About this tour
A demanding 7–8 hour mountain bike descent from Mount Batur's crater rim down through lava fields towards Ubud. You'll tackle over 25 kilometres of technical single track, dropping from the volcanic plateau past Lake Batur and Mount Abang, then threading through the raw terrain of the volcano's most recent eruption. A support vehicle, experienced guide and full suspension bikes handle logistics so you focus on the ride.
Highlights
- Ride the crater rim with dual volcano and ocean views
- Technical single track through dense forest sections
- Steep descent on broken tarmac into the caldera
- Mountain bike through active lava flow zones
- Support vehicle, guide and full suspension setup included
What to expect
Expect an early morning pickup and transfer to Mount Batur's rim, where the real climbing is minimal—this is mostly a descent. The first section is exhilarating but unforgiving: tight single track through tall grass and woodland, with exposure to steep drop-offs. The steep tarmac descent tests your braking control before you enter the caldera floor. The final stretch through the lava landscape is otherworldly, navigating rocky, uneven ground where lava once flowed. Bring strong legs and mental stamina; this isn't a leisure ride.
