No words can describe how amazing this experience was! Our jeep tour guide Angga was INCREDIBLE. Not only did he take our amazing photos, he took the time to explain the history and culture of Bali! He was very patient, compassionate, and very friendly! Would 1000% recommend him for this experience! Shout out to our driver, Tonie, who drove us for all our transfer points. Thank you for your patience and consideration! You made this adventure so memorable! From Gloria, Toyi, and Flower

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Sunrise Jeep Tour of Mt Batur! After reading some reviews mentioning the bumpy ride, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the most incredible experiences of our trip! Our Jeep driver, Mang Arista, was absolutely amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and such a skilled driver. He made the journey feel safe and fun, and he also turned out to be a fantastic photographer! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. A special mention to Broto, our driver who picked us up from the resort. He was so lovely and accommodating, even though it was such a long day for him. His kindness really added to the experience. Watching the sunrise over Mt Batur was simply breathtaking, something I’ll remember forever. 🌄 Highly recommend this tour, it’s an absolute must-do in Bali!

Climbing Mount Batur was an unforgettable experience that you definitely shouldn’t miss. The whole morning was quite challenging, but absolutely worth it. The hike itself is demanding, yet manageable and thanks to our amazing tour guides it was much more enjoyable. After the hike, we visited the hot springs, which was the perfect way to relax and recover. It felt amazing to soak in the warm water after such an intense climb. Another highlight was the coffee plantation with a tasting session the staff were so attentive, explained everything in detail, and let us try many different kinds of coffee and tea. A special mention goes to our driver Aguss – right after the booking he texted us to arrange the pickup address. He was always waiting for us on time and made sure we got everywhere safely. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience with our driver War Sana. I'm a right leg amputee and war sana made sure there was nothing I couldn't do, from helping me in & out of the jeep to bringing us breakfast & coffees to the jeep, taking some incredible photos for us at the sunrise, and providing such a fun experience, we also got the black volcano and where able to get out and explore there too. A huge thankyou to war sana for being so helpful & understanding we had the best time and you're a great guide! We also had an amazing taxi driver who took us too and from the location for the jeep, called endrik. This was brilliantly organised!

Tips for Mount Batur private tours

  • Dress for the chill especially at the summit. Temperatures at the top can drop to 8–15°C before sunrise, so pack a warm jacket, gloves if you're sensitive to cold, and long pants that protect your legs.
  • Choose your footwear wisely. Whether you’re trekking or hopping into a jeep, wear proper hiking shoes or grippy sneakers. The volcanic trails and lava fields can be loose and slippery.
  • Plan for a super-early pickup. Most tours begin between 1:30am and 2:30am, so get to bed early the night before. Ask your host or hotel to arrange a wake-up call if needed.
  • For the non-hikers, jeep is the way to go. Want the sunrise without the sweat? The 4x4 jeep option takes you to the top in comfort and lets you explore more ground post-sunrise.
  • Don't skip the hot springs. After a sunrise trek, a dip in Toya Devasya or other nearby springs is more than refreshing. It's quite soothing for the tired legs.
  • Keep an eye on the weather, especially in the wet season. November to March can bring clouds or rain. You might catch the sunrise but visibility isn’t always guaranteed.
  • Don’t rely on mobile signal at the summit. If you plan to share your sunrise moment live, don't count on full bars. Just be present and upload later.
  • Make the most of combo tours. If your tour includes Ubud, black lava fields, or coffee plantations, research ahead to prioritize what interests you most.
