Food: A little more time at the bottom for the tea/coffee would have been nice. The breakfast at the top was really bare (toast, egg and a banana) Tour: The tour was amazing. The view was magnificent (why we booked the tour in the first place) and the guide was helpful. Needed fitness level: Took rouhgly 2h. At times it was a little steep so wearing shoes with some grip is helpful. If you do sports from time to time however if shouldn't be an issue at all. The guide also made time for breaks.

Yes, the start is crazy early :) But oh so worth it! Hotel pickup, then to meeting point. Then a shuttle to base camp. Then we set off with 2 others and our guide! Everything executed so smoothly. The hike is rugged at times, but manageable. Our guide found us an excellent vantage point, and we watched the sky change to red, and watched the sun pop up on the horizon. All the while, our guide made us breakfast! (Watch out the monkeys don't steal your breakfast!!) Our guide took us down a different route, and shuttled back to our hotel. Both drivers, and the guide were excellent, and patient. Good trainers a must! At a minimum. Some were wearing decent hiking boots. Leave those flip-flops at the hotel!!

Full description

Embark on a guided sunrise trek to the Mount Batur volcano on a full-day trip from Bali. Ascend this famous volcano which stands at 5,633 ft above sea level. Take in the views overlooking the crater lake while you enjoy breakfast at the summit.
Get up early to begin their trek in time for the break of dawn. Enjoy a transfer from your hotel in Bali and arrive at the starting point at 3:40 AM for a short briefing and to receive your trekking gear. The trek to the summit of Mount Batur takes 1.5-2 hours, across 3.5 km. The total distance of the trail is approximately 11 km over 4 hours.
Begin your hike before light, walking at cooler climes under an awe-inspiring blanket of stars. At the top, witness the sun come up over a sea of clouds before continuing to trek around the crater lake and summit ridge. You'll be given a hot beverage and a sandwich and egg to revive your spirits.

After exploring recent lava flows and younger craters, head down to loop back to the starting point through a unique volcanic landscape full of native flora and fauna. Watch out for the tall grass with purple bloom and encounter mischievous Balinese long-tailed macaques along the way.

This is a once in a lifetime experience that I’m so glad we didn’t skip. The early rise was completely worth it, and was made easy by shuttles from place to place. Our drive with Imam was a smooth one hour and 20 and we arrived with plenty of time for their teas and coffees. Please note that you’re paying for the quality of the instructors rather than the breakfast offered, as this is a simple brekky of hot beverages, eggs and bread to get you energised. After our briefing, we set off on the 2 hour hike up. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS HIKE, and can be difficult for people who suffer from dizziness, asthma etc. However, our guides Made, Wisnu and Wayan made us take frequent breaks, and were extremely mindful of all members of the group at all times. Their communication and friendliness was five stars, and I couldn’t recommend them more. The hike is such a wonderful activity and the views were outstanding. Watch out for the monkeys at the top!!
