Bali 2 Day Enduro Dirt Bike Tour

Bali 2 Day Enduro Dirt Bike Tour is interesting because you’re not just sightseeing. You ride the island’s volcanic engine, from quiet rice fields to the Batur crater, then back toward Mount Agung over trails that feel wild even when you’re in good hands. I love the chance to play in black volcanic sand and the fact that the day ends at the coast near Tulamben.

One thing to consider: this is real motorcycling time. You need to be comfortable riding a motorcycle, and weather can matter when you’re on volcanic trails and forest tracks.

Key Things To Know Before You Go

Small group pace (max 12 riders): you get guidance without feeling lost in a crowd.

Crater riding at Mount Batur: admission included, and the focus is on action over photos-only stops.

Fuel, bike, and safety kit included: you show up and ride, not shop and scramble.

Two full days plus two lunches: meals are built in, which makes the schedule easier to trust.

Day 2 aims for Mount Agung views: volcanic trails and forest tracks, then a return to Ubud in the afternoon.

Action-photo opportunity: guides take a lot of action shots, including work from Jan behind the lens.

From Ubud Rice Fields to Batur’s Lava Sand

Most Bali tours show you roads and viewpoints. This one starts with movement, rolling out of Ubud and heading north through rice fields before the terrain shifts. You’ll feel the change from cultivated green to thicker, moodier jungle as the route works its way toward the base of Batur Volcano.

What I like about the early ride is how it builds anticipation. You’re not thrown into chaos immediately. The day keeps moving from scenic to serious, so by the time you reach the crater area, it feels earned, not forced.

Then comes the part people talk about for a reason: riding in the black lava sand inside Mount Batur. It’s not a gentle “look, cool rock” moment. You’ll be shredding that volcanic surface, which has a very different feel from regular dirt. Expect traction and line choice to matter, and expect it to be a blast.

Day 1, Stop 1: Mount Batur (Crater Riding With Admission Included)

You’ll spend about 2 hours at Mount Batur, and the admission ticket is included. Time in a crater is the best kind of travel weird, because it changes the sound, the texture under your wheels, and the whole vibe of the landscape.

Practical expectations for this stop:

• The ground is volcanic and can feel loose, so control and balance matter.
• You’ll want to listen when the guide explains how to handle the sand surface.
• This is where the tour earns its enduro label.

Even if you’re new-ish to off-road motorbiking, this is the kind of place where the presence of a guide and mechanic helps. The included safety gear plus a mechanic on hand means you’re not just dropped in and hoped for the best.

Day 1, Stop 2: Kintamani Highland (Farms, Slopes, and a Breather)

After the crater, the route continues to Kintamani Highland, where you’ll also have about 2 hours. Here, the energy changes from pure throttle to open views and fertile slopes. The area is known for farmland spilling across volcanic hillsides, so you get a less technical moment without losing the big-Bali feeling.

This stop is valuable because it balances the intensity of Mount Batur. You get time to reset, refocus, and enjoy the highland setting from the bike rather than from the side of a road. Also, you’re riding at altitude-adjacent areas, so the air and visibility can feel different from the coastal zone you’ll hit later.

One drawback to note: it’s still part of a full riding day. Even if the pace feels easier, you’ll be in gear and moving, not sitting in comfort all day.

The Ride North, Then Down Toward Tulamben for the Night

Between Ubud and the coast, the tour’s route is built around transitions. You’ll move from rice fields into rainforests hugging the base of Batur Volcano, then you’ll descend northern slopes toward the coast area near Tulamben.

That coast stop matters because it turns the trip from “two days of dirt riding” into something more rounded. After all that volcanic energy, staying near the beach resort gives you a real reset: dinner is included, and you’re not stuck in the same exhausted loop of riding and sorting logistics.

What this also does for your overall experience: it reduces the “all action, no recovery” problem. You still ride hard on Day 2, but you get a chance to sleep well and refuel properly.

Day 2 Starts at the Beach, Then Points Toward Mount Agung

Day 2 begins at the beach. That detail might sound small, but it changes how the day feels. Waking up near the coast after crater riding puts you in a calmer frame of mind, which helps when you’re heading back into rougher terrain.

From there, the plan is to ride up toward Mount Agung. You’ll see Agung up close as you travel through savannah-like areas at the base of the mountain, and then you’ll connect volcanic trails with forest tracks.

This is one of the tour’s strengths: it’s not one single type of riding surface. Day 2 gives you a mix, so you learn more than just how to ride in one condition.

Day 2 Stop Focus: Volcanic Trails and Forest Tracks Near Agung

The route on Day 2 is described as a mix of volcanic trails and forest tracks, with the goal of making your way back to Ubud in the afternoon.

Here’s what that means for you on the bike:

• Forest tracks can feel narrower or more shaded, and you’ll likely slow down for technique and visibility.
• Volcanic trails keep that loose-ground feel, so smooth control matters.
• The guide’s role becomes even more important here, because you’re switching conditions more than once.

Also, this is where you’ll appreciate having both a guide and mechanic included. If something needs attention, you want that handled fast so your riding time stays fun instead of frustrating.

Food, Safety Gear, and the Bike Setup That Makes This Easy

This tour is priced at $435.63 per person for an approx. 2-day adventure. When you look at what’s included, the price starts to make more sense.

You get:

• Breakfast and dinner, plus two lunches
• Safety gear
• Bike and fuel
• Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks
• Guide and mechanic

Value is not just about the ticket. Value is also about avoiding hassles. Here, you don’t need to figure out how to arrange bikes, fuel, meals, and safety items on your own. You show up, get equipped, and ride.

The one cost you should plan for separately is insurance. Personal travel and accident insurance is not included, so if you don’t already have coverage that fits motorbike riding, you’ll want to sort that before you go. Alcoholic beverages are also not included, so budget for drinks if you want them.

Group Size, Pace, and Why They Keep This Feeling Personal

This tour caps at 12 travelers, which is a real advantage. Smaller groups tend to mean less waiting and more attention when something goes wrong, and you’re far more likely to get guidance that actually helps your riding.

You’ll also notice that the tour is built around time blocks at major points (like 2 hours at Mount Batur and 2 hours at Kintamani Highland). That structure keeps the day from stretching into chaos, especially in a place where weather and trail conditions can change.

If you’ve never done off-road before, pay attention to the requirement: you must be able to ride a motorcycle. That’s different from being an expert dirt rider. In practice, the tour’s design includes enough support (guide plus mechanic) that beginners with basic motorcycle comfort can still enjoy it.

The Ride You Get, Versus the Ride You Think You’ll Get

There’s a difference between expecting “a scenic ride” and actually doing it. This tour is built for motion. You’ll be covered in dust, you’ll be concentrating on balance and lines, and you’ll be grateful for the safety gear when the terrain turns.

At the same time, it’s not just about suffering. The best part is how the route mixes big volcanic drama with real countryside. The coaster near Tulamben gives you a night that feels like a reward, not a random stopover.

And one of the most fun extras is that the guides are clearly focused on capturing action. People mention lots of action photos, and Jan is referenced in connection with those shots. So if you care about getting more than phone snapshots, this is likely to deliver.

Weather, Timing, and What Can Change on the Ground

The tour runs with a start time of 9:30 am and ends back at the meeting point. Day 2 returns to Ubud in the afternoon, so you’re not facing an endless schedule.

One practical reality: the activity requires good weather. On volcanic trails, rain can mean slick ground and slower riding. The provider notes that if it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

So if you’re flexible, you’ll get a smoother experience. If you’re on tight internal schedules, I’d treat this as something you plan with buffer time around it.

Who This Tour Fits Best

This is for you if:

• You can ride a motorcycle and want to level up your off-road confidence.
• You want a true enduro style route, not a set of short photo stops.
• You like tours that include food and kit so you can focus on riding.

It’s not the best fit if:

• You’re expecting an easy, mostly flat ride.
• You’re prone to motion sickness or you hate being active for long stretches.
• You’re not comfortable with volcanic sand and trail surfaces.

Should You Book Bali 2 Day Enduro?

I’d book this if you want the kind of Bali that feels earned, not arranged. The combo of Mount Batur crater riding, a Kintamani Highland breather, and then a second day that pushes toward Mount Agung gives you two days that feel connected, not random.

It also helps that so much is included for you: bike, fuel, safety gear, mechanic support, and meals. That reduces decision fatigue, and it lets you focus on what you actually came for, riding.

If you have basic motorcycle comfort and you’re ready for real trail time, this is a strong value way to see volcanic Bali from the inside of the ride, not the edge of it.
