What People Say
Authentic feedback from real guests who booked this experience with Balian Tour.
"Best way to see sunrise without the grueling hike!"
Cruising up Mount Batur in an open-air 4WD classic jeep was amazing. Sitting on the caldera rim with hot coffee while watching the sun rise above the sea of clouds was pure magic. Driving across the black lava fields felt like landing on the moon!
"Stunning photos and very skilled 4x4 driver"
Our jeep driver was an incredible photographer who knew the exact best angles on the lava rocks. Comfortable warm jackets are recommended for the morning chill before sunrise. Unforgettable experience!
