Description

Discover two sides of Bali in one active day: the cool volcanic highlands of Kintamani and the sacred Pakerisan River. This tour links a mostly downhill bike ride with a fun river tubing session, connected by an easy route from the mountains down to the river. Your day begins with a pickup from your hotel in a private car. Drive up to the Kintamani highlands, where you meet your cycling guide, get your bike and helmet fitted, and join a short safety briefing. The cycling part is a shared small-group ride with other guests. Then, start your ride. For about 2 hours, cruise mostly downhill along quiet village roads through the countryside of central Bali. Stop at flower gardens where farmers grow the flowers used in daily Balinese offerings, and visit a highland orange orchard. Pass through peaceful villages and step inside a traditional Balinese family compound, where your guide explains how local families live, pray and work together. When school is in session, you may also make a short, respectful stop at a local kindergarten or elementary school. Your ride ends in Tampaksiring, where you enjoy lunch with a view over the rice fields. After lunch, it is only a 5-minute drive to the Pakerisan River tubing point. Put on your helmet and life jacket, get a safety briefing from the tubing team, and float down the Pakerisan River in your own tube for about 1 hour. Drift past lush jungle, rock walls and gentle rapids on a river that is sacred to the Balinese people. After tubing, take time to change your clothes, then relax in your private car on the way back to your hotel. Because the route is mostly downhill, you do not need to be a strong cyclist, but you should be able to ride a bicycle confidently. No tubing experience is needed.
