"We did the ATV and Ayung river rafting combo. The quad bikes were an absolute blast, especially tearing through the mud and the dark Gorilla cave. The guides were hilarious and kept everyone safe. Lunch was basic but hit the spot after a long morning."

"Booked a tandem ride with my 10-year-old son and he hasn't stopped talking about it. He loved splashing through the river crossings! The showers and lockers at the end were a lifesaver because we were covered in dirt from head to toe."

"Great track through the rice paddies and jungle. The bikes were in good condition. The only downside was the traffic getting back to Seminyak took almost two hours. Definitely bring a change of clothes and your own sunscreen."

"Did the private tour combining the ATV ride with the Monkey Forest. It was a long 10-hour day but totally worth it to see everything. Our driver was fantastic and even helped us avoid the monkeys snatching our sunglasses at the sanctuary."

"The trail was pretty challenging with some steep muddy inclines, but the instructors were always right there to help if anyone got stuck in the mud. Highly recommend booking the morning slot to beat the intense midday heat."

What to Expect on Your Ubud ATV Tour

Ubud is world-renowned as Bali's cultural heart, but its steep ravines and dense rainforests also make it the perfect playground for off-road adventures. An ATV quad bike tour takes you far away from the busy central streets and into the rural outskirts. You can expect a high-energy ride through diverse terrain, guided by local professionals who know the trails inside out. Whether you are splashing through river crossings or navigating natural tunnels, it is a hands-on way to experience Bali's wilder side.

🌴

Dense Jungle Tracks

Navigate through Bali's lush tropical rainforests. The narrow dirt trails offer a thrilling ride under the canopy of hanging banyan trees.

🌾

Active Rice Paddies

Ride alongside traditional subak irrigation systems and terraced rice fields, getting a direct look at rural Balinese agriculture.

💦

Mud & River Crossings

Expect to get completely covered in mud. The courses feature deep muddy tracks and shallow river crossings that test your steering.

🕳️

Caves and Tunnels

Many routes pass through unique natural or carved tunnels, including the popular Gorilla Cave and Dragon Cave features.

🌊

Hidden Waterfalls

Take a break from the engine noise to cool off. Several tracks route directly past or through local jungle waterfalls.

🛖

Local Villages

Drive through the outskirts of traditional communities like Breselam village, seeing a quieter side of the Gianyar Regency.

Things to Know Before Booking

Booking an ATV tour in Ubud is straightforward, but there are a few logistical details to sort out first. From choosing the right bike setup to understanding health restrictions, here is what you need to know before you secure your spot.

Solo vs. Tandem Rides

You can choose to ride your own bike (solo) or share one (tandem). Tandem rides are perfect for parents with children aged 6 to 13, but must be booked in even multiples (2, 4, 6 travelers).

Age and Weight Limits

Solo riders typically need to be at least 13 to 16 years old depending on the operator. There is also a strict maximum weight limit for the bikes, usually capped between 120 kg and 150 kg per ATV.

Health Restrictions

ATV riding is a bumpy, physically demanding activity. It is not recommended for pregnant travelers, or anyone with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.

Tour Inclusions

Most packages are highly inclusive. They generally cover the ATV rental, safety gear (helmets and boots), a local lunch, insurance coverage, and access to showers and lockers at the base camp.

Combo Packages

Make a full day of it by booking a combo tour. You can easily pair your morning ATV ride with white water rafting on the Ayung River, or an afternoon visiting the Sacred Monkey Forest and Tegalalang Rice Terraces.

Hotel Transfers

Many tours include complimentary pickup and drop-off from major areas like Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, and Nusa Dua. Be aware that the time slot you book is the activity start time; your actual hotel pickup will be 1 to 2 hours earlier.

Cancellation Policies

Plans change, especially during the rainy season. Almost all ATV operators offer a full refund if you cancel your booking at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

What to Bring

You will get dirty, so bring a full change of clothes. Sunscreen is essential, and you should carry a small amount of cash (IDR) for tips, extra drinks, or photos taken by the guides.

Plan Your Visit to Ubud

ATV tours generally run at specific time slots throughout the day, usually starting as early as 08:00 and wrapping up by late afternoon. If your tour includes other Ubud attractions, note that the Sacred Monkey Forest is open daily from 09:00 to 18:00.

Important Timing Note: The time slot you select during booking is the actual activity start time. If you opted for a package with hotel transfers, your driver will pick you up 1 to 2 hours earlier depending on traffic and your location in Bali.

Most ATV tour packages include complimentary private transfers from major tourist hubs including Ubud, Seminyak, Canggu, Kuta, and Nusa Dua. If you need to arrange your own transport, you have a few options:

  • Private Driver: Hiring a driver from Seminyak or Canggu costs around 400,000 to 600,000 IDR. Travel time is usually 1.5 to 2 hours, heavily dependent on traffic through Denpasar.
  • Ride-Hailing: Grab and Gojek apps are widely used for transparently priced rides, though central Ubud traffic often gridlocks between 16:00 and 19:00.
  • Airport Transfer: A direct ride from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) to Ubud is 37 km and typically costs 350,000 to 475,000 IDR.

The optimal time to hit the ATV trails is during Bali's dry season, which runs from April to October. You will enjoy sunny days and lower humidity, making the outdoor trekking and riding much more comfortable.

Rainy Season (November to March): December and January are the peak of the rainy season, bringing heavy tropical downpours and humidity up to 95%. While riding in the rain makes the mud tracks incredibly fun, it also increases the risk of localized flooding and landslides on the steep roads leading to the base camps.

ATV tours require a moderate level of physical fitness and are not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or those who are pregnant.

Weight Limits: Operators strictly enforce a maximum weight limit of 120 kg to 150 kg per bike (for both solo and tandem riders) to ensure the vehicles can safely navigate steep inclines.

General Ubud Accessibility: Outside the ATV base camps, Ubud's accessibility is generally poor due to narrow, uneven, and broken pavements. If you have mobility issues, hiring a private driver is highly recommended to minimize walking between sites.

ATV base camps in the rural outskirts of Ubud are well-equipped to handle muddy riders. Standard facilities included in most tours are:

  • Showers & Lockers: Clean changing rooms, secure lockers for your valuables, and shower facilities (towels are usually provided, but check your specific tour details).
  • Safety Gear: Professional helmets, rubber boots, and sometimes elbow and knee pads are provided for the ride.
  • Dining: Most tours include an Indonesian buffet or a set lunch at the base camp restaurant after you finish your ride. Bottled water is also provided.

When participating in an ATV tour and exploring the wider Ubud area, keep these essential rules in mind:

  • Tourist Levy: All international visitors must pay a mandatory 150,000 IDR tourist levy via the official Love Bali portal.
  • Temple Etiquette: If your combo tour includes stops at sacred sites like Tirta Empul or Pura Taman Saraswati, modest clothing is required. Shoulders and knees must be covered, and a sarong is mandatory.
  • Age Requirements: Solo riders typically need to be at least 13 to 16 years old. Children aged 6 to 13 must ride tandem with an adult.
  • Plastic Ban: Single-use plastics, including bags and straws, are banned across Bali. Bring a reusable water bottle for your trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a driver's license to ride an ATV in Ubud?

No, you do not need a driver's license. The ATV tracks are on private land and off-road trails. Professional guides provide a full safety briefing and instructions before you start.
