About this tour
Descend through Bali's rural landscape on two wheels, stopping to cook with locals, explore rice paddies, and visit a working coffee plantation. This 6–7 hour guided ride combines cycling through villages with hands-on learning: you'll prep ingredients at a Balinese family home, watch how rice grows from seed to harvest, peek into a village school, and pay respects at a neighbourhood temple. Small groups mean you'll actually hear your guide over the engine noise. Lunch is what you've helped cook.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning pedalling downhill through quiet village paths, stopping to chat with locals and see how they live. The cooking class happens early—nothing complicated, just prepping vegetables and proteins alongside your host family in their open-air kitchen. Then you'll walk into terraced rice paddies to understand the growing cycle, visit a functioning coffee plantation to taste freshly roasted beans, and make a brief stop at a village school. Lunch is the food you've helped prepare, eaten communally at the family home. The afternoon involves gentler riding back to your hotel, with time to visit a local temple. Rain coats are provided if needed.
