Bali MTB Boot Camp

Meet our representative on landing in Canggu airport. Please look for the sign with your name on it. The drive into Canggu from the airport takes approximately 30 minutes. There are no activities planned during the day and you have plenty of time to relax and recover from the journey.

Head out for a local meal in the evening and meet your fellow travelers as well as our team. The accommodation is located in the popular Batubolong area very close to the famous surfing spots of Canggu. There are lots of activities in this area along with good bars, beach clubs, small boutiques, great restaurants and amazing surf. Just keep in mind it is a big day tomorrow.

** For 2019, time permitting, we now include a visit to the Amplitude bike and pump track on Day 01 (optional). We will take dirt jump bikes with us as well. No worries if you are not an expert, it's just the perfect way to get the tour going! If you arrive late on Day 1 we can include this activity on Day 7 as well.

Time to hit the trails. We will start riding right from our accommodation and head inland towards the centrally located volcanoes. Although under the tourist radar, this area of Bali will simply take your breath away. Ride through charming local villages, paddy fields and mountain scenery.

The total cycling distance today is about 50 km and there is a lot of uphill with an easy gradient. The final destination of the day is the Unesco-listed paddy terraces of Jatiluwih. You will stay in a beautiful local hotel surrounded by volcanoes. What more can you want on your first day on the bike?

Total cycling distance: 50 km

Start the day with an early transfer from your hotel to the region of Bedugul located 1,400 m above sea level. The views from here over Lake Beratan, one of Bali's most famous lakes, are simply breathtaking. Let the adventure begin!

Make your way back to the coast through an amazing maze of single track. Every aspect of mountain biking is covered on this ride – a 45 km adrenaline rush with some of Bali's best singletrack.

The journey ends right at our accommodation, a beautiful resort in the middle of the countryside.

Total cycling distance: 45 km

Head for Bali's quiet north coast. A morning transfer will take you to the rim of Mount Batur's caldera. Ride on an amazing single track around the rim. Weather permitting, you will enjoy great views of an ocean on the one side and Batur, Abang, and Agung mountains on the other. There is also a 10 km section of rolling hills with a few short but steep climbs.

The final part of the ride is an amazing 16 km downhill rush from 1,600 m above sea level all the way to the ocean. Spend the night at a local accommodation in Tulamben right on the beach.

Total cycling distance: 35 km

Tulamben is one of the best places for diving and snorkeling in Bali. For those who are interested, there is an optional, early morning diving or snorkeling adventure that can be arranged through the hotel. The most famous sight here is the USAT Liberty Shipwreck from the Second World War.

The wreck lies a mere 30 m offshore, almost parallel to the beach. The shallowest part of the wreck where it touches the sand slope is between five to ten metres while the average depth along the middle is between 16 m to 20 m. You can still see guns, toilets, boilers, anchor chain, etc, and can even snorkel over the wreck as the highest point of the stern is just three metres below the surface.

Pack up at around 9:00 am and transfer in our support vehicle to the higher regions of the island. Time to ride down to the coast from the foot of Mount Abang. The ride starts with an amazing 12 km run through a few different tracks in the area. You can shuttle back up and ride another one after the first run. Then continue towards the coast through forests and paddy fields.

Transfer to your hotel in Ubud after the ride. Today's ride is more downhill orientated but nothing too technical and lots of fun.

Total cycling distance: 40 km

An early morning transfer will bring us to Mount Batur, our playground for the morning. Ride around the crater of the volcano, through a variety of terrain, while enjoying amazing views of Mount Batur, Lake Batur and Mount Abang. You may expect some of Bali's best single-track riding today!

We will transfer you back up to the rim after the lunch break. Cycle down the slopes of the volcano and through a wide mixture of terrain all the way down to Ubud (35 km) where this adventure ends. Stay overnight in Ubud in a beautiful resort located amid paddy fields.

Total cycling distance: 70 km

Your cycling trip has come to an end today. Please note that you will have to check out of the hotel by noon. We will transfer you back to the airport or to your next destination in Ubud's south. We hope you enjoyed the ride!
