Ride Beyond the Resort and
Explore the Island

Venture out of the resort on two wheels by hopping on an electric mountain bike and exploring Rote Island on guided cycling routes designed for every level of rider. Ride beneath gently swaying palm trees along scenic coastal paths and through traditional villages where weaving, music, and daily rituals continue unchanged by time.

Our private cycling tours around Rote’s diverse landscapes are of various lengths. Cycle down the rolling hills at exhilarating speeds or cruise across the flat landscapes. The pace you choose to pedal around Rote is up to you. This is a fun activity that you can do alone or as part of a group that will immerse you in the culture and nature of Indonesia’s most south-eastern corner.

Guided around Rote on your e-bike, our expert team will curate the perfect route to suit your ability and enthusiasm. The experiences you’ll have on this tailored activity will leave a lasting memory as one of the best things you did in Rote.

The Trails

Named after the traditional word for “sacred water,” Oe Lulik is a gentle cycling journey that leads guests from the NIHI Rote coastline into the island’s quiet heart. This 12-kilometer guided ride winds through breezy coconut groves, peaceful village roads, and forested paths that culminates at the serene Lake Oehela. Enjoy leisure time and have a swim, and a prepared picnic beside the mirror-like freshwater lagoon.

Once you’re ready to leave, a private vehicle returns you to the resort.

Known as Lalan Runa, or “The Spirit Path,” this short but powerful 8.4-kilometer guided ride takes you through the wilder heart of the island through dense jungle, rocky trails, and ancient hillsides.

The trail crests at a breathtaking lookout over Bo’a Beach, where you are welcomed with chilled drinks while soaking in the view.

Meet Gilberd, a local Rotanese and graduate of the NIHI Rote Hospitality Academy.

When he first joined the academy, Gilberd didn’t speak English. Through his studies, he learned the language and developed the skills and knowledge to build a future in hospitality.

Today, he works as a bartender at NIHI Rote. His journey from student to graduate, and now to a member of the team, is a testament to how much can change with learning, dedication and opportunity.

We’re proud to celebrate how far Gilberd has come and all that lies ahead.
