Experience Bali’s Best with the ATV and Ubud Tour Package

Imagine cruising through Bali’s lush rice terraces, bamboo groves, and jungle trails on a sturdy quad bike, then exploring cultural gems like Ubud Palace and sacred monkey forests—all in one day. For $85 per person, this full-day, private tour offers a fantastic opportunity to combine adventure with culture, making it ideal for active travelers and those eager to see Bali’s varied landscapes up close.
We particularly loved the intensity of the ATV ride — it’s not just a leisurely spin. The guide’s safety briefing and well-maintained gear make this accessible for most ages, and the routes include both gentle paths and more challenging slopes, satisfying both beginners and thrill-seekers. Another highlight is the chance to capture stunning photos at Tegenungan Waterfall and the Tegalalang Rice Terraces, offering perfect Instagram moments.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is a long day, stretching around 8 to 10 hours, so it’s best suited for those comfortable with full-day excursions. While the variety of sights keeps it engaging, travelers who prefer more leisure time or a slower pace may find it a bit packed.
This tour is perfect if you’re looking for a balanced mix of adventure, culture, and scenic beauty. It’s especially well-suited for visitors who want an active, comprehensive experience of Ubud’s most iconic sights with a dash of adrenaline.
