Mount Batur ATV and Quad Bike Tours

Sunrise ATV rides at Batur

Three of the rides start at the lava fields near Kintamani and South Batur. Each gives you a solo or tandem ATV, a local guide, safety equipment, coffee or tea and insurance, and each takes you to the black lava fields with breakfast during the sunrise. Two of them list a natural hot spring as an optional extra, which turns the morning into a ride followed by a soak. The hotel transfer is an option on all three, so the price you see depends on whether you add it.

The rides start in the morning, around sunrise, and conditions vary by month. The BMKG report for Batur and Kintamani for August 2026 counted more than 60 dry days in a row and forecast rain for November, so expect a muddy trail in the wet months.

A shorter ride on the same lava

If a full sunrise morning is more than you want, the black lava ride of 1 to 1.5 hours costs $20 per person. It lists solo or tandem ATVs, guides, safety equipment, bottled water, coffee or tea and insurance, with hotel pickup as an option. It suits riders who want the lava fields and the quad bike without the breakfast stop.

Who it suits and what you need

One Batur lava ATV package lists ages 7 to 65 and asks for no riding experience, only basic fitness and mobility. Bring a change of clothes, sunscreen, sunglasses, a waterproof phone case and sturdy shoes, plus swimwear and a towel if you add the hot spring. Riders who would rather sit than steer can take a tandem seat, and a guide leads the way on every Batur ride.

ATV or jeep?

Both reach the lava field at sunrise. The quad puts you in control of the ride and costs from $20, the same as the cheapest shared jeep. A jeep lets you sit back and look instead of steering; see the jeep tour page. Our tours page compares every option at Batur.
