Bali isn’t just about the beaches and temples — there’s a ton of fun to be had including ATV Quad Bike Adventure Tours. Get down and dirty on a quad bike tour through rice fields, waterways, mud pools and tunnels. Nothing is as exciting as going on a white water rafting tour in Ubud while you’re on holiday in Bali.
Tickets for ATV and White Water Rafting tours in Bali are often sold at big markups through online travel agencies (OTA) that specialise in aggregating package tours and onselling them. I deal directly with the best operator considering the quality of quad bikes, rafts, safety records and my customer’s feedback.
What’s included in the ATV Bali Adventure Tour?
Other packages often include “complimentary” pick-up and drop-off, but the problem is that you will be driving around many different hotels picking up other customers and taking much longer to get there than with a private car and driver, not to mention the comfort level.
I send a personally vetted, English-speaking private driver in a comfortable air-conditioned 6-seater SUV to pick you up from your hotel or villa, so you don’t have to share with anyone else.
Your driver will take you to the ATV Adventure park and personally hand you over to the ATV operators. The cost of the tickets for the Quad Bikes is included in the price, along with the car and driver ad all applicable fuel and taxes.
The other reason for booking my private car and driver is because we can make your day unique, going for lunch in Ubud and then going to Real Bali Swing or Tegalalang Rice Terraces afterwards.
The best tour is in the morning before it gets too hot. Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes – there are showers and changing facilities at the ATV Adventure park.
- Private car and driver for the day (10 hours)
- Professional ATV Ride Instructor
- 2-hour guided ATV ride
- Well-maintained 250cc semi-automatic quad bikes
- Towels, changing rooms and shower facilities
- Safety boots
- Lunch
- Insurance coverage and taxes
Can I ride solo or tandem?
You have the choice of riding your own quad bike, or if 2 of you would like to share a bike, choose the tandem option below. When you book as a group you can also choose to have a combination of solo or tandem bikes.
White Water Rafting Ubud Tour
I like white water rafting in the Ayung River just north of Ubud. There are a number of operations lining the river but we have our favourites. After going on several trips myself and evaluating the balance between value, service, safety, thrills and amenities we partnered with Graha Rafting Adventure, so we get tickets at a significant discount which we pass on to you.
The price also includes lunch, a towel, shower facilities, insurance and safety gear. The rafting tour is 11km long and takes between 2- 2.5 hours.
They also have packages that include complimentary pick-up and drop-off, but the problem is that you will be driving around many different hotels picking up customers from many different locations, taking much longer to get there than with a private car and driver, not to mention the comfort level.
Pro tip: While the rafting company provides a buffet lunch at the end of the rafting tour, it’s a budget meal put on to lure the cheaper end of the market. I would much rather wait and have lunch in Ubud.
There are several places I can recommend. Naughty Nuri’s Warung on the way from the river into Ubud serves the most amazing BBQ ribs. While there are several outlets the original warung is the best. Another great option is Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka 3 for some Balinese roasted pork.
Wandering down Jalan Gootama from the main street of Ubud to the other end will often allow you to discover by yourself new and interesting cafes to eat. Down the

Hi Michael,
Are there age / weight / height restrictions for the ATV and whitewater rafting tours? My son will be 7, so I just want to make sure it is safe for him / not too difficult and that he is not restricted by age/height. He would share an ATV with my husband but I was more concerned with the whitewater rafting. What effort level is required for the rafting? Is it good for beginners?
When I make the online booking, what time should I select pick up from our hotel if we want an early start to avoid the heat?
Thanks so much.
Hi Hayley,
In terms of age, your son will be safe in the back of a tandem ATV bike. 7 is usually the minimum age.
Regarding the white water rafting, it’s quite beginner-friendly as most of my guests who book the rafting are first-timers. Min. age is 5 years old.
The difficulty of the rapids depending entirely on rain and river levels – but all the same fun!
When booking, I suggest setting your pick-up for around 8:00am to get to the ATVs or White Water Rafting early.
Safe travels,
Michael
Hi Michael,
I have 12 guys coming to bali for a 40th long weekend celebration mid-August.
We are looking to spend one day doing some adventure activities, is the waterfall / canyoning or white water rafting a better activity to tie in some mountain biking or ATV’ing? Looking to minimise time in the car.
Also like the suggestion of the white water rafting of getting a good meal in ubud after, or should we go to one of the ‘day’ clubs in ubud before heading back to Seminyak?
JD
Hi JD,
I reckon the ATV Quad Bikes and White Water Rafting can be a great time for a day out with the guys.
After white water rafting, your driver can take you to a day club in Ubud to grab a meal and enjoy some sun.
Safe travels,
Michael
Dear Michael, we are two guys and would like to do an ATV/Rafting tour tomorrow (21.5.). Is the Rafting flexible considering the time it starts? Also, at the end, our drop off would be around Medewi (while pick up is Ubud). Is that possible too? Best, Ingo
Hi Ingo,
Yes the rafting is flexible depending on your time of arrival.
The drop-off to Medewi is possible with an additional charge as it is headed towards the far west of Bali.
Safe travels,
Michael
Hi Michael
Is this booking for both the white water rafting and the ATV quads for the same day?
Can the rice terraces also be done in the same day?
Thanks
Louise
Hi Louise,
This booking includes both White Water Rafting and the ATV Quad Bike tour on the same day.
The ATV Quad Biking riding is 2 hours. and the White Water Rafting is approximately 2.5 hours.
You’ll have your driver for 10 hours.
So I’d say you could have enough time to visit the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, depending on where you’ll be starting and ending your tour.
Safe travels,
Michael
Hi Michael
I wanted to cover multiple points in Ubud with different activities, including ATV Quad biking, visiting the rice terraces, monkey forest and bali swing. What is the best way to go about booking this from your website? Do I just book a full day private car tour, but how will that incorporate the cost of ATV Quad biking?
And if I book the ATV activity on itself, does it give me the autonomy to visit other spots as well (rice terrace, swing etc)
Thanks for your help
Hi Saad,
If you’d like to do the ATV Quad Biking but don’t want to include the White Water Rafting in your tour, I would suggest booking the ATV Bali Quad Bike Adventure Tour.
With this, you’ll have the Quad Bike tickets included, as well as a private car & driver for 10 hours so you can visit the rice terraces, monkey forest, and Bali swing in Ubud. I do recommend starting with the ATV Quad Bike first.
Safe travels,
Michael
