This is a fantastic cycling trip around Bali and Java - two beautiful islands in Indonesia. The Exodus team of guides/driver were brilliant and ensured that everything ran very smoothly. They often went above and beyond. The cycling is great - each ride different but equally stunning. Be prepared for a lot of uphill climbing, but this also means a lot of very fun down hill rides! Some of which are very steep. Because of how many climbs there are on this trip (especially day 2 and day 7 that are very difficult), I would argue this trip should be graded as Moderate/Challenging. There are also a few off-road rides (mostly on the last day). There is an optional ride in the afternoon of day 2 around Batur volcano; our expectations of the challenging terrain on this ride were not quite set accurately enough. Although beautiful, it is incredibly challenging and was harder than expected. It should be made clear that this is definitely optional and should only really be done if you are an advanced cyclist. Cycling 9 days in a row without a rest break is quite tiring, but each day brings a new highlight. The itinerary, overall, is very good. Trekking up to the top of Ijen volcano is amazing, as is snorkelling in northern Bali. Every accommodation is amazing in its own way - camping on the beach was absolutely incredible! An experience I won't forget. This was one of my favourite cycling trips and I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Be part of this fully supported mountain bike trip and enjoy the best cycling trails of Bali in seven days along with some of the most famous highlights on the island. Meet your group members in Canggu. Hop on your bike and hit the trail to Jatiluwih, followed by Bedugul, Mount Abang and Mount Batur.
Five days in a row on a bike can be a bit of a challenge, specially if the track has a lot of variety, and we do not recommend this trip to the uninitiated. But for those who have enough experience, this trip is sure to be a memorable journey.
Pedal through tracks that run uphill, plunge downhill and are everything else in between. Ride around the rim of Mount Batur's caldera on a single track with an ocean on the one side and volcanic mountains on the other and hurtle downhill for 35 km from the volcanic mountain all the way to Ubud.
After the rides, there is time to explore around the destinations, relax on the beach or just chill out with your newfound friends. Please scroll down to go through the itinerary.
