Mount Batur Hike & Hot Spring Tour

Made was an excellent guide and made sure our small group got up and down the mountain safely. I found the descent difficult with the steep sandy terrain but Made was there every step of the way to help. The views from the top were incredible, well worth the early start. There were lots of monkeys at the summit too which was a nice surprise!

Our guide and driver were right on time to scoop us up. It was crazy cloudy at the top so the sunset didn’t show up, but the views were still next level.

The whole experience was a vibe, even though the hike wasn’t a walk in the park—bit of drizzle made it trickier. Big thanks to our guide Gede who was super helpful and even snapped some epic pics for us. 10/10 would recommend.

I would think it’s not an easy trek but the guide is there to help. Chose sunset trekking for a different experience, the hike down after sunset is pretty dark so got to be careful. Overall recommended if you want to work your legs!

Our guide, Made, was incredible and the best guide we could’ve asked for. She constantly checked on us and asked if we wanted breaks or if we wanted to stop for photos. She was happy to go at our pace and helped us at the challenging spots to ensure we wouldn’t fall. She was also very friendly and was lovely to chat with. I’m glad we did the private tour so we could go at our own pace. The hike was very challenging since it’s done in the dark. Two of us ended up taking a bike to the top while the other completed the hike. The views at the top were extremely beautiful, even though it was a bit cloudy. It also drizzled a bit, but nothing a warm jacket and a poncho couldn’t handle. We were also given a breakfast at the top with sandwiches, boiled eggs, snack bars, bananas, snake fruits, and hot chocolate.
