Mount Batur Sunrise Hiking (Without Hotel Transfer)

If you’ve got your own car and love the idea of a peaceful sunrise hike without the usual crowd, this private Mount Batur sunrise hiking is made for you. You’ll meet your guide at the base of the mountain and begin the climb in the early hours – no waiting for group pick-ups, no rushing. Just a quiet, steady hike to catch Bali’s most epic sunrise.

What sets this apart is the personal touch – it’s just you and your guide, moving at your own pace. The trail is lit by torches and stars, and once you reach the top, you’ll enjoy a simple hot breakfast and a cup of coffee while the sun rises over the volcano and Lake Batur. Feels pretty surreal.

This is perfect for travellers who’ve rented their own car or scooter, want a more flexible start, and prefer a quiet, tailored experience over a big group tour. If you're a confident early-morning driver and like hiking off the beaten path, this one's for you.

What to Expect

• Private Mt Batur sunrise hike – just you and your guide
• Stunning views of the crater, Lake Batur, and sunrise above the clouds
• Warm reakfast and hot coffee served at the summit

The trail is a mix of dirt paths and volcanic rock, with steady elevation gain. Expect a moderately challenging trek, suitable for most active travellers. Your guide will support you throughout, so you’ll never feel rushed.
