Jatiluwih to the Sea

We will commence our adventure at Jatiluwih, which translates to 'amazing beauty'. Our private car will transport you to the base of Mount Batukaru (2,270m) at an altitude of 950m. Following that, we will provide you with a safety briefing and help you prepare your bike before embarking on a ride through some of the most awe-inspiring scenery on the island. The rice paddies are arranged in terraces that follow the natural contours of the land and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site for preserving Balinese farming traditions.

Experience the ultimate bike ride as you descend from an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level towards the picturesque coastal town of Canggu. Although the initial section of the ride has many rolling hills, the breathtaking coastline and legendary surf break at Canggu make this ride an unforgettable adventure. If you possess a regular biking routine and a decent level of fitness, then this ride is an ideal match for you. The 45km ride covers small roads, back tracks, and serene single tracks between the lush green rice paddy fields. This bike ride was the first one we designed back in 2010 and still stands as one of the best adventures Bali has to offer.

Review

I have done the Jatiluwih to the Sea trip twice now and absolutely loved it both times. The ride is challenging, but not too difficult. The scenery is out of this world, and you get to see parts of Bali that most people don't ever get to see. The company is first class, providing great guides, yummy local snacks, and good support all around. I highly recommend this company and this trip!
