Royal Songan Lake Batur Cruise & Cultural Show

Nestled inside the UNESCO-listed Batur Geopark, Lake Batur is one of Bali’s most breathtaking natural landmarks. Now, you can explore it like never before on the Royal Songan Lake Batur Cruise—the first and only cultural boat tour in Kintamani.

Swap the crowded beach clubs of the south for the crisp highland air and glassy waters of a volcanic caldera. Whether you want to join a scheduled sailing, host a private gathering, or enjoy a romantic charter, this cruise offers a serene and memorable escape with Mount Batur and Mount Abang as your backdrop.

What to Expect on Your Kintamani Cruise

Every sailing on the Royal Songan Cruise blends spectacular natural scenery with rich Balinese heritage. During your journey, you will experience:

  • Iconic Landmarks: Sail past the sacred Pura Jati Segara floating temple, the mystical Trunyan Village (famous for its unique open-air burial rites), and the towering Statue of Dewi Danu.
  • Live Cultural Show: Enjoy an onboard performance of “The Tale of Balingkang,” a captivating story rooted in the golden age of the Bali Aga civilization.
  • Unmatched Scenery: Experience the stillness of the lake and panoramic views of active volcanoes, far away from the busy waters of Benoa Harbour.

*Scheduled cruises depart every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Bali Car Driver Bali Car Driver and it was the best decision I ever made. They have a lot of options to choose from, such as full day tours, half day tours, combination tours and activities tours. I opted for the Ubud and Tanah Lot Sunset Tour and it was amazing. I got to see the monkey forest, the rice terraces, the temple on the sea and the beautiful sunset. The driver guide was very friendly, informative and flexible. He also took great photos of me along the way.

Superb service. We were fortunate to meet Bali Car Driver on line since we had 6 pax for the first trip in July 2002. Putu was our attentive driver, in formative and caring with exceptional English. We were with him for 4 days including our second trip in September 2022. We highly recommend Bali Car Driver as your transportation, your guide and your friend.

Simply Amazing We stayed in Bali for two weeks. We hired this service and Ketut was our driver for 10 of the 14 days. During that time we had booked tours with other companies. We were so disappointed that we didn’t book everything here. Our driver was on time (If not early), he spoke fluent English, and made suggestions as to where to buy stuff. It was a pleasure!! Ketut made us feel safe and any attraction we went to, he walked us to the attraction and made sure we got in without any hassles. We are so happy we used them!! 6 STARS!!
