ATV Riding in Bali: Rice Fields, Jungle & River Tubing

Control the bike through terrain that shifts from rice fields to forest to village roads.

ATV riding combined with river tubing in Bali takes six hours and covers lush rice paddies, jungle trails, traditional villages and a scenic river with gentle rapids. The experience includes a safety briefing and practice session before you ride, hotel pickup and drop-off (depending on your option), lunch, all safety equipment, and a live English-speaking guide. Not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns. Moderate fitness required.

The experience

You start with a safety briefing and a short practice session on the ATV before the guided ride begins. This means you get comfortable with the quad bike on flat ground first, so the moment you hit the rice paddies and forest trails, you already know how the machine responds. The route takes you through lush paddies, dense forest, traditional villages, and highland terrain: a mix of challenging tracks and smoother paths that keeps the ride varied without overwhelming you if this is your first time on an ATV.

After the riding portion, you're transported to the river for the tubing section. A second safety briefing covers the river itself: how to navigate the gentle rapids, where the water slows, what to expect from the current. You wear a life jacket and helmet for this part, and the river winds through tropical rainforest, so the landscape shifts again as you float. The tubing is the cool-down after the physical intensity of riding, and it gives your legs a break while you're still moving through Bali's terrain.

The day includes hotel pickup and drop-off (in the option you select), lunch, a clean towel, coffee or tea, and all the safety gear: helmet, gloves, life jacket, paddle. Everything except personal expenses is covered, and the guides are English-speaking professionals who know both the ATV routes and the river. The whole experience runs six hours from start to finish.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the ATV practice session like before the guided ride?

The practice session is short and happens on flat ground at the start, so you learn how the quad bike handles before following the guides through rice fields and forest. This gives you confidence with the machine's controls and response before you encounter the varied terrain of the actual route.

Can I choose between riding solo on the ATV or sharing one?

Yes, you can book ATV Single (riding alone) or ATV Tandem (sharing one quad bike with another person). Both options pair with either a meeting point for tubing or the full tubing experience, depending on which package you select at checkout.

What does the river tubing part involve?

River tubing takes you down a scenic river with gentle rapids and calm stretches, surrounded by tropical rainforest. You wear a life jacket and helmet, and a guide explains the route and any hazards before you start floating and paddling through the water.

How long does the whole experience take?

The full day runs six hours from hotel pickup through the ATV ride, river tubing, and drop-off. The exact timing of each section depends on your option and the route conditions on the day you go.

What fitness level do I need for this?

Moderate physical fitness is required. The ATV riding involves balance and core strength, and the river tubing demands the ability to paddle and navigate water. The experience is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns.
