About this tour

The 10-hour outing includes a cooked breakfast at the peak, then optional natural hot spring soak or add-ons like waterfall visits and jungle swings.

What to expect
Meet your guide in the dark for an early pickup—Seminyak residents leave at 1:45 am. At base camp, you'll receive a safety briefing before the climb. The trek takes about an hour and a half of steady uphill walking over volcanic terrain. Conditions are cool at first, warming as you approach the summit. Arrive in time to watch sunrise flood the crater and see the 1949 eruption scars. Eat breakfast while the view unfolds. If you've booked the hot spring option, you'll head there next to soak in naturally heated pools. The full experience wraps by mid-morning.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required; not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spine injuries, or poor cardiovascular health. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring layers—it's cold at the top. Some hotel pickups from outer areas incur extra fees; confirm transport inclusion when booking. The jeep-only sunrise option excludes the hike and hot spring.
