At Adventure Riders Indonesia, we offer unique guided motorcycle tours around the islands of Flores, Bali, Sumbawa and other destinations throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
Firstly, our mission is to deliver exhilarating off-road motorcycle trips in comfort and style, while discovering an Indonesia that very few travelers will ever experience.
Secondary, our tours have something for everyone and plenty variety of off - road terrain, authentic cultural experiences, overnight stays in traditional villages, ride through spectacular volcanic mountains and tropical jungle trails, camping on pristine white sand beaches and down roads that redefine ‘off-the-beaten-track’.
In addition, our adventures are for both novice and experienced riders alike, and each group tour can be customized, adapted to your level of riding.
At Adventure Riders Indonesia, we use the latest 2018 Kawasaki KLX 250 dual sport bikes. The KLX 250 are tough and durable. In fact, they're almost indestructible.
For instance, this makes them an ideal choice for the off-road challenges and the rugged and remote conditions that we throw at them. However, our bikes have been slightly modified to suit our type of riding on motorcycle tours and we've added a few aftermarket items such as 12v USB charging outlets and hand guards.
Adventure Riders Indonesia was the brainchild of Allan, Adam and Jamie, and the latest venture of Calico Jack Charters, our successful traditional Indonesian Yacht Adventure company - specializing in dive trips and adventure tours in Maluku and Raja Ampat.
The concept was to extent our established pedigree and passion for adventure at sea to the land. In other words, to explore the sights of Indonesia by bike - and to do it in style. And so Adventure Riders Indonesia was born. Guided motorcycle tours across the unique and fascinating islands of the Indonesian archipelago.
The rolling tool shed has been kitted out with spare parts, tools and even an extra bike. It’s been built on a Toyota Kijang, an "Asian Safari Cruiser" – characterful and charismatic. It will carry our luggage, surfboards, camping equipment, the chef, and, of course, the mechanic. And it can go almost anywhere.
Our on-board mechanic has all the necessary tools and equipment to keep you on the road no matter what the issue. All our bikes are regularly serviced and maintained, guaranteeing a smooth and hassle-free ride. We carry a full range of comprehensive spares that will have you back on the road before you know it. And, as an extra precaution, our support vehicle carries a spare Kawasaki KLX bike for emergencies.
Our motorcycle adventure tours aren't just about roaring engines and dreams of speed. As we travel through this unique country, there will be plenty of opportunity to explore the other treasures Indonesia has to offer. Trekking dormant volcanoes, swimming in hot springs – you could even spend the night with a local family, or camp on the beach. Explore dense jungle trails with exotic wildlife, snorkel in crystal-clear waters with marine life you never knew existed – it's all possible. We have a couple of masks and snorkels, and will even strap some surf boards to the tool shed so you can catch some waves on remote breaks along the way.
Believe the hype!
This was an absolutely awesome experience for me, and I agree with the others here that it's the best thing to do in Bali. When it comes to holidays I like to challenge myself but also to see the countryside and felt like I hadn't had enough of this in Bali tours in the past.
On the day trip we went into all kinds of back country terrain, over mountains, through rice fields and villages and in parts of the jungle I don't think you can see any other way. I'd never done dirt biking before, but the instructor Kade was super helpful, clear and a great teacher progressing me through each stage of development at just the right level of challenge.
Definitely keen to do another trip in the future - perhaps a multi-day one!
One of the best biking experiences I’ve ever had
I almost can’t describe how happy I was on this trip. I hadn’t ridden in about a year and was due to do the 1 day trip a week before but couldn’t make it.
So I booked on the 2 day trip instead after new year and I hands down had the best time of my life. Riding through tall crop fields, up steep (but not impossible) hill climbs through rides fields and amazing woodland, a couple of tricky fallen trees and areas to get your heart racing but the guides are awesome and really help you if you get stuck. They care about the journey you’re having and make it easier or more challenging based on your ability and what you want.
My absolute highlight was racing down a dried up river on day 2 I love technical areas and little jumps so I was in my element, it was raining a little and there were fun obstacles like fallen bamboo branches, farmers and areas of sand (which makes it super fun) and you can take it as easy as you like or are comfortable with.
The lava fields are awesome and like being on another world and the black sand volcano of Mount Batur means you can mess around and if you fall it doesn’t actually hurt that much.
The ride out to the fields is also great you see areas of Bali you would never normally go to and you get to see a bit of the real Bali - how it used to be.
I can not recommend this trip and explore ride Indonesia enough and my only concern is when I can get back there to do more.
Best day of the whole holiday
I chose to join a day tour to Kintamani / Batur volcano on a rather late notice and all was beautifully set up straight away. I was joined by Allan & Krishna, and basically had a private as in “one on one” lesson by two very experienced guys. Awesome. Excellent bike provided. All safety gear & clothes too. Both Allan & Krishna told me all various details and techniques of off road riding and it was very enjoyable trying to put these into practice.
I loved riding thru “back alleys” between rice paddies etc, we were often the only people there, no tourists, occasionally some locals collecting bits or cooling in a waterfall. Allan took lots of excellent pictures too and I’d like to think we all clicked in well and had an awesome time. Can’t recommend this enough. And I only dropped the bike twice :-)
One of my greatest life experiences
I’m pretty new to off-road riding, so I joined these guys for a two day/one night tour through Bali, from Ubud to Tulamben in the northeast of the Island. When I tell you I was nervous… it had been years since I rode a manual bike and I wasn’t even sure I remembered how to turn the engine on. As it turns out, it’s just like… well, riding a bike.
Despite my relative inexperience, the guys at Adventure Riders welcomed me on the tour, helped me improve my off-road riding skills massively, and found ways to make sure everyone was challenged appropriate to their skill level, so nobody was bored and nobody was struggling. Not too hard, at least.
I can honestly say they were two of the best days I’ve ever spent while travelling. We took on black volcanic sand, gravelly beaches, rickety old bridges over deep ravines… and what I learned in those two days was incredible. I’d have no hesitation taking on a longer trip next time. I couldn’t have found a better bunch of people to do something like this with.
Great trip in Bali with Adventure Riders Indonesia
Amazing 2 days of ridingBali 2 Day Volcano Tour in rice fields, bamboo forests, river beds, volcanoes, forests and the infamous “roads”.
.
Even flew past an angry king cobra snake on a trial! 🐍 Crazy!
.
Fun way to “learn” how to off-road moto 😎
One of the best days on our Bali trip
We had an amazing time. The guides (Iwok und Jephry) have been great. They knew the best routs
and the best view points. I did it twice and I will do it for sure again!
Best of Bali
Don't think twice, these guys are pro in all aspects, this is the best attraction in the island!
I booked the 8hr tour, round trip Ubud to Mt. Batur with a 150cc Kawi, and I can't complain. The tour was perfect!
It was low season, so I found myself alone, which made me worry at first,... but boy this was worthy! In the end I actually felt on a private lesson with my guide Dex, who is a pro rally/enduro rider and certified coach.
I have experience riding larger bikes on asphalt, but the tour/class with Dex is something I am taking forever with me, and hopefully will evolve into a new hobby off road.
I started my first hour all stiff and lost on dirt, but little by little he dropped some vital techniques, one at a time, adapting my skills to every new challenge proposed. By mount Batur I was already flying on deep sand, dirt, rocks, ridges... confident enough to have way more fun than I could imagine!
I started with rice paddies (learned proper posture on this type of bike), later some jungle (learned flat turns), soon a bamboo forest (momentum x obstacles), went down a dry river bed (learned to ride on scary deep soft sand), went up the valley (learned hill climb). By the time we reached the black lava, I used all learned on a unique terrain that looks like another planet. On the way back we went through single tracks through the rain forest, and that was hyper cool, sliding and rushing between trees, confident on the bike and on myself.
But don't get me wrong, the tour is not all about dirt bike experience... you are signing up for an adventure! You will meet several locals and chat with them, you will see a beautiful side of Bali where you won't find other tourists. And these guys are pro, they will adapt according to your needs, skills and preferences. I tailored the tour to my liking. Dont be afraid to try the same, give them a call if you are in doubt or have any special requests/preferences. After all, they are all about the adventure!
Un grande abrazo a Allan, Dex y a todo el equipo! If I'm lucky enough to visit Bali again, I'm surely dropping by their shop for another tour.
Best Dirt Bike Riding Experience Ever!
This tour was the highlight of my Bali trip! I have 0 experience riding dirt bikes and 0 experience with manual (clutch) vehicles. I wanted to challenge myself by doing something new and that wasn’t a problem for Adventure Riders Indonesia! They had an automatic (mini) bike ready and available for me along with a very, very, very patient guide. The owner Allan even stated that a little clutch experience is great to get started on the actual dirt bike. I fell off my bike multiple times (the bike and I were fine each time…they strapped us in with many protective gear to prevent any injuries) and my guide patiently got myself and the bike back on track. We stuck to the flat lands and grass while the other experienced riders went for the more challenging terrains. Some of the more experienced riders confessed to have fallen off their bikes which made me feel a bit better about myself lol.
The tour starts and ends at a restaurant where you can order coffee and food, then ride through rice fields and to an off the path and less frequented waterfall, had great lunch with great views, and got rehydrated with coconut water. I had a great time and I will definitely be doing this tour again once I’m back in Bali! My guide Suweca was the best!
What a great enduro adventure experience I had with Adventure Riders Indonesia
I did and finished my Bali 2 Days Dirt Bike Tour by Adventure Riders Indonesia. What a great team and trip I‘ve ever had so far...I really enjoyed my enduro adventure for 2 days so much with them. I’m satisfied as well about their hospitality and flexibility of rescheduling due to some important reasons. I appreciated their help much.
Thanks a lot to my team (5 persons including me) who gave me unforgettable great experiences to got and rip it up in the black lava of Batur volcanic crater in Kintamani and exploring Balinese villages, traditional ceremony of „Ngaben“, visiting Bedugul Tempel, Bias Tugel and Padang Bay Beaches.
In Black Lava & Padang Bay I had very great enduro experiences from my mentor „Kadex“. If you would like to get and rip enduro adventure and love riding dirt bike, I recommend you fully to join and have same or even more enduro/ offroad adventure experiences with those people of Adventure Riders Indonesia team who are managed and organized well by Allan and Adam.
Thank you so much personally to my team in my Bali 2 Days Dirt Bike Tour: Kadex, Reza, Dharma and Toto, as well as Allan who had arranged for my trip well. See you soon in another occasion in this year 2020!
Best and warmth regards from Bavaria, Germany - Anna
Great fun!
Fantastic experience. The guides made sure we were all heavily supported and helped myself up many
times out of tricky spots.
Day trip 👌
Awesome day we had !!
I will highly recommend adventure riders Indonesia!!
Loved everything, the staff, the bikes, the atmosphere well everything!
Thanks to Chris , Kadek , Adam and Dede !
Merci beaucoup
Had a great day hitting the tracks with these guys. Done the Ubud to Batur loop. Was a good variety of tracks and riding. From the gear to the guides was a 5 star service.
Highly recommend this to anyone looking for some fun in Bali.
Gear are in a great shape and the guide knows his shit 💪
I highly recommend this for anyone seeking for something new and mindblowing that u wouldnt otherwise get to experiense!
If you are looking for the ultimate bike adventure then you need look no further. I joined Adventure riders 10 Day Flores trip in June and it was by far the best bike trip I’ve ever experienced. Kadex and the crew delivered a well organized, safe and memorable action-packed Adventure. I was very impressed with the diverse quality of terrain and sights that Flores has to offer.
Highly recommended and looking forward to joining their next Adventure in Sumbawa.
We did the Bali to Sumbawa trip with Adventure Riders in September 2017 and I would highly recommend hitting the road with them.
We started in Ubud and covered some exciting spots in central Bali, ripping it up in the black sand of the volcanic crater and exploring real Balinese villages and temples. Then we headed east to Lombok. Lombok is a riders dream with excellent roads and a vast diversity. From the colourful and picturesque seaside towns of the east to the mystique of the jungle villages of Rinjani to the vast surf coast with amazing ocean vistas to the beautiful lush interior of jungles and waterfalls and even….a super hi way.
Lombok is an appealing island to explore. Without the tourist fanfare of Bali, Lombok has a lot to offer and a motorbike is the best way to really discover it.
We then headed east to Sumbawa and hit the southern surf coast where we spent a few nights at the perfectly chilled Whales & Waves Resort and explored the south coast. This was a great base to explore from. It is pristine and remote with spectacular surf spots and remote trails to blaze.
The crew are top notch with an obvious passion for adventure.
They know the lay of the land and seemed quite experienced navigating the quirks of remote Indonesia, directing us smoothly to perfect destinations daily for a relaxing sunset Bintang and a good story.
We stayed in some fine laid back resorts, off the beaten track and covered some incredibly diverse environments.
From full on mountain climbs to remote traditional villages to waterfalls, secret beaches, volcanic craters, jungles, temples and the best nasi goreng in town, these guys know all the good spots.
The bikes were good and they were well prepared.
This is a great way to see Indonesia for those looking for a real adventure. Never a dull moment. Highly recommended.
Can’t wait to go again in 2019.
