Cycling is one of the best ways to see Bugala Island. It is healthy, low-impact, cheap and good for the environment, and it suits everyone from teenagers to older adults.

Bikes are available on site for self-guided tours. Whether you want to see the island’s attractions and scenery or just get some exercise, there is a route for you: relaxing, flat rides into Kalangala town and along quiet village roads, or more challenging off-road cycling on forest tracks. Ask our team for route ideas before you set off.

Bike hire price

UGX 30,000 (about US$8) per bike, per day.

Tips for cycling in Kalangala

  • Go early morning or late afternoon, when it is cooler.
  • Carry water and sun protection; roads can be red-dirt and dusty in dry season.
  • Tell reception your planned route before you leave.
