Ubud quad biking then Padang Bai snorkeling with lunch and pickup

You’ll start your Bali adventure on muddy quad bike trails near Ubud—waterfalls, tunnels, rice fields—then refuel with an Indonesian lunch before snorkeling at Blue Lagoon Beach in Padang Bai. Expect colorful fish, maybe even turtles, plus all transport and gear included. It’s sweaty, salty fun—and you’ll feel every minute of it.

The Experience

“You sure you’ve driven one of these before?” our guide grinned at me, handing over the helmet. I shrugged—honestly, I hadn’t. The quad bike felt heavier than I expected, but once we got moving outside Ubud, something clicked. Mud splattered my arms as we bounced through rice fields and dipped into a tunnel that echoed with the sound of engines and laughter. There was this sudden waterfall section—cold spray hit my face out of nowhere. I still think about that moment; it was like Bali itself woke me up.

After two hours (give or take—I lost track), we peeled off our gear and sat down for lunch. It was simple Indonesian food—nasi goreng, chicken satay—but after all that adrenaline, it tasted perfect. Our driver Wayan chatted about his village while we ate; he kept pointing out little things I’d have missed, like the way Balinese people tie their sarongs for ceremonies. Then we piled back into the car for the drive to Padang Bai. The road twisted past temples and roadside warungs—smelled like clove cigarettes and sea air mixed together.

Snorkeling at Blue Lagoon Beach is different from what I pictured—there’s this old wooden boat that takes you out to two spots: Blue Lagoon and Tanjung Jepun. The water really is clear enough to see your toes (and a lot of fish). At one point a parrotfish zipped by so close I almost dropped my snorkel. Someone said they saw a turtle—I wasn’t that lucky, but honestly just floating there was enough for me. My mask kept fogging up but I didn’t care much.

By late afternoon, salty and sun-tired, we rinsed off in the changing rooms before heading back to our hotel. Wayan asked if we wanted to stop for coffee but honestly my legs were jelly from the quad bike ride. So yeah, if you want a day trip from Ubud or anywhere near Bali’s south coast that mixes mud with saltwater—and includes pickup plus lunch—you’ll probably love this as much as I did.

What’s included

Your day includes private hotel pickup by English-speaking driver, full safety equipment for both quad biking and snorkeling (single or tandem options), insurance coverage, shower facilities with changing rooms after activities, all local taxes covered, traditional boat transfers between two snorkeling spots at Padang Bai’s Blue Lagoon Beach and Tanjung Jepun, plus a set menu Indonesian lunch before heading back to your hotel.
