Mount Batur Jeep Tour and Hot Spring: Which Price Includes the Soak

What each from-price covers

The table lists each listing at its from-price per person, with its length, what that price covers and how the hot spring is sold, taken from each tour card.

Reading the table

The headline prices are not like for like, because a shared listing and a private listing sell different days. Compare the hot spring column first. Where the listing names Batur Natural Hot Spring, its own regular package for international visitors is IDR 200,000 per adult and IDR 100,000 per child, with all pools, a locker and towel service.

Toya Devasya, named on Jeep, Toya Devasya and a Waterfall, has eight natural pools and one Olympic-sized pool.

What the soak is like

Batur Natural Hot Spring says its water stays at a constant 38 to 40°C. The ERA5 reanalysis puts the 6 AM temperature on the lava fields between 16.3°C (61°F) in August and 18.5°C (65°F) in December. The spring lies in the outer courtyard of Pura Tirta Mas Bungkah, a temple protected by village custom, so keep the visit quiet.

Shared Sunrise Jeep with Basecamp Snacks describes a public lakeside spring with basic changing rooms, so pack a change of clothes. Jeep, Toya Devasya and a Waterfall sends you to Toya Devasya instead, with its eight natural pools and one Olympic-sized pool.

How high the jeep goes

Shared Sunrise Jeep with Basecamp Snacks stops at a sunrise viewpoint about three-quarters up Mount Batur. Private Jeep with Hot Spring Packages stops at a sunrise point about 1,365 m above sea level and has a Jeep + Hot Spring + Hike option with a 45 minute walk to the summit. Mount Batur stands about 1,717 metres above sea level according to the Bangli Regency Tourism Office.

Is the volcano safe to visit?

PVMBG lists Mount Batur at Level I (Normal), the lowest of four levels. The UK government still warns that volcanoes can erupt without warning, so follow local authority advice and your driver-guide.

Pickup times and jeep timings

The table shows the pickup time or area, then what each card says about the jeep part and the finish, using the timings printed on each tour card.

Where the hours go

Shared Sunrise Jeep with Basecamp Snacks lists a car ride of about 1 hour each way to the jeep basecamp, where a welcome drink, snacks and a safety briefing come before the sunrise viewpoint. That listing also has the widest range, 4-12 hours.

What the private prices include

Towel, welcome drink and locker come only with the hot spring packages. The ATV option keeps a private jeep but uses a shared pickup car with a maximum of 5 passengers, and a Kintamani cafe brunch is paid by you.

Jeep, Toya Devasya and a Waterfall adds the Toya Devasya Hot Spring ticket, a waterfall stop and hotel pickup from selected areas. Batur Natural Hot Spring's own tickets include a locker and towel service.
