Full-Day Scooter Ride to Munduk and Lovina: Route, Tips, and How to Rent

A full-day scooter ride to Munduk and Lovina is one of the most enjoyable ways to see the cooler, quieter north side of Bali. This guide covers the route, estimated travel times, what to prepare, and how to rent a scooter from SiapPergi.

North Bali is often considered the calmer part of the island compared with Kuta or Seminyak. The road from Ubud or Bedugul up to Munduk winds through hills and clove plantations, then drops down to Lovina on the north coast. On a scooter you can stop at waterfalls, coffee stalls, or roadside viewpoints without following a tour schedule.

Suggested Route

Many visitors start from Ubud or Denpasar and climb through Bedugul. A common order looks like this:

1. Leave early from the Ubud or Denpasar area, ideally before 08.00.
2. Pass Bedugul and Lake Beratan, then continue on the road toward Munduk.
3. Stop in Munduk to see the waterfalls and plantations, and have lunch.
4. Head down to Lovina before evening, and enjoy the beach and the dolphin watching the next morning if you are staying over.

The times above are rough guides only. Fog, rain and winding roads often slow the trip, so leave a spare buffer.

What to Prepare Before You Set Off

The Munduk and Lovina roads are fairly steep and twisty, and highland weather can change quickly. Things worth preparing:

• A raincoat for fog and brief showers. Available as an add-on from SiapPergi from Rp15.000.
• A full tank of fuel before leaving Ubud or Bedugul, since petrol stations can be less frequent on the upper roads.
• A properly fitting helmet. Every scooter rental from SiapPergi includes 2 helmets.
• Riding documents: a valid motorcycle licence. Foreign visitors generally carry their home licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) with the motorcycle category. These rules are set by the police and can change, so check official sources before you travel.
• A phone holder and a powerbank, since the views in Munduk are often worth photographing.

Safe Riding Tips

• The descent toward Lovina is quite steep. Use a low gear and do not rely on the brakes alone.
• Avoid riding after heavy rain on slippery slopes.
• Stop in wide, safe spots rather than on bends.
• Do not ride when tired. If you feel drowsy, rest at the nearest stall.

Stay Overnight in Lovina or Return the Same Day

Staying one night in Lovina makes the trip more relaxed, especially if you want to see dolphins in the morning. If you head back south the same day, leaving early is strongly recommended so you are not caught by fading daylight on the mountain roads.
