With winding jungle roads, coastal breezes, and the thrill of freedom, scootering through Bali is one of the most authentic ways to experience the island. Whether you’re beach-hopping in the south or riding through rice fields in the heart of the island, Bali motorbike hire offers unbeatable flexibility and access to hidden gems.
Perfect for solo travelers, couples, and adventurous souls, riding a scooter in Bali turns every journey into an experience. Here’s our guide to the 10 best areas in Bali to explore on two wheels.
1. Canggu – Trendy Surf Town with Rice Fields
Canggu is a scooter rider’s dream with scenic backroads cutting through rice paddies and beachfront shortcuts. You can hop between cafés, surf spots like Batu Bolong and Echo Beach, and boutique shops without battling car traffic. Scooters are the best way to navigate this fast-growing area.
2. Ubud – Culture and Nature in the Highlands
Explore Ubud’s forested roads, temples, and artisan villages at your own pace. Ride to the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, Campuhan Ridge Walk, and hidden waterfalls. Avoid heavy car traffic and cruise freely through the scenic hills and jungle.
3. Seminyak – Chic Shops, Cafés, and Beach Clubs
Seminyak’s main streets can get congested, but with a scooter, you’ll zoom through alleyways and park close to your favorite restaurant or sunset bar. Scooters are the easiest way to navigate from Petitenget Temple to Double Six Beach.
4. Uluwatu – Cliffside Roads and Epic Beaches
Ride along cliffside roads with sweeping ocean views. A scooter gives you the freedom to reach remote beaches like Nyang Nyang, Bingin, and Green Bowl, which are often inaccessible by car. It’s also perfect for catching sunset at Uluwatu Temple.
5. Sanur – Calm Streets and Coastal Boardwalks
Sanur is ideal for beginner riders. The streets are wide and less crowded, with easy access to the beachfront boardwalk, traditional markets, and local warungs. Great for slow-paced sightseeing and family-friendly stops.
6. Amed – Scenic Coastal Drives in East Bali
With black sand beaches, dive spots, and views of Mount Agung, Amed is one of the best areas for scooter adventures. The winding coastal road between Amed and Tulamben is peaceful and stunning, with few cars and plenty of viewpoints.
7. Sidemen – Untouched Balinese Countryside
Sidemen Valley is lush, quiet, and full of traditional life. Ride through rice terraces, local farms, and mountain views. It’s a great destination for those seeking a peaceful escape and authentic Bali vibes away from the tourist trail.
8. Lovina – Dolphins, Hot Springs, and Waterfalls
In North Bali, Lovina offers calm traffic and a more relaxed atmosphere. Ride to Banjar Hot Springs, Gitgit Waterfall, and dolphin-watching spots with ease. Roads here are wide and perfect for longer, scenic rides.
9. Nusa Penida – Rugged but Rewarding
Although roads can be rough, riding a scooter in Nusa Penida opens access to dramatic destinations like Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, and Angel’s Billabong. Not ideal for beginners, but adventurous riders will love the challenge.
10. Tabanan – Rural Vibes and Natural Beauty
West Bali’s Tabanan region features vast rice fields, empty beaches, and UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. It’s perfect for daytime scooter trips far from the crowds, with dramatic landscapes and fewer vehicles on the road.
