Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool

12 min read

Quad bikes in Ubud sound wild—and this one delivers. What makes the Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure day feel special is the mix of dirty-fun trail time with nature stops: a guided quad ride through rugged paths, plus an extra cultural/nature hit at Gorilla Face Cave and a hidden jungle waterfall area.

Two things I really like: the tour includes a full setup—professional ATV instructor, safety gear, towels, and shower facilities—so you’re not left to figure things out after you get muddy. I also like the built-in payoff at the end of the ride: Indonesian lunch at Cretya Sunset Pool & Bar, with time to swim or lounge by the pool.

One drawback to plan for: you’ll likely leave with wet clothes and a need for a proper rinse. Even with towels and showers on-site, bring extra outfits so you can enjoy the day instead of feeling gross later.

The schedule also works well if you want one solid half-day in Ubud without stacking multiple tours. About 6 hours total, with pickup offered, means you can pack adrenaline in the morning and still end with a calmer pool moment.

Key things to know before you go

  • ATV options up to 850cc: choose the power level that matches your comfort and experience.
  • Gorilla Face Cave stop: you’re not just riding in a straight loop—there’s a real nature/cave element.
  • Towels and shower facilities: helpful when the trails get muddy.
  • Cretya Sunset Pool lunch: Indonesian lunch plus time at the pool so you can recover.
  • Guides and friendly staff: multiple reviews mention smooth organization and a very welcoming vibe.
  • Maximum group size of 70: large enough for variety, still manageable with an organized guide team.

Quad bike day in Ubud: what you’re actually buying

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - Quad bike day in Ubud: what you’re actually buying
This is an ATV quad bike adventure built for people who want movement, not a slow sightseeing loop. You’ll get guided riding through rough, outdoor terrain around Ubud, where the fun comes from handling uneven paths, turns, and that unmistakable muddy Bali dirt.

At the same time, this isn’t only about speed. The day has built-in “pause points” so it feels like an experience, not a random ride. The cave and waterfall segments add variety, and then Cretya Sunset Pool gives you a proper landing spot afterward.

If you’re coming to Ubud for food, temples, and rice terraces, this is your switch-up day. It’s the kind of activity that makes the rest of your trip feel more complete, because you’ve done something physical and outdoorsy.

The ATV, safety setup, and how the ride feels in real life

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - The ATV, safety setup, and how the ride feels in real life
The tour includes high-quality ATV units with engine options of 250cc, 450cc, or 850cc. That matters more than it sounds. Different power levels change how the bike responds on climbs, loose soil, and quick turns. If you’re new, a smaller engine can feel easier to control. If you’ve ridden before, the stronger options let you keep momentum on tougher sections.

You’ll also have a professional ATV ride instructor and safety-approved ride equipment. The key here is that instruction is part of the package, not an optional extra. That’s why this works for beginners as well as experienced riders. You get guidance before you start pushing your comfort zone.

One practical tip that shows up in real-life experiences: plan for mud. You’ll be riding through paths where wet ground is part of the deal. That mud doesn’t ruin the day—but it does mean your clothes and shoes may not look the way they did when you left your hotel.

Also, the tour provides towels and shower facilities. That’s a real value-add in Bali, where it’s hot and sweaty and you’ll want to refresh before dinner plans.

Cretya Sunset Pool stop: lunch, swim time, and a calmer finish

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - Cretya Sunset Pool stop: lunch, swim time, and a calmer finish
After the ride comes the part that makes this feel like a full experience rather than a single hard-activity burst: the Cretya Sunset stop.

You get Indonesian lunch at Cretya Sunset Pool & Bar, and the schedule includes an hour for admission and pool time. This is the moment to cool off, eat, and reset. If you want a swim, this is when you do it. If you’d rather skip the water, you can still lounge by the pool with views of the surrounding Ubud area.

What I like about this stop is that it balances your day. ATV rides can be noisy, physical, and a little tiring. A pool break gives your body a breather, and it turns the day into something you can talk about later without needing a “recovery day” the next morning.

The tour includes mineral water too, which is helpful because you’re using a lot of energy in the heat.

Alasan Adventures ATV: Gorilla Face Cave and the jungle waterfall segment

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - Alasan Adventures ATV: Gorilla Face Cave and the jungle waterfall segment
This is the main event block: around two hours of ATV time with guided exploration that includes Gorilla Face Cave and access to a hidden jungle waterfall area.

The cave stop is what makes the day more interesting than a pure riding circuit. You’re looking at rock formations and geological features as part of the guided route. It adds context to the setting around Ubud, so the day feels tied to the land, not only to the bikes.

Then there’s the waterfall component. The ride is designed to bring you into a natural, jungle-feeling environment where water and greenery become part of the experience. Expect an outdoor, earthy vibe. You’ll feel like you’re in Bali’s interior, not just next to a paved road.

The cave + waterfall structure also helps pacing. You’re not riding nonstop. You stop, look around, and let the day slow just enough to keep it enjoyable.

What to pack (so you enjoy the mud instead of fighting it)

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - What to pack (so you enjoy the mud instead of fighting it)
This is the advice that most strongly improves your day: bring extra clothes and a plan for changing.

You’ll get muddy. That’s not a maybe. The tour includes shower facilities and towels, which helps a lot, but you still need clean clothes to actually put on afterward.

Here’s what you should plan to bring:

  • A change of clothes (at minimum underwear/tops)
  • A dry bag or plastic bag for your phone/wallet
  • Shower basics if you want them (the tour provides towels and showers, but personal toiletries aren’t listed)
  • Something secure for your belongings during the ride

If you’re choosing between shoes, go with something you can stand to get wet or muddy. If you’re bringing something precious, keep it out of the ride zone with a protective bag.

One more small point: the tour includes pickup and organized changing/shower setup at the start, and reviews mention those facilities are clean and modern. Still, arriving prepared means less stress and better photos—because you’re not rushing to scramble for clean clothes later.

Pickup, meeting point, and how the day runs

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - Pickup, meeting point, and how the day runs
The activity starts and ends at Alasan Adventures – ATVTaro, Tegalalang, Gianyar Regency, Bali 80572, Indonesia. Pickup is offered, so if you don’t want to handle logistics yourself, you can let the operator coordinate transport.

Total time is about 6 hours. The day is built around two blocks: the ATV adventure segment (including cave and waterfall time) and the Cretya pool/lunch reset.

Group size is capped at 70. That number matters for your expectations. You’re not getting a private one-on-one ride, but you also shouldn’t feel like you’re lost in a massive crowd. The organization described in reviews—friendly staff, clean facilities, and a smooth flow—suggests they handle it well.

Price and value: is $35 worth it for a half-day ATV + nature stops?

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - Price and value: is $35 worth it for a half-day ATV + nature stops?
At $35 per person, this sits in the “great deal if you want action” category. You’re not paying only for the quad bike. Your money covers:

  • ATV units with engine options
  • Safety-approved ride equipment
  • A professional instructor
  • Towels and shower facilities
  • Indonesian lunch at Cretya Sunset Pool & Bar
  • Mineral water
  • Admission tickets tied to the stops

When you compare it to paying for an ATV ride alone (then adding lunch and transport and shower access separately), the value starts to make sense. The lunch and pool hour are included, and that’s not a small add-on in Ubud where food and drinks can add up quickly.

The other value factor is the “extra content.” Gorilla Face Cave and the waterfall stop take it beyond a basic riding loop. You’re paying for a day that includes natural sights, not just motorcycle time.

If you’re the type who loves Ubud’s parks and viewpoints but also wants a break from temple hopping, $35 can feel like a smart spend.

Who should book this Ubud ATV day—and who should skip it

Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure Waterfall Gorilla Cave & Cretya Pool - Who should book this Ubud ATV day—and who should skip it
This tour makes the most sense if:

  • You want a hands-on Bali day that mixes adventure and nature.
  • You can handle some physical effort (the tour says moderate physical fitness).
  • You want instruction and safety support rather than going off on your own.
  • You’d enjoy ending with a pool lunch break, not just a return ride back to town.

It may not be the best choice if:

  • You hate getting muddy or don’t want to deal with wet clothes afterward (though showers help).
  • You want purely relaxed sightseeing with no physical riding involved.
  • You’re expecting a quiet, reflective pace the entire time—this is action-focused.

It’s a solid fit for couples and solo visitors who want energy, and it can also work for families if everyone involved can manage the ride level and the mud reality.

Should you book the Ubud ATV Alasan Adventure with Cretya Pool?

Yes, I think you should book it if your ideal Ubud day includes dirt-on-the-shoes fun, a guided cave and waterfall stop, and a proper lunch/pool reset at the end. The value is strong because the price bundles ATV safety, instruction, showers, and lunch—plus it adds Gorilla Face Cave and waterfall time rather than stopping at only riding.

If you’re sensitive to mess and you hate changing clothes, I’d reconsider. But if you’re willing to pack extra clothes and embrace the outdoors for a few hours, this is one of those Bali activities that turns into a story you’ll remember longer than another photo stop.
