There are few more scenic ways to appreciate the beauty of Bali than with a cycle or trek through the countryside. Amandari’s guides are all locals who know the region backwards, and picnics and encounters with local artisans, healers or artists can always be arranged along the way.

Cycling Tours

Cycling is a superb way to experience Balinese daily life and nature up close and personal, whether peddling through remote villages, crossing peaceful rice paddies or freewheeling down endless downhills on quiet back roads. Amandari’s team of cycling guides are experts at finding completely off-the-beaten-track routes and providing opportune Aman surprises sure to delight.

Valley Trekking

From its perch above the Ayung River Gorge, Amandari offers guided journeys into the valley below, where natural ridgelines and village pathways trace the contours of jungle, rice fields and local settlements. Each trek reveals the quiet rhythms of the Ayung Valley, with routes tailored to time and pace, and the option to begin with a market visit or conclude with a scenic moment overlooking the gorge. 

Rafting

Along the Ayung River, this beginner-friendly, Class-II rafting experience reveals a different perspective on Bali’s interior, where high gorge walls rise and nature thrives uninterrupted. Suitable for all levels, it passes beneath tropical vegetation via waterfalls and quiet birdlife-skimmed streams over the course of 11 kilometres. Morning and early afternoon departures are available, including a descent into the gorge and a short return drive to Amandari.
