Mount Agung ascent adventure

5.00My 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.
good value with great service and nice walk and view

5.00We 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

5.00We 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!!
Amazing tour, amazing people

5.00We 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.

5.00Punctual 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.
Wonderful view from the top of Mount Agung, but lack of professionalism of the guide.

1.00The 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 !

5.00I decided to climb Mount Agung just in time. We also negotiated that it was the day of the event and that only a few people could select it, and they responded. We can only thank the driver putu and Guide Wentang for their late night response and despite the sudden response on the day. Also, I was scared because of the description of Mafia etc. in the Google review of Mount Agung, but I was relieved to know that it was OK when I consulted the driver putu. The way they managed to understand my English, which I can communicate with in English, was great. On the way back, there were almost two hours, but he was just attentive, with pleasant conversations, stopping by when he needed a drink on the way, and worrying when he knew he was going to sleep. It was fun to talk about everything from Balinese culture to family stories. Mr Wentang, our Guide, was the same age but unlike me he had a lot of physical strength and always cared about me behind him. When I didn't know the way at night, I used his Directions to climb smoothly. I was afraid of heights, but I managed to climb through it. In addition, I was using the headlights I had brought with me, but because they were not bright enough, they noticed without saying they were scared, and they changed the headlights to brighter ones so I could climb further smoothly. Also, even though I got breakfast from the driver, he helped me by sharing cup noodles, bananas, etc. when I forgot. Everything was delicious, including the tea. Mount Agung, but it was a great view. It was great. We all got along well with another party. Recommendation for those with some climbing experience. My strength is pretty tight. There are also many places where you can climb rocks at night, so it is difficult for those who can't do that. However, your Guide or driver will help you with any concerns you may have, so please feel free to contact us.
Stunning sunrise, grueling trek not just a hike. Worth it if you are very fit

5.00This 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.
