We went with this company because it wasn't that expensive as other ones. We went on a private trip and the driver was on time. Actually he was too early,... read more and so were we so we left around 2am in the morning. On the way we stopped for a tea and pancake.
At the starting point our guide Adi was waiting for us. He was really friendly and nice. Very positive and funny man! Of course it was pretty crowded up there, but we also had some moments that we were walking by ourselves. The view was nice although not a real good sunrise because of the clouds. Up there Adi made us a breakfast and we could really use the hot tea because it was so cold and windy up there!! (defenitly think about bringing a jacket!).
We had a great walk and would for sure recommend this company and particularly Adi because of his positive vibe!!!! More

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...

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 not sure if we should go through with this because our 11-year old daughter was feeling sick, but she seemed to be on the upswing and my wife... read more was very excited about this, so we went ahead with it. It was definitely too strenuous for a weakened 11 year old. When I thought we would need to turn back, our friendly guide Jata offered our daughter a ride on his back and carried her halfway up the mountain! He was worried she would be too cold at the top so he arranged for a place for her to rest that had a beautiful view of the sunrise. I stayed with her and my wife and older daughter went to the top. Jata carried her most of the way down as well. He further took some great pictures for us and generally made what could have been a dud of an outing into an amazing day. The hot springs is the perfect after trek activity -- definitely recommended! More

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

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...
