The early start is well worth it. The pickup driver (Jrowi) was ready and waiting for us and our hike guide (Lu) was most excellent! Coffee at the meet-up/base of the mountain, was a nice little wake up. The views from the top were amazing and the breakfast on the mountain of volcano cooked eggs and warmed banana sandwiches really hit the spot. I did end up wearing my light jumper that we packed in the backpack, as you'll feel the cold before dawn after hiking - especially if you sweat like I do. After the decent, our driver took us to a coffee plantation and then Kanto Lampo Waterfalls. You can add or subtract stops if you like (on our next tour we skipped the coffee to shorten the day).

It was a great experience: an exciting jeep ride, beautiful views, a wonderful bath in hot springs and lots of amazing and very creative photos taken by Liong our very helpful guide, who was full of commitment during this trip. We also had a very careful driver with great English skills. Everything was perfectly organised. We really recommend this trip.

Had the time of my life. Its not often that you get to ride up the side of a Volcano, but in Bali you can! Super hospitable people and tour group absolutely loved the experience. I really appreciated the time I spent with Wantoro, I hope that I get to see him again in the future

This tour was amazing, our guide DEKWAN was really caring about us. He made our day absolutely special. The guide on the quad was awesome too, we have a lot of fun thank you very much again !

Did not get to see the sunrise, as mountain was clouded with mist. But climb and descent were very enjoyable.
