Bali ATV Ride And Ubud River Rafting With All Inclusive

Two Bali adventures fit into one day. This Ubud combo pairs a two-hour Ayung River rafting trip with a two-hour ATV ride through rice fields, bamboo forest, riverbanks, and village scenery. I like the way transportation, safety equipment, guides, lunch, drinks, and insurance are included, and I also like the private-tour setup, which keeps your group together rather than placing you into a large mixed party. The main drawback is the pace: eight hours of rafting, quad biking, road transfers, and changing clothes can make for a full and tiring day.

The rafting gives you cool water, forest views, and hidden waterfalls. The ATV section adds mud, open tracks, and a closer look at rural Bali. You also stop at a coffee plantation, though the available details do not say how long that stop lasts or what tastings are included.

Key points at a glance

• Two major activities in one day: You get about two hours of Ayung River rafting and two hours on a quad bike.
• Private transportation: Pickup and transfers are included, so you do not need to arrange separate rides between Ubud and the activity sites.
• Rafting with an instructor: A professional guide leads the river section, and safety equipment is provided.
• ATV through rural Bali: The route passes rice fields, bamboo forest, lush riverbanks, and traditional Balinese villages.
• Lunch is included: A buffet meal is served at a rice-field restaurant with jungle views.
• Strong value at $73.32: Transport, equipment, guides, food, drinks, and insurance make this a useful package for an active day.

Why this Ubud combination works

Ubud is often associated with temples, art, rice terraces, wellness, and long lunches. That is part of its appeal, but the area also offers an easy base for outdoor activities. This tour puts two very different kinds of action into one booking: rafting is water-based and guided, while the ATV ride gives you control of your own vehicle.

I like that contrast. On the river, you rely on the instructor and work with the current. On the quad bike, you set your own speed within the guide’s instructions. The day does not feel like repeating the same activity twice.

The private-tour format is also useful. Your group is the only group participating in the private activity, so the day should feel more personal than a large coach excursion. That does not mean every part is private in the same way, since the rafting and ATV operations may have their own shared activity setup, but your transportation and tour arrangement are private.

At about eight hours, this is not a casual half-day outing. You should set aside most of the day and expect to get wet, muddy, and tired. For many people, that is exactly the point.

Rafting the Ayung River for two hours

The first major activity takes you onto the Ayung River, Bali’s best-known rafting river near Ubud. The route is presented as an eco-adventure, with tall trees, riverbanks, hidden waterfalls, and places where you can cool off in the water.

The river section lasts about two hours. That is long enough to feel like a real outing rather than a short splash, but it is still manageable for someone trying rafting for the first time. A professional rafting guide leads the trip, and the necessary safety equipment is included.

I like the mix of scenery and activity here. You are not simply being pulled along a river for views. You are part of the boat crew, following instructions, reacting to the water, and moving through a natural setting that is hard to appreciate from a road. The forest and waterfalls provide the visual reward between active stretches.

The cool water can be especially welcome in Bali’s heat. The tour description also notes opportunities to plunge in and cool off, so bring a willingness to get thoroughly wet. You should not treat the rafting section as a dry sightseeing cruise.

A practical point: wear clothing and footwear that you do not mind soaking. The information provided confirms that safety equipment is supplied, but it does not specify whether towels, lockers, or changing facilities are included. Bathrooms are mentioned as part of the overall facilities, yet you should still pack your own basic change of clothes and keep valuables to a minimum.

The guide matters here. Rafting is more enjoyable when instructions are clear and the pace feels controlled. The tour includes a guide or instructor, and the available praise for the service highlights the care shown by drivers Putu Bendi and Joke. That attention is useful on a day when timing, transfers, and activity handoffs all matter.

Lunch with rice-field and jungle views

After rafting, you stop for lunch at a restaurant in the rice fields. The meal is described as a buffet, with drinks included, and the setting offers views toward jungle and cultivated fields.

This is more than a convenient meal break. After two hours on the river, you need time to dry off, eat, and regain energy before getting on an ATV. A buffet also makes the meal practical for a mixed group, since you can choose what suits you rather than wait for one fixed dish.

The setting adds a distinctly Ubud touch. You are eating near rice fields rather than in a generic roadside dining room. The information does not list the buffet menu, so I would not book this expecting a specific Balinese dish or a special dietary program. If you have food restrictions, confirm what can be provided before you go.

Lunch is included in the $73.32 price, along with drinks. That helps the overall value. You are not paying for two activities and then discovering that the middle of the day requires another meal purchase.

The two-hour ATV ride through rural Bali

The second major activity uses a quad bike on a route through rice fields, bamboo forest, riverbanks, and traditional Balinese villages. This is the more hands-on part of the day. You drive the ATV rather than simply sit back and watch.

The route promises a mix of surfaces and scenery. Rice fields offer open views, bamboo forest creates a more enclosed ride, and riverbanks bring the trail closer to water and vegetation. Passing villages adds a human element, though the experience is still an outdoor motor activity rather than a village walking tour.

The ATV session lasts about two hours. That gives you enough time to get comfortable with the controls and experience more than a short practice circuit. An instructor is included, and safety equipment is provided. You should follow the guide’s instructions closely, especially if the track is muddy or uneven.

The biggest attraction is variety. You can expect the ride to feel more memorable than driving around a flat, enclosed course. At the same time, off-road riding is not for everyone. If you dislike mud, rough tracks, or operating a motor vehicle, this part may feel like work rather than fun.

The package description says you drive a quad bike yourself. It does not explain the exact rules for single riders, shared riding, age limits, or driving credentials. Most people can participate, but you should confirm any specific requirement that applies to you before booking.

Bathrooms and safety equipment are provided. Insurance is also included, which is reassuring for an activity involving vehicles and uneven terrain. That does not remove the need to drive carefully. Insurance details can vary, so read the coverage terms if you have concerns about exclusions or personal responsibility.

The coffee plantation stop

The day ends with a stop at a coffee plantation. This adds a slower, more commercial-style visit after the river and ATV activities.

A plantation stop can be a pleasant way to wind down. You may get a look at local coffee production and have a chance to pause before returning to Ubud. It also breaks up the heavy action of the day.

The available details do not state how long the visit lasts, whether a tasting is included, or whether shopping is expected. I would treat it as an additional stop rather than one of the main reasons to book. If you are especially interested in coffee, ask for more information before confirming.

What the private transportation adds

Private transportation is included, with pickup offered. That is a major convenience in Bali, where getting between Ubud and outdoor activity sites can take time and road conditions can slow the journey.

You avoid arranging separate drivers, finding the rafting base, and working out how to reach the ATV starting point. The driver also becomes the link between the day’s different parts. The warm comments connected to Putu Bendi and Joke point to the value of a friendly, attentive driver who helps the day run smoothly.

Pickup details are not listed, so you should confirm the exact meeting point and pickup time. Since the total duration is around eight hours, a clear morning start matters. A late departure could make the day feel rushed, especially with two activities and lunch to fit in.

Because this is a private tour, it suits you if you want your own group rather than a large scheduled bus. It is also useful for families or friends who prefer to manage their own pace during transfers, though the activities themselves will still follow the operators’ safety rules and timing.

Is $73.32 good value?

At $73.32 per person, the price is strong for a full day that includes two substantial activities. You are getting private transportation, safety equipment, guides or instructors, welcome drinks, lunch, insurance, and a coffee plantation stop.

The value becomes clearer when you separate the package into its parts. A rafting trip alone requires transport, equipment, a river guide, and a meal or refreshment stop. An ATV outing also requires a vehicle, instruction, protective equipment, and a suitable off-road route. Combining both saves you from booking two separate days and arranging the transfers yourself.

The price does not include photos or a DVD. Those are available to purchase, but they are optional. I would not count them as part of the value, and you should decide in advance how much you want to spend on activity photos.

The package is less attractive if you only want a relaxed day in Ubud. You are paying for movement and activity, not quiet sightseeing. It also may not suit someone who would rather spend more time at one attraction instead of switching from river gear to ATV gear.

Who should book this adventure?

I would recommend it to you if you want a high-energy Bali day and like the idea of combining water and motor activity. It suits couples, friends, families with eligible participants, and small private groups who want more than temples and cafés.

It is especially useful if your Ubud schedule is short. Rather than spending separate days arranging rafting and quad biking, you can handle both in one organized outing.

You should think twice if you have mobility concerns, strongly dislike getting wet or muddy, or want a quiet cultural experience. The information says most people can participate, but it does not provide detailed accessibility guidance or specific physical requirements. Ask before booking if you need accommodations.

The day also favors people who are comfortable with a full schedule. You will need energy for rafting, a meal break, ATV riding, and transfers. The reward is variety, but there is little idle time.

Booking and cancellation details

Confirmation is provided when you book, and mobile tickets are available. Group discounts may also be offered, which could improve the price for a larger party.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the experience begins. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted, and the cut-off follows local Bali time.

Because the tour includes outdoor activities, I would check the weather forecast and your group’s comfort level before the final cancellation window. Once you are inside that 24-hour period, flexibility is limited.

Should you book the Bali ATV and rafting tour?

Book it if you want two recognizable Bali adventure activities handled in one day, with transport, lunch, equipment, instructors, drinks, and insurance already arranged. I especially like the balance between guided river action and self-driven ATV riding, plus the rural route through fields, bamboo, riverbanks, and villages.

Skip it if your ideal Ubud day means slow meals, temples, or art galleries. The eight-hour schedule is active, and the ATV portion may be too rough for anyone who dislikes mud or uneven trails.

For the price, this is a sensible pick for an action-focused day. Bring clothes you can get wet and dirty, keep valuables light, confirm pickup details, and ask about any health, age, or riding requirements that matter to your group.
