Mount Agung Sunrise Trekking Tour

Juna the guide was really good, he had well spoken English and funny. We hit the track fast and had time up our sleeve so he got us in a hidden spot out of the wind with a fire to keep warm for some time made us a coffee Legend

Me and my mate did the Mount Agung sunrise trek from Besakih and Gede was our guide. He was friendly and knew the route well. The views at the top were incredible, and watching the sunrise made the early start totally worth it. Would recommend.

My son went solo on the Mt Agung sunrise private tour via the Besakih route. He had an unforgettable experience, dug deep and made it to the summit, then was delivered back to our Villa safe and sound. I cant thank Bali Trekking Tour enough!

Great trekking company, matched me with Tarik, an excellent guide. We made it in plenty of time for the most beautiful sunrise at the summit with snacks, campfire, and water along the way. 10/10!!

Really good experience, tougher than I expected. It was a grind from top to bottom, ruthless incline that doesn’t stop till you hit the top. Took about 12hrs with plenty of breaking. We made good progress up and chilled for about 1.5hrs at Basecamp/Checkpoint 5 around a fire before making the last 1-1.5hr push to the top. Our Guide Boodie was a good dude and made the experience enjoyable, he even collected a large bag of plastic bottles on the way down that locals had left as it was a celebration holiday and a lot of young Balinese kids were camping and hike the same day we did, encouraging the kids to clean up after themselves along the way.

My partner and I travelled to the summit with our wonderful guide Juna. It was a challenging climb but the assistance of Juna allowed us to pace ourselves whilst maintaining a safe footing. Summiting in the dark made the sunrise even more spectacular on gazing over our ascent path. A truly wonderful experience and than you.

We booked direct to the 'Sunrise Trekking' website. A friendly driver with very good english picked us up and drove us to the Besakih Trailhead where local Mountain Guides also with good english took over. We got a free cup of tea, bottle of drinking water and a big bag of snacks. We then walked pretty much all nite to the top with the experienced guide knowing good places for breaks and how to pace ourselves to arrive for sunrise. We took the longer trek from Besakih to the very top for 360 views but be prepared for a very long and demanding trek. Can also see into the crater and much of the same view from the shorter Agung trailhead. If just wanting a Bali Volcano experience then the much shorter and easier Mount Batur Trek is an enjoyable option.

Super experience for the Trekking on Mount Agung! Kadek our driver was super punctual to broing us to the start of the trail. And our guide took the time on the way down to help us followers the best path.

We had the best experience with these guys!! We were a bit late to book the trekking to mount Agung but they reacted very clear and fast through whatsapp which made it possible for us to do the trekking the same day. We immediatly got all the information we needed and thats how we like it. Our driver Kadek picked us up and was realy friendly and open for a conversation. We met our guide Kaki and he was amazing!! In the beginning he put up a fast pace since we started a bit late but after an hour (when he knew we had plenty of time to make it before sunrise) he slowed down and explained we could take it easy. We made plenty of stops to rest and we reached the summit just before sunrise (Kaki paced it perfectly so you don't have to stand to long on the cold summit). He had a lot of knowledge about the area and was super funny. On the way down he helped where needed and if he noticed you were a bit less confident on certain sections, he stayed with you and explained how to do it as safe as possible. All in all we couldn't ask for a better day and realy enjoyed it!!

What an amazing tour run by amazing people. So friendly and l couldn’t speak highly enough about them. Highly recommend.

We went for Mt. Agung climbing and all the way all 5 stars. Booked in the morning for the same night and it worked. Both the driver (forgot the name :( ) and the guide (Rudy) were amazing. Rudy was so much fun and friendly and caring. He took some incredible photos of us at the summit. Definitely would recommended this agency and we might use their services in the future.

Punctual driver (his name is putu), gives good advice and explanations to prepare for the ascent of Mount Agung. Very respectful towards his client. 100% recommended driver! My guide's name was Leni! She's concerned about her client's comfort, ensures optimum safety both during the ascent and descent, and takes the time to take photos for you at the summit.

The views at the top of Mount Agung was wonderful, and it is really worth going up there. But I am very disappointed of my experience with our Bali Trekking Tour guide. The guide didn't really care about us, he was only interrested for being with the other guides. As we are in good shape and able to follow without complaining, he rushed to join his friends : we had to hurry up and we didn't even have time to stop for drinking or snack if we needed. While approaching the summit, they starting shouting to kidd with the guides who were lower, during one hour they didn't stop to repeat constantly the same joke, and personnaly, I find it disturbing in the mountain. I would have prefer to enjoy the peaceful nature... While going down, our guide and 2 friends of him joined up and were racing and taking videos of themselves running down. We and the other customers were left alone most of the time. It is not professionnal, and doesn't fit to the expensive price we paid for this tour !

This was an amazing and once in a lifetime trek, but I’ll warn you that unless you are very fit, like you bike miles a week, trek yearly, go backpacking, or hike trails with at least 2k ft elevation gain multiple times a year this hike will be grueling and almost impossible. If you do those things you will have a good challenge but get to the top in time. TLDR - took 9 hours, 4 up and 4 down, 1 hour at the peak and we made it to the top at 5:30am. Was something like 3k ft of elevation gain, air is super thin so take deep breaths. Wear warm clothes in layers so you can take them off on the way down when the sun is out. It’s cold and windy so dress an accordingly. More than half the ppl who sign up give up, can’t make it up because it’s too physically demanding, or don’t make it in time for sunrise but still get an amazing view. I saw ppl in skimpy little work out shorts climbing up the mountain, they didn’t make it in time for sunrise and were devastated and cold. Our driver Putu was very communicative on what’s app, he confirmed pick up time and where 2 days before. He got to us 10 min early and let us sleep in the van for the 1.5 hour drive to the Pasar temple starting point at 11:30pm at night. Then we met our guide Lennie! She is very sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable of the mountain and area. She is easily the strongest women and person I have met. She does that entire hike 3 times a week often. She has been climbing is since she was 10! Safety came first, she packs extra water in case you don’t have 2L with you. She was the best guide, highly reccomend , she even helps you down as she led me with her hand as the rock scramble down can feel exhausting after 5 hours of hiking. She is very experienced and speaks English very well. She helped us any time we needed it and reminded us to drink water. Would not have been able to do it without her. Worth every dollar and step. She gives you hot tea and coffee at the bottom and top. We were not very prepared and had just running shoes on, was doable, but harder. Would be better to have trail or hiking shoes cuz this path to the 2nd lower summit is still hard, but is more rocky I hear than the true summit path via beskeith temple. Worst the effort and grueling physical and mental challenge if you are fit enough to attempt it. Otherwise do the shorter sunrise batur hike. If you don’t know what a trek is, or what a rock scramble is, better look it up.

Our adventure began with the challenge of climbing Mount Agung, standing tall at 3,142 meters. We were fortunate to have our guide, Kaki, who was incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the trek. He shared fascinating stories about the area and kept our spirits high! The trek itself is quite demanding physically. We started our ascent in the dark, which added to the excitement. It took us about 5 to 6 hours to reach the summit, but every ounce of effort was worth it. The sunrise we witnessed was absolutely breathtaking—an unforgettable moment that made all the hard work pay off. The descent took another 4 to 5 hours, so it's essential to be well-prepared physically for this adventure. Overall, I can confidently say that Kaki is the best guide on the island, and this experience is one of a kind. Highly recommended for those seeking an incredible challenge and stunning views!

The tour operator was responsive with my queries and driver was on time to pick us at 9pm from our hotel in Ubud. The driver, himself, is an experienced hiker and provided us with information about the climb during the drive to the temple. We started our climb at around 1115pm from the temple and reached PO2 around 250am, with a few short break in between. Our guide, Juna, is great and took great care of my wife especially during the descend. We did not summit Mt Agung and returned back to PO2 as we felt the steep and slippery trail after POS2 (some near the cliff edge) was too tough for us. Hence we waited from around 4am till sunrise at POS2. The guide started fires 🔥 while we were waiting for sunrise. We still had a beautiful sunrise and sea of clouds scenery in the morning.

Hard hike but totally worth it. Driver picked us up at 8 and we started the trek at 11pm. We had an hour of rest and our guide lit a fire, 3/4 of the way up. We headed to the top at 4 am for the sunrise. Spectacular. The trip down in daylight felt like a different trek. You need warm clothes for the top and you need to be in good shape. Worth the sweat!

Excellent tour. Bali Trekking Tour were excellent throughout. Pickup was on time and driver was excellent. The hike itself is physically and mentally challenging - be prepared, I saw several people turn round. The guide was excellent, prioritised safety and set a steady pace. The views at the top are stunning - an amazing sunrise. Take warm clothes for the top.

Was a mission to get up top but was do worth the effort. The views were absolutely incredible, you feel on top of the world several hundred meters above the clouds. On top of that the guides were amazing and made the trek really fun, they supply you well with water, food, torches, hiking gloves and poles. If you are able to make the time to do this hike it is well worth it. No photos as I dont want to spoil the view you get.

The trip up to mount agung is challenging, but it sure is worth the sweat. With Lennie as our guide, we always felt safe. She definitely knows her mountain, made sure we are okay theoughout the hike amd even carried some coffee and breakfast for us up the hill. Kadek our driver was super friendly, had a great humour and made sure we arrived safe back home, even though we were asleep most of the time in the car, it was a pleasure meeting him.

Tought climb up, really worth it! Juna was my guide. Super professional and all went super smoothly with his knowledge of the mountain. We stopped when we needed to stop and we paced rigth to get to the top with enough time to see the first light of day. Highly recommend doing this with Juna. Agus, the driver, was on time and very helpful. Hope you enjoy as much as i did.

Very professional and friendly attitude fome the guide and the driver. Magnificent overall experience, despite the brutal humidity during the initial part of the hike. Would definitely recommend the company if you want to go for an unusual adventure.

Definitely not for the faint hearted. You need to be somewhat physically fit in order to complete the climb. Our driver putu arrived on time. Great communication throughout. It was about a 2 hr drive to the temple route meeting point where we met with our guide, Lennie. Lennie is soft spoken and very attentive. She made sure we were fine along the way, checked in frequently. I highly recommend this tour company , putu and Lennie if you are considering making a climb.

Summited Gunung Agung on a trip arranged by Bali Trekking Tour. The agency was professional and very responsive; managed to find a guide with less than 24h notice. They required a full payment of the fees before the trip, as compared to other operators which will only demand payment after the trip was completed. The local guide Wayan Botak was very experienced, knowledgeable and professional, it was a pleasure to go with him. Their driver Kadek was great, he found a local warung to eat on the way back. He even came back to my hotel the next day to return an umbrella that I had forgotten in the car! As a note to other travelers, do note that Agung is a grueling trek, especially if going all the way to the summit. If climbing the path to the summit from Pasar Aung, make sure that you are experienced and comfortable scrambling up and down on steep craggy terrain even in wet conditions, and read up from online sources, as agencies may fail to represent the difficulty of the trail.

Experience of a lifetime- test of endurance, focus, and agility guided by very skilled and supportive guide. Thank you!

This was one of the most challenging yet expansive experiences of my life! Our guide Ketut was amazing! He couldn’t have been more supportive, patient, and educational. I highly recommend this company and this guide.

We highly recommend using them! I thought I would put in a summary of our trip to help. We were collected the night before by our driver who was very friendly and spoke great English, we then arrived at the start point where we were offered some tea and given food for breakfast (some fruit, biscuits, and a bun not great but we had our own snacks) gloves, ponchos, a head torch and walking poles for our mission. Our guide Kake was great, spoke good English and was funny, we all battled our way up the hill stopping for a small fire to warm up before heading into very exposed terrain. We had amazing weather but was still cold in a thermal and insulated jacket when not moving. We hit the top took some pictures and saw the sunrise. We then headed back down where the guide was super helpful with where to place our feet as the terrain should not be underestimated especially when you’re tired after 6 hours getting to the top. We then got back after a 6 hour descent and the same driver collected us and drove us to our accommodation. This track is very demanding physically and mentally as we started before midnight and finished the hike in just under 12 hours. The terrain is very difficult on the way down with steep slopes either side of the ridge line and very decent gradient rocky track. Over all the track from halfway up is very very hard but definitely doable for the fit and healthy. If very windy at the top definitely dangerous. Our guide was great at helping where he could. The only criticism we have is very little communication from them prior to picking us up as this is quite a big hike.

It was an awesome experience! Beginning with Ady, the best driver at the island! Picked me up right on time at midnight. We started the hike around 2am and summited at 6am to see an incredible sunrise! The weather was perfect and Kaki my guide was very kind to serve me coffee on the summit 🤩 he‘s so funny and very professional! He was prepared for any situation! Luckily we didn’t need to make use of it. The way up took us 4 hours and down around two. We were really fast, normally it would take twice as long. I would definitely do it again!! Thanks bali trekking for this unforgettable adventure!

It was a real adventure getting there and back, but the view from the top was totally worth it. The guide and driver were top class.

This was an amazing experience. We were picked up and dropped off by Agus who arrived early and very friendly and chatty. The views were beautiful however the climb was very difficult. Particularly coming back down during the day. The guide however, Botak, was incredibly helpful and guided us slowly and steadily throughout the whole process. I was very sore afterwards but glad I did it. Would not have been able to do it with the guides, so thank you!

Seeing 2023 out with our biggest climb of the year, the active volcano Mount Agung 3142m! Such an amazing experience, which pushed the boundaries of what we had ever achieved before. 12 hours including breaks from start to finish. Our guide Khaki (60 years old) was fantastic, not only from his knowledge of pacing ourselves, when to stop & rest but was making jokes and engaging the whole hike. The trip down was just as tough with both our knees on the verge of giving out and all the aches & pains setting in. Our only goal was the last checkpoint, never been so happy to see a checkpoint in my life as it meant just 2.2km to go. Physically demanding but you need to try and push through to the top no matter how long it takes

Great experience climbing mount Agung with Bali trekking tour! Putu, our driver, came on time to pick us up, gave us some tips on how to pace ourselves and smoothly drove us to the departure point. Then Leni, our trek guide, took over. Super nice woman from the region, very attentive and motivating! The view from the top is breathtaking -we were lucky with the weather. Loved the whole experience and would definitely recommend these guys for your trek!

We did the tour from Pura Besakih to the top of Mount Agung and it was absolutely worth the price, (due to which we hesitated at first) and a really unique experience! The way up actually requires good physical condition as you will hike 2.000 meters in altitude in 6-7h and you'll feel the air getting thinner towards the top, but since you'll hike with your own guide (about 1-2 pers/guide (probably per booking?) with several groups starting and occasionally waiting for each other at the resting points on the way), you could always slow down your pace a bit and take more breaks! To be fair, we experienced the way down more demanding than the way up, because it is extremely slippery due to dust/ashes or loose stones on the way (often as deep as your shoes), so that you really have to concentrate on every step. However, the view at the top was seriously overwhelming and rewarding and lets you forget any tiredness! Our guide was very friendly and experienced and led us along the best paths, occasionally telling us facts about the volcano or Bali. Also, the pick-up from and drop-off at our homestay was super easy, on time and comfortable due to our driver Agus, who was also already there to drive us home to our bed when we reached the ending point.

I had a great experience with Bali trekking tour thanks to the driver, Putu and the guide, Kaki. The booking and payment was done easily by Whats app. Putu, who was very friendly and helpful, pickup me up from the hotel and brought me safely home after the trekking. The hike was tough but doable with a good stamina and enough breaks. Unfortunately the weather prevented us to go the actual summit. We could still watch the beautiful sunrise from just below. Although not summiting was a bummer it shows Kaki had safety as a priority and he managed to made this a memorable trekking.

The trip was difficult, but sunrise simply amazing. Service was excellent. Driver Agus was at our hotel in time, very friendly and helpfull, his english was very good. Guide Gede aswell: friendly, helpfull, and patient. We recommend.

I can higly recommend the hike for everyone interested in hiking Mount Agung, experienced or intermediate. It was my first long hike and it was hard but with an experienced guide more than manageable. Leni is actually the second hike guide (second just to her mom!) who hiked the Mount Agung ever. I had the highest of trust to her skills. She explained us everything we needed to know and anything we asked about.

Mount Agung was our absolute best experience of Bali. Such a challenging but worthwhile experience. It started with a hotel pickup from Agus who was great - on time, comfortable air conditioned and safe journey. Leni our guide was amazing keeping us safe throughout the walk and constantly helping up, we couldn’t have done it without her. Breakfast at the top with sunrise was one of the best experiences of our life… we will never forget it! Overall an amazing experience with a great company and would 100% recommend for other people.

Really good tour! Driver and guide were really friendly and speak good English! We were in good condition but is a tough hike, especially the downhill on technical terrain - but so worth it!

Super challenging but worth it experience. Make sure you have hiking shoes! We didn’t and it was very tough going down the mountain.

Did the trek to Mount Agung with a guide (Kaki) and I enjoyed it very much. Wonderful views up there!!! Thank you very much!

Wonderful service for both the driver and the tour guide. I would say that this is a very difficult like I’m only do it if you are physically quite fit

what a great experience! Guide and driver where amzing and so friendly! Sunrise and the view was incredibly stunning! Would defenetly come again with them.

That was a challenging but wonderful tour ! It is not for everyone as it is physicaly demanding, and not everyone makes it to the top, but it is really worth to do. Views at the top are incredible (we were blessed with perfect weather). The guide Leni is very friendly and has good sense of humour. Two her dogs have joined the climb and gave an additional very welcomed spice to the tour.

The hike is long but rewarding. Beautiful view over Bali from the top. The guide was very experienced and had a perfect timing for the sunrise. We did not have to wait at the cold summit but did a break with fire and tea before. We would definitely do it again!

Everything from the hotel pickup to the private guide that brought me up and back down was great. My driver Agus was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and my guide Kaki, who has climbed the mountain 3,000 times in the last 30 years, was very alert and focused. It was a long hike but worth the challenge!

The trip was amazing. Our guide Leni is so professional as she manage us well through out the climb. Essentials are provided such as food pack, hiking pole, gloves etc

Great Experience, Great Team!!! Magical sunrise trekking to Mount Agung. Expierence of a lifetime. Worth the money

The hike is very challenging, but it’s worth it. Once you made it to the top, the views were amazing: you can see Mt Batur and Abang, Gn Ranjani in Lombok and also Mt Ijen and Bromo on Java. The views are guaranteed since you’re always above the clouds. When hiking up (approx. 6-7h) you’ll make a few breaks. The guides prepare some food and coffee. We even slept an hour next to a fireplace to gain new powers for the last part of the hike, which is the the most challenging… Hiking down is more difficult since everyone’s really tired. And the routes are slippery and full of small pebbles and you can easily slip and fall 😬. But without bigger breaks we made it down in 4h. Remember to bring a lot of water (3L), some snacks and a change of clothes (incl socks) since you’ll be completely wet when you arrive at the top and it’s pretty cold up there and windy. The organisation via Bali trekking tour was great: I’ve contacted them via WhatsApp to ask if they offer the hike for solo travellers. The communication and the payment was easy. My driver Agus was great. And a Special thanks to my guide Kadek who kept me motivated and helped me make the ascend possible. He lives in the village at the base camp, he showed me his house and farm and was very friendly. I hope he’s passed well since it’s a hell of a job the guides are doing!

I love it. It’s challengable tour. But the driver and guide are all professional. Especially the driver Agus. He’s very careful and kind.
