Ayung River Rafting and ATV Riding in Ubud: Two Adventures

Ride your own quad bike and paddle your own raft on the same day in Ubud

Combine two separate adventures in one day near Ubud: ride a 250cc ATV quad bike for roughly 1.5 hours through rice fields and bamboo forest, then white-water raft the Ayung River for roughly 2 hours, jumping in to cool off at hidden waterfalls. A guide leads both activities, lunch and all safety gear are provided, and hotel pickup is available as an add-on option. The full day runs about 9 hours from pickup to drop-off.

Step-by-step itinerary

ATV ride and river rafting adventure

• Arrive 30 minutes early
• Enjoy white water rafting on Ayung River
• See hidden waterfalls and swim
• Have buffet lunch by the river
• Ride ATV through rice fields and bamboo forest

The experience

The day splits into two distinct activities, each one something you operate yourself. You start on the quad bike, riding a 250cc ATV off the main roads through the landscape around Ubud: rice paddies, bamboo groves, and the riverside flanked by traditional Balinese villages. The ride lasts roughly 1.5 hours and covers terrain that a regular vehicle cannot reach. After you finish, you shower and change before moving to the river.

The Ayung River section is a white-water raft, not a guided sightseeing float. You paddle through the water for roughly 2 hours, passing hidden waterfalls and swimming holes where you can jump in and cool off. The raft pulls up on the riverbank at a local restaurant where you eat a buffet lunch with views back over the jungle. Mineral water and refreshments are available throughout the day.

All safety equipment (helmet, boots, life jacket) is provided and fitted before you start. An English-speaking guide leads both the ATV section and the rafting section. You can book as a solo rider on your own quad bike (minimum age 16), or as a tandem pair sharing one bike, with one person driving and one as passenger (children aged 5–16 must ride as a passenger with an adult). Hotel pickup and drop-off at your original location are included if you choose the transfer option. Without it, you arrange your own way to the meeting point.
