About this tour

You'll navigate the jeep up the volcanic slopes to catch sunrise, then traverse the stark black lava fields left by past eruptions. The afternoon shifts to the thermal springs beside Lake Batur, where you can float in warm mineral water with Mount Abang as your backdrop. Coffee and tea are served throughout.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning for the jeep ascent. The vehicle climbs steadily, hitting rougher terrain as you approach higher elevations. You'll exit the jeep near sunrise time to take in the view across Bali's interior. The return route loops through the expansive lava field—a lunar landscape of cooled volcanic flows. After the drive, you transition to the hot springs facility. The thermal water sits between 38–40°C. You'll have two hours to soak, swim, or relax poolside. Lockers and towels are provided. The setting remains relatively peaceful, with views across the caldera.
Good to know
Early starts are essential for sunrise timing. The jeep ride involves significant jolting on uneven ground; avoid if you have spine or serious joint concerns. Pregnant travellers should sit this out. Bring a swimsuit and change of clothes. The thermal springs can get busy mid-morning—arriving early maximises peace.
