Full Day ATV Ride, Monkey Forest,Tegalalang Rice Terrace

The best part of this Ubud day trip is its mix of muddy ATV adventure and classic Bali scenery. You get an adrenaline hit on rough trails, then slow down among macaques, rice terraces, temples, and market stalls without arranging separate transport.

I like the private format, since your group can travel together in an air-conditioned vehicle, and I like the range of stops. The guide names connected with especially warm feedback are Gede and Cokde, both noted for friendly help, explanations, and taking photos. The main drawback is the pace: four substantial stops in about seven hours can leave little room to linger, especially with traffic between Kuta and Ubud.

Key points at a glance

• Ride through rough Bali terrain: The ATV route includes muddy tracks, rugged ground, a waterfall, and scenic rural views.
• Private day out from Kuta: Only your group participates, with private transportation and pickup offered.
• Several major Ubud sights in one day: The schedule combines the ATV center, Monkey Forest, Ubud Art Market, and Tegalalang Rice Terrace.
• Lunch and riding equipment included: Safety gear, an instructor, fees, and taxes are covered in the listed price.
• A good choice for active families: Children enjoyed the ATV ride in one account, though every participant should be comfortable with an outdoor motor activity.
• Plan around the weather: Poor weather can lead to a new date or a full refund, and cancellation without penalty requires at least 24 hours notice.

What this seven-hour Ubud day looks like

This is a full-day outing from Kuta built around an ATV ride near Ubud. The active portion comes first, followed by cultural and nature stops, so you begin with the most physical part of the day and finish with easier walking and sightseeing.

The supplied schedule gives about three hours at Pertiwi Adventure, including the riding operation and related arrangements. The ride itself is described as about 1.5 to 2 hours, so you should not expect three continuous hours on the quad bike. The remaining time covers instruction, safety equipment, changing or preparing, and the route through the attraction.

After the ATV stop, you visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary for about two hours. The planned day then allows roughly one hour at Ubud Art Market and one hour at Tegalalang Rice Terrace. These times are useful guides rather than guarantees, since road conditions and the pace of your private group can affect the day.

The ATV ride at Pertiwi Adventure

The ATV section is the reason to choose this tour over a standard sightseeing loop. You ride with an instructor along rugged terrain, muddy trails, waterfall areas, and countryside with broad views. It is designed as a proper outdoor activity rather than a short photo stop beside a parked vehicle.

The included safety equipment matters. You do not need to arrange a helmet or basic riding gear separately, and a professional ATV instructor is part of the package. The instructor leads the route and helps keep the ride organized, which is useful if your group has mixed riding experience.

Expect the track to be messy, especially after rain. Mud is part of the appeal, but it also means you should wear clothes and shoes you can tolerate getting dirty. The provided information does not specify changing facilities, shower arrangements, or footwear, so ask the operator about those points before booking if they matter to you.

The ride is also not a quiet countryside tour. You are handling a motorized vehicle on uneven ground, with an element of speed and physical control. Most participants can take part, according to the supplied details, but you should be comfortable with the basic demands of an ATV outing.

Families may find this portion especially appealing. One account specifically describes children enjoying the track, while another praises the ATV itself and the excitement of the route. Still, children and adults need to follow the instructor’s directions, and the listing does not set out an exact minimum age or passenger arrangement. Ask Bersinar Bali Tour for those details if you are booking with young children.

Monkey Forest: temples, macaques, and careful walking

The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary gives the day a sharp change of mood. Instead of engine noise and mud, you walk through a forested temple complex where long-tailed macaques live among ancient religious structures and shaded paths.

The description gives different population figures, referring to approximately 340 macaques in one place and more than 700 in another. The useful point is not the exact count. You are visiting a substantial sanctuary where monkeys move through their own habitat, not a small animal display.

The two-hour stop gives you time to walk the trails and see the temple setting without rushing through in a few minutes. It also gives your guide room to explain the place and help you find good viewpoints. Cokde was specifically praised for explaining the places visited and for taking photographs, while Gede was described as friendly, funny, and attentive to the group.

You should treat the macaques as wild animals. The supplied information does not give detailed feeding or bag rules, so listen closely to the sanctuary staff and your guide. Keep your belongings secure, avoid sudden movements, and do not assume a close monkey encounter is safe simply because it makes a good photo.

This stop works well after the ATV ride because it slows the day down. The drawback is that the forest can feel crowded or busy at popular times, and two hours may feel long if you are mainly interested in the quad bike. If temples, wildlife, and shaded walking appeal to you, the stop adds real variety.

Ubud Art Market for a short shopping break

The Ubud Art Market is scheduled for about one hour. It is a practical stop for browsing souvenirs, handmade goods, clothing, and decorative items in the central Ubud area.

One hour is enough for a quick look, but not enough for a relaxed market session if you want to compare many stalls. The market is known for its organized chaos, which means the shopping can be part of the fun, but you need to stay aware of time and your meeting point.

This is the least essential stop for people who dislike shopping. You may prefer to use the time for a drink, a short walk, or a closer look at nearby streets, but the tour schedule includes the market as part of the Ubud circuit. Since the activity is private, you can ask your guide how firmly the stop needs to be followed, though the total day still has a set duration.

If you plan to buy something, decide what you want before you arrive. The market can easily absorb more than an hour, especially if you negotiate over several items. Keep purchases manageable because you still have the rice terrace stop and the ride back to Kuta.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace and the final views

Tegalalang is the visual payoff for the sightseeing part of the tour. The rice fields sit in a valley, creating layered views across the terraces and the surrounding green countryside. The setting is one of the most recognizable rural scenes near Ubud.

You are visiting a working cultural area, not simply a viewpoint. The terraces show how farming, village life, and Bali’s distinctive irrigation traditions shape the countryside. The tour description also places Tegalalang alongside the terraced areas of Pejeng and Campuhan as some of the finest-looking rice country in the Ubud region.

The scheduled visit lasts about one hour. That gives you time for photographs and a walk, but it may not allow a long trek through every level of the terraces. Paths can be uneven, and the supplied information does not specify how far the group walks or which viewpoint is used, so bring shoes suitable for outdoor surfaces.

This stop is a useful counterweight to the ATV ride. The quad bike shows you Bali through motion and mud; Tegalalang gives you a slower view of the countryside. If you want a full agricultural walk, ask about the exact route before booking. If you mainly want the famous valley view, the planned hour may be enough.

Private transport makes the packed schedule workable

The tour includes private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, and pickup is offered. That is a significant part of the value when starting in Kuta and visiting several sites around Ubud. You avoid piecing together separate rides, arranging a driver for each stop, or figuring out how to carry muddy riding gear between activities.

The private setup also means only your group participates. You can travel with your own companions instead of joining a large sightseeing bus, and the day may feel less rigid than a shared tour. It does not remove traffic, though. Kuta and Ubud are separate areas, and the time spent on the road affects how much leisure time you receive at each stop.

A good guide can make a difference here. Gede received praise for being helpful, friendly, and good-humored, while Cokde was noted for photography and explanations. These names are useful when you contact the operator, but they should not be treated as a guarantee that one of them will lead your particular departure. Ask if you want to request a specific guide.

Is $87.95 a fair price?

At $87.95 per person, this tour is not the cheapest way to see a single Ubud attraction. Its value comes from bundling transport, an ATV ride, an instructor, safety equipment, lunch, admission fees, and four different stops into one private day.

The private vehicle is especially useful for couples, families, and small groups. If you were already planning to hire a private driver and pay separately for the ATV activity, Monkey Forest entry, and other visits, the package could be efficient. Group discounts may improve the price for larger parties.

The calculation looks less attractive if you only care about riding. You would be paying for the market, Monkey Forest, rice terrace, lunch, and transport as well. The package suits you best if you want a broad first look at Ubud rather than a long, focused ATV session.

The activity is booked an average of 13 days ahead, which suggests you should not leave it until the last minute if your Bali dates are fixed. Confirmation is received at booking, and mobile ticketing makes the reservation easy to keep with you.

Food, equipment, and what to bring

Lunch is included, along with all listed fees and taxes. The meal reduces the need to stop and find food during a tightly scheduled day, though the supplied details do not specify the menu or whether dietary requests can be handled. Tell the operator about food needs before departure rather than assuming the meal will suit you.

Safety equipment and a professional instructor are included for the ATV ride. Personal expenses are not covered, so bring money for anything outside the package, including market purchases or other personal costs.

For a smoother day, I would bring:

• Clothes that can get muddy
• Comfortable shoes for the forest and rice terrace
• A secure way to carry your phone and wallet
• A change of clothes, if the operator confirms there is a place to change
• Sun protection and water for the outdoor portions
• A small amount of cash for personal spending

These suggestions follow the nature of the activities, but the operator should confirm any specific clothing, storage, age, or equipment rules before you go.

Weather, cancellation, and who should book

Good weather is required. If poor weather forces cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time, but cancellations or changes made inside that window are not refunded or accepted.

I would book this tour if you want one active day that covers several famous Ubud sights and you value private transport. It is especially suitable for first-time visitors to the area, couples, families whose children can handle the ATV activity, and groups that want a guide to manage the day.

I would choose something else if you want a slow cultural tour, a long rice-field walk, or several hours devoted only to riding. The schedule is full, and the four stops are more about range than depth.
