Full day cycle tour of Rural Bali

Escape the hustle and join us to discover the magic of rural Bali on our famous full day Bali Eco Educational Cycling Tour, suitable for all ages.

The original and authentic eco/educational cycling tour, this tour was designed to take the visitor to Bali away from the tourist areas and show them the Bali they want to see – ‘the real Bali’ and to learn about the Balinese culture in the process and that’s what we have been doing for the past nine years. This tour is now promoted in every guide book on Bali/Indonesia For guests who are confident on bicycles and want more of an adventure, we offer two alternatives: the full day East Bali Adventure program and the half day Ubud Eco Cycling & massage (available for sunrise cycling, morning/after breakfast, and afternoon/after lunch). As the terrain is more challenging, for this tour we only accept bookings for guests aged 13 to 55. Inquire about joining this program via email at baliecocycling@gmail.com or check out our booking calendar by following the links below to see what tours are already running.

Our daily Bali Eco Cycling program is very popular with families, we have even hosted four generations of one family on this tour. Your safety is our priority, with Australian-standard safety equipment for baby seats
After being picked up at your hotel we drive in an air conditioned car to Penelokan (Kintamani) where we breakfast overlooking the active volcano, Mt. Batur and its crater lake, enjoying the most stunning views in Bali.

A short drive after breakfast and we’re off on our mountain bikes through the heartland of Bali, travelling downhill on non tourist, secret back roads and minor village roads (with little traffic), experiencing typical Balinese daily life and enjoying the beautiful Balinese countryside to Ubud. We ride through lush forested areas, plantations full of Balinese staples and cash crops (cloves, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, tapioca, taro, local vegetables and exotic tropical fruits), through timeless small villages and lush rice paddy panoramas. And throngs of adorable Balinese children will be there calling out ‘hellos’ and wanting ‘high fives’ on the way down. If we chance upon a ceremony (and we often do) you will be invited to witness the events and our guides will offer explanations.

We show you a Bali other visitors never see and our experienced guides explain this amazing culture and the relationship the Balinese have with their beautiful island.

We have numerous stops on the way, including a visit to a Balinese home/compound, (where you get to see first hand how the Balinese live outside the tourist areas), a Balinese plantation (where you learn of the medicinal and culturally important uses of local plants, the process of making coffee and see many of the spices you have used in cooking and tropical fruits growing in their natural environment. We also get to sample many exotic tropical fruits, local herbal teas and coffees, including Coffee Luwak, the unusually produced and most expensive coffee in the world). We also stop off at a village temple, an enormous Banyan tree and stunning rice paddy panoramas. We go for a short walk in the rice paddies to see villagers planting and harvesting rice (you can join in) and see traditional craftsmen at work en route.

For athletic guests who want a cycling workout, we offer an optional 6 to 8km extra flat and uphill riding towards the end of the tour.

Lunch, served in our restaurant, set in the serene surr

d in Bali). We also cater for vegetarians and can accommodate children with special meals.

A Balinese family concern with Western family ties, we are the only company that can proudly offer western standards of safety, hygiene and sanitation. And those standards are the norm. Our groups are kept at a size of 8 or 10 (unless requests for a larger group) and we have a senior leading guide and a secondary guide at the rear of the group (unlike other tours). Our car also follows us down the mountain in case anyone is not feeling well.

After lunch you have an optional visit to the Ubud Monkey Forest and temple complex.

We are rather flexible with our tour and if you want less information and more riding we can accommodate you as well.

This tour is a full day tour as not just an adventure, but a cultural, ecological, learning and culinary experience!

All-inclusive tour rates vary by season and availability, see our booking calendar for the most up-to-date rates.

WE LOVE CHILDREN. Infant car seats are also available for use. As our car seats are limited, infants occupying child car seats will be charged at the price of a child.

Our team are happy to arrange to drop you off somewhere else to save you the cost of a hotel transfer. Just ask us when booking, if it's on the route we wouldn't charge you extra. If it means a detour or require a separate vehicle to be timely, we may add a small charge.

The best value in Bali by far!

Pick up time will be advised and we pick up from Ubud, Nusa Dua, Sanur, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak. We like to give you service, and hope you find that it means value for money and an experience you won't forget.

The Perfect Honeymoon In Bali

Roads unexplored: Sunburns, Bali kisses and more!

My explorations of Bali have left their mark on me – some scars, permanent sunburn and a perpetual craving for the warm, humid air of tropical mountains and oceans. I arrived in Bali entirely by chance and it was love at first sight.
