About this tour
Start before dawn to climb Mount Batur with a private guide, reaching the 1,717-metre summit in time for sunrise over Bali's volcanic landscape. After a simple breakfast at the peak, descend and transition straight into 1.5 hours of river tubing through jungle terrain. The full day wraps with lunch and hotel drop-off. Nine to ten hours total, combining two distinct Bali activities in one outing.

What to expect
Your driver collects you at 1:30 AM for the drive to Batur's trailhead. The two-hour uphill walk follows marked paths, mostly steep sections lit by torchlight with your guide setting the pace. You'll reach the crater rim around 6:30 AM as light breaks. After catching your breath and eating bread, banana, and eggs at altitude, the descent takes roughly 90 minutes. A short drive then delivers you to the river. Tubing involves navigating mild rapids in an inflatable tube with an instructor nearby—expect splashes, wet clothes, and straightforward fun rather than technical paddling. You'll shower, change, eat lunch, then head back to your hotel by mid-afternoon.
