All Include: Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking Natural Hot Springs

About this tour

Climb Mount Batur in darkness to catch the summit sunrise, then soak in naturally heated mineral pools. This 10-hour Bali trek pairs the physical challenge of reaching 1,717 metres with the reward of geothermal hot springs below. Your English-speaking guide leads the way, sharing local knowledge as you descend, before you wade into steaming pools warmed by the earth's interior. Hotel transfers and breakfast included.

Highlights

• Summit sunrise from Mount Batur's peak
• Eggs and bananas cooked in volcanic sand
• Naturally heated mineral pools with two distinct tubs
• English-speaking local guide throughout
• Descent with views across Kintamani region

What to expect

You'll start before dawn, trekking uphill for roughly 1.5 hours with your guide. The path is steep but manageable; headtorches help. At the summit, watch the sky lighten and eat a simple breakfast—eggs buried in hot sand, roasted bananas—whilst taking in the view. The descent takes another hour, slower and steadier. By mid-morning you'll reach the hot springs: two pools fed by geothermal water, mineral-rich and genuinely hot. Wade in to ease sore legs, or swim and canoe if you prefer. Plan on 90 minutes here before the return journey to your hotel.

Good to know

Bring trekking shoes and a torch. The climb is moderate but sustained; poor fitness or cardiovascular issues may struggle. Pregnant travellers and those with spinal problems should skip this. Lunch isn't covered—eat beforehand or pack snacks. Mineral water provided; wear layers as sunrise is cool.
