Stars overhead. The boat gliding silently.

The first light touching the mountains.

“Can I witness Bali’s sunrise without the crowds?”

Yes. This is not your average morning.

Cross Batur Lake in the quiet hours, trek 40 minutes to a hidden viewpoint, and watch Mount Batur glow with the day’s first light over a warm Balinese breakfast. Then, drift to an ancient lakeside cemetery where sacred traditions remain unchanged for centuries.

Experience Highlights

From Mist to Memory: Bali’s Sunrise Secrets

Your journey begins in the stillness of the night in Kintamani, where your private guide welcomes you between 2:00 and 3:00 AM. A short drive brings you to Batur Lake, calm and silent under the stars.

By 4:00 AM, you’re gliding across the water by boat, the cool air brushing your face. At the far shore, the trail begins — a gentle 40-minute trek through jungle paths that open to one of Bali’s most breathtaking sunrise views.

At the summit, as dawn spills over Mount Batur, you’ll enjoy a warm Balinese breakfast in the open air. The return walk brings you back to the lake, where your boat carries you to an ancient Balinese cemetery — a place of rare and sacred tradition.

By late morning, you’re back at the starting point, carrying with you a sunrise you’ll never forget.

Flora organised the perfect girls trip for us. From the car picking us up from the airport to the villa, where our scooter and even sim card were waiting for us in a gorgeous villa. The itinerary, the restaurant, sight seeing, loved everything. Simply the best.

I used baliwithflow services for my second and third trip to Bali as I wanted to have different experiences than the tourist-crowded areas. The team provided clear guidance, very punctual drivers and exceptional experiences. They have a lifetime customer here.

We used Baliwithflow to organize a family trip to Bali and it was perfect from beginning to end; Flora designed a truly tailor-made trip, off the beaten tracks with original experiences. It was very easy to contact Flora before and during the stay. Without hesitation we recommend Baliwithflow !
