Amazing experience with host Arka. Organisation of tour was smooth I got picked up from hotel right on time by Arka, pretty knowledgeable guide and had good grasp of English. We reached 10-15 minutes early to the location where I had to start the quad bike tour. I was greeted with welcome coffee (Indonesian). Tour operator was very cooperative and friendly and quad bikes and protective equipments were relatively new and in good condition. We did a little trial and off we went to Mount Batur. It was very exiting as I was new to quad bikes (any one can do it). The path was interesting first plain on road than bumpy on rocks and then mountains of ash where we did multiple rounds. Tour operators was taking my photos with my camera and few videos from his camera (later send it to me with no extra cost) after 1 and half hour we head down to fields, visited local temple and drove another half an hour there. Tour ended with Arka driving me back to hotel with a pit stop of free breakfast with a beautiful view at cafe where you could see whole Mount Batur (nice breakfast too) :)

I’ve went on many ATV tours around SEA and I have to say this tour is by far the best one I’ve been on. The trail brings you on quite the adventurous trail up Mt Batur and you come very close to the black lava rock formations (they’re very safe not to worry). At the top we were treated to one of the best up close views of the mountain and even quite a bit of free time to explore the area ourselves. Our guide and driver were also superbly warm and friendly. The trail up might be slightly challenging for first-time ATV riders, but it made the journey all the more fulfilling!
