  The trip is very good organised. The whole schedule is perfectly set. We could take all our times without passing any important moment, especially the sunrise. The driver and tour... read more guide were experienced and outstanding. The services such as breakfast and hot drinks were great.

We met with Wayan Suar our guide early in the morning, the hike was not very easy for me and my girlfriend, especially with me being already sick as it is, Wayan helped me every step of the way as we took many breaks along the way, and I was having problems breathing and gained a level of tiresome I never have encountered, but Wayan was there every step of the way to help. When we reached the peak around 6 AM, it was one of the most scenic views I had ever seen, surreal. He helped us get amazing pictures when we were up on the peak, jut seeing those sea of clouds were breathtaking while watching the sunrise with my girlfriend. Wayan had a hot tea and breakfast up for us up at the top, and helped get monkeys away from it with a stick. We went the longer but easier way down and Wayan was understanding of every step of the way. He had made me a walking stick to help not slide down and hurt yourself, like we saw other people do, he was one of the best guides I've ever had in my life for a trek like this. Then...

Then we headed to Sekumpul Waterfall, which took about 3 hours to get because the road was closed. We saw an amazing waterfall which was 230 steps down to get to and up, he showed us three waterfalls and allowed us to swim for a good amount of time while getting good photos. We came back up and had a good lunch, our driver was very nice and understanding of the traffic we didn't get back till 6 PM, but overall the trip was enjoyable, and unforgettable, me and my girlfriend will never forget this journey that day.

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...

  My boyfriend and I went on the Batur Sunrise Hike in Bali. If you are considering doing this hike make sure you add this to your list! You will not... read more be disappointed. Our guide (Jata Yuna Manjku) was great. We really enjoyed his company and had great conversation walking up the mountain. At the top, he left us to enjoy the beginning of the sunrise while he made us breakfast (he’s also a great photographer). After the sunrise, we explored the top of the volcano where he shared with us the geographical history of the volcano (you can see and feel the steam rising from the vents). As for the sunrise- it was the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen.

FYI-
This hike is approximately 5 hours long (2 to hike up- 1 to enjoy the view from the top- 2 to hike down)

ALSO- wear layers. Hiking up is surprisingly cold. (I wore shorts, sweats, a t-shirt, and a light jacket)

Additionally- pack a blanket and a water bottle. There are benches at the top you sit at while the sun rises and until the sun comes out, it can be quite cold! More

  I can't stress how good of a guide Wayan was. He took us up at our own pace, prepared us a sunrise lunch and told us facts about the volcano... read more on the way down. Also, he will guaranteed get you the best pictures with his photography tricks. Very much recommended.
