REVIEW · ATV & QUAD BIKE TOURS
Quad Bike Bali With Tunnel, Waterfall and Rafting Adventure
Book on Viator →Operated by Rafting Ayung · Bookable on Viator
Mud, tunnels, and river thrills in one day. This Ubud combo pairs quad biking through countryside trails with a waterfall stop, then finishes with white-water rafting on the Ayung River. It is built for real action, not just pretty scenery.
I especially like the hands-on nature of the ATV portion. You get to ride off-road tracks, hit muddy sections, and pass through a tunnel experience that feels properly different from typical Bali rides. I also like that the day stays organized: you’re guided, geared up, and moved between activities without stress.
One thing to consider: extras like photos and video cost extra, and the tour depends on decent conditions. If weather turns, you may be offered a different date or a refund, so plan with some flexibility.

Quad and Raft Combo in Ubud: Tunnels, Waterfalls, Then Ayung Rapids

If you want an active Bali day, this one makes a strong case. You’ll start with quad biking in Ubud’s countryside—mud, streams, and that jungle-feeling trail vibe—and you’ll cool off at a waterfall along the way. Then you shift gears to rafting, using the natural energy of the Ayung River for the main adrenaline hit.
The vibe is simple: ride first, splash later, then hit the rapids. The structure matters because it prevents that common problem on combo tours—where one activity feels rushed while the other drags. Here, both parts are treated like equal highlights, with guides and safety gear handled for you.
5 Key Details That Make This Adventure Worth Your Time

- Tunnel-and-waterfall quad route: You’re not just cruising; you’re doing a real off-road path with a tunnel moment and a waterfall splash stop.
- Ayung River rafting thrills: The second half keeps your energy up with white-water rapids and scenic river views.
- Included safety and gear: You get safety equipment plus boots for the quad portion, plus guides for both activities.
- Comfort after the mess: Locker, towel, changing room, and shower facilities help when you’re wet from both activities.
- Guide names you can remember: During rafting, Pak Manik and Bang Yan are specifically mentioned for running the trip.

Quad Biking Through Ubud Countryside: Mud, Streams, and One Big Tunnel Moment

The quad-bike portion is the headline for a reason. This is not a sit-and-stare tour. You’re actually driving quad bikes along off-road tracks, with the route designed around Bali’s countryside scenery—rice terraces, traditional village areas, and that green, rural feel you don’t get from the main tourist streets.
The tunnel part is one of those experiences that changes the whole day. A normal trail ride is fun, but a tunnel adds a sensory twist—lower light, more concentration, and a moment that feels memorable because it breaks up the usual pattern. It’s also the kind of stop that makes photos more interesting, even before you think about the optional paid photo/video add-on.
Waterfall time is another smart design choice. You go from dry-ish mud and dust into a cooling splash zone. If it has rained, you may get extra mud and grit on the bikes, which can sound unpleasant until you realize it often makes the ride more playful and chaotic—in a good way. Just keep in mind that wet conditions can make roads slippier, so listen closely to your guide and take the corners with patience.
What to do with your expectations
Think of this quad section as active work with a fun payoff. Even if you’re not a confident driver, the presence of a guide and the included safety gear are there to keep things moving. The key is mindset: you’re here to ride, get a bit messy, and enjoy the ride itself more than you enjoy watching it from the sidelines.
Waterfall Cool-Off: Why the Splash Stop Works So Well
This stop isn’t random. It is timed as a reset for your body and your energy. After moving through countryside trails, the waterfall gives you a moment to cool off, shake out your legs, and take a breath before the day gets even more intense with rafting.
It also helps that the waterfall experience is part of the quad route rather than a separate detour. That keeps the day feeling like a single story: action, scenery, splash, then rafting. When tours split you into too many “transfer times,” you end up tired and less present. Here, the flow stays tight enough that you can enjoy the moment instead of just rushing to the next vehicle.
Ayung River Rafting: The Calm-Then-Wham Rhythm on a White-Water Trip
After the quad bikes, you shift to the Ayung River, where the day’s second big adrenaline hit happens. Rafting here is white-water, so you’ll feel the river’s push right away. You’re not just floating. You’ll be maneuvering with the guidance of your raft team, and you’ll also be spending your time looking at the river scenery—green banks, gorge-like stretches, and natural bends that make the ride feel alive.
The rafting part also gives you a social benefit. Quad biking is exciting but can be mentally focused. Rafting, especially with a good operator, tends to produce more shared laughs. In the included experience style, staff involvement seems strong—people remember their crew names, which is a good sign that you’ll get real attention rather than a quick “good luck” handoff.
Specific names come up around the rafting side: Pak Manik and Bang Yan are mentioned for operating the rafting. That matters because it suggests your safety and pacing are handled by people who actually run the boats, not only coordinate from a distance.

A practical note on intensity
You should expect it to feel physical. Even if you’re not doing anything technical, you’ll be bracing, paddling at times, and getting wet. That’s why the tour notes a moderate physical fitness level. If you’re generally comfortable with active outdoor days, this fits. If you prefer easy sightseeing only, you might find the combination too intense.
What’s Included: The Value Is in the Details
This tour includes a lot that many add-on-heavy packages forget.
You get:
- Air-conditioned vehicle plus parking fees and fuel surcharge
- Quad and rafting safety equipment, plus quad and rafting guides
- Insurance
- Hotel pickup and drop-off if you book with pickup
- Locker, towel, changing room, and shower facilities
- A welcome drink and lunch
- A driver for pickup (with pickup booking) and guides for the activities
- Boots for the quad bike adventure
That bundle is where the price starts to make sense. If you’ve ever done an “adventure” day in Bali where you later realize you still have to rent gear, find a locker, and pay for basic comforts, you’ll appreciate how much is handled up front here.
The included lunch and welcome drink also help with timing. You’re doing at least two big physical activities in one day, so being properly fed makes you less likely to fade early.
The paid extras that you should know about
Photo and video cost extra (listed as IDR 750,000). If you love action photos, it can be worth it. If you’re trying to keep costs down, you can still get plenty of images on your own—especially since you’ll be in a waterfall area and on a wet, dynamic rafting run.
Pickup, Mobile Tickets, and a 5–8 Hour Schedule
The overall duration is about 5 to 8 hours, which is a workable range in Ubud. It’s long enough to do both activities without feeling like you’re on a time trial, but not so long that you burn your entire day.
Pickup is offered, and the experience includes clear instructions about where to meet if you’re using the pickup option. You’ll get the address, plus a map and visual guides if needed. That helps a lot in Ubud where addresses can sometimes be more confusing than you expect.
You’ll also have a mobile ticket, which makes check-in simpler once you’re on the ground.
What to expect on the day
You’ll be using an air-conditioned vehicle between pickup, activities, and the final drop-off (when pickup is booked). Since you’re wet from quad riding and rafting, the locker and shower facilities are not a small detail. They can mean the difference between feeling comfortable after the tour and feeling sticky and cold for the rest of the day.
Weather, Rain, and Why Conditions Matter Here

This experience requires good weather. If conditions are poor and the tour is canceled due to weather, you’ll be offered another date or a full refund. There’s also a minimum number of travelers requirement, so in some cases the operator may adjust dates or options if demand is too low.
Now, the fun part: rain can actually make the quad biking more exciting. One rainy-day review describes more mud and says the waterfall section still looked stunning. Translation: if you don’t mind getting dirty and you’re okay with slippery surfaces, wet weather can turn the ride from good to extra fun.
Just keep a realistic expectation. Rafting is weather-dependent for safety, so don’t assume rain always means the same schedule. If you book close to a rainy stretch, keep your plans flexible.
Price in Perspective: Why $24.46 Can Be a Great Deal
At around $24.46 per person, this combo looks like strong value on paper, especially because it includes:
- Safety equipment for both activities
- Guides
- Insurance
- Lunch, welcome drink, and comfort items like lockers and showers
The key is to compare what you’d pay elsewhere to replicate it. If you had to book quad guiding, rafting, transfers, basic gear, and lunch separately, the total would likely climb quickly.
The one clear cost you might add is the optional photo/video package. If you skip it, you can keep the day close to the advertised price.
Who This Quad-and-Rafting Day Fits Best
This is a great match if you want action, not just sightseeing. It works well for:
- Couples and groups who want shared thrills
- People who like both driving fun and river adventure
- Travelers who don’t mind getting wet and a bit muddy
It’s also guided. Guides handle safety equipment and are there during the activities, which makes it more approachable for beginners than solo adventure would be.
The tour asks for moderate physical fitness. That means you should be comfortable with an active day outdoors: riding, bracing on the raft, and handling wet conditions. If you have major mobility issues or health constraints, you’ll want to think carefully before committing.
Small Tips That Improve Your Day
You don’t get a detailed packing list here, so plan like you’ll get messy and wet. Wear clothes you’re fine with getting damp. Use the towel and shower facilities after, and change quickly so you don’t sit around cold or uncomfortable.
Also, take the guide instructions seriously during the tunnel and the waterfall area. In off-road riding, control is everything. If you go too fast too early, you’ll spend the rest of the ride worrying instead of enjoying.
Finally, if you’re the type who likes a memento, decide on photo/video early in the process. You don’t want to scramble at the end when you’re already tired and wet.
Should You Book This Quad Bike Bali With Tunnel, Waterfall and Rafting?
Yes, if you want a high-energy Ubud day that mixes two different types of fun: quad biking and Ayung River rafting. The included safety gear, guides, lunch, and shower facilities are what make the price feel fair. The tunnel and waterfall elements add variety so the day doesn’t feel like one long blur of dust.
Skip it—or at least think twice—if you want a relaxed day with minimal physical effort. You’re doing two active activities. And if you’re extremely photo-driven, remember that the paid photo/video option is not included.
If your schedule allows flexibility and you’re ready to get wet, muddy, and smiling, this combo is a solid choice.
