You might think that Bali’s rainy season is not the best time of year for adventures and even visiting Bali for that matter. Many of you might think that heavy rainfall, muddy trails and overcast days means that off road riding is not possible. But guess what? Bali’s rainy season (lasting from November to April) is one of the island’s hidden gems. It’s a season that can’t be matched with the dry season
So, if you’re wondering if the rain should stop you from riding? The answer is NO! Let’s explore all the magic the island has during the rainy season and why it’s a great destination and time for off road riding.
Once the rain starts to fall, Bali immediately becomes more lush and mystical. The ground becomes a mix of mud and water. Making the surface difficult and slippery. Luckily it doesn’t mean that it rains all day. Yes it rains more than during the dry months, but typically the rainfall comes in short bursts with sunny breaks after.
The trails that were dry and dusty the months before become wet and slippery. The air will also be colder and everything around you gets different shades of green. From the rice fields to the palm trees and the mountain peaks. You might start the early morning with a misty sky and gentle rain showers in the jungle and end your ride with a beautiful sunset on the Tabanan beach.
The best part? You can completely avoid the crowds on the trails. You can ride along Kintamani’s trails and have a closer look at the Balinese culture and nature beyond the tourist trail
Every trail becomes a playground after the rainfall with mud, slick rocks and wet roots. Dirt Biking in muddy conditions will push you beyond your limits and test your skills, it will help you to learn control and get your skills firing. If you’re exploring the Tabanan beach trail for the first time or riding the forest Kintamani tracks during our Multi Day Tour, riding in the rain makes everything more exciting and challenging.
Bali is full of beautiful and mystical forests and jungles and one of the best ways to explore this is to ride in the rain. It will feel like you’re riding through a movie set when you ride through the jungle of Tabanan, Kintamani Forest or on the trails of Mount Batur.
The island can get pretty hot during the dry season. But during the rainy months, it’s cooler and more comfortable especially after the drizzle. That means you can ride longer and stay more energized!
During Bali’s wet season there are usually less tourists on the island. Perfect to ride trails that are less crowded. With plenty of space to learn all the basics, you can enjoy the ride and work on your skills. If you’re looking for the full package, you can always join our 7 Day Enduro Tour.

A beginner’s dream trail that is set along the long stretch of Tabanan Beach. Soft and wet sand provides a better surface for beginners to ride on, while the sea breeze keeps things cool. A great trail for riders of all levels no matter what the weather is like.
This jungle trail is more challenging, even in good weather. With its roots, rocks and narrow paths. When it rains this trail becomes a bigger challenge, muddy and slippery. This requires riding with more control, so it’s a trail for intermediate to advanced riders. The ones that want to challenge themselves.
The forest Kinatamni trail goes right through the heart of Bali. A thick, green forest that becomes even more magical when it rains. This is also a ride for experienced riders who want to experience Bali’s pure nature and the obstacles.
Both of these trails stay pretty good during the rainy season. The Volcano Kintamani trail is tough and rocky. And even when the weather is dry this one is a challenge. Even with a lot of mud, slippy roads and steep slopes, this trail is still in very good condition during the rainy season. This trail is best for pro enduro riders who want a serious challenge.
