Full Day ATV Ride, Monkey Forest,Tegalalang Rice Terrace

The best part of this Ubud day is the sharp change of pace: you go from a muddy ATV trail with waterfalls and rough ground to quiet rice terraces, temple paths, and macaques in the Sacred Monkey Forest. I like that private transport keeps the day flexible, and I like that lunch, safety equipment, and entrance fees are already covered.

The main caution is timing. The tour is advertised as about seven hours, but the ATV stop alone can take around three hours, and traffic around Ubud can affect the day. The ATV ride is also described as both 1.5 hours and 2 hours in the supplied details, so confirm the exact riding time when you book.

Key Points to Know Before Booking

• Private touring makes the day easier: Only your group participates, with private transport and pickup offered.
• The ATV ride is the active centerpiece: Expect rugged ground, muddy tracks, waterfalls, and scenic countryside.
• You get four very different stops: ATV adventure, Monkey Forest, Ubud Art Market, and Tegalalang Rice Terrace.
• Lunch and basic tour costs are included: You still pay for personal expenses.
• Guide quality matters: Gede and Cokde are named in the tour feedback as friendly, helpful guides with good photography skills.
• Plan for weather and traffic: Poor weather can lead to a new date or a full refund, while Ubud roads may stretch the schedule.

A Full Ubud Day With Two Very Different Moods

This tour works because it combines Bali’s outdoor thrills with its familiar cultural sights. In one day, you ride an ATV through rough terrain, walk among temple buildings and long-tailed macaques, browse handmade goods, and look down on the famous rice terraces.

That variety is useful if you have limited time in Bali. You do not need to arrange separate transport, entrances, lunch, and an ATV operator. The tradeoff is that the day moves quickly. You will see several well-known Ubud attractions, but you will not have hours at each one.

The experience is private, so your group does not share the main vehicle with other booking groups. That is a real advantage for families or friends with different energy levels. You can ask for a short pause, take photos, or spend a little less time shopping without being tied to a large group schedule.

Pickup is offered, and the vehicle is air-conditioned. In Bali’s heat, that matters. After a wet or dusty ATV ride, an enclosed vehicle gives you a useful break before the next stop.

Pertiwi Adventure and the ATV Ride

The day’s most physical section takes place at Pertiwi Adventure. The ride is described as lasting around 1.5 to 2 hours, while the full stop is listed at about three hours. That longer block likely allows time for arrival, safety preparation, equipment, instruction, and changing before or after the ride.

You receive ATV safety equipment and ride with a professional ATV instructor. The route is designed around rugged ground, muddy trails, waterfalls, and countryside views rather than a smooth sightseeing road. You should expect the surface to be part of the fun. This is not simply a short motor ride for taking photos.

The supplied description calls it a two-hour ATV ride in the inclusions, but the overview says 1.5 hours. Because those times do not match, ask the operator to confirm the riding period before you pay. The difference may be small, but it matters if the ATV is your main reason for booking.

The ride suits people who want some action but still want a guided experience. You do not need to arrange your own bike, route, or safety equipment. The instructor is there to manage the ride and help you handle the course.

The activity may be especially appealing to families with older children. One account specifically describes children enjoying the track. Still, the tour states that most people can participate, not that every age or physical condition is suitable. If you have concerns about riding an ATV, muddy ground, or uneven trails, ask the operator before booking.

Wear clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty. That advice follows directly from the route description. The tour includes safety equipment, but it does not list personal clothing, towels, or other personal items as included. Personal expenses are excluded, so bring money for anything beyond the supplied services.

The ATV ride provides the day’s biggest contrast with the later stops. You will trade engine noise and wet trails for temple paths and rice terraces. That change gives the tour more range than a standard Ubud sightseeing loop.

Sacred Monkey Forest: Temple Paths and Macaques

After the ATV activity, the tour continues to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This is both a nature reserve and a temple complex, so the visit is not only about seeing monkeys. You also walk through a wooded setting with ancient temple structures and established paths.

The information supplied gives two different macaque counts, approximately 340 in the itinerary and more than 700 in the wider description. Treat the numbers as approximate rather than exact. The important point is that the sanctuary is home to a large population of long-tailed macaques in a natural setting.

You are scheduled to spend about two hours here. That is enough time to walk through the forest and see the temple areas without making the stop feel rushed. It also gives you a chance to slow down after the ATV ride.

The monkeys are a major attraction, but remember that they are wild animals in a managed sanctuary. Keep your attention on your belongings and follow the local instructions. The tour information does not promise a particular type of animal interaction, so approach the stop as a chance to observe macaques in their habitat rather than as a guaranteed photo opportunity.

The supplied feedback gives special attention to taking photos here, and one guide is praised for photography skills. Gede is described as friendly and funny, while Cokde is described as helpful and good at explaining the places visited. Those names may help you request a preferred guide, but the tour does not guarantee that either person will lead your booking.

This stop adds cultural context to the day. You are not simply visiting a green park with monkeys. You are also seeing a temple complex that is part of Ubud’s spiritual identity. The combination of forest, stone structures, and macaques makes this a more layered stop than a quick wildlife viewing point.

Ubud Art Market for Browsing and Bargaining

The Ubud Art Market is scheduled for one hour. That is enough for a look around, but not enough for a slow shopping session if you want to inspect every stall.

The market is known for its organized chaos and wide selection of tourist goods. You may find items connected with Bali’s craft traditions, along with clothing, souvenirs, decorative pieces, and gifts. The supplied information does not promise any particular product, so go with an open mind rather than a shopping list.

I like having the market included because it breaks up the outdoor activities. After the ATV ride and Monkey Forest, you get time to walk, browse, and find something small to take home. The private format can also help if your group wants to spend the hour differently, though the stated schedule gives you about 60 minutes.

The drawback is that a market stop can feel less personal than visiting a working village or craft studio. This tour presents the Ubud Art Market as a convenient shopping stop, not as a detailed introduction to a particular local craft. If you enjoy browsing, it adds flavor. If shopping is not your thing, it may be the easiest part of the day to shorten.

Use the time to compare prices and decide carefully. Personal expenses are not included, and purchases are your responsibility. The tour price covers the scheduled experience, not anything you buy at the market.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace and the Green Valley Views

Tegalalang Rice Terrace is the final major sightseeing stop, with about one hour scheduled. The terraces sit in a valley and offer broad views across stepped rice fields and surrounding greenery.

This is the quietest part of the day. After the noise and movement of the ATV, the terraces give you a chance to take photos and look across the valley. The area is part of the group of especially scenic terraced areas around Ubud, along with sites near Pejeng and Campuhan.

One hour is enough for a focused visit and photographs, but it is not a long walk through every section of the terraces. The tour does not specify a particular walking route, viewpoint, or extra attraction. Your guide can help explain the area and point out good views, but you should not expect an extended agricultural tour.

The terrace stop also helps connect the day’s activities to Bali’s rural setting. You have already seen nature from an ATV and forest paths. Here, you see land shaped for farming and arranged into the familiar stepped pattern associated with Ubud.

The main practical issue is footwear and footing. Rice terraces involve slopes and uneven ground, though the exact walking conditions are not specified. Sensible shoes will make the stop more comfortable, especially after the ATV portion.

Lunch, Transport, and What the Price Covers

The price is $87.95 per person. For a seven-hour private tour, that can be reasonable if you value convenience and want several paid activities in one package.

The price includes:

• Private transportation
• Air-conditioned vehicle
• ATV safety equipment
• Professional ATV instructor
• ATV ride
• Monkey Forest tour
• Tegalalang Rice Terrace visit
• Ubud Art Market stop
• Lunch
• All fees and taxes

This list matters because separate booking can quickly become complicated. You would otherwise need to arrange a vehicle, an ATV operator, safety equipment, site entrances, and food. The private vehicle is particularly useful because the stops are spread across the Ubud area and you avoid coordinating several transfers yourself.

The value is strongest for a small group that wants an active day with cultural sightseeing. Families and friends can divide the cost across the group while keeping the vehicle private. Solo visitors may find the per-person price less attractive, though the package still removes much of the planning work.

Personal expenses are not included. That means shopping, optional purchases, and anything else outside the stated inclusions come from your own budget. The tour also does not list drinks, souvenirs, or personal clothing as included, so do not assume they are covered.

The schedule is listed at about seven hours, but the four stops total seven hours on paper if you count the three-hour ATV visit, two hours at Monkey Forest, one hour at the market, and one hour at Tegalalang. That leaves little room for traffic, meals, pickup, and transitions. In real use, the day may run longer than the headline duration. Keep your evening plans flexible.

Which Kind of Day Does This Suit?

I would choose this tour if you want to cover several major Ubud sights without arranging each part yourself. It suits active couples, families with participating children, and small groups that want their own vehicle.

It is also a good fit if you want more than temples and viewpoints. The ATV ride adds physical activity, while the Monkey Forest and rice terraces provide quieter scenery. The mix keeps the day from feeling repetitive.

You may want another type of Ubud tour if you prefer slow cultural visits, long walks, or detailed time at one site. This schedule is built around variety. You will get a taste of several places rather than a deep visit to one.

The ATV section deserves special attention when deciding. If you are excited by muddy trails and rough terrain, it may be the part that makes the tour worthwhile. If you dislike motorized adventure, you may spend a large part of the day waiting while others ride.

The private format gives you some control, but it does not turn the day into a fully open schedule. The advertised stops and approximate times shape the experience. Ask ahead if you want to change the order, skip the market, or spend longer at the terraces.

Booking, Weather, and Practical Details

Confirmation is provided at booking. Pickup is offered, and the tour operates as a private activity for your group only.

The experience requires good weather. If poor weather causes cancellation, you can receive a different date or a full refund. You can also cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that 24-hour window are not refunded or accepted.

The tour says most people can participate, but it does not give detailed accessibility information. If anyone in your group has mobility concerns or does not want to ride an ATV, contact Bersinar Bali Tour before booking.

Good guides can make a busy day feel much easier. Gede and Cokde are both named in the available feedback, with Gede noted for his friendly humor and Cokde for helping with photography and explanations. You can ask whether one of them is available, but the provider does not promise a specific guide.

Should You Book This Ubud ATV Tour?

Book it if you want a private, active day that combines the ATV ride with Ubud’s most familiar nature and culture stops. The included vehicle, lunch, equipment, instructor, and entrance costs give the $87.95 price practical value, especially for a small group.

Think twice if you want a slow day or if the ATV ride is not appealing. The schedule is full, the riding time needs clarification, and traffic may make the day longer than seven hours.

For most visitors with limited time in Ubud, this is a useful all-round package. Confirm the ATV duration, ask about pickup details, wear clothes suitable for mud, and leave your evening open. Do that, and you will know exactly what kind of day you are buying.
