Volcano Kintamani Trail (Mount Batur Day Ride)
Kintamani, Indonesia
Overview
A guided day ride on the volcanic terrain around Mount Batur, over black sand dunes and lava fields with views across the caldera. Half day is about four hours and full day about eight hours, covering 50 to 60 km. The trail is adapted to riders from beginner to advanced and starts and ends at LakeView Bali in Kintamani.
The Volcano Kintamani trail runs across the black sand and lava fields around Mount Batur, which is the ground most people picture when they think of dirt biking in Bali. Riding is 50 to 60 km depending on the package, between roughly 389 and 1,245 metres of elevation, with about 660 metres of climbing and a similar amount of descent. The surface is mostly deep volcanic sand and lava rock with open dune sections you can jump and long sightlines across the caldera. The trail is graded beginner to advanced and the guides adapt it to your level, so it works as a first time on a dirt bike as well as a day out for someone who already rides. The half day option runs in the morning and takes around four hours around the Mount Batur landscape. The full day is around eight hours and adds the deep forest and sandy riverbeds of the Forest Kintamani trail. Everything starts and finishes at LakeView Bali.

The day starts at LakeView Bali in Kintamani with a briefing and a full set of riding gear, then a warm up to get used to the bike before heading onto the volcanic ground. The main riding is on the black sand dunes and lava fields around Mount Batur, deep volcanic sand and loose rock with open sections where you can jump the dunes and take in the views across the caldera. Elevation on the trail runs between about 389 and 1,245 metres, with roughly 660 metres of climbing and 650 metres of descent across 50 to 60 km, and top speeds of around 80 kph on the open parts. Half day riders go out in the morning for around four hours and are back at LakeView Bali by early afternoon. Full day riders continue after an a la carte lunch at a local restaurant and ride for around eight hours in total, adding the deep forest and sandy riverbeds of the neighbouring Forest Kintamani trail. Distance and route are set by the group's level and the package chosen. The ride ends back at the starting point.
