Full description
This is a 7-hour experience from Ubud, built around View point. It is run by Your Bali Trekking Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Mount Batur is an active volcano of 1,717 metres standing inside a much older caldera, with Lake Batur on the floor of it. Sunrise treks start from Toya Bungkah on the lake shore, climb for around two hours on volcanic sand and loose rock, and aim to be on the rim by about 5:30, since the sun comes up between 6:00 and 6:30 depending on the month, behind the cone of Mount Agung to the east. The summit before dawn is regularly 8 to 12°C with wind, so a real warm layer matters more than anything else you pack. Trekking is run through the local village association, which is why every tour, ours included, comes with a guide, and most mornings end at the hot springs on the lake shore. Jeep and ATV versions drive to a viewpoint on the flank of the volcano for the same sunrise and skip the climb, which is the right choice for knees, small children and anyone who did not sleep. In the wet season, November to March, the top is often inside cloud at dawn and there is no refund for weather.
The price covers Hotel pick-up and drop-off, Entrance fees, Bottled water, Morning breakfast tea and Lunch. It does not cover Gratuities, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hotel pickup in Ubud. Your Bali Trekking Tour confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in.

Traveler Reviews
I do some exercise, but I have very little hiking experience, and since I’m in my late 50s, I felt a bit anxious at first. However, it turned out there was absolutely no problem at all. The guide was always attentive to how everyone was doing, so I never felt uneasy. Although there were occasional light rain and mist, the sky gradually cleared at the summit, and we were able to enjoy the sunrise and the views. I highly recommend this experience. For clothing, a quick-dry base layer is best (I wore a short-sleeved T-shirt, while others wore long sleeves). At the summit, since your clothes will
Our actual activities were absolutely brilliant me and a friend did the sunrise hike followed by the white water rafting. It’s so great for the price, we got transport from our hostel to the sunrise hike, then transport from the hike to rafting and from rafting straight back to our hostel! Our driver D was fab and looked after us really well. Our guide up and down the mountain Manggie was so kind and patient with us we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. You get a filling breakfast at the top of the mountain and coffee and biscuits before, then lunch after the rafting. Our only regret was
We had the best day from start to finish! It was all very well organised. We had the loveliest driver & guides for both activities who were all very attentive & lovely natured. The hike is moderate difficulty & definitely requires some decent footwear. Views are breathtaking. A small breakfast is provided at the top prepared by the guides which was a lovely touch. The white water rafting was great fun. As mentioned in other reviews there are many stairs down & back up from the river which require moderate fitness. Showers are available back at the base area & a tasty Indonesian buffet which wa
What a day! our Driver Ismail was awesome, picking us up at the crack of dawn and taking us to start the hike. Our tracking guide Luna was fantastic too, she took us up the mountain at a streay pace with plenty of chance for rest. if you've done any hiking before you will have no issue with the mountain. after a stunning sunrise Ismail took us to coffee tasting and rafting with some picture spots and information along the way. Thank you for a great day!
Our tour guide/ driver Kadek Putra was amazing overall. He was very good at driving, felt safe the whole time. Jesenn, our hiking guide for Mount Batur was amazing. She was encouraging the whole way. After the hike Kadek took us to a coffee plantation tour where we got to sample lots of coffee and tea which was an added bonus! I am grateful for such an asking experience!
This activity was superb fun though be warned that doing the trek and white water rafting on the same day requires some athleticism! What made the activity stand out is our driver Supredi who was attentive, drove excellent, and spoke great english. I cannot recommend him and this tour more!
An outstanding experience for the brave. Hiking mount Batour and then going down and up the stairs of a rafting is a challenge. Both experiences are absolutely worth it! Our driver Amit, was very kind, explained the schedule and kept us informed at all stages. Good driver and always wanting to be helpful when needed which made this challenging trip easier :)
The hike was An amazing experience I would highly recommend. My only small criticism would be that we waited over an hour up the top in the dark/cold. Would have been better with only 30 mins up top. Transportation and guide were very friendly and accomodating
The guide and driver were absolutely brilliant - they were both super friendly, and made me feel so safe and welcome! It was an extremely long day, and D (the driver) was totally positive throughout. An absolute joy!
Both were well organised, didn't feel like I was left out. Weather was bad but the guides made it fun! Wisnu the driver was also wonderful and able to adapt to changes, patiently waited for me to finish both activities and lunch.
Our driver Rapa picked us up from our villa. Right from the first moment he was extremely engaging, very kind and polite. He drove with utmost care and told us many interesting things about Bali on our way to the starting point. Despite a super early hour (2.20am) he was with a big smile, he cared to learn all the group’s names. Our trekking guide (sorry, we didn’t note her name) was very helpful and kind, joyful, sincere, attentive to everyone’s needs and pace and caring. Overall this was an amazing experience!
The best thing you could do in Bali! We were picked up at 1:30am by our lovely driver TEJA. He was very nice and took us from place to place. The hike was amazing and our tour guide Patrick made it the best experience it could be. The hike itself was lots of fun, moderate fitness is required as there are many steep parts to it, and a difficult terrain, fell down a few times. The view at the top makes it very worth your money, where you will receive a breakfast and a warm drink. Patrick made it a phenomenal experience and would 100% recommend. The water rafting was lots of fun as well and went
