Planning an active day in Ubud? This tour offers a mix of adrenaline and serenity, combining off-road ATV adventures, white-water rafting, and a peaceful sunset at Cretya.

Whether you’re an adventure lover or just eager to see more of Bali’s countryside, this experience promises a fun-filled day with plenty of authentic moments.
Two things we love about this tour: First, the diverse scenery—ranging from rice paddies to jungle waterfalls—keeps the journey visually exciting.

ATV Adventure: A Closer Look
The quad bike ride takes you through lush rice fields, tropical forests, and villages that showcase Bali’s rural charm. Expect dirt tracks, muddy streams, and some bumpy terrain that will have your adrenaline pumping. We liked the way the guides help you navigate the course safely, but the ride still offers enough thrill to satisfy those craving excitement. The scenery here is particularly striking, with terraced rice paddies providing a vivid green backdrop that’s perfect for photos. As some reviewers mention, the views of Bali’s countryside are a highlight, making the ride not just fun but also visually memorable.
White Water Rafting on the Ayung River
After the ATV, you’ll switch gears and embark on a 2.5-hour white-water rafting experience. The Ayung River is known for its scenic beauty and manageable rapids—ideal whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced rafter. Expect to paddle past waterfalls, jungle-clad cliffs, and carved stone temples along the banks. Many visitors comment on how the rapids are exhilarating but not overwhelming, which makes this suitable for most fitness levels. The guides are professional, providing safety equipment and clear instructions, ensuring everyone feels secure. One review praises the “thrill of navigating the rapids while enjoying Bali’s lush scenery,” which perfectly captures the experience.
Relaxation at Cretya Sunset
The day winds down with a relaxing session at Cretya, where you can unwind and watch the sunset. It’s a peaceful conclusion after a day of adventure, allowing you to reflect on your experiences while enjoying a beautiful Bali sunset.
