Read what travelers share about their experience visiting Ubud — from practical tips to personal highlights.
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.
Navigate through Bali's lush tropical rainforests. The narrow dirt trails offer a thrilling ride under the canopy of hanging banyan trees.
Ride alongside traditional subak irrigation systems and terraced rice fields, getting a direct look at rural Balinese agriculture.
Expect to get completely covered in mud. The courses feature deep muddy tracks and shallow river crossings that test your steering.
Many routes pass through unique natural or carved tunnels, including the popular Gorilla Cave and Dragon Cave features.
Take a break from the engine noise to cool off. Several tracks route directly past or through local jungle waterfalls.
Drive through the outskirts of traditional communities like Breselam village, seeing a quieter side of the Gianyar Regency.
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.
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).
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.
ATV riding is a bumpy, physically demanding activity. It is not recommended for pregnant travelers, or anyone with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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:
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:
When participating in an ATV tour and exploring the wider Ubud area, keep these essential rules in mind:
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.
Wear comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting completely ruined by mud and water. Most operators provide rubber boots, but you should bring a full change of clothes and a towel for the showers afterward.
Yes, it is very safe for beginners. The quad bikes are fully automatic and easy to handle. You will have a practice session before hitting the main trail, and guides are always nearby to help if you get stuck.
Yes, children are welcome on most tours. Kids aged 6 to 13 can ride tandem (sharing a bike) with a parent or guardian. Infants and children under 6 are generally not permitted on the bikes.
The weight limit varies slightly by operator but is usually capped at 120 kg to 150 kg maximum per bike. This applies to the total weight, whether you are riding solo or tandem.
Usually, no. ATV tours operate rain or shine, and many locals argue that the rainy season makes the mud tracks even more fun. Tours are only canceled in the event of extreme weather or dangerous flooding.
Most tour packages include complimentary pickup and drop-off from major tourist areas like Ubud, Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, and Nusa Dua. Always check the specific inclusions of your ticket when booking.
Yes, it is a good idea to bring some Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). While lunch and gear are included, you may want cash to buy extra drinks, tip your guides, or purchase professional photos taken by the staff during the ride.
No, tap water is not potable anywhere in Bali. You should only drink bottled or filtered water to avoid getting sick. Bottled water is provided during the tours.
Absolutely. It is very common to book full-day combo tours. The most popular combinations pair the ATV ride with white water rafting on the Ayung River, or a sightseeing trip to the Sacred Monkey Forest and local waterfalls.
