If you’re up for something different, something that feels raw, wild, and totally Bali, this volcano jeep adventure is it. No hiking, no stress. Just hop in a 4WD jeep and cruise across the slopes of Mount Batur. You’ll ride through black lava fields, dusty black sand trails, and even pass by local farms along the way. It’s bumpy, fun, and packed with views that feel straight out of another planet.

We kick things off with a drive through Kintamani’s highland farms. You’ll see local farmers working the land, planting onions, cabbages, and chilies with Mount Batur towering in the background. Cool air, quiet roads, it’s a refreshing way to start.

Then we hit the black lava fields. These rugged, rocky landscapes were formed from Batur’s past eruptions. The lava looks wild, sharp, dark, and dramatic. We’ll stop for photos, climb a few lava mounds, and just take it all in. It’s one of the most unique terrains in Bali.

Next, it’s time for some real fun, off-roading through the black sand dunes. The jeep kicks up dust as we weave through hills and slopes. It’s not extreme, but it’s enough to make you smile (and maybe scream a little if you sit in the back!).

Along the way, we’ll stop at some panoramic viewpoints to catch epic shots of the volcano and Lake Batur down below. The air is fresh, the vibe is chill, and there’s not a crowd in sight.

Highlights

  • Ride a 4WD jeep across Mount Batur’s black lava and black sand terrain.

  • Feel the thrill of off-roading without having to hike.
  • Perfect for families, couples, and anyone who loves adventure.
  • Private trip with local driver-guide who knows every corner of the mountain

We had taken a 10 days honeymoon tour with Didi, and we had the most pleasant experience. He is very much aware about all the places and routes, we had experience of the real bali. Didi is very friendly we had amazing pictures, tasted local fruits, saw amazing locations , did various adventures. I would highly recommend to take tours from them

We were lucky enough to have a tour guide like Tawan. He was so patient taking a perfect, instagramable shot for us. Lunch was great. Would definitely give him a 5 star and recommend to my friends as well. Keep smiling it's contagious.

The art museum was beautiful, and monkey sanctuary was so much fun! We also did some great shopping in the market. And we are so lucky that our tour guide Yos was so good! He taught us so much about the history and culture, we learned a lot and had so much fun with him.

Our driver for this trip was MANGKOK and we would like to express our appreciation towards him as he has definitely made our trip a smooth and memorable one. We needed to find a home-stay/resort at a very last minute and he even went the extra mile by bringing us to various places to check out and Ensure that we get a reasonable price for our short stay there. In addition, he will always cater to the customer’s requests, flexible in the trip planning and offered great suggestions for the places that are worth visiting in Bali! He is a friendly driver and a great guide who places our interests as priority. We highly recommend MANGKOK and will definitely hire him again for our next trip to Bali.
