Tours
Watch the sunrise from the summit of an active volcano, eat breakfast cooked by volcanic steam, then unwind in natural hot springs - all in the same morning. Mount Batur is a 45-minute beginner-friendly trek from the base, making this one of the most achievable and rewarding adventures in Bali.
Mount Batur (1,717m) is an active stratovolcano on the rim of a vast ancient caldera - and standing on its summit at dawn, watching the light spread over Lake Batur and the distant peaks of Rinjani and Agung, is something most people describe as genuinely life-changing. The trek itself is manageable for most reasonably fit adults: around 45 minutes to 1 hour uphill on a well-worn volcanic path, with your guide to pace and encourage you. At the top, a breakfast of bananas, chocolate-drizzled toast, and eggs is cooked directly in volcanic steam vents - possibly the most memorable breakfast you'll ever eat. After the descent, the morning ends at natural hot springs fed by the mountain itself, the perfect antidote for any tired legs.

Tours
Skip the trail and ride in style. Our private 4WD jeep carries you through ancient lava fields to the best sunrise viewpoint on Mount Batur - no trekking required, no crowds, just you and the volcano.
Leave the tourist trail behind and head north. Lovina's calm black-sand shores are home to hundreds of wild spinner dolphins, and the early-morning boat ride to meet them - as the sun rises over the Bali Sea - is genuinely magical.
This is the quintessential Ubud day - visiting the iconic rice terraces, a holy spring temple, a traditional coffee plantation, and finishing with an unforgettable swing above a lush tropical valley. It's the tour that makes people fall in love with Bali all over again.
