Discover Bali’s Hidden Gem: The Blue Lagoon Snorkeling and Quad Bike Adventure

If you’re exploring Bali and craving a mix of adventure and scenic beauty, this tour blends snorkeling in the Blue Lagoon with an exciting quad bike ride through lush jungles and traditional villages. For $79 per person, you get around 8 hours of immersive fun, with pickup included, and the chance to see Bali from a fresh perspective.
What we love most about this experience is how seamlessly it combines nature’s stunning underwater life with off-road excitement. The Blue Lagoon’s crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral are a real highlight, and the quad biking offers a physically engaging way to see Bali’s countryside—think waterfalls, rice paddies, and jungle trails. Plus, the visit to the coffee-making process adds a charming touch of local culture.
One aspect to consider is that the tour is designed for a variety of fitness levels, but participants under 12 need to ride tandem with an adult, so younger travelers should be prepared for this. Also, because weather can impact the schedule, it’s good to remember that your booking is weather-dependent, but the tour’s flexibility means you can reschedule or get a full refund if the weather turns sour.
This tour suits travelers who love active outdoor experiences, are eager to explore Bali’s natural beauty firsthand, and enjoy delicious local food. It’s particularly ideal for those who want a balanced day of adventure, culture, and scenery without spending a fortune.
