The Experience

You ride your own ATV through Bali's back roads and jungle trails, not sit as a passenger. The day starts with a safety briefing and equipment check — helmet, boots and protective gear are provided — then you head out with a guide who sets the pace. The route takes you through Tegalalang Rice Terrace's terraced paddies north of Ubud, past Celuk Village where artisans work silver and gold, and through villages where the guide points out local life as you ride.

The waterfall stop breaks up the riding: Tegenungan Waterfall sits near Ubud, and you get time to swim and cool off. Between that and the rice fields, the itinerary includes a swing overlooking the valley, a batik production workshop, and a water temple where spring water flows. The underground tunnels mentioned in the title are part of the jungle sections — tight squeezes that add technical riding to the day. An Indonesian meal is included, and you have access to a locker, towel and shower facilities to clean up afterward.

Choose between a solo ride (age 13 and up) or tandem (children from age 6 can ride with an adult). Both options come with the same guide, stops and inclusions; the difference is whether you ride alone or share the bike. If you're booking from a hotel in Ubud, Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, Canggu, Sanur, Jimbaran or Nusa Dua, pickup is available as an add-on option at checkout.

Is this one for you?Book the solo option if you want to operate the bike yourself and ride at your own pace; choose tandem if you're bringing children aged 6 or older and want them to experience the jungle without riding alone. Add hotel pickup if you're staying in Ubud or one of the coastal towns — it removes the logistics of finding the meeting point on your first morning in Bali.

Top questions

Can I ride an ATV in Bali if I've never done it before?

Yes. The activity is designed for both beginners and experienced riders. You get a comprehensive safety briefing before you start, and an experienced guide rides with you throughout the day to set the pace and show you the route.

What is Tegenungan Waterfall like when we get there?

Tegenungan Waterfall is one of the most visited waterfalls near Ubud. You'll have time to swim and cool off in the pool at the base — it's a natural break in the riding part of the day.

What does the tandem ride option mean?

On a tandem ride, one person operates the ATV while a second person sits as a passenger. This option allows children from age 6 to join the activity with an adult, whereas solo riders must be at least 13 years old.

Is hotel pickup included, or do I need to get to a meeting point?

Hotel pickup is available as an option at checkout if you're staying in Ubud, Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, Canggu, Sanur, Jimbaran or Nusa Dua. If you don't add it, you'll arrange your own transport to the meeting point.

What safety equipment do I get?

The package includes a helmet, boots and all protective safety equipment. Insurance is also covered, and you receive a full safety briefing before the ride begins.

How long does the whole activity take?

The activity runs 8 to 10 hours, including the ATV riding, stops at the waterfall and villages, the meal, and time to shower and change afterward.
