Experience the Best of Bali Off the Beaten Path on a Full-Day Dirt Bike Tour
If you’re craving a day away from Bali’s crowded tourist hotspots like Kuta and Seminyak, this full-day dirt bike tour offers an exciting way to explore the island’s lesser-known treasures. For around $141 per person, you’ll get approximately 7 to 8 hours of riding through scenic rice paddies, secluded beaches, and jungle trails—all guided by fully trained locals. The trip begins with hassle-free hotel pickup, making it smooth from start to finish, and ends back at your accommodation, saving you the hassle of navigating unfamiliar roads.
What we love most about this experience is how it balances adventure with authenticity. The guides are experienced and friendly, ensuring your safety while sharing stories about Bali’s hidden corners. Plus, the tour’s pace includes relaxed breaks, so you’re not racing from one destination to another but truly soaking in the scenery.

This tour is perfect for travelers looking for a hands-on adventure that reveals Bali’s quieter side—places that are often missed in guidebooks. If you love the idea of mixing riding with discovering local life and natural beauty, this experience is a fantastic choice. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate authentic moments and are comfortable with moderate physical activity.

A Deep Dive Into the Bali Dirt Bike Experience

Your day begins with a pickup from your hotel—an easy way to start your adventure without the hassle of planning transport. The ride takes you to the Karbit Ride Dirt Bike & Enduro basecamp in Tabanan. Here, you’ll find changing rooms, all necessary gear, and safety equipment ready, making the transition into your adventure smooth.

The insurance included covers all parts and gear, giving peace of mind before you start your ride.
The Ride – Exploring Bali’s Hidden Corners
Once on your motorbike, the journey kicks off through dirt roads that crisscross Bali’s rural landscape. The guides, praised for their experience and friendliness (as one reviewer noted, “guides were nice and experienced”), lead you through jungle trails, rice paddies, and quiet coastal paths. Expect to get a bit muddy, a bit dusty, and a lot excited.
The itinerary is flexible and well-paced. Stops include secluded beaches—places you might not find in travel guides—perfect for photos and quiet reflection. One rider shared that they “had the best time shredding up the jungles and beaches around Canngu,” highlighting the mix of terrain and scenery.
A Taste of Local Life and Culture
You’ll stop at small villages and traditional Balinese restaurants for a lunch that offers genuine local flavors. This authentic meal is included in the price, allowing you to experience Balinese cuisine without extra planning or expense. It’s a chance to chat with locals and reflect on the morning’s adventures.
Relax and Reflect
Unlike some adrenaline-fueled tours, this experience emphasizes relaxation. After hours of riding, you’ll return to the basecamp for a well-deserved break, then be driven back to your hotel. The group size tends to be private or small, ensuring personalized attention and a more intimate experience.
Reviews and Authentic Feedback
Travelers consistently give this tour a perfect 5-star rating, citing the knowledgeable guides and well-maintained gear as highlights.

Considerations
While the tour is inclusive and well-organized, it’s important to note that participants should have moderate physical fitness. The activity involves riding on uneven terrain, which might be tiring for some. Also, participation is at your own risk, so reviewing your travel insurance coverage is wise.
