Escape the hustle and bustle and join us, to discover the 'magic' and, feel the 'spirit' of rural Bali, on our famous Eco/Educational Cycling Tour (Suitable for all ages, we also have Australian Standard Approved Baby Seats).

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.

Batur and its crater lake, enjoying the most stunning views in Bali. Here there will be an opportunity to take some fantastic photos before riding 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 on route 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 we will ride to 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 will show you a Bali other visitors never see and our experienced guides will 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 firsthand 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 most unusually produced and most expensive coffee in the world). We will also stop off at a village temple, an enormous Banyan tree and see stunning rice paddy panoramas. We will 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.

Lunch, served in a restaurant, set in the serene surrounds of rice paddies, is a delectable Balinese feast, including the smoked duck/chicken the guide books rave about. We also cater for vegetarians and can accommodate children with special meals.
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.

This tour is a full day tour (though, we can cater for time requirements) and we like to describe it as not just an adventure, but a cultural, ecological, learning and culinary experience! We promise you won't be disappointed!

Afterwards we will return to the hotel , and you will have free time to wander around in Ubud. Our tour guides will give alerts about potential Balinese dance performances to enjoy during the evenings.

Due to the exciting and erotic nature of the dance, it is the most popular dance in Bali (especially loved by men !) , and is only performed during temple festivals and in particular by the termination of a successful rice harvest .
