That feeling when your day starts outside. This Ubud adventure stacks ATV quad biking, Ayung River rafting, and Bali’s classic rice-and-coffee stops into one smooth day. You get a lot of variety for the money, without spending your time figuring out rides between activities.

Two things I really like about this combo are the option to ride tandem with a friend or drive your own quad (so it fits solo or pairs), and the way the day includes both adrenaline (off-road ATV and rafting) and calmer breaks (rice terrace photos, coffee tasting). One consideration: the headline price does not include entrance tickets for ATV, rafting, and the rice terrace, so you’ll want to budget extra.

Why This Ubud ATV + Rafting Combo Makes Sense

This is the kind of day plan that works in Bali because it avoids the usual travel headache. You’re not hunting down separate operators, comparing pickup times, or paying for multiple transfers. Instead, you’re carried along through a tight sequence: ATV first, then rafting, then rice terrace, then coffee.

The pacing also helps. ATV rides tend to leave you dusty and energized. Then rafting on the Ayung River resets the energy with water time and a different kind of effort. After that, you get the cultural/photogenic stops—Tegallalang Rice Terrace and a coffee plantation—plus lunch and showers that make the whole day feel less chaotic than it could.

The small group size (limited to 4 participants) matters too. You usually spend less time waiting around, and the guide can keep an eye on the group during safety briefings and gear prep.

Pickup and Drop-Off: Easy Start, Realistic End Points

You can choose from multiple pickup locations around Bali, including Seminyak, Ubud, Kuta, Canggu, and Sanur. The tour also lists matching drop-off options at the end of the day: Sanur, Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu, and Kuta.

That flexibility is useful if you’re not staying in the Ubud center. You can line up the tour to your hotel area instead of relocating just for the meeting point.

One more practical point: the tour runs as a full-day experience (listed as 1 day), and the schedule includes multiple activities plus showers and lunch. If your body runs hot on long days, this is the kind of itinerary where you’ll want to start hydrated and keep snacks simple.

The ATV Ride Near Ubud: Beji River Trail + Gorilla Face

The ATV segment is built around off-road riding through tropical terrain, with rice paddy views, rivers, and jungle trails. The ride time is listed as 1.5 hours, which is long enough to feel the bike but short enough that you still have plenty of energy for rafting afterward.

You have two ways to ride:

• Ride tandem with a friend (you share the ATV)
• Drive solo if you want your own quad

That solo option comes with an extra cost noted for solo travelers: 300k. If you’re traveling alone and you want the freedom of driving, that’s the number to plan for.

A key part of any ATV day is safety and control, and this tour includes a safety briefing before you head out, along with the equipment needed for the ride. During the journey, you pass the Gorilla Face Cave route (often described as Gorilla Face on the tour), which adds a memorable jungle landmark to the ride rather than just being “more dirt road.”

What to expect on the ground: expect uneven, wet-ish jungle track conditions at times, plus dust. You’ll be glad the tour day includes showers later, because you’ll likely want to wash off before the next activity.

Ayung River Rafting: 2.5 Hours of Jungle Views and Water Time

After ATV, you switch from engine noise to water sounds—and you get a bigger dose of Bali scenery. The rafting portion is listed at 2.5 hours on the Ayung River, and the tour is known for waterfall and jungle views along the route.

The experience here isn’t only about speed. It’s also about the way the river cuts through the greenery, with moments that feel like you’re watching the forest flow by rather than just fighting the current. The tour includes time that’s long enough to settle into rafting rhythm instead of feeling rushed.

You also get a chance to refresh. The day includes showers after the ATV segment, and there’s another shower later as well. That matters because rafting gear and water exposure can make you feel cold and sticky if you’re not ready for it.

Tegallalang Rice Terrace: A Short Stop That’s All About Photos

Once the adrenaline and wet time are handled, the day moves into Bali’s most recognizable scenery. The tour includes a stop at Tegallalang Rice Terrace for a break time and a photo visit, with the visit listed at 30 minutes.

That half hour is short on purpose. Rice terrace sites are busy and exposed, so you’re not meant to spend half a day here. Instead, you get time to walk a bit, take photos, and experience the terraces from a few angles.

You’ll want to dress with sun in mind and keep your camera ready. Also, since the tour includes entrance tickets that are not included in the base price, you should expect to pay that separate ticket on the day.

Coffee Plantation and Tasting: What the Tour Adds Beyond the View

After the rice terrace, the day includes a coffee plantation visit lasting 1 hour, with coffee and a coffee tasting.

This is one of those stops that can either be a quick sales pitch or something more useful, depending on how you approach it. In a combo day like this, the goal is usually to break up the schedule, learn a few basics, and taste what’s made locally—without turning it into a whole separate half-day tour.

If you like food and small tastes, you’ll enjoy this part. If you don’t care about coffee at all, you can treat it as a sit-down break before your final return.

Lunch Breaks, Showers, and the Pace That Keeps You Comfortable

This tour isn’t only activities on paper. It’s built around comfort too, especially with the included time to clean up.

You’ll have shower time after the ATV segment, then again later in the day. Lunch is listed as fried rice or noodles after the rafting and shower period, which is practical after being in sun and water.

I like that the meal is simple and filling. You don’t have to make decisions when you’re tired, wet, and hungry. And because you’re doing two active experiences, a real carb-based lunch helps you avoid the end-of-day slump.

Price and Value: What $24 Really Means

The listed price is $24 per person for a full-day combination. That sounds like a steal when you consider you’re getting ATV riding time, rafting time, a rice terrace visit, a coffee plantation, plus an English live tour guide and transfer options.

But here’s the part to plan around: entrance tickets are not included for ATV, rafting, and the rice terrace. So your total day cost will be base price plus those on-site ticket fees. Before you book, I suggest you budget for that extra layer so the final number doesn’t surprise you.

What really boosts the value is the convenience factor. In the feedback I’d trust most, people highlighted that the operator’s combined pricing can work out cheaper than handling each activity separately. They also pointed out you don’t have to think about getting around because the guide handles driving between stops.

For me, that’s the core value of combo tours in Bali: not just the activities, but the reduced friction.

Group Size and the Role of the Guide

A small group (limited to 4 participants) plus a live English guide makes a difference in a day like this. You’ll go through safety briefings without feeling like you’re waiting behind a busload.

The guide quality also seems to be a standout here. One review described the guide as amazing and said the whole day felt like a treat. Another called the guide brilliant and friendly and emphasized how helpful having a private driver is for hopping between locations.

That matters because ATV and rafting are not the type of activities where you want to be figuring things out on the fly. When the guide keeps things calm and clear, the day feels smoother from start to finish.

What to Bring (And What You’ll Be Glad You Brought)

The tour lists a clear packing checklist. Bring:

• A change of clothes
• Camera
• Credit card
• Cash

I’d treat the change of clothes as non-negotiable. After ATV and rafting, you’ll want something dry to wear for the rice terrace and coffee stop.

Camera is another easy win. The day includes outdoor scenery, jungle river moments, and Tegallalang terrace photos. If you’re planning to shoot video, consider a waterproof option for rafting time, since you’ll be on the river.

Cash and credit card are useful because entrance tickets are not included in the base price, and you may need to pay additional amounts during the day.

Who Should Book This Ubud Day and Who Might Skip It

This tour is a strong match if you want a single day that covers multiple Bali highlights:

• ATV adventure with the option for tandem or solo riding
• White-water action on the Ayung River
• Tegallalang Rice Terrace photos
• Coffee tasting as a final cultural-food stop

It’s especially good for couples or friends who can ride tandem, share the fun, and avoid extra solo costs.

You might consider skipping if you:

• don’t like getting wet (rafting is part of the deal)
• prefer a slower pace with longer time at one site
• hate long activity sequences with showers and meals scheduled between stops

Should You Book This Ubud ATV, Gorilla Face, and Rafting Day?

I’d book it if you want an outdoors-heavy day that feels organized: ATV, rafting, terrace, coffee, lunch, and showers—handled as one package.

Two extra reasons to feel confident: the guide experience comes through strongly in reviews, and the combo format is often better value than trying to stitch together separate tours and transportation on your own.

Just go in with eyes open about costs beyond the base price. Entrance tickets for ATV, rafting, and the rice terrace are separate, and solo travelers should plan for the 300k supplement if you want to drive your own quad.
