Full Description
This combo trip pairs two of Ubud's most popular outdoor activities into a single day: an ATV ride through the jungle and a rafting run down the Ayung River.
After a safety briefing and gearing up, riders head out on quad bikes, solo or tandem, along trails that cut through rice paddies, forest, and a stretch known as Gorilla Face Cave. The terrain varies enough to keep the ride interesting without requiring prior ATV experience.
Once the ATV leg wraps up, there's a shower and change break before moving on to the river. The rafting section covers around 2.5 hours on the Ayung, Bali's longest river, passing jungle scenery and waterfalls along the way with a guide steering the raft through the rapids.
The day finishes with a simple lunch, usually fried rice or noodles, back at the base, with dietary needs accommodated if flagged in advance.
Our Review
Two activities in one day at sixteen dollars, which is the reason this combo sells. ATV through paddies and forest including the stretch called Gorilla Face Cave, then roughly two and a half hours rafting the Ayung.
The details that catch people out are physical: a fifteen to twenty minute walk up and down the riverbank, and it runs rain or shine. Bring water shoes or flip-flops for the river leg. If you book tandem ATVs with an odd number of people, someone rides solo and pays an extra on site. There is a shower and change break between the two halves, which is more necessary than it sounds. We would eat properly beforehand, because lunch comes right at the end.
