Must do experience! - The cycling experience was AMAZING! The pick up from our villa was super helpful. Our breakfast was wonderful and authentic with an awesome view…we also had lunch there as our tour ended. Cycling through neighborhoods, rice fields, visiting real homes/compounds was an opportunity I felt blessed to be a participant of. This is a great way to see off the beaten paths of beautiful Bali…and our tour guide was simply wonderful. Without hesitation, I would recommend this tour to all friends and family, I would even take this tour again. 10/10 experience!

Exceeded all expectations, such a fun day - This was an awesome day. From our hotel pick up to our return it was seamless. Kadek our driver was on time and we left Legian area at 7:30 am arrived at the meeting spot, a small restaurant close to Ubud around 9. Our guide met us there, his name was Kadek also. He told us about our days itinerary. Then after a small breakfast we continued onto a coffee plantation and were given a tour and tasting of about 12 different types/styles of coffee. They were all surprisingly delicious and we all enjoyed the experience. Purchased a couple of samples and then back into the van and up to a Kintamani viewpoint. A few photos and then we drove another 5-10 minutes arriving at our start point. A quick run through of the bikes, brakes and gears and we were off. Kadek and Putu (tail guide) began along a quiet road, all downhill and easy. Kadek, the driver and the bike truck also followed as support vehicles and even took one of our kids for a short leg while he regrouped and took a break. We encountered very little traffic (mainly scooters and local villagers) as we descended through fields of vegetables (cabbage, chilies, oranges and marigold flowers). Very nice indeed. We took a few short breaks for water and also to see a local temple and a traditional house complex. Played with the dogs and kittens. The kids were loving it. Then as we dropped into lower elevations the rice paddies began. It was amazingly beautiful, with palm fringed paddies and more easy downhill trails. We eventually popped out onto the road again and had to climb a short hill. Only 3 hills on the entire ride and this was the largest, maybe 250 meters and completely manageable. From this point we were on a busier road but still very minimal compared to any main roads in the area. We were still cruising downhill right to the end point. Then back into the van, back to the starting restaurant for lunch, Nasi campur and ice cream or fruit for dessert. I ate 3 plates (finished the kids plates), it was great. At this point we said goodbye to the guides Kadek and Putu, jumped back in the bus and headed back to Legian. Most of us slept on the way home. Arrived back at 4:30, it was a full day but honestly one of the best experiences we could’ve asked for. Very fun and a glimpse into true Balinese life.
So worth it and completely manageable to people without a tonne of biking experience.
Thanks to both Kadeks and Putu. You guys made it a wonderful day. Terima Kasih.

Bali Natural Cycling - We Loved this Experience! The Bali Natural Cycling Tour is more than just a bike ride; it's a gateway to the island's authentic soul. Highly recommended for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of South Bali's tourist hubs and see how the locals truly live. The combination of stunning volcanic views and peaceful village scenery makes it a 10/10 experience Nature Lovers.

Soul searching experience - Review for Amara Bali Family Tour;
Dear Amara Bali Family Tour Team,
My brother and I would like to say terima kasih
(thank you) for the wonderful experience we had during the natural downhill cycling tour and Mt Batur visit.
Everything was beautifully organised from beginning to end.
Being collected by your driver, enjoying the breakfast and lunch provided, and cycling through the villages and rice fields made the whole day very special for both of us.
We would especially like to thank Kedek, who was a very patient, gracious and informative host.
His kindness and knowledge made the journey even more enjoyable, and we appreciated the way he shared the culture and spirit of Bali with us.
We also truly enjoyed the nourishing meals that were prepared for us during the tour.
Thank you again for taking such good care of us...🙏
Bali is a very special place, and experiences like this make it even more memorable.
We will happily recommend Amara Bali Family Tour to friends who visit Bali in the future.
Warm regards,
Carlos and Alexie...🌄🏞⛰️

An Amazing Day in Ubud - WE LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCh GUYS.
These people are amazing. I learned so much from them, and they were patient, kind, and incredibly respectful. I'm 63, and my 65-year-old husband, Kadek, our guide, treated us like his own parents. Honestly, I rarely write reviews like this before. But this time I have to because I had such an amazing experience beyond what we expected. Not only the cultural and natural experiences, but also the social life really touched my heart. I felt like part of their family. We hope this family business succeeds. We're sure it will because they're so amazing. We promise to recommend this family tour. Good luck, and we wish you all the best.

What an awesome day - What an amazing experience. Right from pickup to drop-off we had a wonderful time. Our first stop was for a delightful breakfast followed by a visit to a coffee plantation where we sampled both teas and coffees prepared in different ways. Exceptional and incredibly interesting. Next we travelled on to the volcano lookout, where we could easily see where lava had flowed down the side of the volcano into the caldera. Following this we travelled to our cycling start point. This included visiting a temple a family home and rice fields. We are both of an age where physical activity is no longer a strong point, but we were pleasantly surprised to find we spent most of the time braking! Huge shout out to Kadek for his explanations help and obvious delight in sharing his wealth of knowledge about his country.

Authentic insight into the real Bali - you will not be disappointed! - An authentic insight into rural Bali whilst taking a leisurely (mostly downhill) bike ride. We had a super guide Kadek, who was such fun, passionate about his culture and very informative. We took in several activities including visiting Mount Batur, a tea/coffee plantation, a local temple, a typical village house and the rice paddy fields, not rushed and very peaceful and enjoyable. We had a delicious breakfast and lunch and the bikes/helmets were well maintained. We're so glad we did this trip as it showed us the side if Bali not overrun with tourists.

A leisurely cycle through rural Bali - away from the crowds! - This was a truly delightful tour (approx 8 hours including pick-up/drop off) seeing the natural rural villages and beautiful scenery on our ride! Kadek is a really super guide who was informative about the local culture and traditions. He was safety aware and we were not rushed at all, he encouraged us to take photos and take our time exploring a local Balinese home where we were made to feel very welcome. Kadek speaks excellent English, has a great sense of humour and showed us a part of Bali that was peaceful and away from the usual tourist spots, which we really appreciated. There were several elements to the tour including visiting Mount Batur and its lovely views, tea/coffee tasting at a local plantation, delicious breakfast and lunch included, a stop at a local temple, a traditional home and an easy cycle through the rice paddy fields. Its all done at a leisurely pace and you will not be disappointed!!

a great experience cycling tour Ubud - If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Ubud, this is a great alternative for experiencing authentic Balinese life. You'll cycle through villages, numerous temples, and beautiful rice paddies. The ride isn't too strenuous—it's mostly downhill, and for most of the route you'll barely need to pedal.

Totally worth it - I actually didn't end up going as my kidneys got infected a few days before the cycling, but I'm leaving a 5 star review because of the kindness and care from the family who runs this tour. To be far from home and have someone send kind messages when I cancelled was really sweet. Really excited to try this tour next time.
