You’ll grip the handlebars as your quad bike splashes through rivers and tunnels near Ubud, guided by locals who know every twist of the track. Feel village life whiz by, share muddy laughs with fellow riders, and refuel with lunch before heading back—muddy but grinning wider than you thought possible.
Boots thumping in the dust, I watched Wayan—our guide—tie a scarf around his head before grinning at us. He said something about “more mud, more fun,” which made me laugh but also a little nervous. The engines started up with that throaty rumble and suddenly we were off, weaving between banana trees and tiny shrines tucked under frangipani branches. The smell of wet earth was everywhere—thick and sweet after last night’s rain. I didn’t expect to be this giddy just from steering an ATV through puddles, but here we are.
There’s a part where you duck into a tunnel—completely dark for a second except for the echo of your own whoop bouncing off stone. Wayan shouted something back at me (no clue what), and then light again: rice paddies flashing green in the sun, kids waving from the edge of a village lane. My hands were shaking—not scared, just pure adrenaline. We stopped by a riverbank where another group was rinsing mud off their faces; one guy tried to wash his shoes and slipped right in. Everyone cracked up—even the guides.
I picked the package with hotel pickup (worth it) and lunch included—sat down after peeling off muddy boots to this plate of fried rice that tasted so much better than it had any right to. If you want extra thrills you can add the Bali Swing or even tag on an Ubud tour—some folks did both and came back buzzing about monkey antics in the forest. Honestly though, that first blast of cool air as we sped through the tunnel is what sticks with me most. Still feels like it’s somewhere in my chest.
