CRETYA UBUD Infinity Pool+ ATV RIDE with Gorilla Cave +lunch.
Book on Viator →Operated by Sai Bali Tours · Bookable on Viator
Mud meets rice-terrace pool views. I like that this day mixes serious off-road ATV time on a 350cc ride with the calmer, photo-famous break at Cretya Ubud’s infinity pool. You’re not just doing a quick loop either; the ride is built around jungle trails, rice fields, rivers, tunnels, villages, and muddy track sections that actually feel like Bali countryside instead of a theme park.
I also like the way the pace finishes with relaxing perks: a complimentary drink at Cretya, plus coffee moments at both a farming stop and a Balinese coffee tasting. One key consideration: swimming at Cretya is restricted by age (under 19 can’t swim), and the notes say under 18 isn’t allowed to enter Cretya Ubud, even though you might still be able to explore around Alas Harum Bali.

What You’re Really Getting in Ubud: Mud, Water, and a Pool With Views
This is one of those rare Bali combo days that balances adrenaline and downtime without feeling rushed. You start with the ATV section, designed to feel like you’re riding through real Ubud terrain: wet jungle paths, rice edges, river-crossings, tunnel segments, and the kind of muddy ground that makes your legs feel like they’ve earned their snack later.
Then you pivot to Cretya Ubud, where the vibe changes from dirt and goggles to the infinity pool look people travel for. The pool area is built around views of rice terraces, so even if you’re not a swimsuit person, you’ll still enjoy the scenery from the deck.
Because it’s a 7 to 8 hour experience with a 1.5 to 2 hour ATV riding window, you should expect a full day rhythm. It’s long enough to feel like a real activity, not long enough to drag into an all-day slog if you pace yourself during breaks.

The ATV Ride: 350cc Power on the Best-Track Style Route

The ATV portion is the centerpiece. You’ll ride a powerful 350cc ATV, and the track is described as the best-of-the-best in Ubud. That matters, because a good track changes everything: better surfaces, more varied terrain, and less time spent staring at a leader van like you’re waiting for permission to have fun.
Here’s what you can expect the route to throw at you:
- Jungle trails where the air feels cooler and the path turns unpredictable
- Rice field edges and river sections that add to the scenery and the splashes
- Tunnels, villages, and muddy stretches that make the ride feel like a real adventure
- Mud that will likely get on you, even if you’re careful
The operator includes professional guide & safety equipment, which is a big deal on a ride like this. In past experiences, guides such as Yan, Komang Budiana, Ketut, and Yan Mudita have been highlighted for keeping things smooth and offering service and Bali tips during the day. You shouldn’t rely on a specific name, but you can rely on the general promise: the guide role matters here, not just because they lead, but because they help you enjoy it safely.
One thing to keep in mind: the ride is described as thrilling yet comfortable. Still, if you’re sensitive to bumps or getting splashed, you’ll want to wear gear that can handle water and dirt. Your day will look like a wipe-clean adventure, not a pristine Instagram stroll.
Cretya Ubud Infinity Pool Time: The Reset Moment You Actually Need

After the ride, the best part is how quickly your body gets to cool down and your brain gets to switch gears. Cretya Ubud’s infinity pool is where the day’s energy drops. The view is the star: rice-terrace scenery that makes the whole setting feel calmer, even if you’re still carrying a little mud in your clothes.
You also get practical comforts:
- A complimentary drink with the pool time
- Shower and changing facilities so you’re not stuck in wet, muddy clothes longer than necessary
- A Balinese coffee tasting as part of the experience (so the day ends with something warm and local, not just exhaustion)
There are age rules that matter here. The notes say:
- Under 19 can’t swim in the infinity pool
- Under 18 isn’t allowed to enter Cretya Ubud (with a note that you might still be able to explore around Alas Harum Bali)
So if you’re traveling with teens, check carefully before you plan swims and pool photos. If your group includes kids near those age cutoffs, you’ll want to decide early whether this stop is still worth it for the overall group mood.
The Coffee Stops: Herbal Tea, Farming Lessons, and Balinese Tasting

This is one of the smarter parts of the day because it breaks up the adrenaline with something lightweight and cultural, without turning it into a long lecture.
You’ll stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism for a short visit (about 30 minutes), and you can try free samples of local coffee and herbal tea. That’s not a full tour of an entire plantation, but it’s enough to get a feel for how coffee and herbal blends are presented in the area.
Later, Cretya includes a free Balinese coffee tasting, which gives you a second chance to sample and compare. If you’re the type who likes small food and drink moments you can remember later, this pair of tastings makes the day feel more “Ubud” than just “theme park ATV.”
Even if coffee isn’t your thing, these stops are still worth it for the pacing. They give you a breather after the ATV section and help the day land with something warm and easy before you get back to your hotel.
Pertiwi Adventure: The Challenging Track Part (And What It Feels Like)

The ride segment tied to Pertiwi Adventure is described as very challenging, and the setting sounds like it’s built for variety: rain forest, tunnel sections, a waterfall, muddy track, local families, and rice fields. That set of elements is exactly why people like Ubud ATV days: you’re not circling the same patch of land.
What you should plan for emotionally is the ride’s mix of novelty and effort. Tunnels and muddy sections slow things down in a good way because you’re paying attention. The waterfall and rain-forest areas also mean you’re more likely to get splashed and damp.
This is where your earlier choice of clothing matters most:
- Wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy
- Bring a plan for dry clothes after (the tour includes shower/changing facilities, which helps a lot)
- Expect water, even if it’s not raining, because the track sounds designed for that kind of terrain
If you’re coming from a beach day and your body isn’t used to getting tossed around, go slow on your first few minutes. Once you find the ATV rhythm, the ride tends to feel smoother.

Lunch, Drink, and the Stuff That Makes a Full Day Work

This tour avoids one common Bali annoyance: being out all day with no real meal plan. Lunch is included, and bottled water is part of the package. That keeps you from spending your energy hunting down snacks in the middle of the day.
You also get one complimentary drink at Cretya. If you’re trying to keep the day simple and budget-friendly, that’s one less add-on to manage.
The included shower and changing facilities are a quiet win. After muddy ATV time, the ability to freshen up makes it easier to enjoy the pool and coffee stops without feeling gross or sticky. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the kind of detail that makes the whole experience smoother.
Price and Value: Why $95 Often Works Out Here

At $95 per person, you’re paying for more than just an ATV ticket. The value is the bundle:
- ATV ride with safety equipment and guide support
- Entry to pool time at Cretya as part of the experience
- Lunch, bottled water, and a complimentary drink
- Coffee experiences (herbal tea and coffee sampling, plus Balinese coffee tasting)
- Pickup and drop-off from your hotel
- Shower/changing facilities
What pushes it toward “good value” is that many ATV days in Bali start adding costs fast once you want food, a pool stop, or comfortable finishing touches. Here, those key pieces are included.
Two cost notes to watch:
- Minimum booking is 2 people. Solo participants may face an extra charge of IDR 350,000.
- The tour includes the pool access and the coffee moments, but it doesn’t cover extra Cretya activities like swings, zip lines, or sky bikes.
If you want an experience that feels like a full day without nickel-and-diming every step, this package approach makes sense.
Logistics That Matter: Pickup, Timing, and What to Bring

Start time is 8:00 am, and the full duration is roughly 7 to 8 hours. The ATV portion is typically 1.5 to 2 hours, with the rest of the time used for transitions, pool relaxation, coffee stops, and the meal.
You’ll get:
- Free hotel pickup & drop-off (air-conditioned vehicle is included)
- A mobile ticket
- A private format where only your group participates
That private setup is practical in Bali. You’re less likely to feel rushed or squeezed between strangers, and your guide can focus on your pace.
Bring or plan for:
- Something to keep your feet protected because mud is part of the terrain
- Dry clothes for after the ride, even if you’ll use changing facilities
- Swimwear only if your group meets the pool swimming age rule (under 19 can’t swim)
Weather is also part of the equation. The experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
Who Should Book This ATV + Pool Day (and Who Should Skip It)
This is a great pick if you want:
- A real off-road ATV ride through Ubud countryside
- A meaningful cooling-off period at a memorable infinity pool
- Coffee and food breaks that don’t take over the day
It’s also a strong option for couples or small groups who like structured experiences but still want freedom to enjoy the scenery.
You should be more cautious if:
- Your group includes anyone near the age cutoffs for the pool (under 19 can’t swim, under 18 can’t enter Cretya Ubud)
- You’re not comfortable with getting wet or muddy during the ATV segment
- You want to add extra Cretya activities like swings or zip lines, since those costs aren’t included
If you’re the kind of traveler who likes active mornings and calm afternoons, this hits the sweet spot.
Should You Book Cretya Ubud Infinity Pool + ATV Ride?
Yes, I’d book it if you want one day that covers the Ubud trio: adrenaline, a rice-terrace pool break, and coffee moments—all wrapped into a schedule that doesn’t leave you scrambling for meals. The included lunch, shower access, and hotel pickup are the small details that make it feel worth the time.
I’d think twice if your main goal is a clean, dry, low-effort outing or if your group includes under-19 swimmers or under-18 visitors who plan to use the Cretya pool area. In those cases, double-check the age rules and decide whether the pool stop is still valuable for everyone.
