Full-Day Bali Quad Biking and Ayung River Rafting in Ubud
Combine two contrasting thrills in one day: aggressive quad tracks through rice terraces and guided white‑water on the Ayung River. This full‑day Ubud outing balances adrenaline with local landscape and practical safety support.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the tour
Bring a full water bottle or buy bottled water at basecamp — you’ll lose fluids on the quad and during physical rafting.
Wear quick‑dry, layered clothing
Choose moisture-wicking shirts and a light outer layer for muddy or rainy patches; a swimsuit under your clothes speeds transitions.
Secure electronics in a waterproof bag
Rafting guides provide waterproof bags but bring extra protection for phones and cameras and attach them securely to you.
Plan for transfer times
Allow extra time for hotel pickup from Kuta/Seminyak — expect 1–1.5 hours each way in typical traffic.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Operators often run river cleanups and encourage minimal waste; support guides and avoid single‑use plastics to protect river health and local waterways.
The region’s terraces reflect Bali’s centuries‑old subak irrigation system, a community‑managed water sharing tradition that shaped local agriculture and settlement patterns.
