ATV tracks near Ubud move fast. This is a hands-on day built around 1.5–2 hours of riding through jungle trails, bamboo, and rice paddy areas, then refueling with lunch right after. I like that you’re set up with proper helmet gear and that the pace gives you enough time to actually enjoy the ride instead of rushing through it.

Two things I’d put at the top: the chance to get messy and have fun on real track conditions (some rides include water and mud), and the simple payoff of an Indonesian buffet lunch after the ATV. One thing to think about first: you should expect to get wet and muddy, especially if you add the Tegenungan Waterfall stop.

If you’re going with KoiBali Tour, the company support feels human. Guides/hosts like Wayan are known for being helpful and easy to be around, and that kind of calm presence matters when you’re handling a quad bike for the first time. The group is capped at 15, so this is more small-adventure than big-chaos—just don’t expect a quiet, private morning.

Key highlights worth showing up for

• ATV riding time of 1.5–2 hours through jungle trails, bamboo, and rice paddy terrain
• Indonesian buffet lunch included after you ride
• Optional Tegenungan Waterfall visit with time to swim and relax
• Hotel pickup and drop-off available (2-way transfers around Ubud and much of south Bali)
• Helmet and ATV safety setup included, plus insurance coverage
• Small group max of 15 for a more manageable experience

ATV riding near Ubud: what 1.5–2 hours really feels like

This is an ATV adventure built for motion. Plan on about 5 hours total including your stops and meal, with roughly 1.5–2 hours actually riding the quad. The goal is not just a short photo lap—it’s a real route through mixed terrain, including jungle trails and bamboo.

You’ll get instruction and safety gear before you head out. The included list confirms a helmet, and the tour overview mentions safety gear like boots and helmet, which is key in Bali where trail conditions can be slick. If you’re worried about looking cool, don’t. Your best look here is comfortable feet and a helmet that stays put.

The ride is also where you’ll notice why this style of ATV tour is popular: you get to feel the land under the wheels. If you like doing things with your body—turning, braking, riding through damp sections—this hits the right balance of thrill and guidance.

Stop 1: Bali Pertiwi Paintball and the “start-up” phase

Your first listed stop is Bali Pertiwi Paintball. Think of this as the launch point that puts you on the route quickly, with time for check-in and getting oriented before you head out. It’s also part of why the day stays efficient—less time hunting for logistics, more time on the quad.

This stop isn’t framed as a “must-see attraction,” so don’t show up expecting a sightseeing tour. Instead, treat it like your pre-ride hub: use it to confirm your ride setup (solo vs tandem), get any last instructions, and double-check you’ve got what you need for a wet/muddy adventure.

Stop 2: Tegenungan Waterfall option—swim time, but mind the conditions

The second stop is Tegenungan Waterfall. If you choose the option, you’ll pay the entrance fee as part of the package, and the day is designed so you can swim and relax after your ATV ride. The waterfall piece works well because it gives you a break from the intensity of driving, and it’s a satisfying contrast: throttle to splash, then chill.

The tour also notes that you can visit Tegenungan by van as part of the upgrade. That matters because it reduces the chance you’ll spend the later part of the day stuck in transport decisions. You still need to time yourself—waterfalls mean slippery steps, and you’ll be changing from muddy ATV gear to wet waterfall time.

If you’re sensitive to heights or rough footing, you can still enjoy the experience from safer viewing spots, but the tour intent leans toward getting in the water. Bring a practical mindset: shoes or sandals you trust, and clothing you don’t mind getting soaked.

Lunch after the ride: Indonesian buffet that does its job

You’re fed after the ATV. The included meal is an Indonesian buffet lunch, timed to refuel you when you’re most likely to be hungry—sun on your shoulders, arms working, and a real physical session behind you.

I like this setup because it keeps the day’s energy smooth. You ride first, then eat, instead of forcing everyone to eat before the fun. Buffet style also helps if you’re hungry at different speeds—some people finish early, some take longer, and you don’t get rushed.

Just plan that you may want a little extra water on top of the included meal. The tour notes that additional drinks are not included, so if you’re the type who drinks a lot (heat and exertion will do that), factor in a bit of cash or card for refills.

Pickup and drop-off around Ubud: where time can flex

Hotel pickup and drop-off are available if you select the option. The tour is set up for 2-way transfers from hotels around Ubud and much of south Bali. Duration of transfers can shift with local traffic, so build a little slack into your day.

This is one of those upgrades that actually affects enjoyment. If you have to navigate on your own, you’ll spend energy on transport instead of adrenaline. With pickup, you can focus on getting ready: helmet fitted, instructions heard, then out to ride.

If you’re staying outside the pickup zone, you might end up at the meeting point instead. The tour lists the start as Bali Pertiwi Adventure, Jl. Dewi Saraswati No.2, Bongkasa Pertiwi, Kec. Abiansemal, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80352. If you’re not sure where you fall, check before the day of pickup so you don’t arrive stressed.

Solo vs tandem ATV: how it affects your experience

This is important. The tour info is clear on how quad assignments work:

• Solo ride means you get 1 quad bike per person.
• Tandem means 1 quad for 2 people, with you riding with a partner.

Tandem must be booked in multiples of 2 (like 2, 4, 6, 8). If your booking has odd participants and someone doesn’t have a partner, the person without a partner may face an additional fee payable at the ATV starting point. If you’re traveling solo, or your group size is odd, this is worth double-checking before you commit.

From a comfort perspective, solo rides are usually the better feeling: you’re controlling speed and turns, and you’re not coordinating with someone else’s pace. Tandem can still be fun, just know it can change how much freedom you feel on the trail.

What’s included (and what you’ll likely spend extra on)

The package includes the things that matter for a smooth ride:

• Indonesian buffet lunch
• Helmet and an ATV setup that includes a special booth
• Fuel surcharge
• Insurance
• Entrance fee to Tegenungan Waterfall if that option is selected
• Hotel pick up and drop off if selected

Not included:

• Photo and souvenirs, which you can purchase
• Additional drinks

One detail I really appreciate here is the photo situation. The ride style naturally creates moments you’ll want to remember. You’re not expected to stop and fumble for your camera while driving, and the day is set up for souvenir photos you can buy later.

If you’re watching costs, skip impulsive extras. Photos and souvenirs are optional, and they’re an easy place for the day to quietly add up.

Small-group size and the guide factor: you’ll notice the difference

This tour runs with a maximum of 15 travelers. That’s a sweet spot for an ATV day. Big groups often mean longer waits at checkpoints and more time waiting for instructions. Here, you should spend more of the day in motion.

The human factor also matters. The wider KoiBali Tour experience is tied to friendly hosts and helpful guides—names like Wayan show up repeatedly in how people describe their time. When you feel looked after, you ride more confidently, and you remember more of the fun.

Even if you’re new to ATVs, instruction before you start helps. Your goal is to feel safe enough to enjoy the muddy, splashy bits.

Price and value: is $45 a good deal?

At $45 per person, this tour is priced like a value ATV day with lunch rather than a premium full-day private experience. The value comes from the mix of inclusions:

You’re paying for actual riding time, not just a short demo. You’re also getting lunch, basic safety support, and insurance. Then you can optionally add the Tegenungan Waterfall entrance and time to swim, which adds a second “payoff moment” to the day.

If you want a simple way to judge it: compare the price to what you’d pay for a quad rental plus fuel plus a guide plus a real meal. Even if you’re only half-familiar with pricing, the included structure here looks like the cost is doing honest work.

Who should book this ATV ride with lunch

This is a strong pick if you want:

• Adrenaline without complicated planning
• An ATV route that includes varied terrain, not just a single straight track
• A day that ends with a meal and a chance to cool off at a waterfall (if you add it)

It’s less ideal if you:

• Really hate getting dirty. The ride style can involve water and mud, and the waterfall option adds more wet conditions.
• Want a purely relaxing, scenic walk day. This is riding-first.

Should you book this Bali ATV ride adventure with lunch?

Yes, if you’re the kind of traveler who likes doing one bold activity and then letting the rest of the day feel easy. The combination of ATV time, included Indonesian buffet lunch, and the optional Tegenungan Waterfall stop makes this feel like a full day with two clear moments: ride, then unwind.

If you’re unsure, decide based on one question: can you handle mud and splash? If the answer is yes, you’re in the right lane. If the answer is no, look for a tour that stays drier and calmer.
