Journey across the surreal basalt boulder fields and black volcanic dunes of Mount Batur formed during the historic 1963 eruption aboard a classic open-top 4WD safari jeep.
The Geologic Wonder of the 1963 Eruption
When Mount Batur erupted in 1963, colossal rivers of molten basalt cooled into massive black rock formations and expansive volcanic sand valleys. Today, this UNESCO Global Geopark terrain looks like the dark surface of Mars, offering the most dramatic photography backdrop on the entire island.

Our customized 4x4 safari jeeps feature wide high-flotation sand tires and raised open roofs. You can stand safely on the reinforced rooftop rack to capture 360-degree panorama photos of the smoking volcano summit, Lake Batur, and Mount Abang in the distance.
