The trip

What You're Signing Up For

The two things most people come to Ubud to do, in the order that works: quad bikes while the track is still cool and the light is good, lunch, then the river in the afternoon when being soaked is welcome rather than miserable.

Doing them on separate days means paying for the car twice. Doing them in the wrong order means driving home wet. This is one long day, one car, and a driver who waits while you are on the water.

Highlights

Why People Pick This One

  • Both activities on one car hire instead of two
  • Two hours on the quads, two hours on the river
  • Lunch between the two, not squeezed in at the end
  • Showers and lockers at both sites
  • Roughly twenty per cent cheaper than booking them apart

Full description

The Whole Thing

Booking these two separately is the most common mistake people make in Ubud, because you end up paying for a car and a driver twice and spending two mornings being collected from your hotel.

Itinerary

The Trip, Stop By Stop

Timings are typical, not fixed. Your guide reshapes the day around your pace and the conditions.

  1. Early hotel pickup

    Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Jimbaran, Sanur, Ubud

    Around 07:00, confirmed by message the evening before. Free from Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Jimbaran, Sanur and Ubud.

    Included

  2. ATV briefing and ride

    Boots and helmet, practice on flat ground, then roughly two hours on the track including the river and the tunnel.

  3. Shower and lunch

    Rinse off and eat properly. This is the halfway point, not a snack.

  4. Ayung rafting

    The walk down into the gorge, then about two hours and twelve kilometres of grade II-III water.

  5. Climb out and change

    Shower, dry clothes, and a drink before the drive.

  6. Back to your hotel

    Same car, same driver, usually back in Ubud by five and the south coast by six.

Before you book

Who This Trip Isn’t For

We would rather talk you out of the wrong trip than take your money for it. If any of these apply, message us and we’ll suggest something that fits better.

Anyone short on time

This is nine to ten hours door to door. If you have half a day, take one of the two.

Small children

Two activities in one day is a lot. We would split it and price them separately.

Anyone with a flight that evening

Do not risk it. The river runs late and Bali traffic does what it likes.

Come prepared

What To Bring

Two changes of dry clothes

Mud in the morning, river water in the afternoon. One spare set is not enough for this day.

Closed shoes with a heel strap

Same pair works for both halves. Flip-flops fail on the quad and float away on the river.

A dry bag or waterproof pouch

Your phone is wet or muddy for most of the day otherwise. The lockers help but you will want it with you.

Cash for the photographers

Both operators shoot the day and sell prints at the finish. They only take cash.

Questions About This Trip

Anything not covered here? Message us. We'd rather answer first than have you book the wrong trip.

Is one day too much for both?

For most adults, no. It is long but the driving between the two is short and lunch is a real break. With young children we would split it.

Which comes first?

Quads in the morning, rafting after lunch. It keeps you dry in the car and puts you on the river at the best time of day.

Do we need two changes of clothes?

One spare set is enough for most people. There are showers at both sites, and you shower again after the river.

Can we swap rafting for something else?

Yes. Quads plus a waterfall route, or quads plus the jungle swing, are both easy to arrange. Message us and we will price it.

What is included?

Both activities, all equipment, guides, lunch, lockers, showers, and the private car and driver for the whole day.
