Ayung White Water Rafting and Bali ATV Ride Packages
Book on Viator →Operated by Bali Rafting Tours · Bookable on Viator
Two Bali hits in one half-day block. This package strings together Ayung River rafting with a countryside ATV quad ride from Ubud, with pickup and drop-off options so you spend less time figuring out transport. If you want variety without juggling separate vendors, the combined format is the point.
I really like two parts of the setup: the air-conditioned private car pickup (from lots of south Bali areas) and the fact that both activities come with a trained guide/instructor plus safety gear. That means you’re not just handed equipment and pointed at a river or a bike—there’s real structure to your day.
One thing to watch is your final price match. ATV single vs tandem, rafting-only vs combo, and pickup zone can change what you feel you’re paying for, so compare the exact option before you commit.

Key things to know before you go

- Start time is 8:00 am, and the full plan runs about 6 to 8 hours
- Safety kit is included: helmet, life jacket, and boot shoes for rafting and ATV
- You get buffet lunch plus showers and changing rooms after the messier parts
- ATV options matter: single requires a higher minimum age than tandem
- This is private to your group, so you’re not mixing into a random crowd
How the Ayung + ATV combo fits into your 6–8 hour day

The day is built like a practical adventure schedule: an early start, two main activity blocks, and then the “recovery stuff” in between—food, showers, and time to reset. The rafting portion is about 2 hours, the ATV ride is about 2 hours, and the rest of the time is used for safety briefings, transport, and the lunch stop.
This matters because both activities are hands-on. Rafting gets you wet and busy right away; ATV riding needs concentration too. Doing them in one package works best if you’re the type who likes a full day of movement, not a slow sightseeing rhythm.
Also note the tour is offered as a private tour/activity, so your group stays together. That can make the timing feel less chaotic than multi-party setups.

Ayung River rafting at Bali Pertiwi: what you’re really doing for 2 hours
Your rafting stop is at Bali Pertiwi Rafting on the Ayung River, and the plan is set up for fun in a safe, guided way. During the dry season, it’s framed as great for a wide range of people, including families—so you’re not just chasing extreme rapids.
What I like here is the mix of action and viewing time. The route is described as letting you enjoy wildlife and Bali scenery as you float and pass through areas that can include rice fields and jungle. There’s also mention of a chance to look for a waterfall, which is the kind of detail that turns a standard rafting run into something you remember.
Practical reality check: rafting is still rafting. You’ll want to come prepared for getting splashed, and you should treat camera time as something you do between drops, not during every moment. The included gear helps, but your comfort still depends on how you dress.
What to bring for rafting comfort
- Sunscreen (you’ll be outside before, during, and after)
- Camera (waterproof or at least protected)
- A change of clothes for later (they provide changing facilities, but you still need clean clothes)
Included convenience
You get lockers, towels, showers, and changing rooms, which is a big deal after you’ve been in the river. It’s the difference between leaving feeling refreshed and leaving feeling sticky.
ATV quad biking with Bali Pertiwi Adventure: easy thrills or technical terrain

The ATV stop is Bali Pertiwi Adventure, and the ride is about 2 hours with an instructor. You’ll start with a full safety briefing, then ride through a variety of terrain and surroundings such as rice terraces, tunnels, bamboo forest, jungle sections, river crossings, and villages.
Here’s the useful part: the instructor can scale the ride. If you want a calmer experience, the ride can feel like scenic adventure time through countryside views and agricultural areas. If you want a stronger challenge, the description says you’ll be guided over more technical terrain—steeper slopes, downhill sections, and power-intensive climbs back up.
That means you’re not locked into one style. You can treat the ride like a choose-your-own-adrenaline plan, depending on what your comfort level is that day.
ATV age limits you can’t ignore
- Minimum age for the overall adventure is 5 years, with max age 60
- ATV single ride minimum age is 12
- Children 5–11 can ride tandem only, and they must be accompanied by an adult on the tandem
- Tandem bookings must be in multiples of 2 (example: 2, 4, 6, 8…)
If your group has kids, get this straight at booking. Tandem rules can affect how you pair people and which ATV option you should choose.
Pickup and drop-off across Ubud and south Bali: where logistics can make or break the day

This is one of the reasons the package feels “easy.” Pickup and drop-off are offered, and the tour includes private transport in a fully air-conditioned car. That matters because you’re doing two physical activities in one day—time and fatigue add up fast.
Pickup is listed from a long list of south Bali areas, including Sanur, Denpasar, Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Tuban, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, and Canggu. So if you’re not staying in Ubud itself, you still have options.
One more helpful point: because this is set up as a private tour for your group, you’re less likely to feel like a moving piece in a busy conveyor belt. You’ll still start at 8:00 am, but your pacing can feel more controlled.
Lunch, showers, and the stuff you’ll be grateful for later

Lunch is included and described as an Indonesian buffet lunch. There’s also a vegetarian option available if you request it at booking, which is important because buffet days can turn into last-minute scramble days if no one told the kitchen.
They also include practical post-activity comfort items: lockers, towels, showers, and changing rooms. This is a quiet win. Rafting and ATV both mean sweat, sun exposure, and wet gear. Having a place to rinse and change makes the whole day end more smoothly.
What to wear
The dress code is smart casual. That doesn’t mean you should show up in fancy clothes. It means you should bring clothes you don’t mind getting in the sun and that you’ll be able to change out of quickly.
Safety gear and instruction: what’s included, and what you should still pay attention to

Safety equipment is included for both parts of the adventure: helmet, life jacket, and boot shoes. A professional rafting guide and an ATV ride instructor are part of the package too.
The value here isn’t just the gear. It’s the fact that the ATV ride includes a full safety briefing before you start driving, and rafting is described as guided and designed for safe fun, especially in dry season conditions.
Still, your role matters:
- Listen during the briefing.
- Don’t assume ATV handling will feel the same as a bicycle or scooter.
- Wear sunscreen and protect your eyes from sun glare if you can.
Price and value: why $100 can be fair (or frustrating) depending on your option

The headline price is $100 per person, and the package includes a lot for that money: guides/instructors, safety kit, lunch, private A/C transport, lockers and showers, and insurance coverage plus tax and services.
Where people often get annoyed with adventure bundles is not the existence of an attraction fee—it’s the mismatch between what they think is included and what they actually chose. One published complaint focused on perceived pricing, and the provider’s response emphasized that private hotel pickup/drop-off is included and that pricing can vary based on group size and booking details. So treat this as a reminder to verify the exact combo you’re buying.
To judge value for your trip, compare these “big items” across options:
- Are you buying single ATV or tandem ATV?
- Are you buying rafting only, ATV only, or the combo?
- Does your hotel area clearly match the pickup list you’re using?
- Are you covered by the included lunch and the included showers/changing?
If you’re checking those boxes, the price starts to look more like a bundled convenience fee than a shock cost.
Who this tour suits best (and who should reconsider)

This combo works well if you want:
- Two adrenaline-style activities in one day
- A plan with pickup and drop-off so you’re not hunting scooters after rafting
- A day that ends with showers and a real meal
- A structured experience with safety equipment and instruction
It may be less ideal if:
- You’re extremely price-sensitive and only want one activity
- Your group has kids who need tandem riding rules clearly matched in advance
- You’re not comfortable in wet/outdoor conditions (even with safety gear, rafting is wet work)
Age limits also matter. Minimum age for the adventure is 5, max age is 60, and ATV single has a higher minimum than tandem. If your group spans that range, plan your ATV option carefully.
Weather and river conditions: why timing matters
Rafting-style tours depend on real-world weather. This experience notes that it requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. Even when it runs, conditions can affect how the day feels—so keep your schedule flexible when you can.
Should you book this ATV + Ayung rafting package?
If you want a straightforward Ubud adventure with pickup, safety gear, lunch, and a private-group feel, I think this package is worth a look. The included transport and post-activity facilities (lockers, towels, showers, changing rooms) are exactly the kind of “small” things that keep a busy day fun instead of miserable.
That said, book only after you confirm your exact option: raft vs ATV vs combo, single vs tandem, and your pickup/drop-off area. The one real red flag pattern here isn’t the existence of an attraction—it’s confusion about what you’re paying for. If you match the package to your group needs, the $100 price can feel like good value for a day that combines countryside ATV time with Ayung River rafting.
