Two big adrenalin fixes in one Bali day. This private combo strings together Ayung River rafting and an ATV ride through rice fields and village roads, run by guides from Batour Net Bali. I love the personal feel: you get safety briefings, a tailored route, and time for photos after rafting. I also love the variety, so you’re not stuck in one type of scenery. The only catch is it’s an 8-hour, wet-and-dusty day, so come ready to slow down and change after the river.

Hotel pickup and drop-off keeps it easy, and lunch buffet sits between rafting and ATV, which matters when you don’t want to hunt for food between adrenaline hits. Your ticket comes as a mobile voucher, and the tour is only for your group, even if you’re traveling with two people or a family.

Key Highlights That Matter

• A true two-activity day: Ayung River rafting in Ubud, then an ATV ride around rural trails
• Private, tailored guiding: you get a route and pace adjusted to your group
• Full rafting and ATV safety gear included: you start with briefings and the right equipment
• Lunch buffet in the middle: energy back in your tank before the ATV section
• Hotel pickup and drop-off: less time negotiating rides and more time in motion
• Mobile ticket plus confirmation: booked with clear start details right when you reserve

Why This Ubud ATV + Rafting Combo Makes Sense

If you like Bali when it’s active, this is a smart way to use one day. You get the water part (Ayung River rafting) and the land part (ATV riding) without splitting your time across separate tours and separate days.

I also like the order: rafting first, lunch second, ATV last. After the river, you’re already wet and in “adventure mode,” then the ATV turns the day into a full run of trails through the countryside.

One more practical win: this is designed as a private outing. That usually means you spend less time waiting and more time moving at the rhythm your guide sets for your group.

Morning Pickup and the Water Rafting Start in Ubud

The day typically begins when your group is collected from your hotel. That matters in Ubud, where traffic can be a mood-killer. With pickup built in, you’re not left to figure out transport while everyone is already hungry for the first thrill.

At the rafting start in Ubud, you’ll receive a safety briefing and get equipped with the required gear. This is where good tours separate themselves from chaos: the briefing sets expectations so you spend less time panicking and more time enjoying the river.

Once you’re geared up, you head into the Ayung River section with lush greenery all around. The goal here is simple: enjoy the rapids, feel the speed, and take in the natural scenery you can’t really see from the road.

Ayung River Rapids: The Fun Part (and What to Watch)

This rafting experience is built around navigating the rapids of the Ayung River in the Ubud area. Expect a mix of action and scenery—rapids that give you that adrenaline hit, plus stretches where you can catch your breath and look around.

After you finish rafting, you’ll get time to change and freshen up. That little break is worth something. It’s also your cue to take photos while the experience is still fresh—your schedule includes time to capture memories right after the rafting ends.

Possible consideration: rafting is physical and can be wet in a hurry. Even if you’re comfortable with water, come with the mindset that you’ll need time to reset afterward.

Lunch Between Rafting and ATV: Fuel Without the Fuss

After rafting, you’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant with a lunch buffet. This placement is practical. If you eat too late or too early, you either lose energy for the next activity or feel stuffed during the ATV portion.

The menu is traditional Balinese cuisine, which gives you a taste of local food rather than a random stop that happens to be close. And because lunch is included, you don’t have to budget extra time—or extra money—for the in-between gap.

A small tip: if you’re the type who likes photos, you’ll have them earlier and later in the day. Eat, hydrate (mineral water is included), then switch gears for the ATV.

ATV Ride in Ubud: Rice Fields, Villages, and Off-Road Trails

Then the ATV section starts. Like the rafting start, you begin with a safety briefing and instructions for operating the ATV. This is a big deal if it’s your first time, because it turns the ride from a scary unknown into something you can actually control.

Once you’re on the trails, the route takes you through off-road paths and rural scenery: rice fields and local villages show up along the way. This isn’t just “ride in a loop.” The point is to move through the real working geography around Ubud.

Based on what people highlighted, the ATV experience can include fun extra moments like routes past waterfalls. You might catch these if your guide chooses the same scenic timing, but either way, the route is designed around countryside views rather than plain asphalt.

The Guide Factor: Erli and the Value of Calm Coaching

One name shows up clearly in the praise: Erli. People describe him as brilliant for pickup and for driving between each part of the day, and they also call out his helpful, friendly approach.

Why that matters: in a combo tour like this, the guide isn’t just there for directions. They help keep the day flowing, manage timing, and make sure you feel safe when you’re switching between water and machine.

Even if you’re confident, you’ll appreciate a guide who keeps things organized. And if you’re nervous—especially on a first ATV—having clear instructions from a professional makes a huge difference.

Price and Value: What $31.57 Actually Buys

At $31.57 per person, the big question is whether this is “cheap thrills” or real value. For this one, the math looks good because the price includes the core costs that often add up fast on Bali activity days.

Here’s what’s included in the package:

• Safety equipment for both rafting and ATV
• Hotel pickup and drop-off
• Mineral water
• Tickets
• Lunch buffet

So you’re not paying separately for transport, meals, and the gear basics. You’re paying for a full day of two major experiences with planning built in. That’s a strong deal if you know you want both rafting and ATV in one shot.

Another small value detail: this is often booked about 24 days in advance on average. That suggests people lock it in early, likely because combo days are limited by guide schedules and pickup routes.

Who This Combo Fits Best (and Who Might Think Twice)

This tour fits best if you want an active Bali day. It’s ideal for people who like:

• action and scenery in the same outing
• countryside views on an ATV
• a structured rafting experience with safety guidance

It’s also a good option for first-timers when you’re okay with coaching. The ATV start includes a safety briefing and operating instructions, and first-time riders have said they felt nervous but guided professionally.

Who might think twice? If you hate getting wet and don’t want the physical effort of rafting, you may find the day tiring. Also remember it runs about 8 hours, so it’s not for people who want a slow, low-activity schedule.

Practical Tips for Your Wet-and-Wild Day

Based on how the day runs, you’ll want to plan like this is an active water + off-road combo:

• Wear clothes you can get wet during rafting. You’ll change after, but you still want to be comfortable at the start.
• Bring something for your freshening-up time afterward, since the tour includes time to change and reset.
• Don’t overpack. You’ll be moving between river and ATV, and you’ll want your day to stay friction-free.

Because lunch is included and mineral water is provided, you can travel light without worrying about every little purchase. Still, keep your personal expenses budgeted since those aren’t included.

Where It Starts and Ends (So You Don’t Lose Time)

The tour starts at Gorilla ATV Adventure, on Jl. Raya Payangan No.199, Puhu, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80572, Indonesia. It ends back at the meeting point.

If you’re staying in Ubud, that works in your favor. You get pickup, you get back to where you started, and you don’t have to coordinate a separate return after you’re already tired from two activities.

Should You Book This ATV + Rafting Adventure?

I’d book it if you want one day that mixes water thrills with rural ATV riding. The value is strong because it bundles pickup, safety gear, rafting tickets, ATV tickets, mineral water, and a lunch buffet into one price.

I’d skip it—or at least think hard—if you’re not into wet activities or you hate long days. Eight hours moves fast when you’re doing rapids and off-road riding.

If you do book, aim to come ready for a real adventure day: dress for water, listen closely during the safety briefings, and let the guide set the pace. And if Erli is your driver/guide, take that as a good sign—the service around him is praised for making the whole day feel smooth.
