Overview:
Introduction
This Bali tour is perfect for those who don't like trekking however, want to see as much as possible in as little time as possible while in Bali.
Sunrise Tour
With the Sunrise Tour, we hit the track at 4:30am in our purpose-built Isuzu D-Max and head for an area we call Million Dollar Point because of the million dollar views. You'll get out and walk for about 10 minutes to get to the spot where you'll witness the sun rise and light up the Mount Batur caldera, Mount Agung, Mount Abang, Mount Rinjani on Lombok Island, Lake Batur, the Indian Ocean, and the entire Mount Batur caldera area. Of all our Bali tours, this is our favourite.
After a bit of a wander around, we'll drive back the same way we came, only you'll be able to see where you're going now that it's daylight. We'll drop in on the Kintamani Bats and say hello before heading back to the pick up point at around 7.00am.
Sunset Tour
With the Sunset Tour, we start the 4x4 at 4:00pm and head towards an area we call Million Dollar Point because of the million dollar views. Before we arrive at Million Dollar Point and time permitting, we'll make a stop at the Kintamani Bats and say hello. When arriving at Million Dollar Point, you'll get out and walk for about 10 minutes to get to the point where you'll witness the sun set near or behind Mount Batur. You'll be able to take photos of Mount Abang, Mount Agung, Lake Batur below, and Mount Rinjani on Lombok Island across the Indian Ocean, if the day is cloud-free.
No Trekking
This tour has a short 10-minute walk up a hill towards Million Dollar Point that gives you a great viewing platform. Unlike hiking up Mount Batur where you'll see the caldera, Mount Agung, Mount Abang, and Lake Batur, Million Dollar Point has all that, plus the Indian Ocean, Mount Rinjani, and Lombok Island in the distance.

Bonus Reasons
2 x Bonus Reasons to book with Expedition Bali Tours
SPOILER ALERT - Once you know everything.......
1. All of our tours have a small unique gift. For example, on this tour we give you a hat with LED’s to light your way. You know why? We do this more for practical reasons. It will either it'll be dark when you set out on the Sunrise Tour, or it will be dark on the way back from your Sunset Tour. So we created a memento you can keep and take with you back to your home country. The hats aren’t cheap, and we've put our logo on the hat to remind you of where you first used the hats. They're yours to keep, and their USB rechargeable.
2. We take you to a bat area. Not another "bat cave" These bats are outside hanging on a cliff face. Amazing to see close up, and in the day light. Literally 10's of thousands of them. After your sunrise tour, and before your sunset tour (Time permitting) Sunrise tours, may run into traffic on the way. If this is the case the bats will be missed to ensure you don't miss the sunset from Million Dollar Point

"Great tour with a huge 4x4 that has weather protection. The tour was great because I didn’t want a long walk so the car got up so high it was only a 10 min walk and I could see Mount Agung, Mount Batur, Mount Abang, Mount Rinjani, Lombok Island, The Indian Ocean, and Lake Batur all from one location.
The guild spoke both English and Indonesian and was a amazing photographer.
The meeting point was easy to find. Just Google or Apple Maps 'Expedition Bali Tours' this will take you directly to the meeting point.
They gave us free cool LED rechargeable caps which were super handy for the walk in the dark.
At the end we saw the Kintamani Bats which was a amazing experience. I have never seen so many bats."
- Luke Faulkner Hall - Perth, Western Australia.
"What an amazing adventure! The car offered ample space with its large wheels, and even on rough terrain, every bump was a breeze, made even better with the assurance of seatbelts.The comfort level was truly outstanding!
They kindly gifted us complimentary rechargeable LED caps that emit a cool and stylish light, mantappp.
Our first-ever trekking adventure was a delightful and effortless walk, guided by the remarkable Made. His warm and friendly demeanour, along with his genuine care, elevated the experience to another level. And let's not forget his unparalleled photography skills that added a touch of enchantment to the entire adventure.
From this elevated spot, I had the privilege to behold the breathtaking magnificence of Mount Agung, Mount Batur, Mount Abang, Mount Rinjani, the Indian Ocean, and Lake Batur, all unfurled before my eyes from this singular, awe-inspiring vantage point.
Furthermore, the tour encompassed a stop at the Kintamani Bats on the return journey, introducing an additional element of distinctiveness to the excursion.
Truly unforgettable! 🚗✨🏞️" - Murni Tobing - Medan - Indonesia.
“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Mount Batur Tour with Bali Expedition, and I am truly amazed by the exceptional quality of this tour. The entire experience left me in awe and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a remarkable adventure.
One of the highlights of the tour is the new Million Dollar Point 4x4 Private tour. What sets this apart is that it requires only around 10 minutes of walking, making it accessible for all. From this vantage point, I was fortunate enough to witness the stunning beauty of Mount Agung, Mount Batur, Mount Abang, Mount Rinjani, The Indian Ocean, and Lake Batur - all from a single breathtaking location.
The thoughtful provision of free cool LED rechargeable caps added a delightful touch to the experience. The comfort of the largest 4x4 in the region, accommodating up to six guests, made the journey even more enjoyable. It was a pleasure to have a private tour exclusively for me and my friends, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the surroundings.
Bali Expedition ensured convenience at every step. The pick-up and drop-off transport from my stay in Seminyak, makes it hassle-free. Additionally, the tour included a visit to the Kintamani Bats on the way back, adding an extra layer of uniqueness to the trip.
I must mention that Made, our guide and photographer, greatly enhanced the tour experience. His skills behind the camera captured the moments perfectly, and his warm and friendly nature made the journey even more enjoyable.
In conclusion, my Mount Batur Tour with Bali Expedition was an unforgettable experience, filled with incredible sights and impeccable service. I am grateful for the memories created during this adventure and would wholeheartedly recommend Bali Expedition to anyone seeking an extraordinary and well-organized tour experience in Bali.
Thank you guys for making my journey with my friends truly exceptional!”

“I really enjoyed the experience of driving a 4x4 car, the car is big and not noisy at all. Each passenger seat has a safety seat belt and the seating area is very spacious and comfortable. So I feel very safe during a fairly extreme trip. What an experience, Expedition Bali Tours completely blew me away from start to finish. Starting from the details of every trip information, the locations we will visit and we are even given hats with lights, to help us in the dark journey when heading to the top. The tour guide, Bli Made, is very knowledgeable and friendly. He even has excellent photography skills. He even helped direct how we should pose and he also gave in-depth information about the places we visited. The destinations chosen were very interesting and didn't tire us, but the views we got were spectacular. The places you visit provide a rich insight into local culture and nature. Anyway, during the tour made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Overall, this is a very satisfying and memorable tour experience for me. I will definitely recommend it to friends and family” - Era Simatupang - Medan, Indonesia.

Q: There are 10 of us, can we all go?
A: We take a maximum of six adults on this tour. We can organise an extra car, however it wont be our car. Some may be disappointed they are not in our car, so we don't often do this. If you really want to take more people than six, get in touch and we'll have a chat about what's possible. We've done it many times before.
Q: How long has Expedition Bali Tours been around for?
A: We’re the oldest established tour operator in Kintamani. We started in 2012.
