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.

The hike is challenging but perfectly achievable for most. Jatayu and Lanang knew the route up and down the volcano so very well and looked after us like family both ways. They always matched our pace, making sure all 7 of us stayed together and ensured we were well fed with tasty breakfast and hot drinks at the top of the ascent. They helped us capture photos together at sunrise and were always smiling! Myself and the whole group enjoyed their company massively they are great guys. On the way down we decided to challenge ourselves by jogging down the volcano which was really fun and Jatayu was happy to take part and lead us down at speed. Not necessary at all but we all loved it! It’s an extremely rewarding feeling to get to the top and see the sunrise. I highly recommend it. It’s well worth the early start.The hotel transfer was easy, timely and efficient and they allowed us to stop off on the way to the volcano for supplies. The drivers were again very friendly. Can V2025-05-17Verified Batur Sunrise Trekking great as expected The Trip was exactly as described and well organized. We had a punctual pickup at the hotel and a great guide called Donn, with who we had great conversations with! He also gave us multiple path options according to our preferences and immersed us in the history of Mount Batur and the surrounding villages. Luciana G2025-05-15Verified Great experience Amazing experience, they were very organized, the driver on time, the guide Mangku was amazing, he told us some history and took amazing pictures of us! Julia C2025-05-12Verified Must do Great experience. Amazing guide very helpful to get 8 year old to the top. Amazing views and country area.Half keep and half hike great for kids lingzel2025-05-12Verified Jeep cum hiking sunrise tour We went on a sunrise jeep cum hiking tour. The driver, Wayan, arrived on time and we were one of the first few to reach the starting point for the hike. At first, we were going to just wait for the sunrise from the jeep as it was a cloudy day up at the summit but our guide Carik advised us when it was possible to go on the hike to the mid-point as the skies had cleared up a little. The view was definitely better up there and we almost had the whole place to ourselves. Carik also had a great eye for photography and helped us take really nice shots for our memories which we cherish. Highly recommend this tour, especially with the option of hiking up to the summit! Ron932025-05-08Verified Seamless Experience and Incredible guide - Thanks, Tana We had an amazing experience with Bagus Bali on the Mount Batur Sunrise Trek. Everything was well-organized from start to finish. The pickup from our hotel was smooth.Special kudos to our trek guide, Tana, who truly made the hike memorable. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to — we had a great chat along the way, which really added to the experience. His guidance and good energy kept us motivated and made the early morning trek enjoyable.Watching the sunrise from the top of Mount Batur was absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend Bagus Bali and especially Tana for anyone looking to do this trek! Theresa N2025-05-07Verified A Spectacular experience I have always declined any activities that requirements getting up early but this time I decided to do it just because hiking or doing anything during the day in Bali is just too hot so I can sleep in. Our guide was Jatayu, a very kind and knowledgeable guide. He was patient with my friend who was slower and took his time to go at our pace. To go from the darkness to the morning rise, and the spectacular view was incredible. A simple breakfast made by the local while looking down at the water and village below, while Jatayu share stores of how he grew up there was awesome. The hot springs really topped it off with the beautiful view and great accommodation. Also have to mention, even the driver, Hadi that picked us up was accommodating making it a great experience. Highly recommended.Showing only 4-5 star reviews
