Ubud ATV Adventure: Jungle Trails, Waterfall Tunnels & Mud

Waterfall tunnels carved into the rock are part of the route, not a separate stop.

An ATV activity in Ubud, Bali where you ride automatic bikes through jungle trails, rice fields, waterfall tunnels and mud tracks for 2.5 hours with a professional guide. Hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch, safety equipment, a briefing session and insurance are included; you choose between a single ATV or riding tandem, and one option adds round-trip transfer. Suitable for beginners and families, though not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with cardiovascular concerns.

The Experience

Two and a half hours on an automatic ATV means you don't need riding experience to start—the bikes handle the power, you handle the steering. The route moves through Bali's jungle terrain in a way a car or a walking tour cannot reach: you navigate rice paddies, muddy tracks that require real throttle control, and sections where the trail narrows between trees. The waterfall tunnels are actual passages carved into rock where water runs alongside the path, not a photo stop you glimpse from a distance.

A professional guide leads the group and handles the pacing. You get a safety briefing and training before the ride starts, so the first few minutes are about learning the bike's weight and how the throttle responds—that matters on the mud sections where momentum and control trade off against each other. Helmet and boots come with the package, along with a locker to secure anything you're not carrying. After the ride, shower facilities and a towel let you clean up before the buffet lunch, which sits at the end of the activity rather than breaking it in half.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included if you book the transfer option; if you arrange your own way to the meeting point, the activity itself is the same. You can ride solo or ride tandem—tandem means a passenger sits behind the driver on a single bike, which changes the weight distribution and the feel of the ride but keeps the group size smaller. Insurance covers the activity, and a guide who speaks English means instructions and route calls are clear.

Is this one for you?Book the single option if you want full control of the bike and the confidence that comes with riding your own machine through the mud and waterfall sections; choose tandem if you prefer a smaller group size or want to share the ride with someone else. The transfer option removes the need to arrange your own transport to Ubud from your hotel, which matters if you're unfamiliar with the area or traveling without a rental car.

Top questions

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

Yes—the activity is suitable for beginners. The bikes are automatic, so you don't shift gears, and the guide runs a briefing and training session before the ride starts to teach you how the throttle and brakes work on different terrain.

What happens during the 2.5 hours?

The time covers the briefing and training, the ride itself through jungle trails, rice fields, waterfall tunnels and mud tracks, and then a shower and buffet lunch after you finish. The ride portion is the bulk of it; the lunch comes after you've cleaned up.

Do I need to bring my own helmet and protective gear?

No—safety equipment including helmet and boots is provided. You'll also get a towel and access to shower facilities after the ride so you can wash off before lunch.

What's the difference between the single and tandem options?

On a single ATV, you ride alone and control the bike yourself. On tandem, a passenger sits behind the driver on the same bike, which means the group moves as fewer vehicles but each bike carries two people instead of one.

Is hotel pickup included?

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included in the ATV Adventure with Transfer option. If you book the standard ATV Adventure, you arrange your own way to the meeting point, and the activity cost is lower.

What should I wear?

Wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy and closed-toe shoes—the mud sections splash, and the terrain is rough. Boots are provided, but many riders prefer their own footwear underneath for comfort. Avoid loose clothing that could catch on the bike or branches.
