Fun Day Out Combo of White Water Rafting and ATV Ride

The main appeal here is simple: you get two very different Bali adventures in one day. First comes a two-hour run on the Ayung River, then a two-hour ATV ride through the countryside, with lunch and transport tying it together. It is an active day without the hassle of arranging separate operators.

I like the private hotel pickup and drop-off, especially since the drive can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. I also like the mild rafting, which makes the outing suitable for families with children aged 10 and up. The main caution is the ATV equipment: one family found the bikes fun but in need of maintenance, so I would inspect your quad before setting off.

Key points to know before booking

• Two full activities in one day: Plan on about two hours of rafting and two hours of ATV riding.
• Ayung River rafting is fairly gentle: It can suit children, though you still need to be comfortable getting wet.
• Private hotel transport is included: Drive times range from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on your hotel.
• ATV riding can be solo or tandem: Solo means one quad per person; tandem means two people share one quad.
• Bring a complete change of clothes: You will get wet during rafting and dirty on the ATV route.
• Small group size: The activity has a maximum of 15 people, with helmets, special boots, showers, lunch, and insurance included.

One day, two kinds of Bali adventure

At $69 per person, this is a useful package for anyone who wants an active day without building the schedule piece by piece. You get hotel transport, two paid activities, an Indonesian buffet lunch, safety equipment, changing facilities, and insurance in one booking.

The value depends on how much you use the day. If you would otherwise pay separately for transport, rafting, an ATV ride, lunch, and equipment, the price is sensible. It is less appealing if you want a quiet day or prefer to explore Ubud at your own pace. This is an organized outing with a fixed structure, not a flexible private sightseeing trip.

The full experience lasts about eight hours. That sounds long, but the day includes driving, changing, safety preparation, the two activities, and lunch. You should treat it as a full-day commitment rather than four straight hours of riding.

The group limit is 15 people. That is small enough to keep the day manageable, though the rafting and ATV portions may still involve other people beyond your hotel pickup group. Your transport is private, but the activity itself should not be confused with a fully private tour.

The morning pickup and drive to Pertiwi village

Your driver collects you from your hotel lobby at the departure time you choose. The company uses an air-conditioned vehicle and provides private pickup and drop-off, which is a real advantage in Bali, where road traffic can make short distances surprisingly slow.

The drive to Pertiwi village usually takes about 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. The range depends on where you stay. A hotel near the activity site will have a much easier morning than one farther away, so keep the stated travel time in mind when planning breakfast and other evening plans.

The activity starts at Bali Pertiwi Adventure, at Jl. Dewi Saraswati No. 2, Bongkasa Pertiwi, Abiansemal, Badung, Bali 80352. If you are arranging your own arrival, that is the listed meeting point. With hotel pickup, you should simply be ready in the lobby.

I like the fact that you do not need to find a taxi after getting wet and muddy. At the end, the activity returns to the meeting point, and the included drop-off takes you back to your hotel. Confirm your hotel details when booking, since the pickup plan depends on your location.

Two hours on the Ayung River

The rafting section is the softer half of the adventure. It lasts about two hours on the Ayung River, one of the key rafting rivers around Ubud. The setting is described as beautiful, but you should picture a river outing rather than a white-knuckle test.

That distinction matters. One family found the rafting mild enough for children, which makes this package a better fit for mixed-age groups than a tour built around hard rapids. You still need to be happy with water, movement, and getting wet. The minimum age is 10, and an instructor can supervise children who need extra help.

The rafting is also a good way to break up the day. You are not sitting on an ATV for four hours, and you are not spending the entire morning in a vehicle. The river gives you a change of pace before the noisier, more physical quad-bike section.

You should expect safety equipment and instruction as part of the activity, though the supplied details do not describe the precise route, rapids, or boat size. Keep your expectations practical: this package is aimed at fun and broad participation, not expert white-water sport.

Wear clothing that can get soaked. You will need dry clothes afterward, and the outfit you bring should be easy to change into. Free changing rooms and showers are included, so you do not have to remain wet for the rest of the day.

Lunch and a useful break between activities

An Indonesian buffet lunch is included. That adds value because you are spending most of the day away from your hotel, and you do not need to arrange a separate meal between the activities.

The menu is not specified, so do not book this expecting a particular dish or dietary setup. If you have special food needs, ask the operator before the day of the tour. Alcohol is not included, and additional drinks are also outside the package.

Lunch is more than a meal here. It gives you a chance to change, shower, dry off, and reset before the ATV ride. Since the two activities both involve physical effort, this pause should make the day feel less rushed.

Do not count on photographs being included. Photos and souvenirs are available for purchase, but they cost extra. If you want pictures, decide in advance how much you are willing to spend rather than treating the photo desk as part of the $69 price.

Two hours on an ATV through Bali’s countryside

The ATV section brings a different kind of fun. You spend about two hours riding through Bali scenery, with a helmet and special boots supplied. The route is described as passing through beautiful countryside, but exact stops and terrain are not provided, so I would not assume a particular waterfall, village, tunnel, or rice-field route.

You have two riding arrangements:

• Solo: Each person has one quad bike.
• Tandem: Two people share one quad bike, with one rider and a partner.

Tandem bookings must be made in even numbers: two, four, six, or eight people. If your party has an odd number and someone has no partner, an extra charge may be collected at the ATV starting point. This is an easy detail to miss, so settle the riding arrangement before booking.

The ATV ride is likely to be the more exciting part for many people, but it is also where you should pay close attention to the equipment. A family found the bikes enjoyable but noted that they needed maintenance. That does not mean your quad will be unsafe or unusable, but it is sensible to check the controls, tires, and general condition before leaving the start area. Tell the instructor at once if something feels wrong.

You do not need to bring a helmet or riding boots. Both are supplied. You should still bring clothes and shoes you do not mind getting dirty. The special boots help, but they do not keep the rest of your outfit clean.

The ATV ride is not a sightseeing drive where you simply sit back and look around. You will be operating or sharing a quad, following the instructor, and dealing with dirt and uneven ground. If you have never ridden an ATV, use the safety briefing to ask questions before setting out.

The human touch, including driver Rian

The strongest personal detail from the available feedback is the mention of Rian, a driver who made a family’s day especially enjoyable. That tells you the transport is not just a transfer between hotel and activity site. A friendly driver can make a long Bali road journey much easier, particularly when traffic stretches the ride.

The operator is Bali Two Brothers Tour. The package includes an instructor for the activities, with extra supervision available for children when needed. Specific guide names beyond Rian are not provided, so I would not expect to select a particular instructor in advance.

The service also received praise for friendly guidance and a smooth overall day. That fits the package’s main strength: someone else handles the driving, activity changes, equipment, and return trip while you concentrate on having fun.

Still, keep the distinction clear. Good service cannot guarantee perfect equipment or ideal weather. Check your ATV, listen carefully to the safety instructions, and let the staff know if you need help.

Who will enjoy this best

I would recommend this day to families and friends who want variety. The minimum age is 10, the rafting is described as mild, and the two activities let different personalities find something to enjoy. One person may prefer the river while another prefers the ATV.

It also suits first-time visitors who want a packaged adventure near Ubud. Hotel transport removes the need to arrange two separate excursions, and the included lunch, gear, insurance, and showers keep extra planning to a minimum.

This is less suitable for anyone seeking intense white-water rafting. The river section is gentle enough for children, so experienced rafters may find it tame.

It is also not the right pick if you dislike mud, wet clothes, shared activity groups, or a long day on the road. The experience is active and practical, but it is not polished luxury. You will spend time changing, waiting, driving, and dealing with ordinary outdoor conditions.

What to pack and what to check

Bring extra clothes, as the operator specifically warns that you will get wet and dirty. Pack a towel if you prefer to use your own, though shower facilities are available. Keep valuables to a minimum, since the package does not promise secure storage.

A swimsuit or quick-drying outfit works well for the river, followed by clothes you can move in for the ATV. Avoid anything you would be upset to stain. You should also consider sun protection, though the supplied information does not specify what shade or shelter is available along the route.

Before the ATV ride, confirm whether you are booked for solo or tandem riding. If your group has an odd number and wants tandem vehicles, ask about the possible extra fee at the start point.

Photos and souvenirs are optional purchases. Alcohol and other additional drinks are not included, so bring or budget for anything you may want beyond the buffet lunch, subject to the operator’s rules.

Booking, weather, and cancellation

Confirmation is provided at the time of booking, and the activity can be booked with a mobile ticket. Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time.

If you cancel less than 24 hours before the start, you lose the amount paid. Changes made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted. The same cutoff applies to the local time at the destination, so check the timing carefully if you are booking from another country.

The activity requires good weather. If poor weather causes cancellation, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. This is useful for an outdoor day, but it also means you should avoid placing the tour on the final morning of your Bali trip if the schedule is tight.

Should you book this Ubud combo?

Book it if you want a convenient, family-friendly adventure day with both water and motorized action. The $69 price is reasonable once you count private hotel transport, lunch, equipment, showers, insurance, and four hours of activities. The mild rafting, small maximum group size, and helpful service, including the praised driver Rian, add to its appeal.

Think twice if your priority is serious rapids, high-end equipment, or a quiet day. The rafting may feel gentle, and the ATV bikes deserve a careful check before riding. For most people, though, this is a practical way to add two active Bali experiences without spending the day managing separate bookings.
