Wonderful Trip... from the exciting n very bumpy Jeep ride, to quietly waiting as the sunrise unfolded as we ate breakfast n sipped on coffee. Our guide/driver , Kati, was knowledgeable, super friendly and a master at the photo shoot. Sadly that one dam cloud got in tne way of a perfect Sunrise but just maybe that's what made it perfect!! Our Car driver, Yudiana, went the extra mile for beautiful lookouts over the Valley n waited as we went to the Hot Spring Pools but go early as it's quiet then n got VERY busy by the time we left to the fabulous Luwak coffee plantation tasting... gosh there were about 12 different coffee n tea tasting VERY HAPPY DAY HAD BY ALL THANK YOU KATI n YUDIANA

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!

The driver Kinyong pick us up right on time in the middle of the night. We got out of luck and couldn't see the sunrise because it was too cloudy. We then decided to quickly go down and head earlier to the hot springs. Our driver let us enjoy the hot springs more than enough before bringing us to the coffee plantation where we had the chance to relax and taste several teas and coffees. It was a great day !!

This is the BEST way to see the sunrise on mount Batur and booking through headout is the cheapest as well. It is so well organized. There is a very good breakfast organized for you after the tour as well in a very beautiful restaurant. Something that's not included in many other packages. Our driver Ridho and jeep driver Agus were very helpful and kind. Totally recommend them. Amazing experience.

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.
