About this tour
Rent a mountain bike and pedal through the volcanic landscape around Mount Batur, an active volcano in Bali's Kintamani region. Located just an hour from Ubud, this self-guided cycling lets you explore lava fields and backcountry terrain most visitors miss. Choose your own duration from 1 to 8 hours and ride at your pace through the caldera beside Lake Batur, Bali's largest lake.

What to expect
You'll collect your bike, helmet and lock, then head out independently to explore the volcanic terrain around Kintamani. The landscape is raw—dark lava fields, sparse vegetation, and dramatic elevation changes. Terrain is uneven and technical in spots; you'll need solid bike handling skills and reasonable fitness. The area is genuinely quiet, especially compared to Ubud's crowds. Bring sun protection and expect a physical workout; this isn't a leisurely pedal.
Good to know
Requires moderate fitness minimum. Not suitable if pregnant, recovering from spinal issues, or with cardiovascular concerns. No young children. Bring your own snacks; water refill stations are available. Roads can be rough; a decent mountain or hybrid bike is essential.
