The hike was amazing and the view was incredible !! My tour guide was the best !! Once you get to the top you get a banana sandwich and you can buy water.My only issue was with the driver who was just awful. His driving was erratic on the almost 2 hour drive to get there. One the trip was over, we thought we were going back to our hotel because we had not eaten in almost 7 hours. The driver ended up bringing 2 hour guests to a different location which took 1.5 hours. After dropping them off, we asked him to stop somewhere so we could get some lunch to go. His reply was that therewas nowhere to park and he would have to keep driving around until our food was ready. He proceeded to bring us back to our hotel in Seminyak and that was another 2 hour ride with no food or water !! We went almost 10 hours with no food or water.
It was amazing! So very well organised! We had two guides, one in the front and one at the back. As I’m a bit slower, the one at the back stayed with me through the whole trek! He was so polite and ended up giving him a tip! God bless you!🙏🏾
It was really wonderful trip. We book the trip with Bali Ubud Tour. We are small group with 15 person. They pick up us at 2 am, with large car. It is good for 15 person. The sunrise is really amazing. We spend 2 hours on the trek to get summit of the mount Batur. This is really recomend for every one if don't have any serious health problem who come to Bali. 1000% recommended.
We booked Mt Batur sunrise trekking trip and it was worth it! Our driver was very kind, spoke good enogh english. We had great pancake and coffee breakfast before hiking. We were given flashlights by our guide, and went up the mountain. My suggestion is if you dont feel comfortable about hiking, dont do it. The trial is very rocky, there is a lot of people pushing around to get the best spot and it is really dark even with flashlight so you have to be very careful. But if you feel like you can do it, you probabaly can ;) Remember to bring a good pair of trekking boots and jacket, as its really cold at the top. The view at the top is epic. You can enjoy sunrise at the top of a volcano. We got a bread/egg breakfast at the top, took loooots of photos and went down to meet our driver. We were dropped off at the doorstep of our hotel in Ubud. The trip was well organised, no problems at all, no hidden cost, no forcing us to buy anything, and the price was very good too! You wont regret going to Mt Batur with Bali Ubud Tours ;)
