Bali ATV Quad Bike and White Water Rafting – All Inclusive
Book on Viator →Operated by Bali Local Host · Bookable on Viator
If you like muddy tracks and noisy river rapids, this fits. In Ubud, you get ATV quad biking plus white-water rafting in one all-in ticket day, with hotel pickup and a real jungle-side lunch. It’s the kind of combo day that saves you planning time and keeps the momentum going.
What I really like is the way the day mixes two very different kinds of thrill. The ATV route is described as more than a paved loop, with rice fields, jungle, hills, valleys, and even wet track fun like tunnels. The rafting side also sounds properly guided, with training up front and professional help to run the Ayung River gorge rapids safely.
One thing to think about: this is not a dry, tidy outing. You’re headed toward muddy, wet tracks and river spray, so plan for damp clothes and shoes by the end of the day (even with boots provided).

Your $55 Day in Ubud: One Ticket, Two Action Blocks

This is priced at $55 per person for an all-in package, and that matters because the big costs of adventure days usually pile up fast: transport, guides, equipment, and a meal. Here, you’re getting hotel pickup and drop-off, safety gear, lunch, mineral water, and even insurance—so you’re not piecing it together yourself.
The day is listed at about 8 hours, which is long enough to feel like a full experience, but not so long that you’ll be doing “everything” without enjoying anything. On average, people book about 17 days in advance, so it’s smart to lock it in early if your Bali dates are fixed.
You’ll also get a mobile ticket, and the group size is capped at 14 travelers. That small ceiling isn’t just a nice idea—it’s meant to keep transfers and transitions from turning into a waiting-game.

Pertiwi Adventure: Where You Start, Learn, and Get Equipped

Your day is anchored at Pertiwi Adventure. That’s helpful because it keeps the logistics simpler: you’re not bouncing between totally different companies and check-in points all day. One base point also makes it easier for your guides to manage safety and timing across both activities.
Before you get moving on the water, the schedule includes a short training session at the start point. That’s a great use of time. Even if you’ve been rafting before, quick coaching helps everyone get aligned on paddle rhythm, what to do in a rough section, and how to stay balanced when the boat bumps around.
For equipment, you’re provided all safety equipment, plus a helmet and boots. Boots especially are a deal because wet days in Bali can turn regular shoes into a sad, heavy mess by hour two. If you travel light, this “included gear” detail helps a lot.
Ayung River White-Water Rafting Through Gorge Rapidity

The rafting portion runs on the Ayung River through a gorge setting. The description calls out rapids that are challenging but fun, and it also mentions hidden waterfalls and beaches you may spot along the way. That’s the kind of payoff that keeps rafting from feeling like nonstop splashing.
What matters most is how the trip is managed. You’ll ride a safe, high-quality rubber boat and you’ll be led by a professional guide with experience running the rapids. Before the main action, there’s training so you know how to handle the raft during bouncier sections.
Here’s what you can realistically expect from a day like this: you’ll get mixed water energy—some calmer bits where you can look around, then sudden action when the river pushes back. The “gorge” part is key. Narrower water routes often mean more turns and more concentrated rapids, which is exactly why the experience feels exciting rather than repetitive.
The ATV Quad Ride: Rice Fields, Jungle, Hills, Tunnels, and Mud
After—or alongside—the rafting block, the ATV part is built like a countryside adventure rather than a simple track circle. The route is described as rural and scenic, passing through rice fields, jungle, and areas near river and waterfall scenery.
The ATV trail also includes the kinds of conditions that make quad biking feel like actual off-roading:
- muddy stretches
- up-and-down hills and valleys
- tunnel sections
- wet track fun attractions
That mix is what you want if your goal is to come away feeling like you did something physical and different. If you only want a gentle ride with zero mess, this probably isn’t your best match. But if you want a track that actually changes—terrain, grip, and scenery—you’ll likely enjoy it.
One more detail I like: you’ll have opportunities for photo/selfie moments with emerald green nature. Even if you’re not a big photo person, having a couple of scenic pauses makes the day feel less like a blur.
Lunch at the Finish: Indonesian Buffet With Jungle Views

Once the water adventure ends, you’ll head to the finish point and enjoy a buffet lunch. The lunch is described as Indonesian buffet food served with jungle views, which is a big quality-of-life detail. After rafting and ATV time, you want a meal that feels like a reset—not a tiny snack eaten while still damp and distracted.
The lunch is included, as are mineral water. That helps you avoid the common trap: paying extra for drinks because you’re sweating, rinsing gear, and just trying to get back to comfortable.
This timing also makes practical sense. Your body is ready for a hot meal after time in the elements, and the day’s energy naturally slows down right after the adrenaline. You’ll likely feel more human afterward, not just fed.

Safety, Gear, and the Real Benefit of a 14-Person Limit

Adventure tours feel safer when the staff can actually manage the group. That’s why I appreciate the limit of 14 travelers. Smaller groups usually mean less time waiting for transfers, shorter queues for gear, and fewer chances for instructions to get lost in the shuffle.
You’re also covered with:
- hotel pickup and drop-off
- an activities guide/instructor
- all safety equipment
- helmet and boots
- insurance
Insurance is not glamorous, but it matters. When you’re doing both rafting and ATV riding, it’s good to know the package includes it rather than treating it like an afterthought.
One practical tip: even with helmets and boots provided, bring a small bag for your phone or anything you can’t afford to soak. You won’t need a ton of gear, but it’s worth being ready for splashes and muddy stops.
Value Check: What You’re Actually Paying For

The headline price is $55 per person, and the main value is the bundling. This includes more than just “two activities.” It adds transport (pickup/drop-off), safety equipment, lunch, water, admission to Pertiwi Adventure, and insurance.
If you tried to book rafting and ATV separately, you’d almost certainly pay extra for each of those pieces—especially equipment and transfers. Here, the pricing is structured like a full-day package, which is exactly why it’s popular.
There is one catch that’s worth noting: photos/DVD aren’t included, and they’re listed as available to purchase. If you want action shots, budget a little extra for that. If you don’t care, you can just plan on your own camera or phone.
Who This Tour Suits Best (and Who Might Want a Different Day)

This day is a good fit if you want a classic Bali “nature + adrenaline” combination. You’ll be moving through countryside scenery on ATV, then running the Ayung River rapids with a professional guide.
It also fits well for people who like group structure. The cap of 14 means you’ll get guidance, and the day is planned so you’re not guessing what happens next. And the tour is described as private in the sense that only your group participates, which often feels less chaotic than large shared tours.
Most travelers can participate, but think seriously about wet-and-muddy tolerance. If your idea of a great day includes clean clothes and dry shoes, you might feel annoyed. If you’re okay with getting soaked a bit and leaning into the experience, this is exactly the kind of day that delivers.
The Little Details That Make a Big Difference

A standout detail from the praise you’ll see for this kind of tour is how much the crew helps you enjoy it. One review specifically highlights Made and his team for being friendly and informative, and for doing everything they could for the group. That’s a real quality signal. In practical terms, it often means clearer instructions, smoother timing, and less worry when conditions get wet or the terrain turns tricky.
The same praise points to both sides of the day: rafting feels fun in a scenic setting, and the ATV ride feels thrilling. What I like about that balance is you’re not stuck with one “main” activity while the other feels like an add-on.
Also, remember: the ATV route and the river rafting both include built-in variation. You’re not doing the same thing over and over. That variety tends to keep the 8-hour day from dragging.
Should You Book This Tour?
Yes, book it if you want an all-in Ubud adventure that covers both off-road quad biking and Ayung River white-water rafting in one day, with pickup, included gear, and lunch handled. The price is strong for what’s included, especially the safety equipment, insurance, and meal.
Skip it or choose a different style of day if you’re sensitive to getting muddy and wet, or if you want a low-energy, dry experience. Also, if you care about professional action photos, plan to pay extra since photos/DVD aren’t included.
If your goal is to use Bali time wisely—see nature, get adrenaline, and come home tired in a good way—this package is a practical winner.
