Ride the Volcano: The Ultimate Bali ATV Experience

Escape the beaches and discover the rugged heart of Bali with a Mount Batur ATV tour. This isn't your standard jungle ride; you will be navigating the alien-like terrain of the Geopark's black lava fields, remnants of the massive 1963 eruption. The contrast between the stark black basalt rocks and the vibrant green of the surrounding Kintamani forests creates a visual spectacle unlike anywhere else on the island. Whether you choose a sunrise ride to catch the morning glow over the caldera or a daytime adrenaline rush, these tours offer a perfect blend of extreme adventure and breathtaking sightseeing. Suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, the tracks wind through pine forests, local villages, and the iconic black sand dunes at the volcano's foot.

Highlight of our Bali trip!

The black lava fields are absolutely out of this world. It felt like driving on the moon! Our guides, Wayan and Ketut, were hilarious and kept us safe. The bikes were powerful and well-maintained. Don't hesitate to book this!

Adrenaline junkie's dream

I've done ATV tours in Mexico and Dubai, but this terrain is unique. The mix of forest trails and open lava rock is perfect. We did the combo with the sunrise jeep and it was a long day but totally worth it. The lunch provided was surprisingly good too.

Great fun, very dusty

Super fun experience! Just be warned, you will get dirty. They give you boots, but wear clothes you don't care about. The hot springs afterwards were a lifesaver to wash off the dust. A must-do in Kintamani.

Safe for families

Took my 14-year-old son and he rode his own bike while I took my 7-year-old tandem. The guides were very patient with the kids. The scenery is breathtaking. Pickup from Seminyak was on time and comfortable.

Beautiful scenery

The contrast between the black rocks and green trees is beautiful. The ride is about 2 hours. It is bumpy but fun. I recommend the morning slot because the mountain view is clearer.

Thrilling ride

A bit scary at first on the rocks, but you get used to it. The guides take great photos for you. Good value for money compared to other tours.

Unforgettable

I was nervous as a first-time rider but the automatic bikes are easy to use. The view of the lake from the lava field is stunning. 10/10 would recommend.
