This hike is the most incredible experience and I am so glad we chose to do it with this company. It was very easy to organise over WhatsApp. The whole... read more trip was organised for us from start to finish. Really nice and professional driver and was so good to have banana pancakes before we begun! Every member of staff we met was so friendly and helpful! The hike was pretty tough but sooo worth the view and experience of being up there. If you’re scared of heights then the summit might be a bit challenging as you are walking next to a crater! We feel SO lucky to have had Mangku as our guide!!! He is the most charming, polite and knowledgeable guide and made our experience even more special as we were able to learn even more about Balinese culture. He took some insane pictures and was really helpful on more difficult bits of the hike. He really was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much Mangku!!! More

We did the Mt Batur hike in early September and it was amazing! Picked up on time and when we arrived at a small cafe we were offered pancakes and... read more tea/coffee before being taken to the foot of the mountain where we were introduced to our tour guide Jata. He really made the experience, really chatty & gave us the option to go as fast/slow as we wanted. We were even able to choose whether we wanted to go up the slightly trickier or easier route. We chose the trickier and it was real good fun! As well as this we were joined by a lovely young boy Jero lanang who carries drinks in his bag for you to buy on the way up (really good price as well). When we reached the top the views were breathtaking and Jata prepared a lovely breakfast for us. The only thing I was worried about before the trip was being rushed back down but he gave us as much time as we wanted at the peak and helped us get some amazing pictures as well as feed the monkeys! The way down can be quite slippery but again Jata was super helpful. One of my favourite experiences since being in Bali and I would definitely recommend. Thanks again to Jata and Jero who really topped it off!

I toured solo with Mangku as my guide. He was patient with me as I am not a regular hiker. For those who don’t hike, it is tough but doable-... read more took just under 2 hours up (3mi). Able to take many breaks along the way, while local guide provided some history of the trek and area. Arrival at the top was beautiful, breath-taking, and COLD. Mangku prepared my breakfast and I sat and watched the sunrise. Mangku also took amazing photos of me with the beautiful volcanoes, lake and sun as my backdrop. Pick up from Ubud was timely, safe driver. Headed to hot springs for a dip afterwards (almost felt like an adult water park), didn’t spend much time here. Overall amazing highlight to my tour in Bali. More

Great views and worth waking up early. - A great experience that I would recommend for anyone looking to explore the natural scenery of Bali. The hike was not a walk in the park, but Tana was a... read more great guide and very experienced. He was very accommodating and took us around the crater when we requested it. If possible, I recommend going the long way down instead of heading straight back down as you get great views of the surrounding countryside and various craters. Additionally, he lets you go at your own pace. Tana is extremely welcoming. It was great getting meet him and learning about his life in Bali.
Would definitely recommend this hike to anyone wanting to get off the streets and experience the natural beauty of Bali. You should be in relatively good shape in order to enjoy this hike. Those with lower fitness can make it but may find themselves struggling a bit. Be sure to wear good closed toed shoes with good traction and bring a light jacket with a hood/hat for the summit as it can be surprisingly chilly. The breakfast at the top is a welcome addition and the hot springs afterwards is definitely recommend to unwind.

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.
September 15, 2019 Absolutely amazing experience. Our guide Oman was the best! He was so knowledgeable, telling us about the area and super friendly. If you get Oman as your tour guide you... read more are very lucky! The walk itself was so worth it when you get to the top. Even with a few clouds it was stunning.

This was a beautiful experience as the last event of my Bali visit. I chose the Sunset tour instead of the Sunrise to avoid the crowds and being almost alone... read more up on the volcano was worth it, even though the view was not as picturesque...More

Mount Batur sunrise hike , a trip we will never forget 🙏 - We did our Mount Batur sunrise hike with Mang Yon and he was a fantastic guide . We were a group of varying age and ability and he... read more guided us every step of the way . He was really friendly and made sure we were safe throughout the whole hike . His experience was invaluable and without his advice we would have missed sunrise . He took some fantastic pictures for us and also ensured that everyone's dietary needs were catered for . This trip was special and Yon ensured that it was something we will always remember. Thankyou so much
