Bali ATV Adventure: Ride Through Gorilla Cave & Ubud Jungle

Summary

Ubud Quad Biking: Jungle Trails & Hidden Waterfalls

You’ll get muddy, laugh a lot, and see parts of Bali most visitors miss—from jungle trails to that unforgettable gorilla cave exit. Perfect if you want real adventure beyond the usual beach day.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I noticed was the earthy scent—damp leaves mixed with a hint of smoke from a nearby warung. We met our guide, Pak Made, who handed us helmets and gave a quick rundown on handling the 250cc quad bikes. The engines rumbled to life as we rolled out past sleepy dogs and kids waving from the roadside. The track started easy but soon dipped into muddy ruts where I could feel the spray hit my arms. If you’re not used to riding off-road, don’t worry—they’ll walk you through it before you get going.

The best part? That tunnel carved right through the hillside, ending in the mouth of a massive gorilla face. It’s wild—one second you’re in pitch dark, then suddenly sunlight pours in and you’re staring out between giant stone teeth. Along the way we splashed through shallow rivers (my shoes got soaked), zipped past bright green rice paddies, and even stopped for a breather near a small waterfall where locals sometimes wash their bikes. After about 90 minutes of riding, we peeled off our muddy gear and grabbed lunch—nasi goreng with iced tea—at a little open-air spot next to the showers.
