An all around amazing experience! Drivers and guides were very professional and also attentive/responsive to your needs. Thank you to Arjana and Kadek who made this the highlight of our stay here in Bali. We did: Mt Batur Sunrise Hike with Coffee Plantation, Hot Springs and Rice Fields Details of the day: We were staying in Ubud and at 2:15 am our driver Arjana came to pick us up. Car ride was as smooth as he could have driven on the narrow and winding roads up to Mt. Batur. There we met our guide for the hike, Kadek. Water and headlamps and a walking stick for climbing was provided here. The hike itself was slightly more steep than expected. However a wonderful experience to walk under the stars. While it was quite dark, we felt safe and cared for at every turn thanks to Kadek's hospitality. We would definitely recommend bringing a jacket or hoodie, or both as it was very cold once you get to the top. Good hiking or trekking shoes are almost a must as well, the pebbly terrain at the start of the trail is very slippery even when dry. The private guide also allowed for us to hike at our own pace, which helped a lot, given that the hike was a bit more strenuous than expected. At the top, we were served a simple breakfast while we waited for the sunrise. Kadek was very professional and helped us take very nice photos as well as introduce us to the different parts that make up Mt Batur's scenery. The hike down is just as scenic or maybe even better than the sunrise. After the hike, Arjana drove us to the various spots we paid for where he drove us right up to the entrance and got our tickets for us. He was always very quick to respond when we were done touring the area and fast at bringing us to the next location. Thank you all again for the tour!

Booked: Private Mount Batur Sunrise Trek | Stop at Coffee Farm

The trip was amazing!! The local guide was great! He showed us the local way of life and told many interesting stories. Wi was enthusiastic and just a really fun guy to hang out with. I love how the local community is involved with this experience. We got breakfast from a sweet lady in the village nearby and the view was stunning. I’m so happy that I chose to book this tour instead of the regular mount batur. On the way we saw many many jeeps and people heading that way while our experience felt so much more exclusive and close to the ‘real Bali’. Would definitely recommend everyone to do this.

Our guide Wayan was the best! Sad it was cloudy the day we went but that's just bad luck.

We had a great hike and a stunning sunrise. Definitely worth doing whilst in Bali. The loss of a star was due to the volume of hikers/jeeps/bikes on the mountain which is completely out of the control of the company/guide. Our driver Sari was a great, safe driver and we loved the stop at the coffee plantation. Eri was a fab guide, keen to take photos and make the experience a memorable one. We even got a rendition of ‘My heart will go on’ for sunrise. Great pair, really recommend them.

Booked: Private Mount Batur Sunrise Trek | Stop at Coffee Farm

I was so glad we did this tour instead of the main trek of Mount Batur. The views were amazing from this viewpoint and you can see many different peaks. It was so quiet and Justin limits the number of people who ascend each day so it's guaranteed to be uncrowded and peaceful. We went in August and it was really cold before the sun rose - you warm up quick on the hike but remember to wear layers that you can take off and put back on. I would recommend leggings instead of shorts for girls and definitely bring a jumper. We are relatively young and fit, the hike only took us 45mins. It's short, but quite steep and the soil is loose. Wear actual hiking shoes. You get given a bamboo stick which really helps with balance on the way up and down and you will have a private guide per group who will help you if you're not a confident hiker. Breakfast at the summit was simple but did the job! We were also worried about the early wake up but each group that books gets their own private driver. We were thankful that we didn't have to share a car with anyone in the early morning. The experience felt really authentic and I feel like we got to see authentic Bali away from the tourist crowds. Nawa is a great guide! He's fun and takes great photos and videos and should really be a movie director. Justin was very friendly and knowledgeable about Bali and Kintamani and taught us a lot! 5/5 experience. Must do!

We loved our trip with Bali Yok. The sunset mt Batur view hike was lovely. Off the beaten track and with a great view of Mt Batur and the other mountains in the region. Our guides were stellar photographers! They knew exactly what to do to get the perfect settings on our phones, and set up some amazing poses with the sunrise. Additionally, they were also incredibly accomodating when we got down from the first hike and said we wanted to keep going. Our wonderful guide Nawa was happy to take us up Mt Batur. This turned out to be an incredible and personalised experience. We hope to come back to the region again to have Nawa as a guide!

I have taken the main trek up Mt Batur in the past and this was a far more enjoyable experience. The hike was shorter which suited the abilities of younger group members and the whole trip was far more personal. Justin and Yosi picked everyone up on time from different locations and Wi and Kadek were lovely informative guides. We had a view of multiple peaks and shared the sunrise with only two other couples. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a more personal Batur experience or who would prefer a shorter walk.
