Reviewed · ATV QUAD & BUGGY OFF-ROAD
Excellence Bali ATV (Quad Bike) , White Water Rafting with Swing.
If you like your Bali days a little chaotic, this fits. You’ll do ATV riding through rice fields, river crossings, and muddy tracks, then cool off with white-water rafting, plus time to relax with coffee on the back end.
What I really liked is how the ATV feels like real off-road riding, not a paved track with scooters pretending to be adventurous. The day is also built with practical comforts for a long schedule: lunch, equipment, and a guide handling the hard parts so you can focus on staying balanced.
One thing to think about: you’re signing up for a bumpy, muddy ride. If you’re sensitive to getting dirty, or you want a clean, gentle sightseeing day, this probably won’t match your vibe.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

- 90% off-road ATV fun with mud, river sections, and even a small waterfall that gets you wet
- Pickup and transportation options to simplify a full day out of Kuta
- All equipment included for both ATV and rafting, plus a welcome drink and lunch
- Private group format so it’s just your crew
- Photo/video costs are mixed: Jeep sunrise content is included, but ATV and rafting media is not
- Age rules matter: solo riding starts at 12, younger kids ride tandem with an adult
Kuta to Rural Bali: A 12-Hour Day That Actually Fills Out

This is the kind of Bali day that makes sense if you don’t want to spend the hours in transit wondering what to do next. From Kuta, you’ll head into rural areas that most visitors never reach, with a plan that moves from adrenaline to a proper rinse-off activity.
The schedule is about 12 hours, which is long, but it stays efficient. You typically get picked up if you choose that option, get a welcome drink and lunch, then spend the middle chunk doing the main activities back-to-back.
Also, this is a private tour/activity, so you’re not squeezed into a big herd. That matters on off-road tours, where spacing and timing can make the difference between fun and stressful.
One extra note from the info you have: it includes a 100% money back guarantee if you don’t like it. That means you should still go in with a clear mindset—if you hate getting muddy, you already know what to expect. (Your future clean pants might be safer elsewhere.)

ATV Through Mud, Rice Fields, Forest Paths, and River Crossings

Let’s talk about the ATV, because that’s the headline for a reason. The riding is described as 90% off-road, with a bumpy road feel that’s meant to be rough, muddy, and exciting—not staged.
You ride with a guide who leads “chases” through a mix of places: local forests and farmland, plus rice field sections. Expect real countryside, not just a quick loop near a parking lot. The best part of this setup is that you get variety in a single ride: texture under your tires, changing ground, and frequent moments where you slow down because the terrain demands it.
And yes, you’ll get mud on you. The track includes river and tributary crossings, so even if you start with enthusiasm and good socks, the river sections will level the playing field.
There’s also mention of a small waterfall where you get wet. That’s the kind of detail that makes the route feel alive. It’s not just faster and rougher; it has texture and surprises built into the route.
What to wear so you enjoy it instead of cursing it
This info doesn’t list exact clothing requirements, but it does confirm you’ll be muddy and wet. So plan accordingly:
- Closed-toe shoes you don’t mind ruining
- Clothes you’re okay taking home…not in your best laundry basket
- Something to protect your phone if you bring one (water + mud are not gentle)
Solo vs tandem: who can ride
This is where you need to pay close attention. The rules are:
- Solo riding: minimum age 12
- Kids age 5–11: must ride tandem with an adult
If you have mixed ages in your group, it may change how the “fun” happens in practice. It’s not a problem—just plan your expectations and who will be on the ATV together.
White-Water Rafting: Thrill With the Right Gear and Pace

After the ATV, you shift gears to rafting. The tour description is clear that you’ll do white-water rafting as part of the same day, with your activities supported by guides and the included gear.
One of the smartest parts of this kind of combo day is how it spaces the intensity. The ATV heats you up with bouncing, steering effort, and constant terrain changes. Rafting then takes that adrenaline and channels it into teamwork and river flow.
You’ll also be in a scenario where safety and timing matter. The info says an instructor/guide is included, and multiple people mention guides who make them feel safe and supported.

What about the rafting photos and video?
Here’s a practical expectation to set: video and picture from the professional photographer at rafting and ATV are not included. That doesn’t mean you won’t get photos. It means you should assume you’ll pay extra if you want the professionally captured versions.
If you’re traveling on a tight budget, this is where you can save. If you’re celebrating something or you hate missing the action, budget a little for media.
The Coffee Plantation Stop: A Simple Reset That’s Worth It

After the main adrenaline sections, you’re dropped at a coffee plantation for relaxing and trying traditional coffee.
This part can feel small on paper, but it’s a real reset. Your clothes are likely dirty or damp after ATV and rafting. Having a calmer stop after the chaos gives you a moment to eat, sit, and get your bearings.
Also, it’s a nice “Bali memory” stop that doesn’t require more hiking or extra ticketing. You already did the big activities. This is the payoff moment where the day’s energy softens.
Guides and Service: Patient, Friendly, and Focused on Safety

What really stands out in the provided details is the human side of the operation. People consistently mention the way guides and drivers handle the day with patience and clear communication.
For instance:
- Awan is praised for keeping things safe and for being thoughtful with guests on a Jeep sunrise experience (the info mentions Mount Batur Sunrise content and related photography/video).
- Jeling is described as an excellent driver and extremely friendly and patient during the ATV and water rafting combo.
- Putu shows up in feedback as helpful with recommendations for what to do during the trip.
- Puti Undika and Putu Andika are also named as kind, patient drivers who don’t rush people.
You might not know which guide you’ll get until you’re booked. But the pattern is useful: the team doesn’t just hand you a vehicle and point forward. They manage pace, keep you comfortable, and help you get through the day without feeling abandoned.
That’s especially important with muddy ATV tracks and a rafting activity where you want calm instructions.
Price and Value: Why $34 Can Work (If You Read the Fine Print)

At $34 per person, this is priced like a budget adventure. The value comes from what’s included—not from the sticker price.
Here’s what your money typically covers:
- Transportation (if that option is selected)
- Lunch and a welcome drink
- All fees and taxes
- All equipment for ATV and rafting
- Activity guides/instructors
- Included video and pictures for Jeep sunrise (per the listed inclusions)
What it does not cover:
- Tipping for the guide
- Video and picture from the professional photographer at ATV and rafting
So the math looks good if you’re okay with paying extra only if you want the premium media. If you plan to buy all the photos/video add-ons, the price advantage can shrink.
Also, this is described as easy to book with a mobile ticket, and it’s private for your group. That combination often matters more than people realize. You’re paying for fewer hassles and less time wasted.
Timing, Fitness, and Weather: The Stuff That Can Make or Break Your Day

This adventure asks for moderate physical fitness. That doesn’t mean you need to be an athlete. It does mean you should be able to:
- sit on a bumpy ATV
- handle some awkward movement during gear prep
- stay alert during rafting instructions
The ride is designed to be rough. If you have back or mobility issues, consider how you’ll feel after hours of vibration and impact.
Weather also plays a role. The info states the experience requires good weather. If it gets canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
So if you’re traveling during a wetter stretch, you’ll want flexibility in your schedule. Muddy rides are fun—mud plus bad conditions is where the schedule can shift.
Where the Swing Fits In (What You Should Confirm)

The tour name includes swing, but the details you have here focus on ATV and white-water rafting, plus the coffee plantation stop.
Before you show up expecting a specific swing spot, I’d recommend confirming what the swing portion includes for your exact booking. It could be a short photo stop, or it may be tied to a separate viewpoint activity. The only responsible move is to ask your operator what’s included for your date.
Who Should Book This ATV + Rafting Combo
This is a great match if you want:
- a full-day action plan instead of a half-day shuffle
- off-road riding and real rural scenery
- a guided experience where gear is handled and you don’t need to plan route details
It’s also a smart choice for couples. The rafting and ATV both work well as shared activities, and the day ends with a calmer coffee stop.
It may not fit if you:
- hate getting dirty or don’t want wet clothes
- want a calm, slow culture day
- need everything to be wheelchair-friendly or low-impact (moderate fitness is required, and the ATV/rafting involve physical movement)
Should You Book Excellence Bali ATV + White-Water Rafting?
If you like active days and you’re okay getting muddy, I think this booking makes sense. The mix of ATV off-road terrain and white-water rafting, plus included lunch and gear, is strong value for $34—especially with pickup options and a private format.
I’d only hesitate if you’re expecting a clean, polished sightseeing tour or if you’re traveling with someone who can’t handle moderate physical activity. Also, decide in advance whether you’ll want the professional photo/video add-ons, since ATV and rafting media are not included.
If your group lines up with the age rules and you’re ready for a bumpy, wet adventure day, book it with confidence—and pack accordingly.
