Bali can give you two different kinds of thrill in one day. Here you get Ayung River rafting followed by ATV quad biking, with Ubud scenery between the splashes. It is a full outing that feels like you packed a mini vacation inside your vacation.

I love that the day is built around real time on the water and on the trails, not just a lot of waiting around. I also like the private setup and the helpful guide vibe, including reports of pickup and driving between stops with guides such as Erli.

The one possible drawback is simple: it is an 8-hour day. If you want a slow, low-key Bali afternoon, this can feel like back-to-back adrenaline.

Key things I’d plan around

• Two activities, one day: rafting on the river, then ATV riding on trails and rural roads
• Pickup and drop-off included: the tour covers hotel transfer, which matters in Ubud traffic
• Private, guided experience: you get a tailored day for your group, not a generic scramble
• Scenery focus during ATV time: rice fields, villages, rivers, forests, and sometimes waterfall views
• First-timer friendly guidance: safety briefings and coaching help if you are new to ATVs
• Fuel included: a lunch buffet plus mineral water keeps the second half from dragging

Why Ubud’s rafting plus ATV combo makes sense

In Ubud, you can burn a lot of energy in a small area. This combo is popular because it hits two types of fun that usually do not overlap: wet-and-wild river time, then dry-land speed through countryside.

The Ayung River rafting portion is the one that resets your brain. You get lush greenery around you, plus the real feel of rapids, not a staged photo stop. Then the ATV portion switches you to a different rhythm, slower at turns, faster when the trail opens up, with off-road sections plus village and rice field scenery in between.

I also think the pacing is the big reason this works. You do the water first while you are already geared up for it, then you move into ATV time after lunch and a chance to freshen up. That order usually saves you from spending half the day feeling sticky and rushed.

The flow of the day: from pickup to both adventures

This tour is set up as a single-day package that starts in the Ubud area, with the meeting point listed at Gorilla ATV Adventure on Jl. Raya Payangan No.199, Puhu, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80572, Indonesia. The activity ends back at the meeting point.

One practical advantage is that pickup and drop-off are included. If you have ever tried to manage multiple stops around Ubud solo, you know it can turn into time math and stress. Here, you can plan to be picked up, then let the guide move you between rafting and ATV locations.

The general rhythm is straightforward:

• you arrive for rafting, get a safety briefing, and get equipped
• you raft, then you change and freshen up
• you grab lunch at a local restaurant with a lunch buffet
• you head out for ATV ride time, with another safety briefing and instructions
• the day wraps up back at the starting meeting point

From the reviews, the guides tend to be social and present, including one mention of Erli driving the group between each place and making the experience feel smooth and personal. That kind of day-to-day attention matters, especially when you are switching between activities.

Ubud Water Rafting: safety briefing, gear, then the rapids

The water portion begins with arrival at the Ubud rafting location. You get a safety briefing and equipped with the necessary gear. The exact gear list is not detailed here, but the tour does specify all safety equipment for the water rafting and ATV ride, so you are not showing up empty-handed.

Once you are suited up, the experience is built around the Ayung River rapids. Expect lush greenery and scenic views while you navigate the river. Some reviews emphasize that the river feels wide and the scenery is beautiful, and they also describe the fun factor of being in the water and working through the river sections.

Two things I like about the way rafting fits into this day:

1. You get a strong sense of place. Ubud is not just temples and views here. It is river action with greenery all around.
2. The experience naturally forces focus. When you are handling a raft and reacting to the river, you are not distracted by the rest of the day.

A realistic consideration: rafting plus ATV means you should plan for wet conditions and a need to change after. The tour schedule includes time to change and freshen up after rafting, but you will still want to bring a simple mindset: you are going to get splashed, then get ready again for the ATV.

Lunch buffet in Ubud: where your energy gets rebuilt

After rafting, the tour includes a lunch break at a local restaurant with a lunch buffet, plus mineral water. This is not just a pause to sit down. It is the bridge that makes the ATV portion enjoyable instead of exhausting.

Lunch in this plan matters for two reasons:

• it gives you a chance to recover from the physical effort of rafting
• it helps you avoid that common second-activity slump where people get cranky and tired

The menu specifics are not provided, so I would treat this as a standard Balinese restaurant buffet experience. Expect traditional Balinese cuisine as part of the lunch stop. You also get time to relax before the ATV begins.

Tip if you have a sensitive stomach: after getting wet and active, eat something that feels safe for you and drink the water provided. Then you can focus on the ride without worrying about energy crashes.

ATV quad biking around rice fields, villages, and waterfalls

After lunch, you start the ATV ride in the Ubud area. Again, there is a safety briefing and instructions on operating the ATV. That is key, especially if it is your first time. One review specifically highlights nerves on a first ATV experience, then says the guide was professional, friendly, and guided them through it. That is exactly what you want to hear before hopping onto a quad.

The ATV route is described as taking you through off-road trails, rice fields, and local villages. Reviews add extra texture, mentioning routes through rivers, forests, and even waterfall scenery. So while you should not assume every ride has the same waterfall moments, you can reasonably expect countryside variety and plenty of photo-worthy sections.

Here is what the ATV does well as a second act:

• it shifts from water force to trail control
• you move through slower, rural scenery instead of only scenic overlooks
• you get that sense of getting off the main road and into everyday Balinese surroundings

One possible consideration from the reviews is that the ATV can feel more challenging than expected, even if you are excited to try. That does not mean it is unsafe or inaccessible, but it suggests you should take the safety briefing seriously and be ready for some bumpy sections.

Guides and the private-tour feel with Batour Net Bali

This is listed as a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That sounds like a marketing line, but it actually affects the experience in a practical way. Instead of being one voice in a large group, your guide can adjust pace and keep an eye on your comfort level, especially during transitions between rafting and ATV.

The guide quality shows up in the feedback. One review mentions Erli by name, saying he picked them up and drove them to each place, with brilliant service and good company. Others mention friendly, professional guidance that helped first-timers feel comfortable and safe.

I also like that the tour is described as tailored to your interests. The exact tailoring details are not spelled out, but the concept usually means the guide is not rushing you through a scripted checklist. If you care about photos, scenery, or just taking it at your pace, this kind of private guiding tends to support that.

Price and value: what $31.57 gets you for an all-day combo

At $31.57 per person, this is priced like a budget-friendly way to pack two major activities into one day. The value improves because the package includes a lot of the usual extras:

• pickup and drop-off
• rafting and ATV safety equipment
• mineral water
• tickets
• a lunch buffet

When a combo includes transport and a meal, the real cost is not just the ticket price. It is also the savings in hassle and time you would otherwise spend coordinating separate tours.

Now, a balanced note. The price point can also mean you should be flexible about the style of the day. You might not expect the most staged or luxury-level feel. The reviews are heavy on fun, scenery, and guidance, which suggests the focus is action and getting you moving, not adding lots of extra frills.

My take: if you want a high-adrenaline day without paying premium rates for separate bookings, this looks like strong value in the Ubud area.

What to bring so rafting and ATV feel fun, not miserable

The tour provides safety equipment, mineral water, and lunch, but you still need to think about your own comfort since you will do both water and off-road riding.

Here is a practical packing mindset:

• Expect getting wet. Bring gear you do not mind being damp after rafting.
• Plan for mud and friction. ATV trails can mean dust and grime, especially in rural sections.
• Wear footwear that works off-road. Open sandals can be a hassle on bumpy ground.
• Bring a small dry bag or sealed pouch for phone and essentials. Even if you are careful, you will be moving.
• Bring a change of clothes for after rafting. The tour includes time to change and freshen up, but having your own clean shirt and bottoms makes that moment much more pleasant.
• Sun protection helps. Ubud days can get bright, and ATV time is outdoors for long stretches.

If you are sensitive to motion or effort, hydrate and eat well at lunch. The tour is roughly 8 hours, so your body will thank you for treating it like a full-day activity.

Who should book this ATV and rafting combo, and who might skip it

This tour is a good fit if:

• you want a thrill-heavy day with both water and land action
• you like scenery while you are moving, not only sightseeing from a car
• you are okay with an active schedule and want to make Ubud feel like an adventure base

It is especially promising for first-timers because the experience includes safety briefings for both activities, and reviews mention guides who helped nervous riders feel confident.

You might consider a different plan if:

• you want a relaxed, slow day focused only on temples and cafés
• you are not comfortable with wet conditions and the idea of switching outfits mid-day
• you prefer one activity over a mixed schedule, since this does not give you a lot of downtime

Also, note the tour description says near public transportation and that most travelers can participate. It does not specify age limits or medical restrictions here, so if you have mobility concerns, you should ask before booking.

Should you book the Bali Adventure Combo with Batour Net Bali?

I would book it if you want one of the more efficient Ubud days: raft the Ayung River, then ride an ATV through countryside scenes, rice fields, and village roads, with a lunch buffet and pickup taken care of. The big wins are the action, the scenery variety, and the guided support that helps first-timers feel at ease. Reports highlighting guide friendliness, including Erli, make me trust the logistics more than a purely self-directed adventure.

I would hesitate if your dream Bali day is calm and slow. This is an all-day combo, roughly 8 hours, and the ATV ride can feel more challenging than expected. If you are chasing adrenaline, that is a plus. If you are not, pick a softer day.

If you do book, go in with the right mindset: get ready to get wet, listen carefully during safety briefings, and enjoy the change of pace between river rapids and off-road trails.
