The experience

What separates this from a standard sightseeing tour is the two-hour quad bike segment itself. Before you ride, a professional ATV instructor runs a full safety briefing and fits you with approved equipment, boots, helmet and protective gear. Then you operate the bike through rice terraces, tunnels, bamboo forest, jungle, river crossings, villages and technical terrain: steep downhill sections and climbs that let you feel the full power of the machine. If you want a gentler pace, the instructor adjusts. If you crave the challenge, they guide you through the most technical slopes on the site. Children as young as 5 can ride tandem with an adult. Solo riders must be at least 12.

After the ride, you shower and change at the ATV facility, then lunch is served at the on-site restaurant. The second half of the day shifts to guided stops. Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary occupies 27 acres and is home to over 400 long-tailed macaques divided into four groups. It's an important cultural and spiritual site that draws upwards of 10,000 visitors monthly. Ubud Palace sits on the main Jalan Raya Ubud road and serves as the focal landmark of the town. It was built in the early 1800s and remains well maintained by the royal family. Tegalalang Rice Terrace spreads across hillside slopes in a series of three splendid terraced landscapes. The high roadside location is cool and breezy, and it's a well-known stop for photos. Tegenungan Waterfall reaches up to 20 meters high and flows along the Petanu river. You can feel the vibration of the falling water from the viewing point, surrounded by green rocky walls.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from your accommodation in Seminyak, Ubud, Sanur, Denpasar, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, Canggu or other areas. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver who also serves as your tour guide. All entrance tickets, ATV ride insurance, tax and services are covered. Bring sunscreen, a camera and a change of clothes. Vegetarian lunch options are available if you request them at booking.
