Incredible experience
We had an absolutely amazing time from start to finish! The experience was incredibly well-organized, fun, and a complete highlight of our trip. Our guide, Jeru, made sure everything ran smoothly and even took some incredible pictures of us throughout the day that we will treasure forever. Highly recommended!

Worthy Mt. Batur experience
Had a great experience with Mangkuarta. Smooth pickup from hotel, spectacular sunset view followed by lava field photo stop. Overall value for money.

Everything was great
They take great pictures and are very kind! They even provided breakfast, so I had a hearty start to the tour. Communication in English was pretty good. I recommend Yoga and Sarwa as your guides.

Did the must-see thing to do in Bali on my last day!
I was mainly interested to see the sunrise from Mount Batur. I am so glad I did a jeep tour instead of hiking/trekking. I would not have been able to do the hiking on such little sleep and no training, even though I have hiked a sunrise summit before. The hotel pickup and return was by Indra. He was an excellent driver and he drove over two hours each way, with heavy traffic on the way back. I am thankful for his safe driving. I could sleep most of the way back without worrying. He had great communication about pick up/ drop offs and handed me off to the next persons. He did a great job. The sunrise portion of the tour was by Jero. He drove the jeep up the mountain with plenty of time to spare. I ended up with a lot of pix and some videos too. The sunrise was beautiful and memorable. You really can appreciate nature of the volcanic rock formations and the sun. I am glad Jero was able to capture the moments for me! Now I can show all my friends and family. The other parts of the tour were excellent too. I enjoyed the hot springs (perfect temp and view) and the coffee plantation tour explained all the plants and animals there with no pressure to buy their products. They do have unique products in the shop that you cannot buy online. So bring money for that! Great stop for gifts.

Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at Rp 350,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 98 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure?
+
Around 34 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour & Black Lava Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
