Ubud ATV ride Adventure and water rafting
Book on Viator →Operated by Bali Experinece · Bookable on Viator
One day, two big Bali thrills: ATV power and volcanic views. This combo is built for people who want Ubud and Kintamani Volcano without spending the whole day on the road. I like that it includes lunch and hotel pickup/drop-off (when offered), and I also like the clear, time-boxed ATV block at Ubud (3 hours). One thing to watch: the details for the water rafting portion are not spelled out here, so you should confirm timing and what’s included before you go.
The plan also reads like a first-timer-friendly route: get transported between dispersed spots, do the activity, eat, then head back. It’s a private setup for your group, but with a minimum of 2 people per booking, so solo travelers may need to coordinate or double-check options. If you’re flexible and you confirm pickup timing in advance, this is the kind of day that helps you see more Bali fast—without trying to navigate on your own.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

- ATV in Ubud runs 3 hours, so this is the main event block, not a quick photo stop.
- Kintamani Volcano is part of the day, making it more than just an adrenaline outing.
- Lunch is included, which matters when your day is already stretched across multiple locations.
- Pickup and drop-off are offered, but your exact start point may still be the Bali Skutis Adventure location.
- Mobile ticket included, so you can travel light and skip printing.
- Private for your group, but the booking needs at least 2 people.
Quick Take: ATV, Rafting, and Kintamani in One Day
If your Bali time is tight, this kind of day plan is practical. You get an ATV adventure base in Ubud, plus time that’s explicitly tied to the Kintamani Volcano area in the same overall outing.
The value angle is simple: instead of hiring separate transport, you’re paying for one coordinated day. That usually means less hassle, fewer “what time do we meet?” messages, and more time doing the fun parts.
The catch is that the title mentions water rafting, but the itinerary details provided here mainly spell out the ATV time. So you should treat rafting as a confirmed part of the overall experience, then verify the exact schedule once you have your booking details.

Price and What $32 Buys You (and Why It Might Be Worth It)

At $32 per person, this sits in the budget-to-mid range for a Bali activity day that combines transport, a guided experience, and lunch. What makes it feel like good value is that you’re not just paying for a ride—you’re also paying for the logistics piece: getting you between dispersed attractions, plus meals.
Lunch included is a surprisingly big deal on Bali adventure days. You’ll be moving, you’ll likely sweat, and you don’t want to waste energy hunting food later.
That said, pay attention to what’s actually included for each component. The ATV admission is described as free in the provided info, but the rafting portion isn’t detailed. Before you commit, check that you’re covered for the raft session, safety gear, and any entrance fees, not just the ride itself.
Getting Started in Ubud: Bali Skutis Adventure as Your Anchor Point

Your start point is listed as Bali Skutis Adventure, located at Jalan Raya Silakarang, Singapadu Kaler, Kec. Sukawati, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571. The activity ends back at the meeting point, which helps reduce the confusion about where the day finishes.
Pickup is also offered, and that’s a big plus if your hotel is farther from the main road. But since the meeting point is clearly named, I’d recommend you confirm whether your group is being collected from your hotel or if you need to make it to Bali Skutis Adventure on your own.
One practical note: the meeting point is described as near public transportation. That’s comforting if you end up navigating the first leg yourself, or if you’re meeting friends.
ATV Ride in Ubud: How the 3-Hour Block Shapes Your Whole Day
The Ubud portion is straightforward: you get an ATV adventure ride that’s listed as 3 hours. That time box matters because it determines how much energy you’ll have for the rest of the day, including travel and any other stops.
A 3-hour ATV session usually means you’re not just doing a single trail loop. In practice, it tends to include time for briefing, gear guidance, riding time, and then regrouping. Even if you’re there for speed and mud, plan your day so you can actually enjoy the full stretch.
What I like about having ATV set as the anchor stop is that it makes the rest of the schedule feel more realistic. A day trip that includes volcano viewpoints works best when the adventure time is predictable.
Still, consider your comfort level. ATVs can be bumpy and physical, and you’ll want clothing that can get dirty and dry quickly afterward. The info says most travelers can participate, but “most” is not “all,” so if you have any mobility concerns, it’s worth asking your operator what the ride involves.
Kintamani Volcano Stop: The Reason This Day Isn’t Just for Adrenaline
This experience is built around “Ubud and the Kintamani Volcano.” Even if your main motivation is the ATV, this volcano link is what turns the day into a proper sightseeing-and-activity combo.
Kintamani is known for big viewpoint moments, and that’s usually what makes the drive worth it. You’re trading a boring day of errands for a sequence of experiences: ride hard, then shift gears to scenery and food.
Because the provided details don’t list each exact Kintamani stop or the time spent there, treat the volcano portion as a timed add-on. The good news is that your route is designed for travelers who want structure: you won’t be stuck planning the transport between Ubud-style adventures and a highland viewpoint yourself.
If you’re the type who loves photos, this is where you’ll likely use your best timing. Dress in layers, since higher areas can feel cooler than Ubud’s lower elevations.
Water Rafting Part: What’s in the Name, and What to Confirm

The experience title includes water rafting, but the supplied itinerary details only spell out the ATV stop. That doesn’t mean rafting is missing—it likely means the schedule specifics weren’t included in what you received.
Before you book (or right after you book), message the provider with three clear questions:
- What time is rafting scheduled relative to the ATV?
- Is lunch taken before or after rafting?
- What’s included: guide, safety briefing, and required equipment?
This matters because rafting changes the nature of the day. If rafting happens before ATV, you might want to plan for staying dry on the ride transfer. If it happens after, you’ll likely want to have your most comfortable cleanup plan ready for getting back in the car.
Also, rafting intensity varies a lot by river and grade. Since no grade or duration is provided here, don’t assume it’s a quick splash. Get the basics in writing so the day matches your expectations.
Lunch, Transport, and the Pace That Helps You See More

The overview calls out included lunch and hotel pickup and drop-off. That combination is exactly what makes a multi-stop day work for busy travelers.
When lunch is included, you don’t have to constantly check opening hours, avoid long lines, or bargain for a “good enough” meal between activities. You can focus on enjoying the ride and the scenery.
Pickup/drop-off also reduces friction. Without it, you’d have to coordinate local transport and risk losing time to traffic and parking. Here, the intention is clear: you get driven, you do activities, you get returned.
A small detail to keep in mind: the itinerary also states the activity ends back at the meeting point. That usually means you return to the start area, which can still line up with hotel drop-off depending on your pickup arrangement. The best move is to confirm where the final drop happens for your specific booking.
Private Group Setup: Nice for Friends, Handy for Families
This is described as private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That’s a big advantage if you don’t want to share your schedule with strangers, or if you’re traveling with friends or family and want a calmer pace.
At the same time, the listing requires a minimum of 2 people per booking. So if you’re traveling solo, you may need to check whether there’s a way to pair you up with another solo traveler, or whether the operator will only run it once your booking meets the minimum.
Group discounts are mentioned, so it may be cheaper per person when you book with more people. If you’re comparing options, look at the per-person total, not the headline price.
Small Things That Can Make or Break the Day
One frustration that can happen on Bali adventure days is simple miscommunication—like a late pickup or the guide arriving without the right info. The experience information here includes pickup offered and mobile ticketing, but that still doesn’t guarantee the real-world day runs perfectly without a reminder.
Here’s how I’d protect your schedule:
- Confirm your pickup time the day before (not just when you book).
- Have your WhatsApp-ready phone number for the day of the tour.
- Ask what happens if a planned option can’t run due to local closures or timing.
Also, the overview notes that this is designed for limited time and avoids the stress of navigation. That’s great—just remember that the trade-off is you’re trusting someone else’s timing. Give yourself a buffer with your wider Bali plan so you’re not trying to catch flights or tight dinner reservations right after.
The rating provided overall is strong, but even a well-run adventure day can have hiccups. Your best insurance is confirming details and being ready with flexible timing.
Who This Tour Suits Best (and Who Should Reconsider)
This is a good fit if you:
- Want Ubud ATV action without handling route planning.
- Have limited time and still want a Kintamani Volcano view stop.
- Prefer pickup, lunch, and a set day structure over DIY logistics.
- Like the idea of a private setup for your own group.
You might reconsider if:
- You need rafting details clarified for medical or ability reasons.
- You’re the type who hates schedule changes and wants a perfectly predictable timetable.
- You’re traveling solo and don’t want to wait for a minimum of 2 people to activate your booking.
If you’re comfortable getting a bit muddy, wearing layers, and rolling with the realities of a day that mixes transport plus outdoor activities, you’ll likely enjoy the pace.
Should You Book This Ubud ATV And Kintamani Day?
I’d book it if your priority is getting a packed, structured day that covers Ubud adventure and Kintamani Volcano without the planning headache. At $32, with lunch and pickup/drop-off mentioned, it’s priced like a smart “make the most of my day” option.
I’d hold off—or at least ask follow-up questions—if rafting specifics matter to you. Since the ATV timing is clear (3 hours) but rafting details aren’t, your decision should hinge on confirmation of rafting duration, gear, and exact timing in the day flow.
If you want a fast Bali highlight day with less stress and you can handle outdoor logistics, this is a solid choice.
