EXCELLENT Based on 2003 reviews Daniscott19932025-05-05Verified Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide Jata Mt Batur sunrise tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide Jata was a well experienced guide who couldn't do enough for us. He was very knowledgeable when we asked questions and maintained a good walking pace for us to get up and down safely. We were provided with water and hiking poles and a lovely breakfast at the top. Jata even made me a makeshift phone prop so I could record the sunrise, and took photos of us at the top. We recommend this tour to anyone thinking about doing it. Archangela Josephine2025-05-04Verified 10/10 would come back!! My sister and I did a sunrise hike experience at My Batur with Bli Tana and he did a fantastic job! He consistently checked in on us to make sure we were doing fine. We felt really well taken care of. He also knows where the best view points were where the crowds weren’t at and took absolutely stunning pictures. 10/10 would recommend going with Bli Tana and definitely would go back here. Tash P2025-05-04Verified Perfect private sunrise tour We organised a private tour for a group of friends for a morning birthday hike! It was sensational. Our guides were amazing and got to the top in perfect timing for the best views of the sunrise. The hike is moderately challenging if you have not hiker before absolutely worth it. Our villa pick up was easy and seamless. Would recommend David v2025-05-03Verified Very nice and well thought out. The whole trip was amazing. Lanang was my private guide, it honestly felt more like i was chilling with a friend while walking rather than hiking up a mountain. He made the trip thrice as good as it could have been (i think) Tim E2025-05-02Verified Incredible experience with excellent guide Donn! We can only recommend the sunrise tour to Mount Batur from Bagus Bali Sunrise Tour. The driver picked us up right at our accommodation on time and took us well to the starting point on Mount Batur.Our private guide Donn has already been waiting on site. He welcomed us warmly, made a bit of small talk and we felt comfortable from the beginning and got along well with him. He was also very attentive throughout the tour and we were able to talk well together. We have read in reviews from other providers in part that the guides just run at it without taking into account and you have to make sure that you get behind. That wasn't the case with Donn at all. He always paid attention and asked if we needed a break and asked again and again if everything was okay.When we arrived at the summit a cozy bench awaited us to sit on and Donn immediately made us hot chocolate and coffee. While he made us a really delicious breakfast consisting of banana toasts and hard boiled eggs, we could watch the coming dawn. The view really became more and more beautiful and breathtaking.When the sun had risen, Donn showed us the steam coming out of the volcano and the warm spots to warm us up a bit.Then we went down the mountain again. On the occasion we were able to talk to Donn and learn a lot about him and his culture. Along the way he also showed us a lot and explained a lot to us.Arriving at the parking lot again we unfortunately had to say goodbye. The driver then took us back to our accommodation. All in all, it was a really nice and incredible experience that we can recommend to anyone. Jana B2025-05-01Verified Stunning Batur views Climbing Mount Batur at sunrise was an unforgettable experience! The early morning hike was absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views at the top. Watching the sun rise over the mountains and lake was simply magical. Our guide, Omar, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the whole journey even more enjoyable. He kept the group motivated and shared interesting stories along the way. The trail was well-organized, and we felt safe the entire time. We hike a lot hence it was not that challenging, but the reward at the summit made it all worthwhile. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Bali! Antonia2025-04-30Verified Great experience! I highly recommend this Sunrise Hike Tour—it was an unforgettable experience! We stayed in the Kintamani area and were picked up at 3am, which made the early start a bit easier compared to longer transfer times from other areas.Our guide, Donn, was absolutely fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the hike. He shared interesting insights along the way and was very thoughtful with our needs (pace, breaks, etc.)Be prepared for the cold while waiting for the sunrise—temperatures can drop significantly before dawn, so wearing warm layers is essential.Another great aspect was the option to choose between different routes depending on your fitness level. Whether you’re looking for a more relaxed walk or a steeper challenge, there’s something for everyone.All in all, a well-organized and breathtaking experience. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area! Olivia M2025-04-30Verified Beautiful Private Sunrise Hike Highly recommend booking this tour! Pickup from our resort was super seamless and the drive went by fast. When we got to the base of the mountain, we met with our wonderful guide Tana. He provided us with waters, headlamps, and once we got to the top he made us coffees and provided some food. He took great photos for us, brought us down a less populated trail, and was a great conversationalist. We had so much fun, thank you for everything!! kathryn h2025-04-30Verified Highly recommend! Service was great and super easy to book online. There was a great level of communication with the company and also our driver. Our tour guide Tana was amazing, super friendly, helpful and a great tour guide. He went at our pace and couldn’t recommend enough! We had the best experience! Lasse L2025-04-30Verified Big recommendation! We had an incredible start to the day! The hike, which took about two hours in the early morning darkness, led us to a magical spot where we enjoyed breakfast with coffee or tea—and then witnessed a breathtaking sunrise. The location is absolutely stunning, and the view was unforgettable.Our guide, Donn, did a fantastic job leading us safely up and down the trail. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to talk to. His excellent English made it easy to understand the surroundings and learn more about the local culture. I highly recommend requesting Donn if you’re planning to do this hike!Just a tip—make sure to bring warm clothes for the time after the hike and before the sun is fully up.Showing only 4-5 star reviews
