Bali Exciting Thriling Adventure: River Rafting, ATV Ride, Swing
Book on Viator →Operated by Best Bali Things To Do · Bookable on Viator
If you want adrenaline with postcard scenery, this Ubud combo fits the bill. You get Ayung River rafting for a proper splash, then an off-road ATV ride through rice fields and local paths, and you finish with the famous swing view at Tegallalang.
Two things I really like: first, the rafting experience is built around both excitement and scenery (not just a rushed water ride). Second, the Tegallalang stop is a smart change of pace, so you get a dramatic viewpoint after the muddy fun—swinging over the rice terrace if you choose that option.
One consideration: this is a moderate physical activity. The ATV and river time involve uneven terrain and getting wet, so if you prefer easy walking only, you may want to scale back or double-check your comfort level.

Key highlights at a glance

- 1.5-hour ATV adventure through rice paddies, village-like areas, and jungle trail sections
- Tegallalang rice terrace swing option, or you can simply enjoy the afternoon views
- Coffee or tea on arrival plus lunch included, so you’re not scrambling for food
- Air-conditioned roundtrip transport available (depending on your selected option)
- Locker, toilets, and changing rooms on-site to make the wet-and-dry transition easier
A one-day adrenaline mix in Ubud

Ubud can be surprisingly easy to over-plan. This tour avoids that by bundling three different energy levels into one day: water fun on the Ayung River, land adrenaline on an ATV, then a calmer viewpoint moment at Tegallalang. The payoff is variety. You’re not repeating the same kind of scenery for hours.
What makes this combo practical is that it’s designed around set activity blocks with included basics like safety equipment, a guide/instructor, and on-site facilities (lockers, toilets, and changing rooms). That matters because Bali adventure days can turn into chaos when you have to improvise your own timing, snacks, and logistics.
Another real-world plus: the tour operates with a group cap of up to 50 travelers. That doesn’t guarantee a private experience, but it usually keeps things from feeling like a moving fairground.

Ayung River rafting from Kedewatan: splash time with strong scenery

The rafting part is built on the Ayung River, a name that’s practically synonymous with Ubud rafting. You’re looking at about 2 hours on the water, and the goal is that sweet spot: enough rapids to get your adrenaline going, but enough scenery to feel like you’re actually seeing Bali—not just white-knuckling a raft.
Kedewatan is a good starting point because you’re already in the Ubud adventure zone. That reduces wasted time and makes it easier to keep the day flowing.
Here’s what I’d pay attention to, practically:
- Wearables: your day will involve water, so you’ll want clothes that can get wet without ruining your mood. Safety gear is provided, but your comfort depends on what you bring.
- Guide experience matters: the tour includes an instructor/guide for rafting. That’s important because rafting isn’t only about strength—it’s also about how you handle instructions on timing and safety.
- Facilities help: locker and changing rooms are included, so you’re not stuck holding wet stuff while you wait for the next activity.
Even if you’re not a hardcore thrill person, rafting can be the right choice because it naturally blends motion with breaks. You’ll feel the action, then you’ll reset as you float through calmer stretches.
Beji River Adventure ATV: quads through rice fields and jungle trails

After you dry off (or at least pretend you have), the ATV ride is where the day gets more physical. You’re in for about 1.5 hours, and the route is described as off-road exploration through rice paddies, outskirt village areas, and jungle/trail sections that cars can’t reach.
This is the part that’s easiest to oversell online. In real life, ATV riding is more than just going fast—it’s about control over rough ground. That’s why the tour includes an instructor/guide and safety equipment. If you’re new to quad biking, you’ll still get a structured experience instead of feeling like you’re guessing.
A couple of details that help you plan your expectations:
- There’s usually a water replenishment stop during the ATV route. That’s a huge quality-of-life factor because midday heat can sneak up fast.
- The ride includes risky-feeling elements in a controlled way, including the mention of a scary tunnel section. You don’t need to be a stunt rider to enjoy it, but you should be ready for the idea of narrow, enclosed-feeling moments and the kind of uneven track that makes you focus.
And yes, the ATV gives you something rafting doesn’t: movement through smaller corners of the landscape. It’s not only about big views; it’s about seeing the texture of Ubud from the ground—paths, edges of fields, and rural lanes.
Tegallalang swing over rice terraces: a big view reset

By the time you reach Tegallalang, your body will probably welcome the shift from action to scenery. This stop is centered on the famous rice terrace viewpoint area, with time to either do the swing activity or just enjoy the afternoon views, depending on the option you select.
This is a smart end to the day for two reasons. First, it’s the kind of activity where you’re not fighting the clock; you can take photos, soak in the view, and slow your pace. Second, it turns the day’s theme from motion to perspective—you go from moving through nature to standing above it.
The swing itself is described as soaring over the rice terrace below. That’s the main attraction, and it’s popular because it delivers height plus a wide-angle view. Even if you skip the swing, the terrace location is still the reason most people come here.
Practical note: you’ll still likely be thinking about how to manage gear after rafting and ATV. The fact that lockers and changing rooms are included earlier in the day helps set you up for a smoother transition when you’re in the terrace area.
Timing and transport: how the day actually runs

The schedule is flexible: the overall experience is listed as roughly 2 to 10 hours. That wide range usually comes down to things like pickup timing, activity pace, and whether you select the swing option.
Pickup is offered, and roundtrip transportation is available with an air-conditioned vehicle as your selected option. That matters in Ubud because heat and traffic can stretch out a day if you’re relying on taxis between stops. If you choose transport, it tends to keep you from losing chunks of daylight to finding routes or negotiating rides.
The tour also uses a mobile ticket, which is a nice modern touch. Confirmation is provided at booking time, so you’re not left guessing right before you go.
Group size matters too. With a maximum of 50 travelers, you’ll still share the day with others, but it’s not the kind of huge bus-and-flow setup that can feel impersonal.
Price and value: why about $20 can work (and what costs extra)

The headline price is around $20.02 per person, which is low for a day that includes rafting, ATV time, lunch, and transport options. The value comes from the fact that a lot of the usual “add-ons” are already folded in:
- River rafting time with safety gear and instructor
- ATV ride time with safety gear and instructor
- Lunch
- Coffee or tea on arrival
- Locker, toilets, and changing room facilities
- Insurance coverage for activities
That said, “cheap” adventures often come with a catch, and here the extra costs are mostly optional, not hidden:
- Professional photo/video is available on the spot for IDR 260,000 per booking.
- Souvenirs and tipping aren’t included (and tipping is customary in many places).
- Miscellaneous items on the rest area aren’t included.
If you’re trying to keep costs down, you can treat the professional photos as optional. If you want the memories without paying, just plan to bring your own camera/phone and be ready for action shots where possible.
Also, check whether you’re booking as part of a group for potential group discounts. That’s part of the package summary, and it can bring the effective price down further if you’re traveling with friends.
Safety, insurance, and facilities: making the risky bits feel controlled

This is an adventure day, so you’ll want to take the safety side seriously—and the tour does provide the core components:
- Safety equipment is included for both rafting and ATV riding.
- An experience instructor/guide is provided for river rafting and ATV.
- Activities are covered with insurance.
Those points matter because adventure fun relies on feeling secure enough to enjoy yourself. When instructions are clear and equipment is part of the package, you spend less energy worrying and more time focusing on the ride.
Facilities also help you avoid the post-activity scramble. You get lockers, toilets, and changing rooms. That’s a big deal when your day includes water and off-road dust/mud. Having a place to reset between activities is what turns a “good tour” into a “good day.”
One more planning thought: the tour recommends travelers have moderate physical fitness. That’s not about being an athlete. It’s about being comfortable with active movement, uneven ground, and the physical effort of ATV riding and rafting handling.
Lunch, coffee or tea, and the small comfort details that add up

Included food sounds simple, but it changes your energy. You’ll get coffee or tea on arrival and lunch during the day.
Why that matters: adventure activities often tempt you to under-eat because you don’t want to feel heavy right before a ride. Having lunch included means you can manage your energy more calmly instead of hunting for food between stops.
You also don’t have to plan your day around rest spots for basic needs. The package covers lockers, toilets, and changing rooms. When the focus is on water and off-road action, basic comfort becomes a hidden ingredient.
A note on guides and the vibe
One standout detail from the experience is the way guides/drivers can shape the day. In particular, a driver named Mr. April is mentioned as amazing, including singing along during the drive. That’s not something you can guarantee, but it hints at the kind of friendliness you may find on the ground.
So if you enjoy a guide who keeps the mood light and moving, you’re likely to appreciate the tone of this tour.
Who should book this Ubud combo
This tour makes sense if you want:
- Action variety in one day: rafting + ATV + terrace views
- A package with most essentials covered, including lunch and safety equipment
- An experience designed for people with moderate fitness
- The convenience of transport (if you select it), instead of coordinating between separate activities
It’s also a good fit for visitors who don’t want to spend Ubud days researching three different bookings. You get a planned flow that keeps you from timing everything on your own.
Who should skip or adjust
I’d consider skipping or choosing a simpler version if:
- You strongly prefer low-effort experiences and don’t want to deal with wet and active terrain
- You’re sensitive to enclosed or scary-feeling moments (there’s mention of an ancient tunnel section in the ATV experience description)
- You want a long, slow cultural tour with minimal physical activity
This isn’t a sit-and-stroll-only day. It’s built for people who want to move, get splashed, and still end with great views.
Should you book this Bali adventure?
Yes, I think you should book it if your ideal Bali day looks like a clean combo: 2 hours of Ayung River rafting, 1.5 hours of ATV riding, and a Tegallalang viewpoint/swing finish. The value is the main reason. You’re paying for real activities, and the package already covers the key basics like safety gear, instructor support, lunch, lockers, and insurance.
Book with extra attention if you know you’ll struggle with moderate physical effort or if you want a fully relaxed day. In that case, you might prefer fewer moving parts.
If you’re the type who likes to feel satisfied at the end of the day—wet, tired, smiling, and able to say you saw Ubud from the water, the dirt, and above the rice terraces—this is an easy choice.
