Indonesia is a country located in the same location of Pacific Ring of Fire. Therefore, you can find many active volcanoes in Indonesia. The most popular one maybe is the Krakatau, which its explosion killed many people and even the sound and its effect affect the world climate. Basically, every island and area in Indonesia has a chance to have volcano mountain. Bali is not an exception.
Bali has several volcanoes, such as Mount Batur and Mount Agung. And, they are famous for bali volcano hike activity. Because of the volcanic activity, the geography and condition in those mountains are different. They are beautiful. Amazing or even amusing maybe is the correct word to describe the view.
However, that’s what makes the Bali volcano hike activity become much more interesting to do. It’s also quite challenging because the track isn’t that easy. A beginner will have a lot of problems. But, with right guide and trekking service, they will be able to enjoy the hike. In the end, the different and best hiking experience is the only thing they will bring back home.
Now, are you interested to try the volcano hike in Bali? Here is what you need to know about those mountains. Mount Batur and Mount Agung are the perfect destinations you can choose. They are good trekking destination for a beginner as well as a pro. So, let’s take a look at what you can get from the Bali volcano hike in those two mountains.
The Hike in Mount Batur
The Mount Batur height is 1717 meters above sea level. And, the trekking route you need to take to reach the peak is not that far. You will need around 2 hours to reach the peak. Mount Batur is the best choice for beginner trekker. The trekking route is quite easy. But, you still get the challenges that you want.
There are many great things you can find in this mountain. First of all is the crater. There is a big crater-lake on top of the mountain. In fact, this is the biggest crater-lake you can find in Bali. The scenery in this place is really amazing. It feels like you are entering a different fantasy world.
Usually, when you take the Bali volcano hike package, the tour company also takes you to enjoy other interesting spots. Crater maybe is the main menu. However, near the crater, you also can find hot springs. You can take a dip in this place and have some relax time.
However, the main attraction in Mount Batur is the sunrise viewing. Therefore, if you try to find the Bali volcano hike package, most of them offer it as the sunrise trekking. You will climb at dawn, around 3 a.m., to reach the peak on time just before the sunrise. Then, you can see it while enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious breakfast on top of the mountain.
The Hike in Mount Agung
This one is the real challenge. Beginner trekker will have one of the hardest obstacles in their earlier history as a trekker. First of all, the distance from the starting point to the top of the mountain is really far. Therefore, if you use the Bali volcano hike package in Mount Agung, the company will pick you up much earlier than when you hike at Mount Batur.
For example, if you use Bagus Bali Sunrise Trekking service, you will start your climbing at midnight. Then, you will reach the top right at 6 a.m. Just from this information, you can see that you need around 6 hours to finish the trekking route. Compared to Mount Batur that only needs around 2 hours, this one is completely another level.
The Balinese see Mount Agung as the sacred mountain. They see it as the center of the world. Therefore, all the temples you can find in Bali were built facing this mountain. Therefore, this mountain maybe becomes the one that will give you a different feeling in your Bali volcano hike activity.
That’s not all. The scenery on top of the mountain is really amazing. You can see one of the most beautiful sunrises from the top of this mountain. This is also the main attraction that Bagus Bali Sunrise Trekking offered. Therefore, if you really want to enjoy this beautiful scenery, you can use this company service.
Mount Agung stands at 3,031 meters above sea level. It’s higher than Mount Batur and the highest mountain in Bali. Therefore, the scenery you can see at the top of this mountain is different than what you can find at the peak of Mount Batur. Therefore, it’s a worthy and a must for your Bali volcano hike adventure.

Bagus Bali Sunrise Trekking is experienced trekking tour company in Bali
EXCELLENT Based on 2145 reviews misha2025-08-25Verified Excellent experience and service I did a sunrise Jeep and trekking tour with Bagus. My card didn’t go through the websites booking system, but the company was quite accommodating in providing me with cash payment option. Also, my reservation was last minute (done within 24hours of the scheduled time), and they managed to get me a tour even then. I was picked up by a nice comfortable large executive style car from the hotel and dropped at the Jeep pick up point at the mountain. From there, my guide Adi took me to the hiking start point and we started the hike. He is very warm, I am an occasional beginner hiker and he was quite motivating in ensuring I push through the hike. He also kept on checking on me multiple times, if I needed rest or stop as the inclination is quite steep. We did stop a few times. I decided not to summit but we were able to complete about 70% of the hike and view from there was surreal. I must say, Adi made my hike even more joyous by his photography skills :) I have come back with an excellent hiking experience and some great pictures. Highly recommend Bagus! putri m2025-08-24Verified Mt Batur trekking jalur trekking yang tidak terlalu sulit dan pemandangan yang sangat indah di puncak.next pasti bawa anak2 kembali.thanks to guide yang baik hati Bli Komang😊 flavio l2025-08-24Verified Batur al tramonto Merita un poco di fatica, perché lo spettacolo naturale e la compagnia della giuda locale (grazie Nick dispobilile, esperto e sorridente) sono unici.Poca gente al tramonto in vetta. Flavio e Stefania EBT_TEB2025-08-23Verified Best Sunrise experience What a beautiful experience 🤩 perfect weather, clear skies above, a blanket of fluffy clouds just beneath, and an incredibly magnificent sunrise ☀️ It was all made even better with Carik as our private Jeep chauffeur, hiking guide, and the icing on the cake was his superb photography and videography skills! A must-do activity for everyone visiting Bali, and highly recommend Carik as your guide! Johannes D2025-08-23Verified Great tour! Wonderful tour with Tana our guide! Great experience for us and our children! Ascent with kids 7 and 9 well doable. Watch out for good footwear. Jodie H2025-08-22Verified An absolute amazing experience! This tour was the highlight of this Bali trip. The whole tour was very well organised. The driver was on time and great car, it was a 1.5 hour drive after the 2am villa pick up. We met our hike guide at the bottom of the mountain who provided head touch, hike stick and water. The 1.5 - 2 hour hike up in the dark was challenging due to uneven ground, loose rocks and it was a steep hike. There are a few rest points on the way up and motorbikes can take you if you struggle for extra charge 300 on way up 250 on way down cash only. The final 15 min walk to the peak must be on foot, very loose ground so you need to be really careful. At the peak it’s all worth it. Amazing view, sunrise was spectacular, the photos are stunning and you get to rest with breakfast included. We walked around the crater when it was light and took in the amazing views. On the way down was even more challenging due to the loose ground so many people slipped on the loose rocks so you really need good shoes and to take your time. Once you are down the driver takes you to hot springs, it was busy but nice to soak off all the dust and dirt from the hike. Hot springs were busy but a really good set up. We asked our driver to make an extra stop on the way back to a coffee plantation and he was more then happy to do for us. We were really impressed with this tour and highly recommend! Victoria Z2025-08-22Verified Best sunrise in mount batur We had an amazing experience at mount Batur. the organisation was very smooth. Our guide Jata was very careful and he took a path that was not crowdy so that the hike was more enjoyable ! Totally recommend it 🤩 Marc2025-08-20Verified Very good but could be so much better So having spent some time reviewing Mount Batur tours it seems the best solution is the over night camping. It was very good but could be so much better with a little more attention to detail. For example our driver who picked us from the hotel didn’t change gear in the car so it was raving at it high point most of the time and creating a washing machine effect and making us feel sick. This guy needs to learn to drive better stop eating and drinking and planning with the gps and radio and focus on driving better IGB Kusuma Jaya you get 1 star for your driving. Pick up 1pm in Sanur and drop off at next pick up 3.30pm. Meet a new guide Mang Yon lokal he was great such a nice guy and couldn’t be more helpful he was brilliant highly recommended. He informed me that for some extra cash we could get a Jeep to 70% of the way up the Mountain or for 700,000 we could get on the back of two motor bike and get taken 90% of the way up. This was the best idea ever and the best money spent 600,000 on the way down. The ride is 15 minutes instead of 2 hours walking for £15 each highly recommend and the riders are so good and careful. This allows you to get to the top and see the sunset with 2 hours spare for pictures and exploring. If you walk it’s 2 to 2.30 hours and very rough terrain and steep it’s like doing an iron man event. Get a bike or jeep for such little extra cost. Arrived saw the sunset and got hot drinks and some food, rice, chicken leg ( deep fried ) vegetable soup, tea, coffee, chocolate and banana. So well fed. Then a fire was made and shown to our tent, I think the tent mattress could be thicker to make it more comfortable and a blanket provided it went down to 10 degrees and was very cold so wrap up well and bring your own blanket they provided tent and pillows mattress and sleeping bags but was very thin mattress and still cold. I suggested hot chocolate and marsh mellows around the fire would be a good idea. You get woken at 4am to the sound of people chatting and bike roars the sunrise people are arriving. Come out of the tent at 5.30am to find the tent surrounded everyone waiting. Unfortunately the private area they have for camping doesn’t remain private and it should be to make it that much better for those camping our nice viewing bench was taken over by others. Behind you on top of the mountain is around 300 people it’s crazy like being at a football match but fairly organised as every few people have a guide. Some people are there trying to sell beers and jewellery items everyone is trying to make a buck. We had breakfast which isn’t great this too could be so much better who wants a banana sandwich urk ! They are cooking so a nice bacon or sausage roll would have been great. I guess they are selling these separately. There are various outlets selling food and drink. It’s very well organised to be fair at the top nice young girl doing the food and many guides. Surprised out of all the 300 visitors each day only 3 people camped over night but it’s the best experience you get sunset and sunrise and the bike ride up was excellent. The last 10% walk up is very rocky so wear proper climbing shoes long trousers warm coat and two layers plus a hat it’s cold in the night and morning. The guide took lots of pictures and he was delighted we got bikes because he gets to go for free up and down if you pay 300,000 each, each way so worth it. So overall very good if the area was kept private for campers and the food and tent was improved it would get 5 stars for now it’s only 4 stars. The guide was great shame about the initial driver I was hoping we had a different one for the way back to the hotel that’s how poor his driving was and for 2 hours in 3rd gear and his foot on off on off the accelerator making us go back and forth was not great plus the car didn’t have great air con. Anyway off for another adventure so catch you next time. They have a little kitchen place at the top and various outlet for food and drinks. The kitchen has been there 25 years. Wow. Manjesh N2025-08-20Verified Great experience It was a wonderful experience..
