About this tour
Chase sunrise or sunset across Mount Batur's volcanic slopes in a rugged jeep, navigating black lava fields and dramatic ridge lines before soaking tired muscles in natural hot springs fed by the mountain's geothermal energy. This five-hour Kintamani experience pairs high-altitude driving with geological theatre and thermal bathing—a straightforward way to experience one of Bali's most active volcanoes without technical climbing.

What to expect
You'll be collected and driven to the foothills before boarding the Jeep for a bouncy climb through cooler air as light breaks. The vehicle tackles steep, rocky tracks across the lava plateau, with brief stops for photos and orientation. Once you've absorbed the volcanic landscape and views across the caldera, you'll descend to the hot springs—natural pools at varying temperatures where you can rinse off dust and soak. Expect bumpy terrain, altitude exposure, and chilly mornings if choosing sunrise.
Good to know
Wear layers and bring a dry change of clothes for the springs. Pickups from Denpasar, Kuta, Nusa Dua or Ubud incur extra charges. Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues, or serious cardiovascular concerns. Infants must sit on laps.
