Quad Rafting Ubud: 90 minutes on two-wheel jungle tracks

Two hours in the water, then 90 minutes tearing through rice fields and jungle

You'll paddle the Ayung River for two hours with a guide, eat lunch, then ride an ATV through rice fields, jungle, a tunnel, and past a waterfall for 90 minutes. Hotel pickup is included, as are all safety gear, boots, helmet, insurance, and a second meal after the ride. The two sites are separate, so there's travel time between them. Plan for a full morning and early afternoon.

The experience

The plan was tight: two hours on the Ayung River, then straight to the ATV compound for 90 minutes tearing through rice fields and jungle. Our driver pulled up to the rafting office on time, but the guide was still gearing up another group, so we sat in the lobby for fifteen minutes watching helmets pile up on a bench. It's the kind of thing that happens when you're booking a combo tour in rural Ubud: two separate companies, two separate schedules, one shared pickup. Once we got moving though, it stopped mattering.

The rafting started with a short safety briefing and a shuttle down to the Ayung River. The water was high and fresh, and the guide (a lean guy named Ketut who'd been running these rapids for eight years) pointed out the trickier sections before we hit them. Two hours paddling through the canyon, past a waterfall, over the Class II and III rapids that actually feel like something when you're in a rubber boat with five other people and one paddle. The rhythm of it is real: paddle, brace, listen, paddle again. By the end your shoulders know it. Lunch came after (a buffet spread at the rafting office), and then the waiting game started again while they prepped the ATV compound.

The quad bikes were lined up when we arrived, and the ATV guide did a proper walk-through of the route and the bike itself before anyone mounted up. Ninety minutes sounds short until you're actually riding it: rice paddies first, then into the jungle proper, mud tracks that pull at the tires, a river crossing, a tunnel carved through rock, a waterfall you ride past, and a section of wet, slick terrain that's genuinely tricky. The guide stayed close, showed the line through each section, and stopped twice for photos in the green. Boots and helmet were provided (the deposit for the locker and towel is 100,000 IDR, which you get back), and there's a shower and changing room at the compound. A second lunch (sandwich and fries this time) came after you'd cleaned up.

The whole day runs about four hours of actual activity, plus the gaps between sites and the meals. You need moderate fitness: the rafting isn't technical but it's steady paddling, and the ATV riding demands balance and attention on uneven ground. Pregnant travelers aren't allowed, and anyone with spinal or heart issues should skip it. Kids between 6 and 12 can ride tandem with a parent. Solo riders are 13 and up. The weight limit is 150 kg per bike. If you're booking tandem, you have to book in pairs (two people, four people, six people), not odd numbers.

What’s included

Is this one for you?Book this if you want a full morning of two different activities without arranging transport between sites or managing separate bookings: the combo package and shared driver handle both, though it does mean some waiting time between the rafting finish and ATV start.

Top questions

What's included in the price?

Both meals (buffet after rafting, sandwich and fries after ATV), all safety equipment and boots, helmet, insurance, guide for both activities, locker and towel, shower and changing facilities, and hotel pickup.

How long is the whole day?

About four hours of activity (two hours rafting, 90 minutes ATV riding) plus travel time between the two sites and meals. Plan for five to six hours total from pickup to drop-off.

Can kids do this?

Children 6–12 can ride tandem on an ATV with a parent. Solo ATV riders must be 13 or older. There's no age restriction for rafting, but kids need to be comfortable in water.

Do I need to bring anything?

Cash for the 100,000 IDR locker and towel deposit (refunded after), sunblock, a change of clothes, and water shoes or sandals. Casual dress is fine. Boots for ATV and all safety gear are provided.

Are the rafting and ATV at the same place?

No. They're at different locations in the Ubud countryside. Your driver takes you between them, and you eat lunch at each site.

What if I'm not fit enough?

You need moderate fitness: steady paddling for two hours and balance on an ATV over uneven terrain. It's not extreme, but it's not leisurely either. Pregnant travelers and anyone with spinal or heart conditions should not book.

What's the weight limit for ATV?

150 kg per bike, whether riding solo or tandem.

Can I book just the ATV or just the rafting?

This is a combo package. If you want only one activity, you'd need to book separately through the individual operators.
