The Itinerary: From Action to Serenity
The tour begins with a hotel pickup, which is simple and convenient. The schedule includes a 1.5-hour ATV ride at DADI BALI ADVENTURES. Reviewers often mention that the quad biking is “a perfect mix of fun and challenge,” with some noting it’s suitable for beginners but still exciting for seasoned riders. The professional guide is praised for being attentive, making sure everyone is comfortable and safe.
After the adrenaline rush, you head to the Mount Batur area. Here, you get a guided tour of the volcano and its surroundings. While the volcanic activity isn’t the focus, the views of the landscape are impressive, especially with the lush greenery and the crater’s vastness. This part of the tour is a brief but enriching experience that adds a touch of geology and local lore.
Next, you’ll visit the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, often highlighted for its beautifully terraced fields that show off Bali’s centuries-old farming techniques. Here, you can stroll along the narrow paths, marvel at the green waves of rice paddies, and even try the famous swing ride—a popular photo op that offers a dramatic view over the terraces. Reviewers frequently mention how photo enthusiasts love this spot for its postcard-perfect scenery.
The day wraps up with a visit to a local coffee plantation, where you’ll learn about traditional coffee-making, including the famous Luwak coffee. Tasting the fresh brews and learning about Bali’s coffee culture makes this stop both educational and flavorful. It’s a calming contrast to the earlier adrenaline, and many appreciate the authentic insight into local agricultural practices.
Finally, a lunch at the ATV spot offers a satisfying meal, often praised for being tasty and filling. Afterward, you’ll be taken back to your hotel, feeling both energized and enriched.
What’s Included and What’s Not
The tour’s pricing of $70 per person is quite reasonable considering the full day of activities. Everything from private hotel pickup, drop-off, high-quality safety equipment, insurance, and entrance fees are included. The lunch at the ATV site and the shower facilities after the ride add comfort to what could otherwise be a dusty, muddy adventure.
You’ll want to bring comfortable shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a change of clothes—especially if you’re prone to getting muddy. It’s advisable to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes for safety during the ATV ride. Personal expenses, such as souvenirs or extra beverages, aren’t included, so it’s wise to carry some cash.
Practicalities and Considerations
The small group size—limited to 6—means you’ll get more personalized attention from guides, which many reviewers find enhances the experience. The tour involves a moderate level of activity, including riding an ATV and walking around uneven terrain. It’s not suitable for pregnant travelers, those with back problems, or people with altitude sickness.
Start times vary, so check availability and be punctual for pickup. The guides speak English, making it easy for international travelers to follow instructions and learn about the sights.
