazing guide, Mangku. He was so attentive, kind, and patient with all of us, always asking if we were okay and needed a break. He even worked wonders on my ankle when I sprained it while going down the trail! He assisted me when going down very steep and slippery paths and made sure that I wasn’t in any pain. Thank you so much for that!

The view from the top of the mountain was unbelievably amazing. Once we reached the top, we had an ample amount of time to rest, stay warm, and take pictures. Mangku took us to the highest peak where it wasn’t so crowded, and he knew where the hot spots are to have a really good view of the sunrise and scenery. He also had amazing photography skills! While waiting for the sunrise, we were provided with breakfast and tea. Thank you Mangku for being so patient and kind to us, and making sure that we made it to the top and bottom safely!

After Mount Batur, we hiked Sekumpul Waterfall with a guide. The view at the waterfall was amazing as well. Our tour guide was also excellent and made sure we climbed down and back up from the waterfall safely. Later during the trip, the tour company arranged for us an amazing lunch with a local restaurant. The mie goreng we had was very delicious!

I highly recommend this tour and company if you are in Bali and planning a trip to see the sunrise and waterfall. The view was incredible and nothing I’ve ever seen before. It was so worth waking up at 1am for this! Thank you very much for the amazing experience!

We reached a coffee hut at 3.20am for coffee and banana crepe. It was getting cold as we were closer to the peak. We met up with Wayan Suar, our guide and set off at 3.40am. It was a gradual hike at first. Until we reach a steeper point where it's loose rocks and gravels. A stick would be good to help with stamina and balance. After 1 hour 40 minutes, we reached the peak of Mount Batur. Wayan guided us to a hut that was installed at the peak and we had hot coffee and breakfast there while waiting for the sunrise. The view was breathtaking and we were above a sea of clouds! We moved higher towards the crater rim of the mountain to get beautiful pictures. Wayan has many creative ways to take photos and also explained to us about the terrain of the mountain. He also showed us the natural gas steaming out from the side of the mountain.

Wayan decided we could take the medium track back and we were so happy to walk along the crater rim to see the different sites of the area. We could also see a slightly smoking Mount Agung and Mount Rinjani from where we stood. The sky was very clear that day!

As we descend we came upon the gravel loose rocks again and Wayan helped to "slide down" without tripping. We passed a forest and down to tomato, spring onion and chilli plantations! The view was spectacular! We also saw a pigsty at the side.

We reached the car park at 9am and we really appreciate the guidance given by Wayan. We bid our goodbyes and went to Sekumpul Waterfall.

It took us about 1.5 hours to reach the place as it is up north. The place was secluded and we were greeted by a young man who lived in the village. He guided us the way down, all 230 steps to the waterfall. The waterfall is 90 meters drop, and there's about 4 waterfalls at the same area. The view is unobstructed and amazing!

As we didn't bring our swimwear or sandals, we took off our shoes and just waddle and wash up at the shallow streams. But it would be nice to swim as it is only about 1 meter deep. We came back up for lunch at 12.30pm and bid our goodbyes to the young guide and head back to Kuta.

It took about 2 plus hours to get back to Kuta. Our driver was very kind to bring us chilli hunting at local supermarket, and we managed to find the small red and green chillies!

It was a very enjoyable trip for us and thank you for all the arrangements made! More
