About this experience
Your journey starts with a hike through the scenic trails of Mount Batur in Bali. An active volcano and one of the island's most popular trekking destinations, it is a prime destination to watch sunrise vistas. Enjoy breakfast amid the stunning view, and take a walk around the volcano crater before crossing a hill of lava and black sand. Next, head on over to Tibumana Waterfall, a serene and hidden waterfall that cascades from approximately 20 metres into a clear pool.
