Two thrills in one Bali day. You’ll do Ayung River rafting and then switch gears to an ATV ride through Ubud’s countryside scenery. It’s the kind of combo that lets you get wet, get loud, and still see real Balinese village life.

I like that the rafting is guide-led on one of Bali’s main rivers, with time on the water (about two hours) and plenty to look at along the way. I also like that the day is set up with a buffet lunch between the rafting and the ATV, so you’re not just running on adrenaline.

One consideration: this kind of day is schedule-sensitive. If pickup timing is unclear, it can add stress, so I’d double-check your meeting time and make sure you’re easy to find on the day.

Key highlights to know before you go

• Ayung River class III rapids are the main plan, with possible class IV during rainy season
• About 2 hours rafting plus a river start that may involve walking down through rainforest to the water
• Buffet lunch before you gear up for the quad bikes (helmet and boots)
• Around 1.5 hours on an ATV through rice fields, bamboo forest, and riverside areas
• Solo vs tandem ATV rules: solo rider is min age 16; tandem must be booked in multiples of 2
• Guide quality matters, and names you might see include Billy, Gung Wira, and Gede

Ayung River rafting in Ubud: class III rapids, waterfalls, and real river time

The Ayung River is one of Bali’s biggest and longest rivers, and the whole point here is about getting you safely onto it with enough time to enjoy the water. You’re looking at about two hours on the river, not a quick dip and goodbye.

The rapids are listed as class III, with it potentially becoming class IV in rainy season. Translation for your planning: if you’re going during wetter months, expect a bigger challenge. You’ll want to listen closely to your guide in the briefing, because your comfort on the water comes down to how well you follow their instructions.

On top of the thrills, you get scenery and stops along the way—things like waterfalls and stone carving features, plus chances to spot wildlife and unusual plants. This is the kind of rafting where you’re not only surviving rapids; you’re also using your eyes.

A practical note: rafting days work best when you dress like you’re about to get wet (because you will). Wear something you can get wet easily, and plan on bringing a change of dry clothes for later in the day.

The transition: buffet lunch and gearing up before the quad ride

After the rafting, the day shifts into a calmer rhythm—buffet lunch—before you head out on the ATV. I like this structure because it stops the experience from feeling like nonstop chaos.

Then you’ll gear up: helmet and boots are part of the setup. If you’ve ridden scooters before, great. If not, also fine—what matters is that an experienced guide is walking you through how to handle the track, including the parts that feel challenging.

This is also the point where you’ll want to reset your energy. Your second activity is hands-on and physical, and that combo works best when you’ve eaten and hydrated.

If you’re sensitive to motion or sun, consider bringing sunglasses and using sunscreen before the ATV portion. Even if clouds show up, you’re moving at speed through exposed countryside.

ATV quad biking in Ubud: rice fields, bamboo forest, and 1.5 hours of track time

The ATV part is listed at about 1 hour 30 minutes, and it’s designed for a mix of skill levels. You ride with an experienced guide, so you’re not just wandering around on your own.

The scenery is a big reason to choose this combo. You’ll travel past rice fields, through a bamboo forest, and along riverside areas with traditional Balinese villages in view. It’s one of those activities where you’re moving fast enough to feel adrenaline, but close enough to feel like you’re actually in the countryside, not staring out a car window.

How fast you go isn’t the only factor—what you’ll feel most is the track: turns, uneven ground, and the need to keep control. That’s why the tour notes a strong physical fitness level. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you should be prepared for hands-on riding effort and getting in and out of the quad comfortably.

Solo vs tandem ATV: choose what fits your group

ATV options have specific rules:

• Solo: one rider per quad, and the minimum age is 16
• Tandem: one driver and one passenger on the same quad
• Tandem must be booked in multiples of 2 (example: 2, 4, 6, 8)
• Children age 7–16 need an adult present to do the passenger tandem ride

If you’re traveling as a family, this is where planning early saves headaches. Get your rider ages clear before you book, and make sure your group math works for the tandem requirement.

Door-to-door transfers and total timing: when the day feels smooth or stressful

You’ve got options around getting picked up and dropped off. Door-to-door round-trip transfers are offered as an optional add-on, and the tour also notes you can find it near public transportation.

One version of the timing is important: the full trip is listed as approximately 9 hours for the package with transfers (from pickup to drop off). Drop off returns you to the original pickup point. Without transfers, your shorter day time is often closer to the 4 to 5 hours range, but you’ll want to treat that as an estimate.

Here’s the real-world lesson from this type of schedule: your experience quality depends on whether your pickup and meeting time are crystal clear. One issue that can happen on adventure combos is simple timing confusion—like arriving to the wrong time or not being picked up as expected.

My practical advice: check your meeting details right after booking, arrive slightly early at the meeting point, and be ready to confirm the time on the day if anything feels off. You’ll enjoy the rafting and ATV much more when you’re not spending the first hour wondering what’s going on.

Guides can make or break the experience: Billy, Gung Wira, and Gede

This combo gets attention for its guides, and that makes sense. On the river, your safety and fun depend on what the guide emphasizes and how they read the water. On the ATV track, it’s the guide who helps you go from cautious to confident.

You may see names like Billy, Gung Wira, and Gede. In the feedback tied to these names, the guides are praised for being professional, funny, and safety-focused. One guide was specifically mentioned for having strong river experience (around 8 years), which matters because it often means better calls on how to handle rocks and rapids.

A good sign of a quality guide is how they handle the messy parts: getting everyone lined up, explaining what to do, and keeping the group moving at the right pace. If you feel the guide is calm and clear, your day usually runs smoother.

When you arrive, listen carefully during the briefing. Even if you’re excited, take the safety info seriously. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re smiling mid-rapid instead of bracing for the next turn.

Who should book this Ayung + ATV combo, and who should skip it

This is built for people who want a mix of wet adventure and countryside riding. The vibe fits:

• Anyone who’s comfortable with active outdoor time
• People who want about two hours of rafting plus about 1.5 hours of ATV riding
• Groups who like guided activities and don’t want to coordinate multiple vendors

It also has clear boundaries:

• Minimum age for the adventure is 5 years
• ATV solo minimum age is 16
• Tandem is possible with an adult present rule for kids 7–16

The biggest filter is physical fitness. The tour specifically says you should have a strong physical fitness level. If you have limited mobility, significant balance issues, or you know you struggle with getting on and off gear repeatedly, this may not be the best match.

Also note: this is set up as a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That can be a big plus if you want a more controlled pace and less waiting around for other groups.

The $20 value: what you’re really getting, and what to bring

At $20 per person, this combo is priced like a budget adventure, which is exactly why it’s appealing. You’re not just buying a ride—you’re getting access to two guided activities, both described with included admission tickets, plus a day plan that stacks rafting, lunch, and ATV riding.

But here’s the key: that low price only feels like a win if the logistics line up. When pickup details are handled well, the day flows. When timing gets sloppy, you lose time, and that’s when budget deals can feel like a bad trade.

What you should bring (not because the tour says it, but because it helps you enjoy both activities):

• A change of dry clothes for after rafting/ATV
• Sun protection like sunscreen and sunglasses
• Water or a refill plan, since you’ll be active for hours
• Closed-toe shoes you can tolerate getting dirty or wet

Because the ATV uses helmet and boots, your main comfort issues are fit and what you wear underneath. Choose clothing that won’t become a problem when wet or dusty.

If you want a fun, high-energy day in Ubud without spending a fortune, this package has a lot going for it—especially because it combines river thrills with countryside views you wouldn’t see from a car.

Should you book Infinity Bali Rafting Ubud + ATV?

Book it if you want:

• Guided rafting on the Ayung River with about two hours on the water
• A real ATV ride (about 1.5 hours) through rice fields and bamboo areas
• A single-day plan that includes buffet lunch and gear like helmets and boots
• A private-group feel and a structured day timeline

Think twice if:

• Your group has kids who need tandem arrangements, since the tandem rules must match your booking group size
• You’re the type who gets stressed by timing, because this is a schedule-heavy combo and pickup clarity matters
• You don’t meet the strong physical fitness expectation

If you go in prepared and confirm pickup timing early, this is the kind of Ubud day that can feel like two adventures stitched together into one memorable outing.
