The Volcano Trail

Image

This ride is perfect for riders who crave fast and flowing single and double tracks, paired with stunning scenery. We'll arrange an early transfer from your hotel to the higher regions of the island, specifically the volcanic core. The first leg of the ride will be predominantly downhill, commencing at 1,600m above sea level and finishing at the lower grounds. The second stage of the ride will be more XC-oriented, guiding you through picturesque rice paddy fields. You'll be awestruck by the awe-inspiring surroundings.

This ride is a step up from our Mount Batur to Ubud Off Road, offering a pure trail experience that's both entertaining and thrilling, without any extreme features such as mandatory jumps, massive drops, or extreme downhill sections. However, if you prefer more technical riding, we recommend exploring our 'Secret Single Track' and 'Bali Downhill' rides.

Review

Volcano Trail was the best day I have had on a bike. Fast, loose, challenging, stunning scenery, beautiful villages, lovely people and awesome fun - and that was just the first 10km ! Rode on 20th Jan with 3 others and Rudi on well maintained high spec bikes for a total of 33km, 262m climbing and the amazing 1330m descending. No jumps or silly stuff but you will spend a lot of time hanging off the back of the bike, drifting through volcanic soils or grabbing a big handful of brakes at the last minute - 4/5 rating is about right and this is a ride which will test a good XC rider. My only regret is I did not have time on this holiday to book another ride. The Volcano Trail is a must do for any MTB fan when in Bali.
