Full description
This is a 5-hour experience from Ubud, built around Jeep / SUV, Mount Batur View Point and Black Lava. It is run by Aruna Destination, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Mount Batur is an active volcano of 1,717 metres standing inside a much older caldera, with Lake Batur on the floor of it. Sunrise treks start from Toya Bungkah on the lake shore, climb for around two hours on volcanic sand and loose rock, and aim to be on the rim by about 5:30, since the sun comes up between 6:00 and 6:30 depending on the month, behind the cone of Mount Agung to the east. The summit before dawn is regularly 8 to 12°C with wind, so a real warm layer matters more than anything else you pack. Trekking is run through the local village association, which is why every tour, ours included, comes with a guide, and most mornings end at the hot springs on the lake shore. Jeep and ATV versions drive to a viewpoint on the flank of the volcano for the same sunrise and skip the climb, which is the right choice for knees, small children and anyone who did not sleep. In the wet season, November to March, the top is often inside cloud at dawn and there is no refund for weather.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, 2 bottles of mineral water per person, Simple breakfast at the top of the Jeep, Mount Batur Entry Ticket and Kintamani entry ticket. It does not cover Lunch, Personal Expense and Gratitudes, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
Raka was an excellent guide during our jeep tour to Mount Batur! Really recommend him!
Raka was an amazing driver. He took great pictures of me and made sure I was well taken care of on the Mountain. I had an incredible experience especially as I did it solo. 10/10 would recommend! Tequila my driver was also the absolute best! Amazing experience.
Fue una experiencia inolvidable. La recogida en el hotel puntual y el chico muy servicial. Al llegar al punto de quedada para montarnos en el 4x4 no recibió Jro, un driver joven, pero se defendía muy bien en la conducción. Estuvo muy atento, no paró de hacernos fotografía y vídeos. Nos sirvieron un desayuno en el techo del Jeep mientras veíamos el amanecer. Después nos llevaron a ver la lava ya solidificada del volcan. Recomendaría esta experiencia a todo el mundo. La única excepción es que vimos a otros conductores con más preparativos para fotografía como linternas, trípodes, etc...
We had an amazing experience with our driver Mardi! He was incredibly kind, friendly and helpful throughout the whole day. He listened to all of our wishes and made sure we could see and do everything we wanted. Mardi was always patient, reliable and had such a warm and positive attitude. He made us feel comfortable and really helped make our trip even more special. We are very grateful for his excellent service and would definitely recommend Mardi to anyone visiting Bali! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An unforgettable experience! We did the Mount Batur sunrise Jeep tour followed by the Black Lava fields, and it was worth every second. A huge thank you to our driver Nanang he was so kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the entire trip. He took great care of us and made the whole morning super fun. 10/10 highly recommend to do it
We had an absolutely amazing time on our Batur jeep tour! Our young drivers were so friendly, positive, and polite from start to finish. Everything went smoothly without a single issue. They took incredible photos for us, and we are leaving with so many warm and wonderful memories. Huge thanks to the team for their hard work and great attitude — they really did an outstanding job! Highly recommended to everyone! 🙌✨ Thank you for an amazing tour, Mawe and Mardi!
Absolutely amazing experience! Our guide, Mawe, was fantastic. He took loads of great photos for us and really made the whole experience special. He played music in the jeep and even sang along with us, which made it so much fun. I would 100% book this again. Thank you, Mawe, for making it so memorable!
Absolutely loved this experience! The jeep ride up Mount Batur was exciting, and watching the sunrise from the mountain was definitely the highlight of our Bali trip. Our driver was friendly, helpful, and also took some great photos for us. Everything was well organized and we never felt rushed. Highly recommend this experience if you want to enjoy Mount Batur without doing the full hike!
Rudy très bon moniteur à était bien veillant super agréable gentil et souriant
Wayan and rudi tout était parfait, à disposition pour les photos, il a été vraiment à l’écoute Nous avons passé un bon moment à accompagné de musique pour nous mettre à l’aise.
One of the must-do activities in Bali! The guide was so friendly and explained everything really well. The views of Mount Batur were amazing, and relaxing in the natural hot springs afterward was the perfect way to end the trip. Loved it!
