Real experiences from real travelers
The sunrise hike was challenging but absolutely worth it. Our guide Wayan was so patient and made us breakfast at the top. The hot springs afterwards were heaven!
We opted for the Jeep tour because we aren't big hikers. Best decision ever! Standing on the jeep roof for sunrise was epic, and the black lava fields are otherworldly.
The pickup was very early (1:45 AM from Seminyak), but sleeping in the van helped. The view is unbeatable. Make sure to bring a warm jacket, it's freezing at the top!
Everything ran smoothly. Driver was on time, guide spoke good English. The hot springs at Toya Devasya were clean and relaxing. Highly recommended.
I was worried about the fitness level, but the guide paced it well. It took us about 1.5 hours up. The monkey encounters at the crater rim were a fun bonus!
The hike is crowded but the atmosphere is festive. The breakfast cooked in volcanic steam is a unique touch. Loved the coffee plantation stop on the way back.
Took the jeep tour with my parents and kids. Everyone loved it. No walking required to see the sunrise. The driver was excellent and took great photos for us.
Booked as a solo traveler and joined a small group. Made great friends. The hot springs are the perfect way to end the morning. Don't skip them!
