Black lava field.
Pine forest single-track.
When did you last ride at the foot of an active volcano — across the lava itself? Mt Batur, full throttle, a live volcano rising above you. Almost nowhere on Earth gives you this. Half day or full day, private group, beginner to expert — we match the bike and pace to you.
Where you'll ride.
Mt Batur is an active stratovolcano. The black-lava field is from the 1963 eruption — fast, hard-packed, with a thin layer of volcanic sand on top. The pine forest above was planted in the 1970s to stabilise the slopes.
Active stratovolcano · two craters · last eruption 2000.
Planted in the 1970s to stabilise the slopes · sandy soil, tight turns, root sections — the technical contrast to the open lava.
From the 1963 eruption · fast, open, no speed limit · prime riding for warm-up + pace.
Mt Batur is alive — and you ride right at its foot, across the black lava it left behind. Open ground, hard-packed, fast: you can really let it run out here, a live volcano rising above you. Riding across solidified lava at the foot of Mt Batur is the kind of thing you do once and never stop talking about. Then the ground changes — the Kintamani forest blends cool pine with tropical jungle growth, sandy soil, tight turns, root sections — and the single-track in here is pure fun. Two completely different rides in one day.
“How often do you ride at the foot of a live volcano — across the lava itself? Almost nowhere on Earth gives you this.”
Beginner to expert.
The lava field starts open and forgiving — room to find your rhythm before the forest tightens up. Total beginners ride it; so do experts chasing the technical lines. The guide reads your level and shapes the day around it, so the volcano works whether it's your first off-road day or your hundredth.
The guide matches the pace and route to your level.
Pick your bike.
Ride any bike in the fleet — the choice is yours. From the KLX to the KTM 300 EXC, KTM 350, YZ 250 or Ducati 450, we pair you to the right machine on a brief call.

Half day or full day.
Same locations. More riding.
Both options ride the same locations — black lava field, pine-forest single-track. The full day just gives you more time on the bike, more kilometres, and more track variations we can string together in those same locations. Your guide sets the pace + breaks to match the group on the day. And the plan isn’t fixed — want more beach, less jungle, extra photo stops? Just ask. We’ll always shape the day around you when we can.

The honest FAQ.
The questions everyone asks us on WhatsApp. Answered here once.
Is Kintamani OK if I've never ridden a clutch bike?+
Yes — completely. Kintamani is a genuine first-off-road-day route: you start on a light, forgiving KLX 150 or 230, the guide coaches you through the clutch and the basics, and the open black-lava field is a gentle place to find your balance before anything technical. No prior experience needed. Total beginners ride it and so do experts chasing the harder lines — the guide matches the pace to you. Tell us your experience on WhatsApp and we'll set you up right.
How do you pay? What payment methods do you take?+
You pay on-site, before the ride starts — there's no online checkout and nothing to pay just to ask. We take:
- Cash.
- Card on a terminal at basecamp — card payments add a 3% fee.
- Bank transfer may also be possible — ask the team on WhatsApp and we'll confirm.
We sort the exact amount and timing with you directly when we confirm your booking.
Do I need a motorcycle licence?+
No licence is needed for a guided tour — you ride on private trails and off-road tracks with a guide, not on public roads. If your plans include any public-road riding, message us with your situation and we'll advise on what's required.
Can I bring my own gear?+
You can, but you don't need to — a full set of riding gear is provided and laundered after every ride, so you can arrive empty-handed. Plenty of riders prefer to bring a helmet or boots they trust; that's completely fine.
I wear glasses or contact lenses — is that fine?+
Both are fine. Contact lenses are ideal — there's less dust getting in under the goggles. If you wear glasses, our goggles fit over most frames; let us know your frame size and we'll have the right pair ready for you.
Is it safe? What about insurance?+
Safety is the priority: full protective gear is provided and fitted, there's a safety briefing before you ride, and there are always at least two guides (a lead and a sweeper) so no one rides alone. Bike insurance is included (mechanical + damage cover). We strongly recommend you also carry your own travel/medical insurance that covers off-road motorcycling — your home travel insurance often covers it, but check before flying.
How big are the groups?+
Rides run in small, level-matched groups — usually a lead guide up front and a sweeper at the back. Solo riders are welcome: if others are booked we pair you into a matched group; if no one else is out that day, you get a private guide. For exact sizes and private-group options, ask on WhatsApp.
What if it rains?+
We ride in the rain — mud's half the fun and your guide adapts the pace and the line to the conditions. The only thing that stops a ride is a proper storm, and if that hits we move the schedule or reschedule. Bali rain is usually short and patchy, and the wet season turns the trails into a genuine mud challenge that a lot of riders come back for.
I've never ridden off-road. Can I still book?+
Yes — many of our riders are beginners and most do their first-ever off-road day with us. You start on a light, forgiving KLX 150 or 230, your guide keeps the pace gentle while you find your balance, and no prior off-road experience is needed. Both the Tabanan Jungle & Beach and the Kintamani Black Lava tours are ones you can genuinely start from scratch on — they just differ by scenery. The harder, more technical lines (like Secret Forest) expect real off-road ability. Tell us your experience on WhatsApp and we'll place you on the right route and bike.
What do I bring vs what's provided?+
You bring (for the day — nothing for the ride itself):
- Your phone — your guides can grab photos and video of you on it.
- A little cash for incidentals.
- comfortable underwear to ride in under the gear, plus a spare set to change into after — so you head home fresh and comfortable.
- Sunscreen — the Bali sun is no joke; put it on any exposed skin.
- Any personal medication you might need on the trail.
We provide:
- jersey, pants, socks, gloves, knee and elbow protectors, motocross boots, goggles, helmet, chest protector, hydration backpack (water bottles inside) — all fitted to you.
- The bike and unlimited petrol.
- Water, and lunch on day trips.
- A free BaliEnduro jersey to keep.
You arrive empty-handed.
What's the cancellation policy?+
Flexible. Booking is over WhatsApp — it's free to ask and there's no online checkout. We confirm your bike and slot, then sort timing and payment with you directly before the ride. If your plans change, just message us as early as you can.
I'm coming alone — can I ride solo?+
Yes. Solo riders get a private guide. The rate stays the same — no single-rider surcharge.
Can I just ride, no photos / video?+
Of course. Tell us at gear-up. The photo/video on your phone is included whether you use it or not. GoPro rental (Rp 300.000/trip) + a 64GB SD card (Rp 250.000) are available if you want your own footage.
