Top Bali Outdoor Activities

A great way experience the temple and immerse into the culture with the Keack dance! The food was also 10/10, and was lovely to visit Jimbaran Bay and have dinner on the beach, recommend to include when booking. Out tour guide was lovely and informative!

Amazing experience with guide Komang Raka! He was patient during difficult parts of the hike and adapted to how well my boyfriend and I were doing (slow at some parts, fast at others). Great conversation as well, which made the hike so much more enjoyable! Komang Raka hikes Mt Batur often and knows slightly easier paths, and when “picture time” begins (great for the ‘gram). He knows where to go for pictures at sunrise, and the perfect angles- I have a basic phone and not into photoshoot but he was able to show me how to use some of the settings for better photos!. He also knows how to beat the crowds for going up and down the mountain (huge plus as other people come from the other connected summit at sunrise for pictures). water is brought for you but I recommend bringing a 2nd bottle and reapplying mosquito repellent before descent. Maybe a snack on the way up before breakfast if you get hungry fast or are sweating a lot. Bit more difficult than “moderate” activity going up, but doable if you’re not a “couch potato”. I wore barefoot walking shoes off Amazon, and my boyfriend wore sneakers; we did just fine; no hiking shoes needed. So worth being sore the next day!!! Such an amazing experience!

We're 50+ couple with an adequate for our age fitness level. It was a very challenging and also the most rewarding hike for myself and my wife. People bring their hike jacket as it got chilly up there. People also need comfortable hiking footwear to be able to go over a rough and slippery in the night solid lava. Water and walking stick provided by the tour organization, however we brought our own larger bottles with water. Boiled egg and banana sandwich for a breakfast at the summit was very nice but may be not an appropriate for a people with different diet requirements. People with health issues and poor fitness can hire a motorcycle or 4x4 car for a group and still enjoy some walking experience as final part to the summit require tourists to climb for 10 to 20 minutes. For those, who overestimated their physical abilities and struggle to climb local people were able to organize help and transport them on the motorcycle. The climb up to the Mt Batur took 2.5 hours and around 1.5 hrs descent. One of the best experiences in my life.
