About Bali Bike Baik Cycling Tours
Bali Bike Baik is a long-established downhill cycling tour operator based in Ubud, recommended by Lonely Planet, The Rough Guide, and consistently top-rated on TripAdvisor. Founded and led by local guide Wayan, the company runs daily Kintamani-to-Ubud descents that trade the typical tourist-bus experience for genuine immersion in rural Balinese life.
The signature tour begins with a hotel pickup and drive up to the Kintamani volcano caldera, where guests take in views of Mount Batur and Lake Batur before beginning a 25-kilometre mostly downhill ride through the countryside. Stops along the way include a walk through working rice paddies to learn traditional irrigation methods, a visit to a Balinese coffee plantation, and an introduction to Hindu temple culture in a small village. The tour finishes with a home-cooked lunch in Wayan's family compound — a genuinely local experience rather than a restaurant setup.
What makes Bali Bike Baik stand out from the dozens of cycling operators around Ubud is the personal touch. Wayan and his small team keep groups intimate, adjust the pace to suit riders, and share candid stories about Balinese daily life that larger tour companies simply cannot replicate. The bikes are well-maintained mountain bikes with disc brakes, and helmets are provided for all riders.
