How Do the Kintamani Jeep Tours Compare?

The $18 listing is the cheapest, the $20 listing bundles the most fees and the $28 listing has the smaller group of up to 15.

All three cross the lava field left by the 1963 eruption. Every from-price is the cheapest option, so read the last column before you book.

How Much Does a Full Day Kintamani Volcano Tour Cost?

The 8-hour listings are $20 and $28 per person, and the 5-8 hour listing is $18, each as a from-price for the basic option.

The hot spring is a dearer option on all three, so a day with a soak costs more than the headline figure.

What the Figures Mean

The Sunrise Jeep with Entrance and Parking Fees and the Sunrise Jeep with Kintamani Ticket both run 8 hours. The Shared or Private Sunrise Jeep runs 5-8 hours at the lowest price. None of them includes lunch.

For reference, Batur Natural Hot Spring lists its own regular ticket at IDR 200,000 per adult and IDR 100,000 per child, with all pools, a locker and towel service included. Its water stays at 38 to 40°C. What a tour's hot spring option adds is shown at checkout. A private jeep on the Shared or Private Sunrise Jeep listing is also a dearer option than the shared one.

What Is Included in the Kintamani Tour?

Each from-price includes the shared 4WD jeep, a Mount Batur ticket and breakfast or a hot drink, and lunch is not in any of them.

The route is the same black lava field left by the 1963 eruption, so the differences are in the paperwork.

Inside Each Price

The jeeps cross the black lava field from 1963. What differs is what else the price pays for.

  • The Sunrise Jeep with Kintamani Ticket: bottled water, Mount Batur and Kintamani tickets, GST, 21% government tax and service, and a breakfast of sandwiches, boiled eggs, fruit, a chocolate bar and a hot drink. Lunch is not included.
  • The Shared or Private Sunrise Jeep: two bottles of water per person, the Mount Batur ticket, and a biscuit, banana and tea or coffee at the viewpoint. Lunch, personal expenses and tips are not included.

Is Kintamani Worth Visiting?

Yes for the volcano landscape: Mount Batur stands about 1,717 metres above sea level, inside a double caldera beside a lake 7.5 km long.

UNESCO certified the Batur caldera as a Global Geopark in 2012.

What You Are Looking At

The Batur calderas are believed to have formed after two major eruptions about 29,300 and 20,150 years ago. Lake Batur is crescent shaped, about 7.5 km long and 2.5 km wide. Bangli tourism records about 30 eruptions between 1804 and 2000, and the last was in 2000.

The Batur Volcano Museum south of the mountain is open daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and admission is free. A jeep ride covers the lava fields and the viewpoint without the pre-dawn climb of a trek.

How Far Is Kintamani from Bali?

Kintamani is a district inside Bali, and the Batur Volcano Museum on the south side of the mountain is about 60 km from Denpasar.

The distance is covered by car before the jeep starts, so your hotel decides the cost.

From the Coast to the Jeep

On the options with hotel pickup, a car brings you up and the jeep takes over at the mountain. The Shared or Private Sunrise Jeep itinerary lists a 20-minute jeep ride to the viewpoint for breakfast and sunrise, then a 10-minute jeep ride on to the black lava.

Distance has a price on one listing: on the Sunrise Jeep with Entrance and Parking Fees the Mount Batur area pickup option is only for people staying around Mount Batur, and pickup from outside that area costs IDR 950,000 extra for transport. Check the pickup option before you pay.

What Does a Kintamani Jeep Tour Day Look Like?

You leave before dawn, watch sunrise from a Mount Batur viewpoint over Lake Batur, then cross the black lava field.

Sunrise at Mount Batur falls between 5:48 AM and 6:34 AM across the year.

Order of the Stops

The earliest sunrise in the NOAA data is 5:48 AM in mid-November and the latest is 6:34 AM in mid-July, so the pickup is the same early hour whatever the month.

After breakfast at the viewpoint the jeep drives the lava field from the 1963 eruption. The Sunrise Jeep with Kintamani Ticket lists option stops of a hot spring (2 hours), a rice terrace, Tirta Empul temple, a Kintamani cafe and Ayung rafting.

Who Should Book a Kintamani Jeep Tour and Who Should Skip It?

Book it for the sunrise view without the climb, and skip it if you are pregnant or have back problems or a mobility impairment.

The ride is easy but it is not smooth, and the listings say who it does not suit.

Fit and Age Limits

The jeep goes over bumpy volcanic terrain. The Shared or Private Sunrise Jeep listing says it is not suitable for pregnant women, people with back problems or mobility impairments. The Sunrise Jeep with Entrance and Parking Fees listing is not recommended for pregnant travellers and books ages 7 to 80, for a minimum of 2 persons. The Sunrise Jeep with Kintamani Ticket books children 3 to 9 and adults 10 to 75.

Jeep tours of this kind generally suit families with young children, older parents and anyone who has already done the sunrise trek. PVMBG lists Mount Batur at Level I (Normal), the lowest of four levels, and the UK government warns that volcanoes can erupt without warning, so follow the driver-guide's instructions on the day.

Which Kintamani Jeep Tour Should You Pick?

Pick the $18 listing for the lowest price, the $20 listing for the most fees bundled, and the $28 listing for the group of up to 15.

Then pick the date: the wet months are the risk for a sunrise view.

Decision by Traveller

Choose by what matters most to you.

Pick a Dry Date

On the Mount Batur lava fields December, January and February bring 444 to 469 mm of rain a month, against 32 mm in August and 42 mm in September. The average temperature at 6:00 AM is 18.5°C (65°F) in December and 16.3°C (61°F) in August, so bring a warm layer either way.
