I haven't cycled in a while. Is this tour too difficult?

Not at all! The tour is designed to be enjoyable, not strenuous. It's almost all downhill on quiet roads, so you can focus on the scenery. Our guides are very patient and will go at a pace that is comfortable for the whole group.

What is the main difference between the morning and afternoon tours?

The Morning Tour is a vibrant daylight experience focused on the scenery and culture, concluding with lunch. The Afternoon Tour allows you to see the landscape in the beautiful late-afternoon light and includes the truly unique and magical experience of watching fireflies after your dinner.

Is this tour suitable for children?

Yes, it's a wonderful family activity! We recommend a minimum age of 8 years old, provided your child is a confident cyclist. The gentle pace and frequent interesting stops keep it engaging for younger riders.

What kind of cultural sites will we visit?

We take you beyond the main tourist trail to see authentic places like the historic Gunung Raung temple, the sacred White Ox sanctuary in Taro village, and inside a real Balinese family home to see how we live.

What happens if it rains?

Light, refreshing rain is common in Bali and usually doesn't stop the tour; we can provide rain ponchos. In the case of very heavy or unsafe weather, we will contact you to either reschedule or offer a refund.
