Muddy ATVs and a calm infinity pool.

This Cretya Ubud day mixes adrenaline with a proper decompression stop, so you’re not just rushing from one photo spot to the next. I like that you ride a 350cc ATV on a serious off-road track, and I also love the follow-up at Cretya with an infinity pool view over rice terraces, plus a free drink and coffee tasting.

One thing to plan around: there are age limits for the Cretya pool and for ATV riding, so check eligibility before you book.

The day plan in plain terms

You’ll start around 8:00am with hotel pickup and head out in an air-conditioned vehicle. The timing is built for good daylight and a smooth flow: a quick coffee stop, a main ATV session that’s described as challenging, and then time at Cretya to cool down, shower, and settle in by the pool.

The whole experience is designed as a private group day (your party only), and it runs about 7–8 hours. If you want a Ubud day that feels active but not chaotic, this is a strong match.

Key things to know before you go

• 350cc ATV ride: Expect a real off-road route, not a slow, around-the-block cruise.
• Cretya time includes pool + extras: Infinity pool access, one drink, and a Balinese coffee tasting.
• Main ride is not casual: The route is described as challenging, with rain-forest sections, tunnels, waterfalls, and muddy tracks.
• Lunch + shower facilities: You’re set up to rinse off and keep the day comfortable after the ride.
• Coffee stop is short but included: Uma Pakel Agro Tourism gives you a free local coffee and herbal tea tasting (30 minutes).

The ATV track: 350cc power and practical safety

This tour centers on a serious ATV outing: you ride a 350cc machine and spend roughly 1.5–2 hours on the trail (the main riding block is listed at about 2 hours). The route is sold as the best ATV track in Ubud, and the description makes it clear why: you go through jungle trails and rice-field areas, cross rivers, pass tunnels and villages, and work through muddy terrain.

What that means for you is simple: you should expect to get dirty and wet. Even if the day stays mostly clear, Ubud’s terrain can mean puddles, slick sections, and splash zones. If you hate damp clothes, I’d treat this like a “ride day,” not a “clean day.”

Safety equipment and a professional guide are included, and this is one of those tours where the guide quality matters a lot. In the feedback I’ve seen connected to this provider, guides such as Yan, Yan Mudita, Komang Budiana, and Ketut are repeatedly described as friendly and reliable, with clear guidance and helpful storytelling. The best part of that for you: you’ll spend less time guessing and more time enjoying the ride.

Your riding comfort checklist

Bring:

• Closed-toe shoes you don’t mind getting ruined
• A change of clothes for after the ride (you’ll have showers/changing facilities, but you’ll still want something fresh)
• Sunscreen and sunglasses you can tolerate in muddy conditions

If you’re the kind of rider who wants a gentle pace, you might feel the route’s challenge level. But if you want a legit ATV day, this tour’s structure matches that goal.

Cretya Ubud infinity pool: the calm reward after the mud

After the ATV, the vibe shifts. Cretya Ubud is where you cash in the effort: free infinity pool access with a rice-terrace view, plus one complimentary drink and a free Balinese coffee tasting.

The pool time is listed at about 2 hours, which is a sweet spot. Long enough to relax and take photos, but not so long that the day drags. One practical detail I like: you get lunch and the pool stop includes shower and changing facilities, so you can realistically go from muddy to comfortable instead of just drying off however you can.

The Cretya rules you should not ignore

This is where you need to pay attention. The info provided states:

• Under 19 years old might not swim at Cretya’s infinity pool.
• Under 18 years old is not allowed to enter Cretya Ubud, though it notes they might still be able to enter Alas Harum Bali to explore around.

So if you’re traveling with teens or kids, don’t assume everyone can do the pool part. Plan for alternate activities for anyone who can’t swim.

Not included add-ons at Cretya

Cretya also has other paid activities such as an extreme Bali swing, zip line, and sky bike. Those are not included in this package, so if you’re tempted, you’ll need to budget separately.

Uma Pakel Agro Tourism: coffee and herbal tea, quick and friendly

Sandwiched into the day is a short cultural stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism. It’s about 30 minutes, and the highlight is simple: a free tasting of local coffee and herbal tea.

This stop matters because it gives you a break from the intense parts of the day. You go from ATV effort to a slower pace where you can sit, sample, and reset your energy. If you like knowing what you’re drinking, this kind of stop usually also comes with some basic context, even if you keep your expectations modest for time.

Don’t over-plan your schedule here. Since it’s only 30 minutes, treat it as a tasting session rather than a full museum-style visit.

Pertiwi Adventure: rainforest, tunnels, waterfall, and mud

The main ride portion is described as quite challenging at Pertiwi Adventure. You’ll pass through:

• Rainforest areas
• A tunnel section
• A waterfall
• Muddy tracks
• Local family/village areas
• Rice fields

That list is basically a recipe for the kind of ATV day people remember. The tunnel and waterfall segments add drama and variety. The muddy tracks are where the adrenaline meets reality: this is not just about speed. It’s about control, balance, and staying calm while your tires find traction in rougher conditions.

What you can expect on a rough track

If you’ve never ridden an ATV on wet terrain, your first instinct might be to tense up. The best approach is to stay relaxed and let the bike work. A good guide and safety setup help a lot here, and the tour includes both.

If your group includes mixed experience levels, a private format helps. You’re not stuck with a crowd that wants a different pace than your group.

Lunch, bottled water, showers: where comfort beats bravado

After you ride, you’ll get lunch and bottled water included. You’ll also have shower and changing facilities so you can actually feel human again.

This part sounds boring, but it’s the difference between a great day and a miserable one. ATV tours can leave you sweaty, dusty, and cold if you hit a splash zone followed by a breeze. Shower access means you can shift from active to relaxed without ending the day feeling grimy.

If you’re sensitive to heavy scents, consider bringing a small hair tie or cap. You might get splashed, and you’ll be glad you planned for it.

Price and value: what $95 really buys you

At $95 per person, this is positioned as a full-day package rather than a basic ATV rental. Here’s where the value shows up:

You’re paying for:

• A guided 350cc ATV ride on an off-road track
• All tickets and the ATV ride included
• Hotel pickup and drop-off
• Lunch and bottled water
• Cretya infinity pool access plus one complimentary drink
• Free Balinese coffee tasting
• Access to showers/changing facilities
• A short coffee/tea tasting stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism

That’s a lot bundled in. The other side of value is knowing what costs extra. Food and drinks at Cretya beyond the included drink aren’t included, and the paid activities (swing, zip line, sky bike) are extra. If you choose extra activities, your day can go above the base price.

There’s also an extra note for solo travelers: an IDR 350,000 extra charge for a solo participant, and the minimum booking is 2 persons. So if you’re traveling solo, price comparisons should include that surcharge.

Who gets the best deal

If you and a friend can book together and you want both the ride and a real relaxation stop, this is the sweet spot. It’s less ideal if you only want the ATV and none of the Cretya time, since the pool portion is a major part of the package.

Who should book this ATV + Cretya day

This is a good fit if:

• You want a Ubud day that blends action and downtime
• You’re comfortable with muddy, wet terrain
• You like having the schedule handled, including pickup and drop-off
• You enjoy guides who talk and explain local context (names like Yan and Yan Mudita come up often for being friendly and helpful)

It’s less ideal if:

• You dislike getting dirty and wet
• Your group includes minors who may be restricted from Cretya pool access
• You’re looking for a gentle, sightseeing-only day

Age notes are the key filter. Under 16 and under 12 riders require adult accompaniment for the ATV part, and pool access is restricted by age as noted above. Check the limits before you commit.

A few smart planning tips for a smooth day

• Wear gear you can ruin: ATV days turn clothes into wet souvenirs.
• Budget time for photos at Cretya: the plan gives you a block of pool time, and getting there earlier in the day usually helps your photos stay calmer.
• Bring a dry layer: even with a warm Ubud day, you may feel cooler after the ride depending on how wet you get.
• Ask your guide about pace: if your group has different comfort levels, a good guide can adjust how you handle the trickier sections.

Also note the tour requires good weather. If conditions are poor, it can be canceled and you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Should you book it?

I’d book this if you want a Ubud day that feels like two experiences in one: a legit ATV adventure followed by a relaxing infinity pool stop with lunch, a drink, and coffee tasting. It’s structured well for a day that doesn’t feel rushed, and the included shower/changing facilities make it practical instead of just exciting.

I wouldn’t book it if your group can’t handle muddy riding or if age restrictions at Cretya affect your plans. For families, teens, or anyone close to the pool limits, verify eligibility first so nobody shows up expecting a pool swim that won’t happen.

If you match the vibe, this is one of those day trips that leaves you with more than memories. You’ll have a story.
