A Thrilling 2-Hour Bali Quad Bike Adventure with Buffet Lunch
Imagine cruising through Bali’s lush rice terraces, bamboo forests, and scenic villages on a powerful automatic 250 cc quad bike—that’s exactly what this tour offers. For a modest $35 per person, you get roughly two hours of adrenaline-pumping riding through some of the most picturesque landscapes around Ubud, with the added perk of a delicious buffet lunch. The tour lasts about six hours total, including pickups from your hotel, making it a seamless way to combine adventure with comfort.
What we really love is how flexible and accessible this experience is; beginners and seasoned riders alike can enjoy the challenging terrain, thanks to the clear safety briefings and expert guiding. Plus, the scenery is second to none—think terraced rice paddies, bamboo groves, and jungle river crossings.
A potential consideration is the weather, as most outdoor adventures depend on good conditions; if rain hits during your ride, it might make the terrain slippery, and the tour could be canceled or rescheduled. But overall, this tour suits active travelers, families with kids aged 5 and up, and anyone eager to explore Bali’s countryside away from the usual tourist spots.
If you’re looking for a fun, engaging, and scenic adventure with good value for money—and don’t mind getting a little dusty—this trip could be just what you need.
