The experience
Your day starts on the Ayung River, where you navigate fun rapids while the jungle closes in around you: hidden waterfalls appear between the banks, and the water moves fast enough to keep you alert but not so fast that it stops being fun. The guide handles the technical parts. You paddle when he says and hold on when the current does the work. The river cuts through forest that feels untouched, and the whole thing takes up the morning before you come off the water hungry.
After an Indonesian buffet lunch, you switch to an ATV quad bike. The ride goes through countryside most tourists never see: muddy jungle tracks narrow enough that branches brush your shoulders, then opens into rice paddies where the path is just packed earth between the fields, then through a traditional village where you move slowly enough to nod at people sitting outside their homes. You can ride solo or ride tandem with someone else on the same bike: couples often choose tandem, and so do friends who want to share the driving. The guide leads. You follow his line through the terrain and learn the bike's weight as you lean into turns.
The whole day runs six hours from start to finish. An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel and brings you back, so you don't have to arrange transport or figure out where to go. You get bottled water throughout, a shower room and changing room to rinse off before you leave, and all the safety gear: helmet, life jacket on the river, protective padding on the bike. Bring sunscreen and a camera. The light changes fast in the jungle and the waterfalls are worth shooting.
Is this one for you?Book this if your first day in Ubud has a gap and you want to fill it with two different activities instead of one. The guide handles both, the lunch breaks the day in half, and the hotel pickup means you don't have to find your way to either starting point.

Top questions
Can I do just the rafting or just the ATV riding instead of both?
Yes. You can book the Ayung River rafting alone, the ATV riding alone, or both activities together. Pick whichever option suits your schedule and energy level at checkout.
What's the Ayung River like for someone who's never rafted before?
The Ayung River has fun rapids that move you along without being extreme. The guide controls the boat and tells you when to paddle, so beginners paddle alongside experienced rafters without feeling out of place. The water is fast enough to feel like something is happening, but the rapids are rated for mixed ability groups.
Do I have to ride the ATV alone, or can someone ride with me?
You choose at checkout: solo ride means you operate the bike by yourself, or tandem means a second person rides as a passenger on the same ATV while you drive, which is popular with couples and friends who want to share one bike.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet and muddy. Bring a change of clothes and sunscreen. The operator provides all safety equipment including helmet and life jacket. There's a shower room and changing room at the end of the day so you can rinse off before heading back to your hotel.
Does the price include getting to and from my hotel?
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included in all options, so you don't need to arrange separate transport. The air-conditioned vehicle collects you and brings you back.
How long does the whole day take?
The activity runs six hours total, including the rafting, lunch break, ATV riding, and travel time to and from your hotel.
