Full Day ATV Ride, Monkey Forest,Tegalalang Rice Terrace

The best part of this Ubud day trip is the sharp change of pace. You begin with a muddy ATV adventure through rough tracks, water, and countryside, then trade your helmet for a walk among temple ruins and long-tailed macaques. It gives you action, nature, and culture in one busy day.

I like the private transport, which keeps the day limited to your own group, and I like the mix of included stops. Lunch, safety gear, an instructor, entrance fees, and an air-conditioned vehicle are all covered. Guides named Gede and Cokde have been praised for being friendly, helpful, and good with photographs.

The main caution is the schedule. Seven hours is a lot to pack in, and the ATV portion is described as both 1.5 and 2 hours, with about three hours allocated to the ATV stop. Expect an energetic outing rather than a slow, quiet day in Ubud.

Key points at a glance

• ATV riding comes first: Expect rugged tracks, muddy sections, waterfalls, and scenic rural views with a professional instructor and safety equipment.
• The tour is private: Only your group participates, with private transportation from the Kuta area.
• Monkey Forest includes temples and trails: The sanctuary is home to long-tailed macaques, with time to walk through the forest and temple grounds.
• Tegalalang offers classic Ubud scenery: Rice terraces sit in a valley with broad views over green fields.
• Ubud Art Market adds shopping time: You get about an hour to browse one of Ubud’s best-known markets.
• The price covers useful extras: At $87.95 per person, lunch, fees, transport, ATV equipment, and the instructor are included.

Starting with mud, speed, and Bali countryside

The day begins at Pertiwi Adventure, where the main physical activity takes place. The ATV ride is the reason to choose this package over a standard Ubud sightseeing tour. You are not simply driven from one photo stop to another. You spend a substantial part of the morning or day handling a quad bike on rough ground.

The route is described as including rugged terrain, muddy trails, waterfalls, and scenic views. That combination matters. A ride on a smooth paved road would add little to a Bali itinerary, but a rough-track route gives the day a real sense of adventure. You should expect dirt and splashes, not a polished amusement-park ride.

A professional ATV instructor is included, along with safety equipment. The instructor is there to guide the ride and help you manage the route, which makes this more approachable for people who want an active experience without arranging an ATV outing on their own.

There is a small timing inconsistency in the supplied details. The overview describes a 1.5-hour ride, while the inclusions list a two-hour ATV ride. The itinerary gives the whole ATV stop three hours, likely allowing time for arrival, instruction, equipment, and the ride itself. I would treat the actual riding time as roughly 1.5 to 2 hours rather than planning around one exact figure.

What the ATV section means for you

This is the most demanding part of the day. The attraction is physical and messy, so wear clothing and shoes you can afford to get dirty. The tour information confirms muddy conditions, but it does not specify changing rooms, lockers, or shower facilities, so you should not count on those services unless the operator confirms them before departure.

The ride suits families with children according to the available feedback, but the broad statement that most people can participate is not the same as a promise that every participant can ride. The package does not provide a detailed age, weight, medical, or driving requirement. If anyone in your group has mobility concerns or is unsure about operating an ATV, ask Bersinar Bali Tour before booking.

The instructor is one of the useful parts of this arrangement. You are not left to figure out the route alone. That said, the tour description does not promise a private ATV for every person, nor does it explain the driving format. Ask if you need to know how many people share a vehicle or if you prefer to ride alone.

Monkey Forest, where temples share space with macaques

After the ATV ride, the tour moves to Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud. This is more than a wildlife stop. The forest is also a temple complex, with walking paths and old religious structures set among the trees.

The supplied information gives two different monkey counts: approximately 340 macaques in the stop description and more than 700 in the general overview. The important point is that you will be visiting a natural sanctuary known for grey long-tailed macaques, not a small animal enclosure.

You get about two hours here, which is a useful amount of time. It allows you to walk rather than rush through one viewpoint, look at the temple areas, and watch the monkeys in their setting. The route may feel quite different from the ATV stop. After noise, mud, and speed, the forest provides a slower hour or two.

You should treat the macaques as wild animals. The information provided does not list specific feeding or photography rules, so follow the sanctuary’s posted instructions and your guide’s directions. The fact that the tour includes a Monkey Forest guide or tour element makes the stop easier to understand than a quick photo visit.

Photography is part of the appeal. Cokde is specifically praised for his photography skills, while Gede is described as friendly, funny, and attentive to the group. If you want help taking pictures, mention this early in the day rather than waiting until the final stop.

Ubud Art Market for a one-hour browse

The Ubud Art Market adds a different kind of stop. You receive about an hour to look through one of Ubud’s best-known shopping areas, described as an organized but chaotic place to find souvenirs and local goods.

An hour is enough for a quick look, but not enough for a long, relaxed shopping session. That can be a benefit. If markets are not your main interest, you are unlikely to lose half a day here. If you enjoy browsing, bargaining, and comparing handmade items, you may wish the stop were longer.

The tour information does not specify what purchases are available or whether shopping is required. The market is simply part of the route, and personal expenses are not included. Bring a separate budget if you want to buy anything. Since lunch and entrance fees are included but shopping is not, this is one of the few clear places where your final spending can rise above the tour price.

The market also gives you a quick look at Ubud’s commercial side. It is less quiet and natural than the rice terraces, but that contrast helps you see more than one version of the town in a single day.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace and the green valley views

The final major stop is Tegalalang Rice Terrace, one of the best-known scenic areas near Ubud. The terraces sit in a valley, creating layered views across cultivated fields and surrounding greenery. The stop is scheduled for about an hour.

This is a photo-friendly part of the day, but it is not only about taking a picture from the roadside. The rice fields show how farming has shaped the area’s appearance and daily life. The information also places Tegalalang among three especially scenic terraced areas in the Ubud region, along with fields near Pejeng and Campuhan.

An hour gives you time to take in the views and walk around the designated area, but it is still a short visit. The tour does not specify a longer farm walk, a local farmer meeting, or a particular viewpoint. You should see this as a focused scenic stop rather than a detailed agricultural tour.

The terrain at a rice terrace can include steps and uneven paths, but the supplied details do not give formal accessibility information. If someone in your party needs a specific surface or has difficulty walking, contact the provider before booking. The broad participation note is helpful, but it does not explain the exact walking conditions.

How the day flows from Kuta to Ubud

The package includes pickup, private transportation, and an air-conditioned vehicle. Those details matter in Bali, where a full-day route can feel tiring if you are dependent on complicated transfers. You can travel with only your own group instead of joining a large coach.

The tour is listed at about seven hours. That includes the ATV stop, Monkey Forest, the market, Tegalalang, transport between locations, and lunch. The listed stop durations add up to seven hours on their own: three hours at the ATV center, two hours at Monkey Forest, one hour at the market, and one hour at the rice terrace. Actual pickup and return timing may therefore vary depending on your starting point and road conditions.

The pickup location is given as Kuta, Indonesia, but the details do not name every hotel area served. Confirm your pickup point and start time after booking. Confirmation is provided at the time of booking, so check those details carefully.

Because the outing is private, you have a better chance of keeping the pace comfortable for your own group. The tour still follows a packed plan, but a private vehicle is more flexible than a shared bus. It also means the price should be judged against the total package, not only the ATV ride.

Is $87.95 a fair price?

At $87.95 per person, this is not the cheapest way to visit one Ubud attraction. It is a reasonable package price if you want several elements handled together: private transport, an ATV ride, entrance fees, lunch, safety equipment, an instructor, Monkey Forest, Tegalalang, and the Ubud market.

The value is strongest for a small group that would otherwise need to arrange separate transport and tickets. Private transport can also make the price easier to justify because the group is not paying only for admission to a single site.

The value is weaker if you want a long ATV session, a slow visit to the rice fields, or plenty of free time in Ubud. The day is designed for variety. You pay for moving between several experiences, not for spending most of the day at one location.

Group discounts are available, though no discount amount is provided. If you are booking for several people, check the final rate before comparing it with separate tours. Lunch is included, but personal expenses are not, so keep money aside for market purchases or other items not listed in the package.

Guides who can shape the day

The available feedback gives two guide names: Gede and Cokde. Gede is described as friendly, funny, and willing to go out of his way to help. Cokde is praised for being helpful, explaining the places visited, and taking good photographs.

Those details are useful because a day with four stops depends heavily on coordination. A guide who explains the sites and helps with photos adds value beyond driving. It is worth requesting one of these guides if the operator allows guide requests, but the tour information does not guarantee that either person will lead your booking.

The provider is Bersinar Bali Tour. The package also identifies Pertiwi Adventure as the ATV stop. That distinction is worth noting if you have questions about driving arrangements, safety equipment, or the precise riding time. Bersinar Bali Tour handles the overall day, while the ATV activity is delivered at the adventure center.

Who should book this Ubud day trip?

I would recommend it most strongly to you if you want a high-energy first look at Ubud. The package covers adventure, wildlife, temples, shopping, farming scenery, lunch, and transport without requiring you to coordinate each piece.

It works well for couples, families, and private groups that enjoy a full schedule. The available feedback specifically describes children enjoying the ATV ride, though you should still confirm any age or participation rules that matter to your family.

It is less suited to you if your idea of a good Bali day means quiet temple visits, long meals, or unhurried time among rice fields. The schedule is active, and the ATV ride can leave you muddy and tired before the cultural stops begin.

It may also be a poor fit if you dislike driving quad bikes, uneven terrain, or wildlife encounters. The tour includes safety equipment and an instructor, but those features do not turn a rough ATV track into a gentle sightseeing ride.

Booking details worth checking

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations made inside that window are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted.

The experience requires good weather. If poor weather causes the operator to cancel, you are offered another date or a full refund. Since the ATV section includes muddy outdoor tracks and the rice terrace is also an open-air stop, weather can affect the day in a practical way.

Mobile tickets are available, and confirmation arrives at booking. Most people can participate, but specific accessibility, medical, age, and ATV driving requirements are not provided. Ask the provider directly if any member of your group needs special arrangements.

Should you book it?

Book this tour if you want one efficient private day that combines ATV action with Ubud’s best-known nature stops. The strongest reasons are the included transport, lunch, equipment, instructor, admission fees, and the chance to see Monkey Forest, Tegalalang, and the market without arranging separate rides.

Skip it if you want a slow cultural day or a specialist ATV tour with a clearly guaranteed two-hour ride. The schedule is full, the riding time is described inconsistently, and personal shopping costs are extra.

For most active first-time visitors based in Kuta, the package offers a practical balance. Just confirm the ATV duration, pickup details, and participation rules before paying, then bring clothes that can handle mud and leave room in your day for a little tiredness on the ride home.
