Bali Buggy Adventure & Kintamani Day Tour — Volcano Views, Rice Terraces and Waterfalls
A full-day loop from Ubud that pairs a one-hour off-road buggy track with panoramic stops at Mount Batur, Tegalalang rice terraces and Tegenungan Waterfall. Expect muddy tracks, volcano views and cultural rice-terrace scenery.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Tracks and waterfall stairs are slippery—sturdy shoes protect feet during the buggy and short hikes.
Bring a change of clothes
Buggy rides often leave you wet and muddy; a towel and dry set make the rest of the day comfortable.
Protect electronics from water and mud
Use a waterproof case or ziplock—phones and cameras see a lot of splash on puddle sections and at the waterfall.
Start early for clearer volcano views
Morning departures reduce haze at Mount Batur and avoid the midday heat on open tracks.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small temple viewpoints along the Kintamani rim with quieter caldera views
- •A short detour to Toya Bungkah hot springs near Lake Batur for a warm soak after the day
Wildlife
- •Long-tailed macaques in roadside forests near Ubud

Conservation Note
Stick to marked paths at terraces and waterfalls, carry out all trash, and avoid feeding wildlife to minimize human impact on sacred agricultural sites and fragile river corridors.
Mount Batur’s repeated eruptions created the present caldera; the subak irrigation system that shapes Tegalalang’s terraces dates back centuries and reflects Balinese water temple culture.
