Two thrills in one Bali day. You’ll run white-water rafting on the Ayung River and hit a jungle-and-mud ATV quad bike track in Ubud, then refuel with a buffet lunch overlooking the greenery.

What I like most is the way the day is set up to move fast: the group is capped at just 14, so transfers and waiting don’t drag. I also appreciate the practical coaching—there’s a short ATV training before you head out, and the rafting is led with full safety gear and a professional guide, including the friendly care from Made and his team.

The only real catch is simple: this is active and wet. You should expect muddy ground on the quad track and serious river excitement, so if you want a dry, slow sightseeing day, this won’t match your vibe.

Key highlights worth planning around

• Small group (up to 14): less downtime during pickup and switching between activities
• Short ATV training first: you get set up on safe control before the ride gets wild
• Ayung River gorge rapids: a guided route with challenging, fun stretches
• Jungle views at lunch: buffet lunch comes after the water and the off-road
• All safety gear plus helmet and boots: included for both comfort and protection
• Photos extra: you can buy photos/DVD later if you want proof you were there

Why this Ubud combo works so well

I’m a fan of doing two different types of effort in one day, and this one makes sense. On land, the ATV side is about grip, balance, and momentum on changing surfaces—rice fields, jungle, river sections, and muddy stretches. Then you switch to the Ayung River, where you’re powered by the current instead of your engine, and the fun comes in rapid-to-rapid beats.

The best part is the pacing. You’re not spending hours hopping between random locations. You’re based around the Pertiwi Adventure area, and the day flows from training to tracks to rafting, then lunch. That matters because Bali days can get longer than planned when transport and waiting pile up.

Also, the setting is part of the attraction: the rafting area is described as a gorge route with waterfalls and beaches along the way. On the ATV side, the track is built through rural countryside scenery—emerald-green nature, panorama photo spots, and even tunnel segments. If you want your holiday photos to look like Bali beyond the beach, this tour leans hard into that.

Price and value: what $55 really buys you

At $55 per person for an all-in activity day, the value comes from what’s included—not just that it’s one ticket.

You get:

• Hotel pickup and drop-off
• ATV and rafting guidance
• All safety equipment
• Helmet and boots
• Insurance
• Mineral water
• Entry/Admission to Pertiwi Adventure
• Lunch

That’s the big deal. ATV tours can easily become more expensive once you add gear, guides, transport, and basic insurance. Rafting is similar. Here, lunch and transport are folded in, which keeps the day from turning into a list of surprise add-ons.

The only clearly mentioned extra is photos/DVD, which you can purchase. If you’re the type who likes to buy official shots for rafting action and ATV moments, budget a little extra. If you’re happy with your own phone photos, you can skip it.

Timing and group size: an 8-hour day that’s built for action

The duration is about 8 hours, which is long enough to feel like an actual adventure but not so long that you lose the whole day. The tour also keeps the group limited to 14 travelers, and that isn’t just a marketing line.

Smaller groups typically mean:

• faster transitions during pickup and activity changes
• less waiting for equipment or briefing
• more consistent time on the ride and in the boat

You’ll feel that in how the day flows—especially if you’re trying to fit this into a packed Bali itinerary around Ubud.

There’s also a private-tour angle: it’s described as private, meaning your group participates together rather than mixing with unrelated strangers.

Getting picked up and arriving at Pertiwi Adventure

You’re picked up from your hotel and dropped back afterward. That convenience is a real time-saver in Ubud, where the drive distances can add up and traffic can shift your schedule.

Once you’re at Pertiwi Adventure, the order matters:

1) short training for the ATV

2) then the off-road ride through the track

3) then rafting on the Ayung River

4) then buffet lunch

Even without exact clock times, you can expect a day that alternates between briefing, action, and reset. The tour is built so you don’t just start riding or rafting with zero prep. You get the key instructions before you go.

The Ayung River rafting: gorge rapids, waterfalls, and pro guidance

The rafting portion is designed for people who want real river energy but not random chaos. You start from a start point, follow the gorge route, and end at a finish point, with guides leading the experience throughout.

A few details that help you picture the day:

• You’ll start with short training for safety and movement.
• The boat is a safe, high-quality rubber boat.
• The guides are described as professional and experienced with “attractive and challenge rapids.”
• The route is said to include hidden waterfalls and beaches as you move through the gorge.

That mix—training, a stable boat, and guided rapids—usually translates into a safer experience than the “wing it” style of rafting. It also means you can focus on the fun part: the turns, the sudden water, and the moments where the gorge setting makes everything feel bigger.

One more practical thing: you’ll be done with rafting before lunch. That’s important because it keeps the meal from being a sweaty, exhausted afterthought. You have a clear end point, then you reset.

The jungle ATV quad biking: rice fields to tunnel tracks

The ATV ride is the other half of what makes this tour feel like a full adventure day. It’s not just a simple loop around a property. The track is described as rural countryside fun, with variety layered in: rice fields, jungle, river, waterfall scenes, muddy sections, and hills/valleys.

Here’s the kind of ride path they describe:

• up and down hill and through valleys
• muddy, wet track fun
• river and waterfall scenery
• tunnel segment
• photo/selfie panorama points in emerald-green nature

You also get helmet and boots, and there’s a short training with an experienced guide before you start moving raw through the course. That training matters because the ATV part includes traction changes—mud and wet track can feel very different from firmer ground. Getting the rules and basics first is how you turn “scary” into “I can handle this.”

And yes, it’s meant to be a thrill. The tour description leans into the mix of technical terrain (tunnel, wet sections, hills) and scenery (rice fields and green jungle views). If you want adrenaline without losing the outdoors factor, this is a good blend.

Lunch with jungle views: the calm after the water and mud

After rafting, the day ends at the finish point, and you get a delicious Indonesian buffet lunch. The lunch is specifically tied to the setting: it comes with jungle views.

Why I think this matters for your comfort:

• You’ve been wet and active, then lunch becomes a real reset instead of “snack time.”
• Buffet style is practical when you’re hungry and your group tastes vary.
• Jungle views give you that Bali feeling when you need a breather.

Lunch is included, so you’re not hunting for food afterward or worrying whether you’ll spend half your budget on a meal that should’ve been part of the day.

Also included: mineral water.

What’s included vs. what you’ll likely pay extra

This tour keeps its inclusions clear, which is refreshing.

Included:

• Hotel pickup and drop-off
• Activities guide/instructor
• All safety equipment
• Helmet and boots
• Lunch
• Insurance
• Mineral water
• Entry/Admission – Pertiwi Adventure

Not included:

• Photos/DVD (available to purchase)

That “photos/DVD” add-on is common for rafting and ATV days because the action happens quickly. If you want a guaranteed keepsake and you don’t want to fuss with your own shots, it’s worth considering. If you travel light and rely on your own camera roll, you can skip it.

The guides make a difference: Made and the crew energy

I pay attention to guide details because they shape the whole day. In this case, the standout from the experience is the support and friendliness from the team—specifically Made and his team.

That kind of care shows up in two big ways:

• You feel comfortable during the training and safety brief, rather than rushed.
• You’re treated like a person, not just a booking number, which matters when you’re mixing activities like rafting and ATV riding in one day.

Made’s presence in the feedback is also a signal worth taking seriously. In Indonesia, a great guide can help you enjoy the ride while keeping expectations clear—what to do, when to do it, and how to stay safe while still having fun.

Who this tour suits best (and who should skip it)

This one fits best if you want an active Bali day with a mix of adrenaline and scenery.

You’ll probably love it if:

• you’re into outdoor action (not just short rides or easy sightseeing)
• you want both rafting and ATV without planning two separate tours
• you like guided adventures with safety gear included
• you’re okay with getting muddy or wet and moving through uneven terrain

You might want to rethink it if:

• you want a relaxed, fully dry day
• you’re uncomfortable with physical effort and quick transitions (training → ride → rafting → lunch)
• you prefer purely cultural stops over adventure sports

And since the tour says most travelers can participate, it sounds broadly accessible for typical travelers. But it’s still an adventure day, so bring a realistic mindset: you’re here to do.

Practical tips so you’re not surprised by the experience

I won’t pretend this is a spa day. Expect water and mud as part of the adventure. The quad track includes muddy and wet sections, and rafting is, well, rafting—plus the course includes rapids with challenge segments.

A few practical things that help:

• Wear something you don’t mind getting wet, because the activities involve water and wet track terrain.
• You’ll have helmet and boots provided, which helps. If you’re picky about footwear comfort, wear socks you can tolerate in boots.
• Have your phone and important items secured. If you rely on your phone for selfies at panorama points, plan for water-adjacent conditions.
• If you’re prone to motion discomfort, know that rafting includes rapid movement and river bumps.

Also remember this is described as a “private tour/activity. Only your group will participate.” That can make the day feel more personal and less chaotic, but it also means you’ll likely follow the group’s pace closely.

Should you book this ATV and rafting all-inclusive in Ubud?

If your Bali goal includes real adventure—white-water rafting plus ATV quad biking in the same day—this is a strong value pick. The pricing works because you’re getting transport, safety gear, insurance, and lunch, not just the activities. The capped group size of 14 helps you spend more time doing and less time waiting. And the guide team led by Made is a clear stand-out in the overall experience vibe.

Book it if you:

• want an action-packed Ubud day (about 8 hours)
• care about guided safety and included equipment
• like the idea of both gorge rafting scenery and rural off-road track variety

Skip it if:

• you want a dry, low-effort itinerary
• you dislike getting muddy or being in moving water
• you’d rather spread activities across different days with more downtime

If you match that first group, this combo is exactly the kind of practical, high-reward Bali day that turns into a “why didn’t I do this sooner?” moment.
