for generations.

15 miles) or a shorter ride of 18 kilometers (approximately 11 miles).
SOBEK Bali operates this tour on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays.

SAFARI INFORMATION & HIGHLIGHTS
You will be transported by coach to the Jati Luwih village in Tabanan
to the Café Jati Luwih where you start the day with morning
tea and light snacks and other refreshments before departing to
the starting point of the tour. There you will be met by the guides
and fitted with a bicycle, safety helmet, riding gloves and bottled
water.
After a safety briefing the entire group will be divided into subgroups
of 5-6 people and one guide will be assigned for each subgroup.
Then you are off on a leisurely ride through the rich rural heartland
of Bali - visiting ancient villages and farmland on small roads
and jungle tracks.

vehicle. If you feel that you need a break the guides will
load your bike onto the support vehicle and you can sit back
and relax for a couple of kilometers in the air-conditioned
van.
