Half-day Ubud Rice Field And Village Cycling Tour

We loved the tour. Our guide Sujaya was excellent. We saw a side of Bali we wouldn't have seen otherwise. The scenery was stunning and we learnt a lot about the local culture going through the villages. Highly recommend Sujaya!

What a fantastic cycling tour. Our guide Sujaya was the best! We felt like we got to see the real Bali. Challenging and rewarding. Highlight of our Bali experience. 🙂

Truly fabulous! Our driver Bagus and Angoong our guide were amazing!!! A true insight into the culture of Bali. I would highly recommend. This trip to everyone!

Incredibly friendly guide, and the tour was perfect. We even got a crazy amount of tea/coffee to try on the plantation..

A group girlfriends and I absolutely loved this experience. We were picked up from our villa in Canggu right on time by our legend driver Bagus who was very informative and kicked off the experience with good vibes and great sense of humour. It was a great experience traveling to Ubud and seeing the different villages / buildings on the way and learning so much about the Balinese culture. We had the opportunity to taste locally sourced coffee and tea, of which we then had the opportunity to purchase our favourite in the gift shop. We then set off on a 20km bike ride as a private group throughout the local villages surrounding Ubud. Safety was of utmost importance and our tour guide reassured us of this and made the experience fun and exciting. Throughout the bike ride, Bagus followed nearby in the car for safety and support and took photos. We visited the rice fields in Ubud and had the opportunity to zip line. We then finished up with a locally prepared lunch in the village, which we all loved. After this concluded, we were taken back to our villa. Overall, great experience and cannot recommend Bagus and this experience enough! We all had the best time and it was definitely a highlight from our trip. Will definitely be back ! :)

We had the best time with Bagus and Eddy! They were great tour guides. Ensuring we were safe and enjoying ourselves the whole tour! We were on an Australian girls trip. They took 8 of us for a 20km bike ride through Ubud rice fields. Prior to the bike ride we tried local tea and coffee and during the bike ride we visited the iconic Ubud rice fields chair swing, here we went zip lining and took some amazing photos. We had the best time and highly recommend this tour! Couldn’t recommend them enough!!

It was such a good experience . sujaya and eddie who made sure that of our safety and brought so much fun to the trip. The food after the tour was amazing too and everything was well taken care of by the organisers. Had fun and definitely recommend

It wa such a unique and must do activity so fun we really enjoyed. Specials thanks to sujaya and eddie who made sure that of our safety and brought so much fun to the trip.

Absolutely awesome ! Thank you for a great experience! To all you travelling explorers , a must do adventure!

We absolutely loved this experience couldn’t recommend more! Transportation was amazing from our hotel and up through Ubud to our starting point, bike riding through the mountains, rice fields and seeing the local villages and temples Our instructor Eddie was amazing teaching us new things along the way alongside our amazing driver Ida Bagus Sujaya very patient and kind then an organised local lunch which was very exciting to try plus transportation back to our hotel overall 10/10

Great experience and friendliest guide. Saw the other side to Bali by bike. We saw amazing rice fields visited locals in their homes and enjoyed a well guided day.

We had a wonderful Cycling Tour with our guide Bagus. He was very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour. He took great care of our safety as we rode along through the beautiful landscapes and we thoroughly recommend him as a guide. Agus our driver was always close by also if needed. It was Bagus Sekali 😊 Thank u 🙏

Bachus our guide was super friendly, helpfull and learned us so much about the religion and local life on Bali. Visiting some farms, local family house and som artists was realy what we loved to explore in Bali. The ricefieldviews and nature were breathtaking!

We enjoyed cycling through small villages and rice fields. Very beautiful. Our guide, Sajaya, was friendly, and the included lunch was very good. The bike and helmet equipment were fine. The visit to a traditional family home was also very good. However, this is not a ride for new riders of mountain bikes. There are some short uphills and downhills on paved roads for which you need some familiarity with shifting gears and some strength. It is mostly level or downhill though. More significantly, the ride through the rice paddies was often narrow (single track). There are some ruts and uneven ground. You are right next to irrigation ditches and rice paddies. Three riders in the group ended up falling into the ditch or paddies and were soaked with mud and water. One more fell in a narrow, rough section and was banged up--a minor injury, fortunately. So... this is a really fun ride that is worth the cost and effort, but make sure you are a confident, capable rider. My suggestion for the tour guide is to assess the skill level of the riders early in the ride. I could tell from the start that some riders would have difficulty.

We had a lovely half day cycling tour through beautiful and peaceful countryside with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The cycling was 90% downhill so easy to relax and take in the surroundings. We stopped at a traditional house and rice field where the guide gave us interesting insights into local culture. We ended the cycle with lunch in a picturesque spot overlooking the rice field. Highly recommended!

A great tour, we saw loads of parts of Bali we wouldn’t have been able to see on our own. Tour guide Eddie and driver (sorry, we’re bad with names!) were both funny, polite and very very knowledgable. Highly recommend to anyone!

Was a great tour and we really enjoyed travelling through the villages and rice field! Great experience and the tour guides were friendly, experienced and good sense of humour

A great time, well worth the effort, Gus our guide was great and Bargus was also fantastic. The weather and experience was great

Eddie was a funny, friendly and helpful guide and this was a great way to see the Balinese countryside and rice terraces. Eddie made sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes. They had different routes available depending on our riding ability. They were extremely flexible and wanted to make sure our day was exactly as we imagined. It also included a delicious lunch and a quick stop at a coffee plantation at the start. This tour was a really special experience - a must do in Bali!

The guys were really accommodating took us to amazing back scenery explained the cultures and told us what to do and engage. It was beautiful and amazing experience. I think they should charge more as they are genuinely underpaid for what they provide. Thank you so much.

Highly recommend this tour, we had such a great day seen some amazing side of Bali. Can’t express enough how much we enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide’s Bagus and Arak were absolutely fantastic!!! Informative about everything, great sense of humour and just nice guys! Loved this tour!

Cycling through the rice fields was so pretty, and this tour was a great way to see some local villages. Our guide stopped and shared knowledge about the trees, fruits, and so many different things, an awesome way to learn more about the Balinese

The entire ride was amazing: the route, pace (tailored for your difficulty level), lunch spot, guide

We booked a half day tour cycling tour around Tagallalang rice terrace. Our tour guides Pak Eddy and Pak Bagus are experienced and passionate cyclists. We had a fun 13km ride weaving in and out of paddy fields and enjoying the fresh morning air around the traditional kampongs. Pak Eddy was also very flexible in allowing us to take our time to stop and take pictures whenever we like. The tour includes a brief trip to the kopi luwak cafe where you can see how traditional coffees were made from scratch. The cafe also boasts a beautiful view from the hillside overlooking rice terraces. We finished the tour with a lunch at a small village restaurant amongst the paddy field.

We had such an amazing time! Beautiful scenery, learnt so much about the Balinese culture and traditions. Eddie was a great guide, good English language skills and full of laughs. Best experience we had in Bali.

Eddie and Sujaya were absolutely incredible! We were taken along such a cool route, so nice to get out of the tourist spots to learn about the culture and traditions. They spoke such great English, very easy to communicate with a lot of laughs. They made sure we were topped up with water bottles in our holders on our bikes. We had a delicious lunch over looking rice paddy fields, very friendly staff. Thank you so much Eddie and Sujaya, we had the best time and by far my best experience in Bali yet. Remember that room for us when we are back next Eddie 😉🤣

Highly recommend this cycling trip!! All the cycling trips we researched appeared to be very similar so it really comes down to the guide to make the experience. Eddy and Sujaya were awesome, really personable, funny, knowledgeable and highly organised! A must do :)

We had a great time with the half day bike ride trip. Our guide Sujaya and Eddy planned the trip based on our riding ability. They have good local knowledge and explained the Balinese culture along the way. The route has very nice village and rice field view. We stopped at a coffee plantation farm with very nice Mountain View, and a swing park where you can do flying fox over a rice field valley. Overall, an excellent experience. I would definitely recommend our friends to take this tour when they visit Bali.

Amazing experience! Booked for 3 initially and added another 6 last minute with multiple pickups. It was seamless! Bike ride and scenery was awesome with bonus of coffee plantation and visit to local family compound. The guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. Thoroughly recommend!

Good driver and guide..rained a bit but was very enjoyable. Saw a lot, easy riding. Good lunch at finish of tour.

2 fit older ladies from Alaska found Bagus’ tours out of Ubud and you should check them out. His partner “Eddy” was our bicycle guide and was very considerate about our level of ability (fairly high — but we’re not interested in racing or anything!) and our safety. Decent bikes with helmets and gloves were provided. Water was provided. A truly delicious lunch at the end was offered in a gorgeous Warung set right next to a lush green rice paddy. Fresh veggies with tasty spicing. We stopped first at a fascinating demo plantation including civets pooping coffee beans and many tea varieties. A sample of 12 delicious teas was offered to start off our trip. Bagus and Eddy figured out a perfect route for us — first leading us on well maintained cement paths through various rice fields in a few different communities. We would stop on occasion to take in a family temple and learn about local traditions. Eddy is quite the philosopher; authentically hospitable and greateful for his culture which strives to continue to live in harmony with the earth, and with all other people. Next we went up and down manageable hills on paved roads through small carving and agricultural communities. It was nice to be out of Ubud traffic and get a sense of life in the villages. Bagus has developed many different cycling and trekking tours in more rural areas around Ubud. Contact him at HireUbudDrived. Five stars. Highly recommended.

We loved our tour through Bali rice fields and tours including a visit to a coffee plantation where we were able to sample 12 different types of tea and coffee. We also saw the palm civet which is famous for the Kopi Lawak and had the option to try it. Following we cycled through rice fields and on quiet roads through villages. Our guides were kind, funny and very informative and we felt really well cared for. Our bikes worked well both on dirt paths and paved roads. We finished with a tasty traditional linch(both of us are vegetarian and they had options for us). This was such a fun trip and we also got some exercise. Would Definitely recommend and do again!

My family and I had a wonderful time on this half-day cycling tour starting from an area north of Ubud. The ride is mostly downhill through small country roads and partially on the main road. Traffic is light in this area so it felt safe, even for our 10 year old son. Some highlights included a tea/coffee tasting, a stop at a traditional Balinese house (met a talking bird at this house), lunch by a rice field, and our final destination at Tegalalong Rice Terrace where you’ll be able to spend time to walk around the terrace and take some amazing photos at this famous rice terrace. Our guides Sujaya and Mika went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and safe. They did a nice job explaining Balinese culture, so we received a history lesson and had many nice conversations. Going with them felt like a tour with friends in Bali. Thank you for a fun day!

Very recommended! The guides were very professional and nice. The tour was amazing, very authentic among all the most beautiful spots.

Amazing expereiance to discover the country side with the rice fields and the village. The organisation was perfect: flexible, aware and so professionnel. Bravo to the team!

We had been in Bali for 5 days before we took this tour and had one other very good Bali tour and one really bad one (with different companies). The tours took us to great places but, were all a bit more touristy than we wanted. This tour was like a breath of fresh air and we LOVED all of it. The company did pick us up from our villa quite a ways away from the tour start which was great. We had a few issues with the driver and the company immediately addressed it and had a different driver take us home after the tour. It was great that they listened and adapted. After that however, we were SO pleased, there were NO concerns. Our guide Sujaya met us with all the bikes and equipment, made sure everyone's gear worked and fit properly and adjusted the bikes for us. It ended up being just the 4 of us ranging from 10-72 in our group. He then took us in back roads and through rice terraces with stops and 4th generation wood craving place and a coffee plantation. We had mentioned our previous tours and desire to avoid the crowds and he definitely answered. The places he took us to and the scenery we passed was EXACTLY what we hoped, traditional Bali unspoiled and without 100 people taking their perfect instagram picture. The coffee plantation he took us to was in the hills and quiet. We had to walk through a bamboo forest to get there and once there, the view was amazing. Majority of the ride is downhill with a few uphill stretches. I do agree with previous reviews that parts of the rice fields are a little narrow and hard to balance if you aren't at least a intermediate level rider so, a decent amount of bike skill is recommended. But, riding through the fields was also some of the best parts of the tour for sure. Our guide was very knowledgable and friendly/happy. He was patient and safety conscious throughout the tour. He even stopped the tour and had us go out to the rice fields with the workers and we got to learn (and do) a bit of the harvesting. This was definitely the best tour we took in Bali.

This bike tour is highly recommended! Besides a very friendly guidance a guide with humor and knowledge! For anyone who wants to cycle in Ubud, do this trip!!! Family Dennis de Vré (5p)

Highly recommended was a fantastic cultural experience right from the start with our friendly and informative Driver Kantun through to our cycle guide Mardi. Well done guys!!

My friends and I had an awesome time on this tour yesterday, it was just the three of us! Our driver, Kantun, was very prompt and provided us with information regarding the local area on the way. He has also been the best and safest driver we have had during our stay in Bali. Our guide for the cycling tour was also great and helped us whenever we had trouble with the bike or required multiple water breaks. He also answered all of our questions regarding local traditions and customs.

A fantastic experience! Accompanied by our guide, by bike, downhill through nature, rice fields and villages. Away from the urban bustle in the quiet of the countryside. With a delicious lunch as a reward.
