The experience
You get picked up from your hotel and driven twenty minutes north of Ubud's center to where the terrain opens into less-touristic jungle and farmland. The quad bike section is where the day's adrenaline lives: you ride through rice fields, plantation, tunnel, jungle, waterfall and mud, operating the bike yourself with a professional instructor guiding the route. The riding passes through real nature that most visitors never see, and the mud and terrain are part of why people book this instead of a gentler tour. Helmet, boots and safety gear are provided, and there's a locker and shower on-site when you finish.
After the riding, you visit the Sacred Monkey Forest, a thick forest sanctuary with three temples inside it where local people come to pray during ceremonies. The wildlife (monkeys, birds, lizards, butterflies) lives among the trees, and the paths wind under shade so the forest itself is the setting. Then you stop at Batuan Temple, one of three main temples in the village and known for its deep Hindu architecture and story. Lunch is a local meal included in the day.
You can book as a single rider on your own bike (minimum age 16, maximum age 59, maximum weight 120 kg per bike), or as a tandem pair sharing one bike if you prefer. Tandem bookings must be made in even multiples (two, four, six riders and so on), and children aged 9–15 ride tandem with an adult. Insurance is covered, and the guide speaks English. Hotel drop-off happens at the end of the day.
Is this one for you?Book the single ATV option if you want full control of the bike and have ridden before or are confident learning quickly. Choose tandem if you'd rather share the ride with a partner or if you're traveling with a child aged 9–15 who needs to ride with an adult.

Top questions
What's the Sacred Monkey Forest actually like when you walk through it?
The Sacred Monkey Forest is a thick forest sanctuary with three temples inside it, and the monkeys, birds, lizards and butterflies live among the trees along shaded paths. Local people come to pray there during special ceremonies, so it's an active spiritual place, not just a tourist stop.
Do I ride the quad bike myself or does someone else drive?
You operate the quad bike yourself with a professional instructor guiding the route. The riding passes through rice fields, jungle, plantation, waterfall and mud. The terrain and control are part of the experience.
What's included in the ten hours, and what costs extra?
Hotel pickup and drop-off, the quad bike ride with helmet and safety gear, the Sacred Monkey Forest and Batuan Temple visits, and lunch are all included. Souvenir photos and alcoholic drinks are available to purchase separately.
Can I ride if I'm over 59 or weigh more than 120 kg?
The maximum age for a single rider is 59 and the maximum weight is 120 kg per bike. If you don't fit those limits, a tandem ride with a partner may be an option depending on the combined weight.
What happens if I've never ridden a quad bike before?
