Trip Informations
It’s all about two wheels in Bali, and this action-packed cycling trip takes in some of the island’s best spots in the highlands and on the coast. Hit the road in Ubud and wind your way south, into a world of lush green rice fields, smouldering volcanoes, family-run warungs, community projects, caves, temples and tiny villages. With the chilled-out beaches of Lovina and Sanur on the horizon, and a slew of adventure activities on offer throughout – such as a hike up Mt Batur – this is an unforgettable journey for cyclists and adventurers alike.
Why you’ll love this trip
Escape the tourist hordes and cycle through the island's heart, from the green hills of Ubud to the laidback beach towns of Lovina and Sanur.
Cycling’s not the only activity on offer. Take the chance to hike up Mt Batur, visit hidden caves, soak in hot springs, and enjoy some watersports on the coast
As well as beautiful temples, visit less-known villages such as Trunyan, whose astounding burial tradition makes use of a mysterious ‘magic tree’
Feast on the most authentic Balinese cuisine, prepared lovingly by unsung kitchen masters such as Lovina’s Bu Wayan
Relax and unwind on the unique black sand beaches of Lovina, the perfect place to rest your bones after a few days on the bike
By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Tuuur Foundation partner, World Bicycle Relief. Donations provide school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas with bicycles that provide access to education, healthcare, and income.
Is this trip right for you?
To complete this trip it is important that you are both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed).
This trip is designed for those who love to get active. While prior training may not be necessary, a moderate level of fitness will help you get the most out of the activities on this trip.
The optional hike to the Mt Batur crater is demanding and can vary a great deal depending on the weather. Be sure to bring strong, sturdy walking shoes.

1. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights apart from Night 3 (Kintamani) and Night 6 (Canggu) of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information. Please note that some room configurations have two single beds, although a double bed will always be requested.
2. Bicycle hire is included in your trip price. Please advise your height at time of booking so as we can organise a suitable sized bike.

4. On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g. a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker.

My first Intrepid trip and loved the whole experience. Ima was a very knowledgable guide and made the trip so much fun. Loved the variety of routes we took around the island, particular highlight over the lava fields, and the mountain bikes were great for the hills!

An amazing way to see Bali and get away from all the crowds and see the island for what it is. A beautiful place inhabited by some of the most friendly and welcoming people. I'd highly recommend this trip, just be prepared for hills and the hike up mount Batur is something.

Really special trip. Well organised and exciting. It is physically challenging, lots of hills. Some incredible scenery, glorious colour. Exceptional guide. Loved my fellow travellers- we had a fantastic group

This is a challenging trip and requires a 4/5 level of fitness at times with some significant hill climbs and confidence cycling on busy roads. Our tour leader Andy and his team were absolutely outstanding and overall we had a really great time. The hotels are 3* at best.

Cycle Bali is a great trip but you have to be prepared for some very challenging uphill and off road riding ( should be a 4 physical rating). Mountain bikes are used. The culture and customs are very interesting, the scenery beautiful and the people a delight. Our Leader Andy, mechanic Gede and drivers Made and Lilla were exceptional - I have never felt so cared for. Accommodation is all hotels ( good hotels) but Intrepid should have single supplement every night as sharing not necessary in hotels. I would definitely recommend this trip if you are fit enough ( but if you’re not you can travel in the support vehicle part of the way).

Awesome cycling tour through the wonderful Balinese countryside. Plenty of hills to test your fitness but also plenty of long downhill sections to enjoy the scenery. Loved it!

This trip will immerse you into so much of Bali because of all the areas where we went bike riding but be prepared that it is quite physically challenging.

I loved this trip. Our guide Andy was amazing and the country so lush with plants fruits and spices. Plz be aware there is climbing everyday, many short pinches and longer climbs so be prepared!
