Gather in the hotel lobby for an hour-long transfer to Ubud’s countryside, where a tranquil loop awaits beside picturesque rice paddies, a village known for its oranges, and lush greenery.
As we make our way to Ubud, soak in the charms of rural Balinese life. We’ll pause mid-morning for refreshing local coffee and maybe try some fresh coconuts. Along narrow backroads, expect warm greetings from the Balinese locals. Keep an eye out for sacred temples and catch glimpses of village ceremonies. Our guide will explain the significance of daily offerings.
Indulge in your first Balinese lunch with Nasi Campur, enjoying views of rice fields and spotting native birds. Then, we’ll ride to our hotel for check-in.
End the day with a delectable feast at a local restaurant, celebrating our first day of riding.

Start your day bright and early with a 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes transfer to the hilly west of Ubud.
Along the way, catch glimpses of villagers heading to temples for morning prayers and farmers preparing for their day’s work. After visiting the Pura Luhur Batukaru temple, we’ll gear up for today’s ride. Expect one proper climb and some short steep climbs, typical of Bali’s topography as we move between hillsides.
We’ll ride through the Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Bali’s largest rice terraces, spanning over 600 hectares along the Batukaru mountain range. Mid-morning, we’ll stop at a local warung for a rejuvenating cup of Balinese coffee while taking in the view.
Continuing our journey amidst countless rice paddies, we’ll navigate Bali’s diverse topography. Lunch will be at a local warung overlooking the monkey forest, where you can peacefully observe playful monkeys in their natural habitat.
Hop back on the e-bike to meander through rice paddy fields, flower fields, backroads, and main roads as we make our way to your hotel in Ubud.

Today, we venture to the East of Bali, starting with a one-hour transfer Northeast towards the volcanic Mount Batur. As you cycle through this tranquil area, enjoy views of Mount Abang and pass by traditional temples along the way.
Our next stop is the famous Penglipuran traditional village, meticulously preserved as a living museum of Balinese culture and way of life. You’ll have the chance to explore the village through guided tours and cultural performances.
For lunch, indulge in a home-cooked Balinese meal with scenic hillside views. After lunch, we’ll ride a few more kilometers down to the beach, where cold drinks await before a short transfer to the hotel.
Upon arrival at the hotel, settle into your room and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.

Today, we dedicate our time to the Kaura community. Lace up your comfiest walking shoes for a 4-hour (3 km) trekking trip to Jagasatru Waterfall.
After a short transfer from the hotel to the Kaura community, we’ll embark on a walk through lush forests, passing clusters of homes where bantam chickens roam and children play. The waterfall is a breathtaking sight, and the pool formed at its base offers a refreshing spot to cool off. Sitting next to a giant statue of Brahama, the waterfall holds spiritual significance for local Balinese. With experienced hiking guides from the Manggis community, this journey takes you well off the beaten path.
Next, we’ll participate in a water purification ceremony using the holy water from the waterfall site. This traditional ritual cleanses, purifies, and blesses the water, typically involving incense, flowers, and candles. Our guide will explain the symbolism behind these rituals.
After a fulfilling lunch, the choice is yours to continue the afternoon with a 2-hour village community walk guided by the village ambassador. Engage with the community, learn about their local coconut oil production, and meet the iconic goats. Alternatively, you can opt for a quick transfer back to your hotel for an afternoon of leisure by the swimming pool or beach.

The day kicks off with a transfer to navigate the hilliest areas around Manggis before hopping on the e-bikes to head for the Tulamben coast.
Cycle along winding countryside roads fringed with palms, passing charming villages en route to the iconic Tirta Gangga water palace. This former royal residence in eastern Bali boasts reflective bathing pools and intricate stone carvings. Learn about its rich heritage before continuing on to Tulamben.
Enjoy panoramic views as you skirt the rugged eastern coastline, passing idyllic fishing villages scattered along the way. Take a moment to admire Bali’s iconic crystal-clear, rocky beaches. Pause for a well-deserved break, dipping your toes into the water. Along the ride to your hotel, visit a honey farm run by a deaf and mute couple.

Make the most of the stunning Balinese coastline in Tulamben and relax in the comfort of your courtyard villa accommodation. Dive into the vibrant underwater world on a snorkeling trip, discovering colorful fish and coral along the shoreline. Two notable spots await exploration: the coral garden, ideal for picturesque snorkeling, and the USAT Liberty wreckage, a WWII-era American cargo ship sunk offshore.
Anchor down for lunch, indulging in another delicious Balinese meal featuring nasi campur, nasi goreng, and assorted snacks served picnic-style. After a day of aquatic adventures, we’ll return you to shore in the mid-afternoon, allowing you to enjoy Tulamben at your own pace before a farewell dinner with the group in the evening.

What our clients say about us
Eriberto P
16 March 2024 ★★★★★We had an amazing time with Flipside! The easy riders were fantastic and made us feel so safe over the 3 days. The food and home stays were lovely over the trip and there were plenty of stops along the way. The evenings were so much fun with the group and easy riders! Everyone was so accommodating and friendly and made the experience unforgettable. We cannot wait to come again and highly recommend Flipside
Jeremy
28 April 2024 ★★★★★Flip side honestly exceeded my expectations! Of course the views of Ha Giang were amazing but the staff were absolutely incredible and the easy riders were amazing! I felt so safe on the back of Truong’s bike the whole time. We had a small group of 6 people, 4 of us with easy riders and my boyfriend and our friend drove themselves. The drivers were steady and kept a good, safe pace for the guys riding (we saw and heard how fast the other tour’s went and how many injuries they have). Every night was super fun and our riders had such a laugh with us. Flip side take you off the beaten track and we saw some amazing views and swam in some gorgeous waterfalls that we hiked down too, it was so special. The main highlight was day 4, where we met Thiên and Truong’s families. We had the best day wild swimming with them, swimming inside a hidden cave, and drinking too much happy water while teaching everyone Scottish country dancing. Special thanks to Duc Anh, Thiên and especially Truong. Amazing people that made the four days so special!!! Flip side really feels like a family and social enterprise and really supports the staff & the villages in the mountains, it was amazing to see and hear about from a tour company! 10/10

16 April 2024 ★★★★★We just returned from a 14 day trip to Vietnam with FLIPSIDE. The trip was perfect, thanks to Mr. Kevin and his team, who took care of every detail of the organization and were attentive throughout, ensuring that our experience was excellent. They even provided us with tips on some great hotels in Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City. During our trip, we visited Hanoi, Halong Bay (two night by boat, highly recommended for a full experience), did the Ha Giang Loop for 4 days, explored Hoi An and went on a 3-day bike tour in the Mekong Delta. The guides spoke good English and took excellent care of us in each city: Tony in Hanoi and Halong Bay, Nghia in Ha Giang and Tom in the Mekong Delta, all of whom helped us enjoy the journey more. Vietnam is a wonderful country with delicious food and the people are charming. I absolutely recommend it. Many thanks to Mr. Kevin and Flipside Adventure Travel for their excellent work.

3 April 2024 ★★★★★The flipside Ha Giang loop tour was a absolutely incredible experience which left us both completely speechless until now! Diving into the heart of the loop and being given a real experience of the life in which the local people live here was truly amazing. The company puts real emphasis into helping local communities within the loop. You are able to make donations, if you wish, to local families in need and the experience visiting the family really does change your perspective on things. Furthermore, you are taken off the main tracks and see parts of the loop no one else does. However, you still see the incredible scenery and pass through the loops most popular tracks so don’t miss out in incredible views. The easy riders ensure you make plenty of stops for delicious coffee/drinks and have the chance to take plenty of photos and videos to capture the moment! Me & my girlfriend had Ǎn and Dukang (I hope I’ve spelt that correctly) as our easy riders and they were genuinely amazing people. You connect with them over the three/four days and make a real friendship with them! They’re fantastic drivers and go above & beyond to make sure you have a brilliant time. Food was delicious and we never felt hungry as there was so much! The homestays were great too, couples on our tour were given private rooms when possible (which was both nights for us). The flipside team do an amazing job and deserve the most recognition possible! I hope one day to return & do the loop again. It was truly amazing. Thank you to everyone at Flipside, with particular thanks to Ǎn & Dukang! Legends!!

10 April 2024 ★★★★★We just completed a 26 day tour of Vietnam: Hanoi, Ha Giang Loop Tour by motorbike, Halong Bay cruise, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, Cu Chi tunnels, Mekong cycle tour. We arrived by boat in the Cambodian capital and from there, we went to Siem Reap to visit the temples of Angkor. Finally, we traveled to Bangkok, visiting the city's temples, floating markets and parks. We were met for all the transfers, including 4 internal flights, a boat transfer and the cruise. Everything was perfectly organized by Kevin. All tour guides were excellent and very attentive, and the drivers and vehicles were also great. Despite choosing budget hotels, they were good quality. We felt safe and secure throughout the trip. The only accommodation that felt a bit out of place was the one in Bangkok. Flipside Adventure Travel is an agency we highly recommend as they organize tailored tours with half board, diverse activities and at a reasonable price. This experience was particularly special as it was our first trip to Asia.

12 June 2024 ★★★★★Flipside Adventure Travel organized a fabulous 3-week trip for us to Vietnam and Cambodia. We visited Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, traveled by boat on the Mekong River with a bike tour and explored Saigon, Hoi An, Halong Bay and the Ha Giang Loop. A choice was perfectly offered in different hotels and accommodations, allowing everyone to manage their desires and budget. Our travel consultant, Stephen was always ready to answer us on WhatsApp when we needed it. We were really taken care of! Also, when bad weather made us cancel our scuba diving, Stephen quickly found us another plan. The guides were nice and spoke English well; the drivers were good and we loved our trip. Highly recommend Flipside Adventure Travel!

18 January 2024 ★★★★★Our trip to Vietnam was fantastic, one of the best I've ever had. Flipside Adventure Travel was very well organized throughout. We were fortunate to have a wonderful guide, Tony, who was incredibly helpful, kind and patient. The group of fellow travelers were also great. They ranged in age from about 30 to 50 years old and were easy to get along with and friendly. We always made stops at clean restrooms, dined at wonderful restaurants, and stayed in excellent hotels. The itinerary struck a good balance between sightseeing, shopping, downtime, group activities, communal meals, and individual dining choices. I particularly enjoyed visiting Halong Bay, Ha Giang Loop, Saigon, Mekong Delta, Hoi An, trying Vietnamese cuisine, watching water puppetry and more. I would definitely travel with them again and highly recommend this company.
