FAQs
The Sunrise Jeep Tour in Kintamani is a popular alternative to the traditional Mount Batur sunrise hike. Instead of trekking, the driver will drive you in a 4×4 jeep to a scenic spot on the slopes of Mount Batur to watch the sunrise. Many tours also include a trip to see the unique black lava fields.
Tour durations can vary depending on the package you choose and your pickup location. All-inclusive tours can last anywhere from 8 to 12 hours. The jeep adventure itself is typically around 2-3 hours.
Most packages include a private 4WD jeep, an experienced local driver/guide, entrance fees to the Kintamani and Mount Batur area, mineral water, and a light breakfast. Many all-inclusive tours also include hotel pickup and drop-off.
The tour is a great option for people who want to experience the Mount Batur sunrise without the physical effort of hiking. It’s generally considered safe and fun for families and children.
Yes, the tour is generally safe. The routes are well-established and guides are experienced. The last eruption of Mount Batur was in 1999-2000, and international scientists monitor the volcano, making an unannounced eruption highly unlikely.
Yes, there are often toilet facilities available at or near the sunrise viewing points.
It’s best to book at least a day in advance to ensure availability. For busy seasons, booking further in advance is recommended.
Pickup times are very early in the morning to ensure you arrive in time for sunrise. They depend on your hotel’s location. For example, pickups from Ubud are typically between 2:30 AM – 3:00 AM, while pickups from Kuta, Seminyak, or Canggu are earlier, often between 2:00 AM – 2:15 AM.
It gets cold on the volcano before and during sunrise, so it’s essential to dress in layers. Bring warm clothing such as a warm jacket, long pants, a hat, and gloves. Comfortable shoes or sneakers are also a must.
A small backpack is useful for carrying essentials. Other items you should consider bringing include:
- A camera or smartphone to take photos.
- Sunglasses and sunscreen for when the sun comes up.
- A face mask or scarf to protect against volcanic dust, especially in windy conditions.
- Extra cash for personal expenses or souvenirs.
- A small blanket, if you have one, for extra warmth.
