Mount Batur by jeep (sunrise)
A ~3:00 start, sunrise at the best viewpoint (a panorama of Abang and Batur, coffee at a warung), a jeep ride to Lava Point (solidified lava) and the Batur Natural Hot Springs — all in one trip.
Itinerary
We pick you up from your hotel / villa in a comfortable car at 3 a.m. (depending on your address). The drive to Batur takes 2.5–3 hours.
By sunrise we reach the very best viewpoint (in the photo), with an incredible panorama of Mount Abang and the Batur volcano, where you can have a coffee at a local warung and enjoy the truly incredible sight of the sun rising over Batur.
Next we switch to jeeps and drive to otherworldly lava landscapes where an eruption once took place (Lava Point). The area is now covered in solidified black lava, and locals make souvenirs for visitors from pieces of it.
After the volcano it’s time to relax in the Batur Natural Hot Springs, rich in healthy minerals. There is a beautiful view of Lake Batur, sacred to the Balinese, and of the volcano itself.
To finish the tour we have lunch at one of Kintamani’s famous restaurants, with a panoramic view over the whole caldera and Lake Batur.

FAQ
What language will the guide speak?
Each tour card shows its format: “With a guide” means a Russian-speaking guide, “With a driver” means an English-speaking driver-guide, and “Private” means an itinerary just for you. Tours are led in English by our driver-guides; please mention any language preferences in your request.
What if it rains?
Tropical rain on the islands doesn’t last long. If the weather makes a route unsafe (sea, volcano, flight), we move it to another day or refund your deposit.
Can I reschedule or cancel a tour?
Yes. Free rescheduling up to 24 hours before the start. Flights and yachts have stricter terms: they are paid in advance, and we’ll give you the deadlines when we confirm.
How do I pay?
Prices are shown in the destination’s currency; you pay in US dollars or euros.
