Mount Batur Sunset Hike

Prefer a quieter, cooler alternative to the classic sunrise trek up Mount Batur? This sunset hike is a brilliant option. You’ll dodge the early morning wake-up call, skip the bigger crowds, and still get all the dramatic views — but with a gentler light and a more relaxed vibe. What makes this even more special? You’ll enjoy a meal cooked using natural volcanic steam from the crater itself. How cool is that?

Unlike the sunrise hikes that can feel a bit rushed (and very crowded), this twilight experience gives you space to breathe, chat with your guide, and truly take in the scenery. It’s great for those who want an active adventure but prefer something more laid-back and unique. Whether you're a solo traveller, a laid-back adventurer, or just someone who doesn't fancy waking up at 2am — this experience is for you.

You’ll also have the option to visit a local coffee plantation on the way back — a lovely bonus if you’re curious about Bali’s coffee culture and want to try some fresh brews straight from the source.
