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

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.

  My wife and I came to Bali for our honeymoon and were recommended here by our driver, we had a private tour with Wiyan Saur It was a great... read more recommendation because we both had an amazing experience. Wiyan was very knowledgeable of the path and helped my wife and I in the more difficult parts of the path. He also was the best photographer around taking breathtaking photos for us on top of Mt. Batur. We left the summit around 4:15 AM and arrived at the peak 15 mins before sunrise with the help of Wiyan, wouldn’t have been able to do it without him. My wife and I had never hiked before and it was quite the difficult trek but Wiyan was understanding in giving us breaks and taking us through the best path. I would highly recommend Bagus and Wiyan for your Mt. Batur trek - they also give you tea and breakfast before you begin and a meal to have on top of the mountain. There is no better company and guide than Bagus and Wiyan - you can rest assured they will take great care of you. More

Haha but our tour guide, Wayan Suar made sure I made it to the top (and back down) safely. He carried my bag for me and stopped/slowed down when I needed to. He made us breakfast and brought us to the highest point with amazing 360 view where it wasn’t too crowded. We didn’t pack warm enough clothes so he gave us blankets to keep warm. He also took some great pictures for us! Highly recommend!
