About this experience
This is the longest 1 day ride that we have. An early transfer will bring us to Mount Batur, our playground for the morning.
We will ride around on the rim of the caldera of the volcano on a wide mixture of terrain with amazing views of Mount Batur, Lake Batur and Mount Abang. You may expect some of Bali's best single track riding with views of the ocean on one side and the volcano on the other!
Please be aware of the tall grass and the tight single track through the woods. After a steep decent on a broken up tarmac road we end up inside the caldera where we ride towards the lake.
We will end up mountain biking through the lava stream where the latest eruption happened, a truly amazing experience. This is where the first 25km of the ride finishes.
