Join us for a sunrise trek to the summit of Mt.Batur (1717 meters) and experience the awesome beauty of an active volcano. Trekking in the cool, early morning darkness (torches, hiking sticks and wet weather gear supplied, if needed), we guide you on the one to two hour ascent up a 5km-long slope (challenging, but not too difficult if you go at a gentle pace) to arrive in time to witness a glorious sunrise and experience the stunning morning views of the surrounding crater and lake. Various steam vents of a live volcano adds to the excitement of the sunrise. By popular demand, we have included a quick swim in the hot-springs-fed pools by Lake Batur after the trek before you enjoy a sumptuous Indonesia Buffet Breakfast at Amora Restaurant, Kintamani. The tour includes pick up & drop off, snacks along the way, buffet breakfast, coffee break, all equipment, guides and support team.
