Mount Batur Jeep Tour: Sunrise, Black Lava, and Adrenaline

One of the most exciting ways to explore the natural beauty of Mount Batur is to take a Mount Batur Jeep Tour —an experience that combines the beauty of the sunrise, exploration of black lava terrain, and the thrill of adrenaline on an offroad trail.

We recommend that the best place to start this experience is from Tan’s Estate, an exclusive inn that not only offers direct access to the Mount Batur jeep tour, but also other unique tourist destinations, such as a cruise in the Royal Songan area—an experience of exploring the beauty of Lake Batur in a more serene and elegant way.

What is Jeep Tour Mount Batur?

Jeep tour Mount Batur is an adventure tour using a 4×4 jeep car that is specially designed to conquer steep and rocky terrain. This tour usually starts in the early morning, around 4 am, to catch the moment of sunrise from a strategic point on the slopes or summits of Mount Batur. After enjoying the stunning sunrise, the journey continues across a black lava field—remnants of the devastating eruption of Mount Batur in the past.

Tan’s Estate, which is located not far from the jeep start area, provides the advantage for its guests to be able to depart more relaxed and still arrive on time at the departure point. In fact, in some special packages, Tan’s Estate guests can be picked up directly from the inn by the jeep tour team.

Take a Cruise on Royal Songan: Cruise along Lake Batur with a Luxurious Feel

After conquering the lava trails and the thrilling sunrise, you can also enjoy a quieter side of Kintamani—through a cruise experience at Royal Songan. Still within the scope of services of Tan’s Estate, this tour offers a leisurely cruise on Lake Batur, using an exclusive boat with views of the caldera and fishing villages around the lake.

Royal Songan itself is an area that is famous for its quiet pier and is one of the favorite spots to enjoy Lake Batur from different sides. This cruise is suitable for tourists who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the natural atmosphere in a more slow-paced way.

Some cruise packages from Tan’s Estate even come with snacks, warm drinks, and photo sessions, making them the perfect choice for couples, families, or pre-wedding sessions.

The Uniqueness of Sunrise on Mount Batur

Sunrise is the main moment in the Mount Batur jeep tour experience. The dark sky slowly turns into a gradation of orange, purple, and pink, creating stunning nature paintings. From a height, you can see the first sunlight that appears from behind the silhouette of Mount Agung and Lake Batur in the distance.

Staying at Tan’s Estate allows you to prepare for the morning more conveniently—not rushing from a remote location, and being able to enjoy a coffee or tea right before the adventure begins.

Crossing the Black Lava Field

After being satisfied with enjoying the sunrise, the adventure continues to the black lava area—a stretch of volcanic rock from the massive eruption of Mount Batur. The terrain is hard, rocky, and uneven, making it an exciting challenge for jeep drivers and a unique experience for its passengers.

With Tan’s Estate as your travel partner, you’ll be escorted by an experienced driver who understands the black lava area in depth. This provides a sense of security as well as comfort in every offroad session.
