About this tour
Drive a 4WD jeep across Bali's volcanic landscape, starting before dawn to chase the Mt Batur sunrise from above the clouds. You'll traverse hardened lava flows from eruptions a century and more ago, pass through Kintamani's terraced farming communities, then soak in natural hot springs heated by geothermal activity. The full experience runs nine hours and includes breakfast and entry fees.
Highlights
- Pre-dawn jeep ascent to catch sunrise above cloud layer
- Navigate ancient solidified lava fields and crater terrain
- Stop through working farms and local villages en route
- Soak in naturally heated geothermal hot springs
- Included breakfast with views across the volcanic caldera
What to expect
You'll meet your driver well before sunrise for the jeep climb—the vehicle handles steep tracks and rough ground comfortably. As light breaks, you reach a vantage point where the sun emerges above the cloud blanket stretching across the valley below. The jeep then picks its way across the dramatic black lava plains, passing small agricultural plots and stopping to walk through villages where daily life continues among the volcanic rock. After a few hours of driving and exploring, you'll reach the hot springs—natural pools fed by underground heat. A simple breakfast happens mid-morning once you've warmed up and relaxed.
Good to know
Wear layers; it's cold before sunrise, then hot by midday. Bring a torch and sturdy shoes with grip. The route isn't suitable if you have spinal problems, are pregnant, or have heart conditions. Public transport nearby if needed. Souvenirs aren't included.
