CRETYA UBUD Infinity Pool+ ATV RIDE with Gorilla Cave +lunch.
Book on Viator →Operated by Sai Bali Tours · Bookable on Viator
That first rumble of an ATV feels like instant vacation. You get a 350cc off-road ride on Bali mud-and-jungle trails, then hours to chill at Cretya Infinity Pool with rice-terrace views. It’s basically adrenaline first, then a slow exhale.
I love how the day mixes two different sides of Ubud: loud, messy fun on the ATV and then a calm, scenic pool break. I also like the included extras at Cretya, especially the one complimentary drink plus a Balinese coffee tasting that doesn’t feel like a forced sales stop.
One thing to consider: age rules at Cretya are strict (and they affect whether you can swim). If you’re traveling with teens or kids, check the limits before you fall in love with the idea of the pool.

Key highlights I’d plan around

- 350cc ATV power on a top-track style route with tunnels, rivers, villages, and muddy sections
- Cretya Infinity Pool time included, with showers and changing facilities
- Early arrival for calmer pool photos (the schedule is built to avoid the worst crowds)
- Free coffee + herbal tea tasting at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism
- Private-group format with hotel pickup and drop-off
- Safety gear and a guide focused on helping you feel secure on the ride
Ubud ATV plus Cretya pool: why this combo works
This day tour works because it solves a common Ubud problem: you either do activities all day and feel fried, or you sit in cafés and wonder if you missed the fun. Here, the plan flips that. You get a real off-road experience first, then you switch gears into water, shade, and views.
The ATV portion is the main event: a powerful 350cc bike on one of Ubud’s best off-road tracks, with jungle trails, rice fields, rivers, tunnels, and muddy terrain. The trick is that the operator doesn’t leave you hanging after the ride. You get shower and changing facilities, plus pool access that turns the mess into part of the fun.

Cretya Ubud Infinity Pool: views, swim limits, and how to use your time

Cretya Ubud is the star relaxation stop. You’ll get free access to the infinity pool, and the setting is the reason people come: rice-terrace views and a photo-friendly pool scene that feels like you stepped into a postcard, but without the forced “look this way” vibe.
Plan your pool time like a strategy, not just a swim. Since the schedule is set up to help you arrive earlier, you can often enjoy the water with fewer distractions. That means better photos and more calm time to actually enjoy the view.
The important caveat is the swim and entry rules:
- Under 19 years old can’t swim in the Infinity Pool.
- Under 18 years old is not allowed to enter Cretya Ubud (the note says they might still enter Alas Harum Bali to explore around).
So if you’re traveling with anyone under 19, or especially under 18, you’ll want to confirm how the day will be handled for them at Cretya before you book.
The Uma Pakel Agro Tourism stop: free coffee without the long lecture

This is a smaller, easy stop. You’ll spend about 30 minutes at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism, where you can try free coffee tasting and herbal tea.
It’s the kind of stop that fits well between the wet-and-muddy ATV world and the later Cretya hang time. You don’t need to “master” Balinese coffee culture to enjoy it. You just try a few samples and keep moving.
If caffeine isn’t your thing, the herbal tea is there too. Keep it simple: taste what you like, skip what you don’t, and don’t let this stop stretch into your whole day.
Pertiwi Adventure ATV ride: the 350cc track with real conditions

The ATV ride happens at Pertiwi Adventure, and the description is very clear about what kind of day you’re signing up for: challenging sections, forest scenery, tunnels, water fall mentions, muddy tracks, and the sort of route that makes you feel like you’re off the map.
This is where the tour earns its value. A 350cc ATV isn’t just a slow “tourist ride.” You’re driving through changing terrain: rain-forest stretches, watery areas, and muddy sections that will test your balance. The bike time is listed as about 1.5–2 hours, depending on how the day runs.
Safety matters here. You’ll get professional guides and safety equipment, and the experience is designed to feel exciting without feeling reckless. If you’ve never ridden an ATV, this is still a reasonable choice because the guide-led setup is part of the package.
Age notes for the ride:
- Under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult for the ATV ride.
- Under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult (the detail is truncated in the notes you provided, but the accompaniment rule is there).
Also, the tour requires good weather. If conditions are poor, the experience may be canceled and you’ll either be offered another date or a full refund. So don’t book this as your “guaranteed wet-and-wild” plan if your trip window is stormy.
What you actually get included: lunch, water, pool drink, and coffee tasting

The inclusions are the main reason this tour feels straightforward. In your $95-per-person price, you get:
- Lunch
- Bottled water
- Air-conditioned vehicle
- Private transportation
- All tickets and ATV ride
- One free drink at Cretya Ubud
- Hotel pickup and drop-off
- Shower and changing facilities
That list is practical. It means you’re not constantly paying small add-ons just to keep the day moving. The pool day itself is also handled, because you’re not just dropped at a random entrance—you’re set up to shower, change, and then use the pool time properly.
What’s not included is just as important, because it prevents surprise spending:
- Food and drinks at Cretya beyond the included items
- Extra activities like swing, zip line, and sky bike
- Any special event charges at Cretya
So if you want those thrill extras, budget for them. If you’re only after ATV + pool + coffee, your money is mostly contained.

Guides make or break the day: what to expect from the team

The operator Sai Bali Tours pairs you with a guide, and the day seems built around friendly guidance. In the information you provided, guides such as Yan, Komang Budiana, Ketut, and Yan Mudita are specifically mentioned for being on-time, reliable, friendly, and helpful during the full day.
What I like about that pattern is simple: a good guide helps you get the timing right. You’re not just going from point A to B. You’re getting tips for surviving Bali and making decisions during the day.
If you get Yan (or another guide in that group), expect a day that moves with fewer awkward pauses—especially helpful when you’re switching from muddy ATV conditions to pool relaxation mode.
Price and value: is $95 a fair deal here?

At $95 per person, you’re paying for a full-day mix: a 350cc ATV experience, included tickets, lunch, private air-conditioned transport, and the Cretya pool access plus a drink and coffee tasting.
You can often piece together ATV + lunch + transport on your own, but it usually turns into a patchwork of costs: ride fees, separate admission tickets, transfers, and time lost coordinating. Here, the value is that you buy it as a single, planned day.
The one financial wrinkle is for solo travelers:
- Idr 350,000 extra charge for solo participant
- Minimum booking of 2 persons
So if you’re traveling alone, the price effectively climbs. If you’re traveling with a friend or partner, it usually lands closer to what it looks like on the page.
Best fit: who should book this ATV + Infinity Pool day

This is a great match if you want a full Ubud day without committing to a full-day mindset. You get:
- Adrenaline (ATV on a tough track)
- Scenery (rice fields, forest elements, tunnels, muddy terrain)
- Recovery time (Cretya pool, showers, changing space)
- Small cultural add-on (coffee and herbal tea tasting)
It also suits couples and small groups who like photos but don’t want to spend the day only posing. The early pool timing helps a lot.
If you hate getting muddy, this may not be your comfort zone. The route is described as challenging with muddy terrain, and the whole point is that you ride through real conditions, not just a paved track.
If anyone in your group is under 19 (pool swimming) or under 18 (Cretya entry), you’ll need to think ahead about alternatives during the Cretya portion.
How to prepare so you enjoy every part of the day
Even with the included shower and changing facilities, you’ll want to be mentally ready for a wet, messy ATV segment. Bring a practical attitude: you’re going to get dirty on the ride, then you’ll clean up and shift into pool-mode.
A few smart habits:
- Wear something you don’t mind getting muddy, and plan to change after the ATV.
- Bring a cover for your belongings during the wet parts (so you don’t worry all day).
- If you’re sensitive to sudden weather changes, keep an eye on forecast timing since the tour depends on good weather.
Also, the tour uses mobile tickets, and you should receive confirmation at booking. That matters in Bali where plans can shift. Being set up digitally keeps things smoother.
Finally, if your booking name includes Gorilla Cave, don’t assume it’s automatic. The detailed schedule you shared focuses on Cretya, Uma Pakel Agro Tourism, and Pertiwi Adventure. If the cave stop is important to you, confirm it in your confirmation message.
Should you book this Ubud ATV + Cretya Infinity Pool tour?
If you want one day that hits both adrenaline and relaxation, I think this is a strong choice. The tour is built around a real 350cc ATV experience and then a high-payoff cooling-off period at Cretya Infinity Pool, with lunch, transport, shower access, and even a drink and coffee tasting handled for you.
Skip it (or at least double-check) if your group includes anyone under 18 or under 19, since the pool rules and Cretya entry restrictions can change what you can actually do. Also consider it carefully if you’re booking during a weather-uncertain window, because the day depends on good conditions.
If your idea of a great Ubud day is driving through jungle-and-mud chaos, then rinsing off and enjoying rice-terrace views with a cold drink, this one delivers.
