Biking in Bali

With its kaleidoscope of landscapes, there is so much more to see in Bali than its beaches. An e-bike ride is a great way to get away from the crowds and see the island in a whole new light.

From the striking volcanic mountains and hills to the lush tropical forests and paddy fields and on to the dramatic coastline and river valleys, Bali has some truly spectacular scenery to cycle through.

We can arrange various routes throughout the island and can design them to meet every ability, from a gentle downhill cycle or challenging climb.

You’ll be picked up by your local guide and provided with excellent quality bikes and safety equipment. A support vehicle can be arranged throughout and the guide will go along at a pace that suits everyone.

Some of our favourite routes on the island are around Ubud including the one-way adventures from Wanigiri to Ubud and from Ubud to Sideman. Both are wonderful alternatives to a road transfer. You’ll take small paths, only accessible on bikes, with verdant views of rice terraces and forests, mountains and valleys and – depending on the season – you’ll also see farmers planting or harvesting their crops.

Another great cycle ride starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Ubud. You’ll be driven to a beautiful spot overlooking Mount Batur for breakfast, before a downhill ride through lush tropical paddy fields, coffee plantations and a tour of a village temple. After a traditional lunch in a local village, giving you a wonderful insight into the local Balinese way of life, you will be picked up and dropped back in Ubud.

Please speak to a member of the ETG Travel Team about arranging a cycle tour and how it can fit into your wider holiday in Bali.
