UTV Buggy Riding in Ubud: 7 km Private Track Adventure

Mud, waterholes, a crocodile cave, and a river bath in one ride

UTV buggy riding in Ubud puts you behind the wheel of a fully automatic buggy on a private 7 km track through muddy trails, rice fields, splashy waterholes, a crocodile cave and jungle paths. Professional instructors guide you through the course, and the ride ends with a float in a natural river bath surrounded by waterfalls and hidden caves. You choose between a solo ride or a tandem buggy, and lunch, safety gear, insurance and shower facilities are included.

The experience

You get behind the wheel of a fully automatic UTV buggy: no manual transmission to wrestle with, just throttle and steering. The private 7 km track winds through terrain that changes constantly: muddy sections that test your grip, rice fields where the path narrows, splashy waterholes that soak you, dense jungle paths, and a detour into a crocodile cave. A professional instructor rides with you or nearby, watching your line and calling out the next section. The speed circuit at the end lets you push harder once you've found your rhythm on the softer ground.

Safety gear (helmet, boots and plastic socks) comes with you, and insurance covers the ride. Shower facilities and towels are waiting when you're done with the buggy. Then comes the river bath: you float on natural spring water in a small boat, surrounded by canyon walls, waterfalls and caves that have been there for centuries. It's the cool-down after the adrenaline, and it's built into the day.

Lunch (nasi goreng or mie goreng) and a welcome drink are included. The whole experience runs about an hour on the track itself. You can ride solo or share a tandem buggy with someone else. The choice is yours at checkout. Minimum age to drive is 17. Children from age 6 can ride as passengers in a tandem buggy.
