Quad bikes in Ubud are a fun way to move fast.

This guided ATV tour sends you past rice fields, jungle, tunnels, a river, and a waterfall, so you’re not just riding in circles. You’ll spend about 2 hours on the ATV, then the rest of the day is transport, safety briefing, and meals.

I like how the experience is built around real comfort and control: you get all equipment (including a helmet) plus a professional guide who stays focused on your group. You can choose a single or tandem quad bike, and you’ll also get lunch and coffee/tea to keep the energy up.

One thing to think about before you book: the track can be physically demanding. If you’re not comfortable on uneven terrain or you’re traveling with someone who needs an easier route, ask questions ahead of time and set expectations with the team.

Key highlights worth your attention

• 2-hour ATV ride: the main event is long enough to feel like a true adventure
• Private tour style: your guide gives your group their full attention
• Included meals: lunch plus coffee/tea are part of the package
• A route with variety: rice fields, jungle sections, tunnels, and waterfall/river sights
• Pickup option + A/C transport: less stress, more time outside
• Most travelers can participate: but the terrain is not flat and easy

ATV quad biking from Ubud: what you’re signing up for

This is a classic Bali “ride-and-see” setup. You’re not doing a slow scenic drive. You’re on an ATV for about two hours, following your guide through changing ground—rice paddies, jungle edges, and man-made trail bits like tunnels. That mix is why the experience feels like more than a photo stop.

The price also helps explain the appeal. At $39.99 per person, you’re getting the ATV experience plus what many separate tours charge extra for: helmet, lunch, coffee/tea, and professional guiding. For a lot of visitors, that’s the sweet spot—pay once, show up ready, and let the team handle the pacing.

If you’re thinking this is a calm “easy ride,” adjust your expectations. ATV time is meant to be active. Even when the route is controlled, you’ll still feel the bumps, the turns, and the uneven patches.

Getting from your hotel to Pertiwi Adventure (and back again)

Most versions of this day run with round-trip hotel transfer options, using an air-conditioned vehicle and private transportation. The goal is simple: you get picked up, you ride, you eat, and you return to the meeting point area afterward.

The activity is centered at Pertiwi Adventure (in the Bongkasa Pertiwi area). From there, the team organizes your time on the track and keeps the day moving so you aren’t waiting around for long stretches.

You’ll also have a scheduling advantage. There are numerous departure times, which matters in Bali, where traffic and weather can shift quickly. If your schedule is tight, you’ll likely find a slot that fits your day rather than losing half your plans.

The 2-hour ATV track: rice fields, jungle sections, and tunnel moments

The headline is the 2-hour ATV ride through Bali’s countryside. What makes it interesting is the variety described for the route: rice fields, waterfall area, river sections, jungle trails, tunnels, and villages. That variety usually means you’re changing scenery often enough to stay engaged, instead of repeating the same tight loop.

What you should plan for:

• Expect a guided pace, not freestyle racing. Your guide leads the route and helps keep your group together.
• Wear gear like you mean it. A helmet is included, but you’ll still want comfortable clothes and closed shoes that can handle dust and getting a little dirty.
• Bring a realistic mindset. If you’re looking for a smooth, flat ride like a paved road, ATV trails in Bali won’t match that.

One practical tip: since the track can be challenging, it’s smart to communicate clearly at check-in—especially if you have any mobility issues or you’re traveling with younger riders. Even though most travelers can participate, “can” doesn’t always mean “feels easy.”

Waterfall and river stops: how the sights work with the riding

This tour is designed so the scenic moments are part of the route, not separate sightseeing bus blocks. As you ride, the plan includes waterfall and river scenery along the way, plus pass-through areas near villages.

That structure is useful for you because it saves time. You’re not spending long stretches parked. You’re getting moving time, then quick moments to absorb what you’re passing. In a place like Ubud, where you can burn daylight fast hopping between areas, that kind of pacing is a win.

Also, keep an eye on the weather. The experience notes that it requires good weather. If conditions are rough, expect the team to adjust dates (you’ll typically be offered another date or a full refund if canceled due to poor weather). For a rainy-day rider, the trail can turn messy quickly, and the team has to prioritize safety.

Lunch and coffee/tea: included, and timed to make sense

One of the strongest value points is that lunch is included, along with coffee and/or tea. That matters because many ATV tours try to sell you food later, which can be annoying if you’re hungry and dusty. Here, food is part of the flow.

In practice, this kind of meal timing helps you avoid the most common travel problem: you burn energy on the track, then you have to hunt for lunch. When lunch is already scheduled, you can keep your day simple.

A small-but-important note: the experience list says video or photo isn’t included. If you want those extras, you’ll likely need to pay separately on-site if the provider offers it. Either way, it’s good to know upfront so lunch isn’t the moment you realize you forgot your plan for photos.

Private guide energy: the best part when it goes right

The tour is structured as a private tour/activity, meaning it’s only your group. You also get a professional guide, and you’re positioned to receive full attention from that guide.

When things go well, that’s where you feel the difference. A strong guide can manage spacing, help riders stay confident on trickier trail bits, and keep the group safe without turning the ride into a lecture. Positive feedback you’ll see for this kind of tour usually centers on the guide being excellent, the track being well handled, and the whole day feeling organized enough that you don’t lose time.

That said, there’s a caution worth respecting: one critical account complained about organization and described the track as difficult for everyone on the tour. I can’t confirm the specific cause, but it’s a good reminder to ask questions before you go—especially if your group includes mixed experience levels. If you’re booking for multiple families or riders with different comfort levels, make sure everyone knows the ride is active and not purely gentle.

Price check: is $39.99 actually good value?

At $39.99 per person, this deal looks solid for what’s included. You get:

• ATV access and helmet
• A professional guide
• 2-hour ATV ride
• Lunch plus coffee/tea
• Air-conditioned vehicle and private transportation
• All fees and taxes (as listed)

What you don’t get:

• Video/photo
• Personal expenses

Here’s the real value angle for you: ATV tours in Bali can get expensive fast when you add the things people usually ask for after they arrive—meals, transport, and basic safety gear. This package bundles those basics in one price. If you want a “one booking, one day plan” experience, that’s exactly the kind of value you’re paying for.

The only reason the value could feel weaker is if the track difficulty doesn’t match your group. If you’re worried about comfort or confidence, the best move is to clarify rider expectations early. When the ride fits, the price makes sense.

Who this ATV adventure suits best (and who should slow down)

This tour is a good match if you want:

• An active Bali day without planning your own route
• A guided ATV ride with countryside variety
• A private feel, with your guide focused on your group
• Included food and drinks that keep you from extending the day

It’s also a decent option for families in the “everyone has a basic comfort with the outdoors” category. The setup allows you to ride a single or tandem quad bike, which can help if some riders want to share the experience.

Who should think twice:

• Anyone who needs a very easy, flat route
• People who may struggle with uneven terrain or getting on/off the ATV
• Groups where half the team wants a mellow day and the other half wants adrenaline

If you’re in that last category, you’ll get the best result by setting expectations early and choosing the ride style (single vs tandem) that fits each person.

Tips for a smoother, safer quad bike day

These are practical, based on how ATV days usually work and what this tour includes.

• Wear closed shoes that can handle dirt. Sandals and flip-flops are a bad combo with trail dust and footing.
• Use a secure helmet fit. The helmet is included, but you still want it snug—not wobbling.
• Bring something for dust (a scarf or light cloth can help with grit in your face).
• Plan for a getting-dirty day. You’re riding in countryside trails, so keep your “nice clothes” for dinner.
• Ask about ride suitability if your group includes mixed ages or experience levels. The route is described as varied, including jungle and tunnel sections, which typically means uneven trail work.

Should you book the Bali ATV Ride in Ubud?

I’d book this if you want a guided ATV day that’s good value, includes lunch and coffee/tea, and offers variety beyond a single straight trail. The private guide setup plus the included equipment makes it easy to show up and enjoy the ride.

I’d pause before booking if anyone in your group is likely to struggle with a more difficult track. In that case, ask the provider how the route works for different comfort levels and choose single vs tandem accordingly.

Finally, remember the weather note. Since the experience requires good weather, you’ll want a day on your calendar where you can shift if needed. If the provider has to cancel due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund, so you’re not stuck.
