Mount Batur was a complicated experience. The hike was pretty exhausting. It had a lot of steep rocky inclines that I was not prepared for. It started raining right before we got to the top. It was also very windy, so be prepared. I can see how the sunrise would be spectacular here but it was so cloudy that we didn’t see much. The guides cook a breakfast that is simple but very satisfying. On the way down the terrain was very slippery and I ended up falling and spraining my ankle. The guides were very sweet and made sure it wasn’t broken and put a cream to help with the pain. Our driver, Nata, was called to pick us up at the closest check point. I finally made it down, with lots of help from the guide. The Natural Hot springs came next. That was a nice experience. The temperatures seem to vary by pools, so I suggest visiting different pools. Our driver made up our Monkey Forest trip from the previous day, but because of my injury, he asked if a wheelchair was accessible for me to use, and pushed me the whole time. Nata goes above and beyond, and is the nicest person. Next time I’m in Bali, I will not be doing the hike again, but I’ll definitely book with Nata at hirebalidriver.com.

Sakha my driver drove the car very safely while we were still a little sleepy so we could rest on the way to the mountain. Sakha also provides a lot of information with what we should bring. My guide romance was also very friendly and helpful to take a good picture. Thank you for the excellent service

BENIK IS AWESOME!!! He made this trip so enjoyable for us and was so genuinely nice to my girlfriend and I. It’s safe to say he made the trip! Also, the activities were a blast! The mountain hike is definitely challenging but the sunrise and views are worth every step. The hot springs are the best way to follow a tough hike. We just relaxed in the perfectly warm water, took in the beautiful views and some well earned breakfast! (We also had a breakfast at the top of the hill, which was provided with the trip.) And to top it all off we got a tour of a coffee plantation and got to try the best coffee in the world, Luwak!! I’m very satisfied and so well you. Ask for BENIK!
