BALI QUAD DISCOVERY TOUR
|
If you are planning
to visit the island of Bali, you definitely made a
good choice on that, as Bali has something that you
cannot find in most other tourist destinations.
Despite having welcomed foreign people from all over
the world for over a century, the island and its
people haven’t changed their way of living, their
habits, their culture. Of course you will find
influences brought in by people from other
continents, mostly noticed in the south and most
developed part of the island, where most tourists
stay. In places like Kuta, Sanur and Nusa Dua you
will find all ingredients for a perfect relaxing
holiday, as there are beautiful beaches, restaurants
that serve dishes from all over the world, bars,
shops and sport facilities.
Meet the friendly people
But of course Bali has much more than that, and for
the people who want to experience what Bali is
really like, we from BALI QUAD DISCOVERY TOURS have
developed some unique off road adventure tours with
quad bikes (ATV’s) four wheel drive motorcycles
through a very authentic part of the island. Our
tours combine a great experience of driving your own
powerful off road 4-wheel motorcycle (or enjoying
the ride while comfortably sitting on the back of
the bike) with the opportunity to learn about the
way the local people live. You will follow our
experienced guides by driving between beautiful rice
fields, pass the rainforest, drive up the mountain
and cross some riverbeds. It doesn’t matter if you
have ever driven a quad bike before, as the bikes
are user friendly, and everybody will get a detailed
instruction and practice on the spot before we start
our tours.
We drive you into the heart of Bali
What makes our tour unique is the fact that we reach
the most hidden spots on the island, were we meet
the friendly local people, and we mostly use small
tracks which are also used by them. To ensure that
we don’t disturb the environment, and to give all
our participants a maximum of assistance and
service, we normally only drive with small groups
with a maximum of 6 bikes. All of our tours are
accompanied by two experienced, English speaking
guides. If we have people joining with very
different skills, we will split up in different
groups, to make sure that everybody can enjoy in his
own way. Therefore, our tours are suitable for all
ages, as long as you are in a good physical shape.
See you soon!
We want our tour to be the high light of your
holiday in Bali, and therefore you can be assured
that we do our utmost best to achieve that goal. To
view some of the reactions of the people who already
joined us in the past, please have a look at guest
comments. To view the different options that we
offer, you can look in tour options. We wish you a
very good time in Bali, and look forward to seeing
you soon at Bali Quad Discovery Tours!
About our tours
Bali Quad Discovery Tours is located near Payangan,
one of the oldest mountain villages of Bali. Only 15
km south of Kintamani, on the slopes of the mount
Batur, and next to the Ayung river valley, it offers
some views beyond description of emerald green rice
fields on the steep Ayung slopes. This part of Bali
is probably one of the most preserved parts of the
island.
Only one hour driving from all main tourist
destinations, but yet so pure and authentic, and not
yet touched by the influence of tourism. In the area
one can find some of the most beautiful sawah (ricefields)
on the island, without the presence of many
tourists, as you will find in other parts of the
island. The area here is famous for its salak fruit,
or the so called “snake fruit” (this as the skin
resembles the skin of a snake). Snakefruit can only
be found in a few places in the world, besides in
Indonesia also in Malaysia and Thailand.
Afficionados of the salak claim that those grown in
Bali are the best found anywhere in Asia. The
flavour of a ripe salak is intriguing, neither sweet
nor sour, faintly nutty, with an excellent crisp
texture. Also many palm trees can be found in the
area around Payangan. The cocos palm is being used
for lots of different purposes. The strong wood
serves as a construction material, the leaves are
used for doormats and baskets, and furthermore the
cocospalm delivers cocosmilk and cocos oil.
Besides this vegetation, a wide selection of
different fruits and vegetables grow without
difficulty in the fertile lava soil, and are mainly
used for own purpose by the local people, or traded
on the local market. While driving through the
forest, our Quad Discovery Tour makes a stop at a
traditional house, where the people live without any
modern comfort, but all different kinds of fruits
and vegetables, as well as herbs and plants for
medical purpose, grow richly around the house. The
people are completely self supplying. Our guests can
see all different kinds of plants and trees, like
rambutan, papaya, jack fruit, coffee, avocado etc.
etc, and taste local coffee, prepared on a fire
(with aqua) and salak fruit.
During the tour, our guests will pass various
temples, that truly contribute to the saying ”island
of thousand temples”, as temples can be found
everywhere in this area.
The length of the tour is approx. 18km, driven in 2
hours. After the tour, an extended lunch buffet is
served in our restaurant. See pick up times and
rates for further information
