Bali River Tubing and ATV Ride Packages : Best Quad Bike Trip
Book on Viator →Operated by Bali ATV Ride · Bookable on Viator
Bali off the beach is the whole point here. This combo packs river tubing with an ATV ride through rice fields and jungle scenery, so you see more than just one side of the island in a day. You get two sets of guides and clear safety instruction, which matters when you’re mixing water time and off-road time.
I especially like the structure: 1.5 hours on the river plus a 2-hour quad ride, with lunch in between so you’re not scrambling for food or energy. I also like the practical extras—boot shoes, lockers, towels, and even a shower/changing setup—so you can get from wet to decent without hunting around.
One consideration: it’s a full outdoor day (about 6–8 hours), so if you hate getting muddy/wet or you’re sensitive to physical effort, you’ll want to plan your expectations and pack a backup change of clothes.

Key Points to Know Before You Go
- 10 km river route with Class II+ rapids: enough time to feel like tubing, not a quick splash-and-go
- Safety briefing before the quad: you’ll get guidance before you hit rice terraces, bamboo, tunnels, and more
- Lunch is included: you won’t lose hours looking for food after the water section
- Pickup/drop-off across South Bali (including Seminyak): less time coordinating rides on your own
- Gear and facilities included: lockers, towels, boot shoes, and shower/changing room
- Private group setup: it’s just your group, not a mixed crowd shuffle
A Full-Day Combo in Seminyak That Mixes Water and Off-Road

This package is built for people who don’t want a single-activity day. You get a guided river tubing segment in the Bali countryside, then an ATV/quad ride that takes you through rice terraces and jungle paths. It’s a good fit for active travelers who still like clear instructions and basic comfort like lunch and hotel pickup.
Timing-wise, it runs about 6 to 8 hours from pickup to drop-off, which is long but efficient. The actual on-activity time is shorter—about 1.5 hours tubing and 2 hours ATV—so the rest of the day is travel and transition time between locations. If you’re the type who likes to maximize daylight without cramming, this is one of the better combo formats.
Price is $110 per person, and the value comes from more than just two tickets. You’re paying for the combination of professional guidance, equipment, insurance coverage, and included meal support, plus air-conditioned transport. It’s also noted as booking well in advance (about 43 days), which usually means it’s popular—and it also means you should lock in your dates early if your Bali trip is fixed.

River Tubing on the Ayung/Pakerisan Route: About 10 km of Class II+ Fun

The river part is the heart of the “see Bali away from the beach” promise. The route you’ll tube covers about 10 km with Class II + rapids, and the itinerary frames it as a stretch that’s long enough to feel like a real outing. You’re not just drifting for a few minutes—this is more active than that, especially if the current has a bit of punch.
One detail to keep in mind: the description references Bali tubing on the Ayung River, while the included section calls out tubing on the Pakerisan River. Either way, you’re getting countryside Bali river time with rapids and guides who know the route. The safer takeaway for you is the measurable bits: you’re on the water for about 1.5 hours, and the plan includes rapids up to Class II+.
What I like about this setup for most visitors is that it balances adventure with structure. You’ll have a professional tubing guide and safety-approved equipment, plus lockers and changing facilities. That last part matters more than people think—after tubing, you’ll want to rinse, dry, and change before the ATV portion so you’re not riding in discomfort.
Practical reality check: tubing means you’ll likely get wet. Even with the gear, you should pack sunscreen, a camera you can protect, and a change of clothes as requested. If you’re going straight from tubing to quad riding without fresh clothes, you’ll feel it.
The ATV Ride Through Rice Terraces, Bamboo, Tunnels, and Jungle Paths

After the river, the quad portion shifts the day from flowing water to engines and dirt trails. The ATV segment is described as 2 hours with instruction and a full safety briefing before riding. That’s key, especially if you’re not experienced—off-road riding changes fast once you’re on uneven ground.
The ride route is laid out like a highlights reel: you’ll go through rice terrace areas, tunnels, bamboo forest, jungle surroundings, river crossings, and villages, with panoramic viewpoints along the way. The tour also notes you may ride through more technical terrain depending on what you want from the experience, including slopes that feel challenging and ascents back uphill.
For value and enjoyment, what you’re really buying here is instructor time. Your instructor guides you through the terrain, and you’re not left figuring out a machine alone. That’s especially reassuring if you’re traveling as a couple or family group and want the same level of safety and confidence for everyone.
Two important age notes for the ATV:
- Minimum age for ATV single ride is 12 years.
- For ATV tandem ride, children age 11 must be accompanied by an adult, and tandem bookings must be made in multiples of 2 (like 2, 4, 6, and so on).
If your group includes kids or teens, plan your ride type early. It’s one of those details that can change the logistics fast if you wait until the last minute.
How Pickup, Lunch, and Transitions Make or Break the Day

The package includes air-conditioned vehicle transport and pickup/drop-off from a long list of areas around South Bali. From Seminyak, that’s straightforward, but it also includes places like Ubud, Sanur, Denpasar, Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua, Pecatu, Tuban, Kuta, Legian, Kerobokan, Canggu, and Jimbaran. This matters because a good chunk of Bali sightseeing struggles with timing and ride coordination. Here, transport is built into the experience.
Lunch is included as a set menu. In a combo like this, lunch timing can make the difference between a fun day and a cranky one. You’ll get that refueling window between the river and the quad, which means you’re less likely to feel drained mid-day. If you’re vegetarian, there’s an option—just advise at booking.
Dress code is listed as smart casual, which sounds vague until you factor in the activities. Plan for water and dirt. I’d treat smart casual as “no fancy shoes” and “wear something you don’t mind getting messed up.” You’ll also bring a change of clothes, and the included boot shoes help reduce the damage to your own footwear.
Expect the day to be a real schedule, not a slow wander. The benefit is that you’ll see two very different sides of Bali—river scenery and off-road countryside—without spending your day fighting logistics.
Gear, Safety Gear You’ll Actually Use, and What to Bring

Included gear and facilities are a big part of why this combo feels visitor-friendly. You get well-maintained bikes, boot shoes, lockers, towels, and a shower/changing room setup. That means you’re not just paying for thrills—you’re paying for the parts that help you feel comfortable afterward.
Safety gear is described as safety approved equipment, and there’s a professional guide for tubing plus an instructor for the ATV. The ATV portion specifically includes a full safety briefing before you ride through the trails and terrain. This is where you’ll learn handling basics and what the route may demand.
What you should bring is clearly spelled out:
- Sunscreen
- Camera
- Change of clothes
I’d also add one practical mindset: treat this like a messy outdoor day. Even if the guide provides equipment, you’re still dealing with water spray and dirt. If you bring electronics, you’ll want protection.

What Your Group Day Looks Like (Private Group, Real Instruction)

This is listed as a private tour/activity, meaning it’s just your group. That can be a comfort factor if you’re traveling with friends, family, or a mixed-skill group. You won’t have the feeling of waiting around for strangers who are moving slower, or dealing with constant group reshuffles.
The tour also mentions group discounts, plus the option of a mobile ticket. In practice, it helps if you’re trying to manage a booking for more than one person without extra friction.
One detail worth highlighting: the river tubing description calls out that the route uses Class II + rapids and is suitable for guests between 11 and 50 years old. The overall adventure has broader bounds—minimum age 5 and maximum age 60—but the tubing age range suggests you’ll want to match your group members to the activity level. If someone in your party is right at the edge of those age ranges, it’s smart to confirm at booking so the day goes smoothly.
Price and Value: Why $110 Can Work for a Real Combo Day
At $110 per person, you might compare this to separate half-days. Here’s the value logic: combo tours often get cheaper by bundling transport and staff logistics, but only when they don’t cut corners on safety or time.
This one includes:
- Professional tubing guide and ATV instructor
- Tube route time (about 1.5 hours)
- ATV ride time (2 hours)
- Lunch set menu
- Insurance coverage plus tax and services
- Transport by air-conditioned vehicle
- Equipment and facilities (lockers, towels, shower/changing room)
- Safety-approved equipment
That combination is what makes it feel like more than “two activities for one price.” If you were to arrange each item separately, you’d likely pay extra in transport time, ticket coordination, and the lack of one-day flow between the two.
Also, the notes indicate many people book this type of combo around a month ahead. If you’re planning a tight itinerary, booking early can help you avoid the common Bali problem: you want fun activities, but your dates don’t line up with what’s available.
Who Should Book This Bali Quad Bike and River Tubing Combo

This tour suits travelers who want a full, active day without playing tour-coordination chess. I’d point especially toward:
- Couples or small groups who want variety in one day (water + off-road)
- Families with older kids (ATV rules start at age 12 for single ride, with tandem guidance for 11-year-olds)
- People who like instruction and want a guide-led experience rather than DIY
- Active beginners who are willing to follow safety guidance and handle rapids up to Class II+
If you want a calm, laid-back Bali day focused on temples or cafes, this probably isn’t the best match. This is physical, outdoors, and scheduled.
If you’re older (up to 60) or your group includes teenagers, the key is matching ride type and comfort level to the activity notes. The quad portion in particular requires a clear setup for tandem bookings and age requirements.
Common Considerations So You’re Not Surprised
Even the best combo tours have a few “heads up” items:
- Expect the day to run 6–8 hours total, not just a short excursion.
- You’ll need to handle wet conditions from tubing and then shift into riding.
- The tubing and ATV have age constraints, and tandem ATV has booking rules (multiples of 2).
- The ride is set up around instruction and safety, not random free-roam. If you want full autonomy, you may find the guided structure limiting.
The good news: the included lockers, towels, shower/changing room, and lunch all reduce the friction that usually comes with messy outdoor days.
Should You Book This Bali River Tubing and ATV Trip?
If your goal is a one-day hit of Bali countryside away from the beach—plus hands-on adventure—this is a strong option. I’d book it if you want:
- A real river stretch (about 10 km and 1.5 hours on the water)
- A full quad ride block (about 2 hours) with an instructor-led route
- Transport, lunch, and facilities handled for you
I’d skip or reconsider if anyone in your group is uncomfortable with getting wet/muddy, or if your schedule can’t spare a full 6–8 hours. Also, if your group has younger kids, double-check ATV age rules and whether you’re planning single vs tandem so the day stays smooth.
