Experience the Volcano Without the Trek

Embark on an unforgettable off-road adventure to witness Bali's most iconic sunrise without the physical exhaustion of hiking. Our curated Mount Batur Jeep Tours take you through the darkness of Kintamani's pine forests and rugged lava trails in a classic 4WD vehicle. You'll ascend to an exclusive sunrise viewpoint at 1,365 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy a light breakfast atop your jeep while the sun paints the sky over Lake Batur and Mount Agung. Following the sunrise, explore the otherworldly Black Lava fields formed by the 1963 eruption, creating a stark and beautiful contrast against the lush green landscape. This is the perfect way to experience the magic of Mount Batur for families, couples, and travelers seeking comfort alongside adventure.

Highlight of our Bali trip!

We didn't want to wake up at 2am to hike, so the jeep tour was perfect. Our driver Wayan was amazing and took the best photos of us on the jeep roof. The sunrise was magical and the breakfast was a nice touch. Highly recommend!

Great alternative to trekking

I've hiked Batur before, but the jeep experience is totally different and fun. The ride up through the forest in the dark is an adventure in itself. The black lava fields are incredible for photography. Worth every cent.

Beautiful views, bumpy ride

The scenery is absolutely stunning. Be prepared for a very bumpy ride on the lava rocks, but it is safe. The driver was very skilled. It was quite cold at the top, so bring a jacket.

Romantic and easy

Booked this for our honeymoon. It was so romantic watching the sun come up over the clouds without being sweaty and tired from hiking. The hot springs afterwards were the perfect way to end the morning.

Best photos ever

If you want Instagram-worthy shots, this is it. The drivers know exactly where to park and how to take the best photos. The view of Mount Agung is breathtaking. A must-do in Bali.

Good organization

Pickup was on time, driver spoke good English. The sunrise was a bit cloudy but the experience was still great. The black lava area is very unique geologically.

Fun for the whole family

Took my parents (60s) and kids (8 & 10). Everyone loved the jeep ride! It was safe and manageable for the seniors since there was no walking. Great family memory.

Unreal experience

The stars before sunrise were insane! I've never seen so many. The jeep tour allows you to see the volcano from a different perspective. Don't hesitate to book this.
