Bali: Mount Batur Sunrise Hike and Natural Hot Spring
An epic day as you climb Mount Agung, visit a holy temple and plunge into hot springs
Escape the crowds with an exclusive trail up Bali's iconic Mount Batur volcano for an unforgettable sunrise trek on one of the most popular Bali day tours.
Starting in the wee hours before dawn, you'll hike uphill through lush jungle scenery lit by the glow of your flashlight. Reach the summit in time to watch the morning sun slowly illuminate Bali's volcanic landscape as breakfast is served. After soaking up the views, descend and unwind in the mineral-rich hot springs tucked beside a caldera lake.
By the way, this tour is the perfect companion to pair with the Full-Day Instagram Highlights Tour day tour or compare with this other Sunrise Mount Batur Hike with Breakfast day tour (without the hot springs stop).
