Review of Bali’s Mount Batur sunrise trek, with practical advice on fitness, transport, breakfast, guides, views, price, and what to pack.
“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…”

Review of the Ijen Volcano sunrise hike from Bali, covering blue fire, ferry transfers, costs, difficulty, guides, timing, and practical tips.
“Sopie, our tour guide, was super energetic and in a great mood throughout the trip. The drivers were also really sweet and competent, too. As for the volcano, it's... weird. There were a lot of people, but we expected that. Still, the whole experience felt more like an open-air performance, with very strategically placed visual cues. What was truly disturbing, though, was seeing mine workers in poor condition, working through the night. If that’s real, and not just part of the "spectacle," then it’s a serious human rights issue. Amnesty International should definitely take action, because the conditions those workers are in seem completely unacceptable.”

“Long was amazing on this trip. He explained every aspect on our journey to each trip and introduced us to all the new areas that we drove through. He was very knowledgeable and we learnt lots on the trip! He also took photos of us throughout the trip which was great as we never get any together normally. He also checked if we needed anything on the way home. His attention to detail was 100% I would highly recommend Long. Such a lovely friendly man who made us feel comfortable throughout our trip!

“My partner and I had an amazing experience on this volcano hike. Our hotel transfer arrived on time and we were taken to Besakih temple where we met our guide Khaki. He was the best person we could have asked for to accompany us on this journey, an experienced climber for over 30 years on the mountain. The views at the summit were breathtaking and the memories will last a lifetime. We will be sure to hike again with this tour company and guide.”

“We had an amazing experience on this tour and I’m so glad I booked it for me and my partner! We booked it the afternoon before the hike and got confirmation and great communication from Gede, our driver. He picked us up from our hotel at the exact pick up time and chatted with us the whole way to the mountain which was really nice! We then got taken by our guide, Wira, who was also so nice and very attentive to our needs (e.g. stopping, offering to take photos). We took a less crowded route which was much nicer and felt like we had a private tour! He was…”
