Time to hit the trails! No need to pack up today as we will ride all the way back to our charming accommodation in Canggu. An early transfer will bring us to the Mount Batu Karu (2276m), this area of Bali is not frequently visited by western tourist but will simply take your breath away. Today’s ride can be 30km long or for those up for a challenge we can ride the full 45km. Both options are possible. After the ride we can visit the famous Tanah Lot Temple. One of Bali’s most beautiful temples build on a rock in the ocean, at high tide the sea surrounds the temple. That’s two world heritage sites in one day! Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and Tanah Lot Temple. What more can you want for your first day. (B L)
Day 3 | Amed | cycle 40km
Today we pack up and go. For the next two nights we will be staying at Bali’s quiet North East Coast. Amed is a stretch of quaint beach side fishing villages stretching for about 10km along the dry and rugged northeastern coast of Bali. It’s a world away from the busy tourist center in the South of Bali. Today’s ride is more trail orientated, we start riding from Mount Abang and make our way down to the coast – a true mountain bike adventure. (B L)
Day 4 | Amed | snorkeling and cycling
Today we head out for an included half day snorkeling adventure to a Japanese shipwreck just off the coast! The snorkeling and diving in Amed are fantastic, with live coral, an abundance of fish and crystal clear waters at many of the beaches — this is a major reason that people come to the area. For those who can’t get enough of the riding the bikes and we have a great 3 hour ride in this area along a beautiful coastal roads with the most amazing views, just be aware it’s very hilly in this area.

We start with an early transfer from our hotel to the higher regions of the island, the volcanic core of the island. For here we will start riding mostly downhill from 1600m above sea level all the way back down to the lower grounds. The scenery will simply take your breath away. We will ride through some of the most beautiful parts of the island. There is no doubt about it. Today’s ride is a real highlight! After the ride we will transfer by car into Ubud. (B L)
