ATV Quad Biking in Bali
ATV quad biking is one of Bali's most exhilarating adventures — tearing along muddy jungle trails, splashing through rice fields and rumbling through cave tunnels on an all-terrain quad. Almost all the tracks are clustered around Ubud, in areas like Payangan, Tegallalang, Bongkasa and Taro, and no experience is needed thanks to short training sessions and guided routes. This guide covers the best tracks, prices, tandem versus solo riding, what to wear and how to stay safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need experience to ride an ATV in Bali?
No. Operators give a short training session on flat ground before you set off, and a guide leads the whole route. Basic ATVs are automatic, so if you can steer and use a thumb throttle you'll be fine.
How much does ATV quad biking in Bali cost?
A single-rider ATV costs about USD 45–65 for a 1.5–2 hour trail, usually including gear, a guide and often lunch. A tandem (two people sharing one quad) is cheaper per person and good for couples or children.
How long does an ATV tour in Bali last?
The ride itself is usually 1.5 to 2 hours on the trail. With hotel pickup, gearing up, the safety briefing, lunch and the drop-off, plan for a half-day out — roughly 8:30 AM to early afternoon for a morning slot.
Can children go ATV riding?
Younger children can ride tandem on the back of a parent's or guide's quad. Most operators let teenagers around 15 and up drive their own ATV, sometimes with a signed consent form. Always check the operator's age policy when booking.
Can I combine ATV riding with other activities?
Yes — the Ubud area is built for it. Many people pair ATV with white-water rafting on the Ayung River, a jungle swing or a waterfall visit in the same valley to make a full day of adventure.
Where is ATV riding in Bali and what should I wear?
Almost all ATV tracks are in the Ubud area — Payangan, Tegallalang, Bongkasa and Taro. Wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting muddy, bring a change of clothes, and expect the mud tracks in particular to leave you soaked.
