Mount Batur tours at a glance
A Mount Batur tour usually means one of three things: a guided sunrise hike up the cone, a jeep tour to a viewpoint and the black lava field, or a longer day that adds a hot spring, a coffee plantation or a waterfall. You will also see the words mount batur tour, batur tours and mount batur trip for the same offers. Most start before dawn and are finished by late morning.
Look at the options before you pay. Hotel pick-up, the Kintamani ticket and the hot spring are often tied to the option you choose, so the same tour can have quite different inclusions.

Hikes, jeeps and combination days with live prices and availability.
Sunrise hike or jeep?
Two very different mornings on the same volcano.
The sunrise hike takes you to the top of the cone on foot. It is the only way to stand on the summit, and it asks for good shoes, warm clothing and a start in the dark. Hiking groups often bring a headlamp or torch and a trekking pole, and breakfast is eaten at the top on many tours.
The jeep tour is the easier option. The 4WD drives to a viewpoint for the sunrise and then crosses the black lava field. It does not go to the summit, so you see the volcano from below rather than from its crater rim. Private and shared versions exist, and some add a hot spring, a coffee stop or a waterfall depending on the option.
Other options in the list include a private sunrise or sunset hike, a day hike with a coffee plantation visit, a hike combined with a canoe ride on the lake and an overnight stay in a glamping tent with a morning hike and a waterfall. Check what the option includes before you book, because a hot spring or waterfall is sometimes available only for one of the options.
If you would rather steer than sit, compare the quad rides on our Mount Batur ATV page.
If you want the guide or jeep to yourself, compare the options on our Mount Batur private tour page.
Mount Batur with Ubud and Tirta Empul
For a longer day away from the coast.
Two combination offers pair the volcano with Ubud. One is a private jeep morning on Mount Batur followed by the Tegalalang rice terraces and the water temple of Tirta Empul, with lunch extra and a surcharge for outer pick-up zones. The other is a two-day programme with private transfers, a jeep, a hot spring, waterfalls and rice terraces. Here the two days do not include a place to sleep, so you arrange accommodation yourself. For the temple part of these days, read the Tirta Empul guide. On this site we cover only the Batur part: the early start, the viewpoint and the lava field.
What tour prices include
Same volcano, different inclusions.
A price on a card is per person for the option you pick. Read the inclusion list, because many items depend on the option:
- The Kintamani ticket and a coffee plantation stop are often included only when you add the transfer.
- A hot spring ticket may be part of the tour, or only part of one option. Some hot spring options also include a towel and locker.
- Breakfast is usually simple, such as a banana sandwich, egg, fruit and tea or coffee.
- Some trek options supply a torch and stick, others a rain jacket.
- Tips and personal expenses are normally not included.
For the fee levels behind these items, see the entrance fee page. The question of hotel pick-up is covered in how to get to Mount Batur.

What is the difference between the hike and the jeep tour?
The hike goes up the cone on foot to the summit. The jeep tour drives to a viewpoint and the black lava field and does not reach the summit.
Is a guide included?
Most hike and jeep options include a local guide or driver. Foreign visitors are asked to use a licensed guide anyway, so check that your option has one.
Is hotel pick-up included?
Often only if you select the transfer option. Check the option before you book and note the pick-up zone.
Are tickets and the hot spring included?
That depends on the option. Look at the inclusion list for the Kintamani ticket, park entry and the hot spring ticket.
