Ubud Guided Cycling Tour of Villages and Rice Fields with Lunch

Cycle through Ubud's villages and rice terraces on a mostly downhill 20 km guided tour with a support vehicle and local visits.

Getting started

If you select a tour with transfers, your day begins with hotel pickup and drop-off from either Ubud, Gianyar, or South Bali hotels, as per your chosen option. Opt for the meeting point variant, and you will start at the designated assembly point instead. After meeting your experienced cycling guide, you are matched with a high-quality mountain bike and safety helmet, then briefed on the mostly downhill route.

What to expect

Ubud countryside cycling route

Ride an about 20 km cycling route through the Ubud countryside, suitable for most fitness levels, including families with older children. With the path mostly downhill, you can focus on the scenery as you move from higher ground into village and rice field landscapes.

Features

• The cycling tour through villages and rice terraces lets you pedal past traditional homes, small temples, and emerald rice fields while experiencing everyday rural life around Ubud at a relaxed pace.
• A high-quality mountain bike and safety helmet are provided so you can navigate changing terrain comfortably, while an expert cycling guide leads the way and manages the pace for the group.
• A support vehicle follows the group for safety and can pick you up if you prefer to skip a section, which helps keep the about 20 km route accessible even if your energy dips.
• Mineral water and snacks are included along the way so you can stay hydrated and refuel between segments of the mostly downhill ride.

Coffee plantation, temple, and local home

Along the route, you stop to explore a coffee plantation, visit a local temple, and step inside a Balinese home. These pauses shift the focus from cycling to conversation and observation.

Features

• At the coffee plantation, you walk through the grounds and see how beans are grown and processed in the region before continuing your cycling tour through villages and rice terraces.
• The visit to a temple gives you time off the bike to look at the shrine layout and observe how a village religious space is organized, with your expert cycling guide on hand to answer questions.
• Inside the local home, you can see the courtyard-style layout and household shrines that shape daily routines, adding context to the villages you ride through.
• All entrance fees for the coffee plantation, temple, and local home are included, so you can join each stop without handling tickets or extra payments.

Local restaurant lunch stop

After completing the main cycling sections, you pause at a local restaurant before transfers or independent departure, depending on your chosen option.

Features

• Lunch at a local restaurant is included, giving you time to sit down, cool off, and talk through highlights from the route with your group and guide.
• Mineral water is available with lunch, and any additional food and drinks beyond what is provided can be purchased separately if you wish.
• A rain jacket is provided if needed during the day, so even an unexpected shower need not interrupt your journey to the lunch stop or your time at the table.
• Round-trip transfers are included for guests who selected a transport option, while the private tour for 2-6 guests per vehicle variant keeps your group size compact from hotel pickup through to post-lunch drop-off.
