About this tour
Drive a purpose-built 4x4 up Kintamani's volcanic terrain to Million Dollar Point for sunrise or sunset views, then track the local bat colonies on the way down. This private tour pairs a rugged Australian-spec vehicle with guides who've lived in the region their whole lives. Two-and-a-half hours includes light breakfast at the viewpoint, volcanic spring water, and an LED hat to take home. Weather won't stop you—the vehicle and safety kit rival anything else operating in Bali.

What to expect
Expect a bouncy ride up a steep volcanic slope in a vehicle designed to handle washouts and loose gravel. You'll gain altitude quickly, and the views open up as you reach the ridge. At Million Dollar Point, you'll settle in for breakfast while the light changes—either dawn colours or the last glow before dusk. On the descent, your guide will point out where the bats congregate, particularly in trees near the road. The vehicle is tight inside but sturdy; bring a light jacket for the cooler mountain air. Total time on track is around two-and-a-half hours, though your guide will tailor pace to group preference.
Good to know
Dress in layers—Kintamani sits high enough that mornings and evenings are noticeably cooler than lowland Bali. Bring a camera with a fast lens for sunrise or sunset work. Infants need an adult's lap. If you want to extend the outing, a swim and lunch at Desa Oculus can be added separately. The vehicle seats are secure but narrow; come prepared to sit snug.
