The Journey

12 days off-road through rice fields, plantations and volcanoes

Your enduro motorbike adventure through Bali and Java begins on Bali. The route takes you both on and off the road, with a clear focus on off-road riding: through small villages, colonial plantations, active volcanoes and several national parks. You will also explore some of Bali’s temples among cocoa, rubber and coffee plantations.

Kalibaru, rest day in the jungle

Today you take a rest day on your motorcycle tour through Bali and Java. The area around Kalibaru is perfect for a walk in the woods. If you wish, you can take a car to the nearby plantations and explore the surroundings. This is a great moment to catch your breath, recharge and enjoy the tropical calm on the edge of the jungle before the tour continues.

Kalibaru → Jember, through the mountains

You leave the main road and ride through the Gumitir mountain region onto the plantations. Depending on the weather, some off-road trails can be challenging. Your ride takes you through quiet forests with views into the valley, where rubber is still grown today. You cross a wooden bridge deeper into the jungle before reaching Jember, the capital of East Java. In the evening, the lively Pasar Malam market beckons. Overnight stay in a hotel with a rooftop pool.

Questions about the tour itinerary?

Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.

Jember → Bromo volcano

From Jember, you ride west through wide rice fields and old colonial plantations, following at times a dilapidated railway line to Lumajang. After lunch, the highlight of the Java volcano motorcycle tour begins: the ascent to the active Bromo. Through Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park and across a vast sea of sand, you reach your hotel on the crater rim, where you can experience the Bromo volcano up close.

Cemara Lawang → Jember

Today you have the option to take a 4x4 at 4:00 am to watch the sunrise over Bromo and Semeru. After breakfast, you cross the sandy plain again by motorcycle and begin the descent towards Lumajang. This stage of the Enduro motorcycle tour through Bali and Java leads you along small roads and past colonial plantations through wooded areas back to Jember, where you stay again in the hotel with a rooftop pool.

Jember → Banyuwangi, at Kawah Ijen

Alternating between tarmac and unpaved tracks, you ride through villages to the northern entrance of Kawah Ijen National Park. On this Java volcano motorcycle tour, you pass through extensive coffee plantations where Arabica and the expensive Luwak coffee are grown. You spend the night in Banyuwangi in a luxury resort with a pool right on the coast.

Banyuwangi → Lovina, back on Bali

After breakfast, the ferry takes you back to Bali in just a few minutes. You quickly turn into the green north of the island and ride along Taman National Park and the coastal road with views of Lombok’s nearly 3,800-metre-high volcano. In the afternoon, you reach Lovina, where your hotel by the sea with an infinity pool invites you to relax, a peaceful moment on your motorcycle tour through Bali and Java.

Lovina → Sanur

The last riding day of your Enduro motorcycle tour through Bali and Java takes you through villages and wide rice fields to the volcanic Gunung Agung, Bali’s highest mountain. In Kintamani at 1,350 metres, the view opens up to Mount Batur and its lake. You reach the old crater via a steep route and ride through black volcanic sand before heading back to Sanur via Sideman.

Sanur, departure

At the end of your motorcycle tour through Bali and Java, it’s time to pack your bags. As most flights depart in the afternoon, there’s still time for a bit of shopping or a relaxing few hours on the beach and by the pool. Afterwards, you’ll be transferred to the airport. Tip: We recommend around 300 euros for spending money. Optional motorcycle upgrade: Honda CRF 250 Rally, Kawasaki Versys 250 X or Honda CB 500X.
