Mount Batur trekking and Jeep tour

This itinerary is fully customizable to suit your preferences and interests.

Your day starts in the early hours with a pre-dawn pickup from your hotel by your private driver. You’ll be driven to the base of Mount Batur, where a licensed local guide will brief you before beginning the trek.

Option 1: Sunrise Trekking

Begin your ascent under the stars, hiking by flashlight through volcanic terrain. After approximately two hours, you’ll reach the summit in time to witness the spectacular sunrise over Bali’s eastern landscape. Enjoy a light breakfast with hot coffee or tea, surrounded by dramatic views.

Afterward, descend the mountain and switch to a 4WD Jeep for a ride across the Black Lava and Black Sand fields, exploring the volcanic formations and rugged beauty of Batur’s caldera.

Your adventure begins with an early morning hotel pickup, with timing adjusted depending on your location. After arriving at the starting point near Mount Batur, you’ll hop into a classic 4WD Jeep and begin your ascent in the cool pre-dawn air.

As you drive up the rugged volcanic terrain, the anticipation builds. Once at the sunrise viewpoint, you’ll settle in to watch the first light break over Mount Batur, Lake Batur, and the surrounding caldera. While taking in the view, enjoy a light breakfast — typically a warm banana sandwich, boiled eggs, a sweet snack, and your choice of hot coffee, tea, or milk.

Once the sun is fully up, the journey continues to the spectacular Black Lava fields at the base of the volcano. This surreal landscape, formed by ancient eruptions, is made up of jagged, pitch-black rocks that stretch across the foothills. Many guests say it feels like being on the moon.

There will be plenty of stops for photos and exploration, with views of the volcano always in sight. The return drive takes you past scenic plantations and glimpses of the lake, rounding off your morning with a final taste of Bali’s natural beauty.

You’ll return to your hotel between 8:00 and 8:30 AM, with the rest of the day still ahead and a morning full of unforgettable moments behind you.
