When was the last time Mount Batur erupted?

Mount Batur last had minor eruptive activity in 2000. Before that, it erupted more significantly in 1999 and 1974. These eruptions were relatively low in magnitude but confirmed the volcano’s active status.

Is Mount Batur still considered an active volcano?

Yes. Mount Batur is classified as an active stratovolcano by Indonesia’s volcanology agency. Even though it hasn’t had a major eruption in recent years, underground activity and minor gas emissions still occur.

Is it safe to hike Mount Batur given its active status?

Generally, yes. Local authorities monitor the volcano constantly. If there's any risk, alerts are issued and tours are suspended. Always check the latest updates before your hike.

How do I know if there’s a volcanic alert on Mount Batur?

Check Indonesia’s official volcanology website (PVMBG) or ask your tour provider. Local guides are usually informed in real-time and follow all safety protocols.

Has anyone been injured or killed in recent eruptions?

There have been no reported fatalities in recent decades. Improved monitoring and quick response systems have significantly reduced the risk to tourists and locals.

Can I visit Mount Batur’s crater or lava fields safely?

Yes, under normal conditions. The lava fields from past eruptions are stable and part of many guided tours. However, crater access depends on current volcanic activity and official advisories.

#It was a wonderful tour—we loved every minute of it. The jeep climb with our guide William was unforgettable. We got lots of great photos and even caught the sunrise. After that, we enjoyed a 6-hour tour of Ubud with our guide Putrawan, who planned the itinerary for us and showed us some of Ubud’s most beautiful spots. We also took lots of great photos, which we’re really happy about. I highly recommend these guys to everyone! 10/10. Mr. William and Putrawan, thank you.

#Start to the last , everything was super smooth .. hotel pick-up taxi driver contacted 12 hours before the trip .. the agency itself reminded for the trip in Whatsapp .. hotel pickup driver came 30-40 mins before the schedule .. it was New Toyota Rush , comfortable enough .. The driver was interactable and friendly .. At the jeep meating point , they offered tea/coffee first which wasn't mentioned in the itinerary .. The Most important part is , Our Jeep guide ...bro what a man he was .. he was very friendly and welcoming .. asked us, are we okay in every 5 mins ..he gave us breakfast .. explained about the tour and jeep.. he parked the car in a perfect spot .. took us photos ( man , personally thank you so much for those amazing shots ) .. after that he took us to the black lava point .. finally he dropped us to the first taxi driver again .. The final thing is , it's a must do thing Bali .. I find them responsible and also affordable ...

Watching the sunrise on Mount Batur was a really wonderful experience. But you should be aware that it gets absolutely packed... the hot springs were amazing! The best part was Gede, our driver—he told us a lot about Bali and its culture and customs. He definitely deserves 10 stars.

The experience was great, it started with a goos communication with my driver Andi and a punctual pick up, all the time he was on time and really nice company. The hike with my guide Agus was amazing, even though it was not my best day in the mountains he keep the group together, wait for me and gave me time to settle down and continue. The hot springs after hike was more than amazing, help to relax all the body with a nice view and finishing the day with one of the best coffee plantation. Andi and Agus perfect team!

What to do at Tukad Cepung waterfall

1/4

Swim in the shallow pool

Cool off in the clear, shallow water below the falls. It’s not deep, but it’s refreshing after your hike or jeep ride. Watch your step here cause the rocks can be slick.

Short canyon hike

Getting to the waterfall means descending steep stairs and walking through a narrow, mossy gorge. It’s short, scenic, and a bit of a thrill.

Explore the jungle edges

Beyond the waterfall, there are trails and quiet nooks with small shrines and dense greenery. It’s worth a few extra minutes if you're curious.

Pause for a photo or just to listen

Whether you’re snapping photos or sitting still, this is a place that rewards quiet attention.
