Ubud Countryside Sightseeing Tour by ATV Ride
Book on Viator →Operated by Master Bali Tour · Bookable on Viator
ATV tracks in Bali feel like playtime with purpose. I like the private-group attention and the fact that you get proper gear up front, so you can focus on riding instead of scrambling for basics. I also love the built-in comfort: lockers, showers, and changing rooms mean you can clean up without ruining the rest of your day. The one drawback to consider is that this is a physical, bumpy off-road ride, so if you have epilepsy or a heart condition, it is not recommended.
For timing, this is the kind of activity that fits a hectic itinerary: the total outing runs about 2 hours, with roughly 90 minutes actually on the quad. You’ll also get a local guide who stays with you, which helps a lot the moment you roll onto uneven, muddy terrain. If you’re traveling with kids, there’s a clear age setup—12+ rides as the driver, while ages 5–11 ride tandem with an adult.
If you’re hoping for a little “Bali outside the resort bubble,” this works because you’re not just going in circles on paved roads. You’ll spend time on farmland-style routes—think hills, riverside sections, and dirt you’ll want to wash off later. Just come prepared with the mindset of getting dirty, then enjoying the countryside ride.

Top Reasons This ATV Tour Is Worth Your Time

- Private-group setup with a local off-road guide staying with you during the ride
- Real safety routine: track briefing first, then helmets and booth shoes
- Comfort after riding: lockers, shower, and changing room available
- A safer track format: a private ATV route designed to be away from other car drivers
- Includes the essentials: quad (250cc), fuel, taxes, and a welcome drink/mineral water
Quick Snapshot: ATV Fun in the Ubud Countryside (From Nusa Dua)

This is an ATV countryside sightseeing experience priced at $52 per person for about 2 hours total. The big promise is simple: you’ll ride for around 90 minutes, cross rugged dirt routes, and still have time to keep your day moving.
The tour is listed for Nusa Dua, but it’s marketed as an Ubud countryside ride—so what matters in practice is the terrain and track style you’ll experience once you’re out there. You’ll be guided, not just dropped off. That matters because ATV riding is equal parts throttle and confidence, and the early briefing helps you get your bearings fast.
Also, the transport side can be shared depending on your pickup location. If you choose pickup/transfer, you should expect it to be combined with other people coming from the same area. The ride itself is private to your group.

Price and Logistics: What You’re Really Paying For

At $52, you’re not just paying for an ATV. You’re paying for the whole package of setup, safety gear, and riding time.
Here’s what that price typically covers:
- The ATV quad experience (250cc category)
- Fuel and taxes
- Safety equipment
- A welcome drink/mineral bottle water
- Locker and wash access (shower/changing room)
What you usually add:
- Gratuity is not included
- Hotel pickup and drop-off is only included if you select the transport option
This is usually good value if you want a structured ride rather than renting equipment and trying to figure out routes on your own. The tour also includes a track briefing with a local instructor, which reduces the guesswork and makes the start of the ride feel less chaotic.
One practical point: the tour is described as private activity for your group, but transport can be shared with other people at the same pickup point. So if your priority is total privacy from start to finish, that’s something to weigh when you decide on pickup.
Stop 1 at Jalan Raya Kengetan: Track Briefing and Gear Check
Your experience begins at the meeting point at Jalan Raya Kengetan. Before anyone rides, the group gathers for an ATV track briefing led by a local instructor. This is where you learn the basics you actually need: how to handle the quad on uneven ground and what to expect on the route.
Then comes the gear part:
- You’ll receive a helmet
- You’ll also get booth shoes for riding
The most underrated part of this stage is the order: briefing first, gear next. If you put on your helmet and only then figure out what the guide wants from you, you waste energy right at the start. Here, you’re set up to ride immediately after the instruction.
This is also where you’ll see the “get ready to get dirty” reality. Even with booth shoes and a guided route, you should plan on mud splashes and dirt on your clothes. Bring something you don’t mind washing later.
Stop 2: Rural Bali Countryside Views and Artistic Culture

Once you’re rolling, the tour shifts from prep mode into countryside mode. The ride takes place in a rural area in the middle of Bali that still has a strong artistic culture and natural beauty—plus plenty of open space for off-road riding.
This stop is where the countryside sightseeing value kicks in. You’ll be on terrain that includes:
- Farmland-style routes
- Up and down hills
- Along river sections
For me, the key is that it’s not just scenery from a viewpoint. You’re moving through it, which makes the countryside feel more real and closer than a drive-by photo stop.
The tradeoff is that hills and uneven ground demand attention. You’ll want to keep your hands steady and let the quad do what it does on the dirt. If you’re easily overwhelmed by physical activity, this isn’t a “casual stroll” outing—but it is still designed for regular participants, not just extreme riders.
Stop 3: A Private ATV Track Made for Off-Road Fun

After the countryside sections, you’ll ride on a private track made especially for ATV adventures. The big safety benefit here is that the track is designed to be safe from other car drivers.
That doesn’t mean the ride is frictionless. ATV tracks are still bumpy and sometimes slick, especially when dirt turns to mud. But it does mean you’re not mixing with normal road traffic while learning the feel of the machine.
This is where the fun often peaks. If you like a bit of action—simple thrills like acceleration on dirt, quick turns on uneven ground, and the satisfaction of mastering the route—this portion delivers.
One practical tip: keep your expectations realistic. You’re riding an ATV quad 250cc, guided on a designed track, but it’s still a hands-on off-road experience. You’ll be moving and reacting, not just cruising.
How the Riding Time Feels (About 90 Minutes on Quads)

The tour is about 2 hours total, with around 90 minutes riding. That timing is the whole point for people who have limited vacation hours.
Ninety minutes is long enough to feel like you actually did something, but short enough that you don’t lose your whole afternoon to one activity. Add setup time, gear fitting, and briefing, and you still end up with a plan that doesn’t swallow the entire day.
Because the ride is guided with a local off-road guide, you shouldn’t need to worry about navigation. Your job is to ride and pay attention to instructions. That’s one of the reasons this style of tour is so popular for families and mixed-experience groups.
Safety, Comfort, and Getting Clean After the Ride

The tour includes all required safety equipment and provides lockers, a shower, and changing rooms. That trio changes how you can plan your day.
If you’re doing other activities later—dinner, a temple visit, or a beach plan—you’ll appreciate having a place to rinse off and change instead of trying to scrub dirt in your hotel sink.
The equipment package also matters:
- Helmet provided
- Booth shoes provided
- Mineral water/welcome drink included
I also like that the rider requirements are spelled out clearly:
- ATV driver category requires minimum 12 years old
- Ages 5–11 ride as passengers tandem with an adult
So you can choose the right family setup without guessing.
If you’re concerned about physical safety or medical conditions, follow the tour guidance. It’s not recommended for travelers with epilepsy history and heart attack. Off-road vibrations and risk exposure can be unpredictable, and it’s smart to take the warning seriously.
What Makes the Guidance Feel Good on Day One

A guided ATV ride is only as good as the guide. The best part of this tour setup is that you’re not alone on the route.
In the feedback, the driver Yus is highlighted for being great: sharing a lot of information while driving around, keeping things fun, and bringing the trip to life with humor. Another detail that comes up is that the transport vehicle was clean, with air conditioning and water supplied—nice touches that make the ride-in feel comfortable before the dirt starts.
Even if your guide style is different, the principle stays the same: you’ll be riding with a local who can explain what to do when the terrain changes.
Included Perks: The Small Things That Actually Matter
A few inclusions make the experience more practical than it first appears.
You get:
- Fuel and taxes included in the ATV cost
- A quad experience with the 250cc category
- Mineral bottle water / welcome drink
- Waiting area facilities
- Locker, changing room, and shower access
These are not just “nice extras.” They reduce friction. When gear is provided, you can travel lighter. When water is provided, you don’t scramble mid-activity. When showers are provided, you can keep your day on track instead of hoping your clothes dry in time.
There’s also mention of group discounts, which can improve value if you’re traveling with friends.
Who This ATV Tour Suits Best
This is a strong match if you want:
- An action activity that still includes countryside variety
- A guided ride that helps you handle uneven terrain
- A time-efficient outing (about 2 hours total)
- A family-friendly setup with clear age categories
It tends to work well for:
- Families with kids aged 5–11 as passengers, and adults/older teens who can drive (12+)
- Groups of friends who want shared fun without complex planning
- People who want a structured ATV experience rather than DIY rentals
If you’re looking for a totally chill experience—low movement, minimal dirt, no hills—this may feel like too much. But if you’re ready for dirt and motion, it’s a fun way to see Bali from ground level.
Should You Book This Ubud Countryside ATV Ride?
If your goal is 90 minutes of guided quad riding with proper safety gear and real comfort afterward, I’d say this is worth booking. At $52, you’re paying for more than the ATV—you’re paying for briefings, equipment, and the facilities to clean up, which keeps the day from turning into a muddy mess you can’t recover from.
Book it if:
- You like hands-on activities and don’t mind getting dirty
- You want a guided route with a private track designed away from other car drivers
- You value having lockers and showers after the ride
Skip or reconsider if:
- You or a family member has medical conditions noted as not recommended (epilepsy history or heart attack)
- You prefer low-impact sightseeing only
If you do decide to go, wear shoes and clothing you can rinse or wash later, and bring a simple mindset: do the briefing, follow the guide, and let the countryside be part of the ride rather than just the view.
