Ride the island rather than look at it — a week on quiet back roads through rice terraces, art villages and a volcano rim, with a support vehicle behind you the whole way.
The island
Most school trips to Bali stay on the coast road. This one doesn't. From the saddle, the island opens up: the subak irrigation channels that have watered these paddies for a thousand years, the carving and hand-painting workshops in the villages around Ubud, the black volcanic country under Gunung Batur, and the UNESCO-listed terraces at Jatiluwih.
The riding is steady rather than hard — 24 to 30 km a day on quiet lanes and easy off-road tracks, with a mechanic and a support vehicle alongside. Students who have never toured before finish the week having ridden across an island.
Programme
A supported cycling week on Bali's classic routes — Bongkasa, the Ubud art villages, the Kintamani volcano rim and the Jatiluwih rice terraces — rounded out with Tanah Lot at sunset, Ubud culture, and a Nusa Dua and Uluwatu finale.
Meet and greet with your guide at the airport, a meal at a local restaurant, then transfer to the hotel and check in. The rest of the day is free to settle in after travel.
