ATV Riding in Pecatu Village: 1.5 Hours Off-Road

Steer your own quad through Bali's unbeaten tracks instead of watching from a van

ATV riding in Pecatu village is a 1.5-hour off-road activity where you operate a quad bike through rocky paths, jungle and rugged terrain. Hotel pickup is optional. A driver brings you to the village and waits for your return. You can upgrade to include Uluwatu Temple after the ride, with the Kecak dance performance available separately at the temple. Helmet, boots, towels and light Indonesian lunch are included. The activity requires a minimum age of 10 and a maximum of 60.

The experience

You arrive at Pecatu village after an optional hotel pickup, or you can meet the operator at the venue. The ride itself is 1.5 hours of steering your own quad through rocky paths and off-road tracks that cut through lush jungle and uneven terrain. You navigate the bike yourself, no guide riding alongside, so the pace and line are yours to control. Helmet and boots come with the rental, and shower facilities are available after you finish.

If you book the Uluwatu option, the driver takes you to the temple after the ATV portion ends. Uluwatu Temple sits on cliffs above the Indian Ocean, and entry is included. The Kecak performance happens at sunset and costs an additional USD 10 per person, paid separately at the temple. The show features chanting performers in traditional dress telling stories of love and heroism. Because the performance is popular, the operator recommends buying tickets by 4 pm if you want a seat.

The full day runs about 7 hours from pickup to drop-off. Light Indonesian lunch is included. Tandem rides (two people per bike) must be booked in pairs, with a combined weight limit of 145 kg. Solo rides have no weight restriction. Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult. Wear light, comfortable clothing and bring a change of clothes, sunscreen, sunglasses and a camera.

Is this one for you?Book the solo ride if you want full control of the bike and the pace through the terrain. Choose tandem if you're riding with a partner and want to share the cost. Add Uluwatu Temple if you have a free afternoon and want to see the cliffs and catch the sunset Kecak performance: the timing works because the ATV ride finishes early enough to reach the temple before the show starts.
