This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 workshops & classes worth the money, each with its price, its rider verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Start in a parking lot with scooter theory, controls, balance, and turning practice. Instructors such as Agus, Gede, and Krisna teach privately and move to quiet village streets only when you feel ready. Plan on two or three lessons for most learners, and bring a valid license.
“Very good teachers and patient. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn to ride the boys are legends!”
Spend five hours in Ben Tre buying fresh ingredients at a local market, tasting fruit and street food, then cooking four to five Mekong dishes with a local chef. Pickup is available in Ben Tre city, and groups are limited to eight people.
“We had a great day and really enjoyed this cooking class. We could choose the dishes by ourselves from a menu. In the morning we went to the market to buy the ingredients. During cooking everything was explained to us and afterwards we had a perfect lunch.”
This private two-hour lesson starts near Jalan Raya Canggu and builds scooter skills in stages. You first use a powered bicycle, then move to a scooter and helmet. Instructors including Raffi and Dio explain basic control, Bali road rules, and ways to avoid trouble with police.
“Raffi was amazing and patient. Went through a quiet road and ended up in a busier road with Raffi at the back ensuring that I was calm. I would strongly recommend these training, especially with you’re not comfortable with the roads in Bali: 1. Very helpful &friendly 2 Very professional & enthusiastic Thank you the team and Raffi!”
Start with pickup in Kuta, Seminyak, Jimbaran, Uluwatu, Sanur, or Denpasar. An instructor such as Iqbal or Chris teaches scooter controls, braking, turning, intersections, and Bali road habits before you practice on a quiet village street.
“Iqbal was my instructor, he was very patient and explained everything from how to start the engine to how to go through intersections in Bali. If it's your first time driving in a country with this much traffic or first time driving on a scooter it's definietly a must do lesson”
Start with scooter theory, then practice balance, turning, braking, and throttle control with an English or Indonesian instructor. After basic drills, ride a quiet village street. The two-hour lesson includes a scooter, helmet, knee and elbow protection, mineral water, and pickup within Canggu.
“I would recommend this to EVERYBODY who wants to drive a scooter in Bali, even if you drive one back home. Traffic and rules here are different so it is a great way to have solid foundations and be safe on the roads.”
Start with Hoi An pickup and ride by Vespa through rice fields and village lanes. Visit Cam Chau Market and Tra Que Vegetable Village, then cook green mango salad, crispy pancake, and clay-pot caramelized fish with an English-speaking chef before lunch and return transfer.
“Fantastic tour with great guides, saw lots of places we would never have seen in the beautiful country if we had not been on the tour. Thorough recommend.”
By machine, by hour of the day, or by who is driving.
