From the airport to your last sunset in Bali.

Private transfers, tours with a local guide and scooter rentals, run by Kadek's family in Uluwatu. Tell us your plans on WhatsApp and we sort out the rest.

Most of our photos look like this.

Kadek was showing travellers around the island for years before the company had a name, and he still ends up in a selfie with almost every one of them.

Born from a friendship in Uluwatu

Tropical Bali Ride started when two Brazilians, Lucas and Murilo, partnered with Kadek and the Ulus family, a local team from Uluwatu that was already taking travellers around the island long before the company existed.

Kadek runs the cars, the drivers and the day-to-day. Lucas and Murilo look after the booking side, so getting a ride is as easy as the ride itself.

Questions we get a lot

How do I book?

Send us a WhatsApp message with the date, where to pick you up and where you're going. We reply with a quote and confirm the booking.

Do you have fixed prices?

The price depends on the route and any stops along the way, so we quote each trip on WhatsApp.

Which areas do you cover?

Transfers run between Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua and Uluwatu. Tours go further, to places like Lempuyang, Lake Beratan and Jatiluwih.

Can I choose where to go on a tour?

Yes. Tell us what you want to see and we build the day around it.

Do you deliver scooters?

Yes, to hotels and villas around Uluwatu, Jimbaran and Nusa Dua. Anywhere else, you can pick it up at our base in Uluwatu.

Is insurance included with the scooter?

Helmets are included, but damage insurance isn't, so the rider is responsible for the scooter during the rental.

Do you speak Portuguese?

Our drivers and guides speak English and Indonesian, some a little Portuguese. The booking chat can be in Portuguese.
