What to Do in Kintamani After Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep: Cafes, Hot Springs & Waterfalls Guide

One of the greatest advantages of the Mount Batur 4x4 Sunrise Jeep Tour is its time efficiency. Because the open-roof jeep navigates directly to the 1,365m caldera vantage point with zero hiking, your volcano sunrise, breakfast, and Black Lava exploration are typically completed by 08:00 AM to 08:30 AM.

While some travelers choose to head straight back to their hotel for an afternoon nap, Kintamani and the surrounding mountain ridge offer some of Bali's most breathtaking morning attractions. Because all Balian Tour transport is 100% private, your private driver can easily customize your route. Here are the 5 best things to do after your Batur sunrise jeep tour.

1. Soak in Lakeside Volcanic Hot Springs (Toya Devasya)

Located right along the southern shoreline of Lake Batur, natural geothermal springs bubble up from the depths of the volcano. The thermal pools are maintained at a luxurious 38°C to 40°C, rich in sulfur and natural minerals that soothe early morning muscles.

Floating in an infinity thermal pool with the dramatic caldera wall towering directly across the water turns your early morning adventure into a restorative wellness spa experience. We offer this as a pre-packaged combo:

2. Experience Kintamani's Famous Cliffside Glass Cafes

Over the last three years, the Penelokan rim in Kintamani has transformed into Bali's coolest cafe destination. Perched along the edge of the crater rim at 1,500 meters altitude, these modern glasshouses feature open-air sun decks with unobstructed 180-degree vistas of Mount Batur, Mount Abang, and Lake Batur below.

• Akasa Specialty Coffee: Four-tier open-air amphitheater seating with specialty single-origin Arabica Kintamani pour-overs.
• Montana Del Cafe: Famous for its floating cloud deck where morning fog drifts beneath your feet.
• Ritatkala Cafe: Excellent brunch menu serving fresh smoothie bowls, avocado toast, and Balinese pastries.

3. Authentic Luwak Coffee & Organic Spice Tasting Flight

As you descend the mountain ridge toward central Bali, the climate transitions into lush highland coffee country. Stop at an authentic family-run agro-tourism estate to stroll through garden pathways lined with vanilla pods, cinnamon bark, cacao trees, and clove plants.

Watch traditional wood-fire clay pan roasting and enjoy a complimentary 10-cup tasting flight overlooking lush jungle ravines. You can also sample genuine Bali Kopi Luwak brewed via siphon or French press.

4. Drive Down to Ubud for Jungle ATV Quad Biking (The Ultimate Day)

If you have high energy and want to pack maximum adventure into your holiday, Kintamani is only 35 to 40 minutes driving distance from Payangan in northern Ubud. By 09:30 AM, you can arrive at our private ATV circuit to tear through muddy riverbeds, the Gorilla Cave tunnel, and waterfall cascades. Powered in collaboration with on-ground basecamp partner Ubud Jungle Adventures, the Payangan site provides warm shower suites, sanitized helmets, and expert trail marshals.

Doing both activities on the same day saves significant driving time compared to making two separate trips from South Bali (Canggu or Seminyak). Check out our popular combo package:
