Full Day ATV Ride, Monkey Forest,Tegalalang Rice Terrace
Adventure and culture share one busy day. This private Ubud outing combines a muddy ATV ride with the calm green views of Tegalalang Rice Terrace, plus the Sacred Monkey Forest and Ubud Art Market. I like that private transport keeps the day simple, and I like that lunch, safety gear, an instructor, and entrance fees are included. The main consideration is pace: four stops in about seven hours can feel full, especially with driving between Kuta and Ubud.
The ATV section supplies the excitement, while the forest and rice terraces slow things down. Guide names praised in the feedback include Gede and Cokde, with Cokde noted for helpful explanations and strong photography skills. Still, you should expect a packaged day rather than a quiet, slow exploration of Ubud.

Key points to know before booking

- A two-hour ATV session is the day’s main thrill: Expect rugged tracks, muddy paths, waterfalls, and open views, with safety equipment and an instructor provided.
- The private format matters: Only your group takes part, and air-conditioned private transport is included.
- The Sacred Monkey Forest adds temples and nature: Plan on roughly two hours among long-tailed macaques, forest paths, and old temple grounds.
- Tegalalang is a viewpoint stop: You get about an hour for the famous stepped rice fields and surrounding green valley.
- Ubud Art Market keeps the day connected to local craft shopping: The stop lasts about an hour and brings a very different mood from the ATV track.
- The price covers the main costs: At $87.95 per person, lunch, taxes, admissions, transport, equipment, and instruction are included.
What this seven-hour Ubud day is really like
This is designed as a full day from Kuta into the Ubud area, with an air-conditioned vehicle carrying your private group between stops. The schedule gives about three hours at Pertiwi Adventure, two hours at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, one hour at Ubud Art Market, and one hour at Tegalalang Rice Terrace.
That timing suggests the ATV stop includes more than time spent driving. You may need time for arrival, equipment, instruction, and changing before and after the ride. The ride itself is described as 1.5 hours in one part of the information and two hours in the inclusions, so confirm the exact riding time when you book.
The day works best if you want several classic Ubud sights without arranging separate transport. It is less suitable if you prefer long meals, extended shopping, or an unhurried look at one place. You will cover plenty of ground, but you will not have unlimited time at any stop.

Pertiwi Adventure: mud, waterfalls, and an ATV route

The ATV ride is the reason many people will choose this package. The route is described as a mix of rugged terrain, muddy trails, waterfalls, and scenic views. That gives the ride more variety than simply driving a vehicle around a flat track.
You receive ATV safety equipment and guidance from a professional instructor. That matters if you have little or no quad-bike experience. The instructor can help you understand the controls and route before the more demanding sections begin.
The ride has a clear adventure focus. Expect dirt and mud to be part of the fun, not an unexpected nuisance. If you want to finish the day in spotless clothes, pack a change of clothing. This practical point is especially useful because the rest of the day includes temples, market stalls, and scenic photo stops.
The information describes the ride as 1.5 hours in the overview and two hours in the included services. The Pertiwi Adventure stop lasts three hours, so the remaining time likely allows for preparation and the wider ATV facility experience. I would ask the operator to clarify the riding duration, clothing arrangements, and whether towels or showers are supplied, since those details are not specified.
The ATV portion can suit families, and one account specifically describes children enjoying the exciting track. Even so, the requirement is that most participants can take part, not that every age or physical condition is automatically suitable. If anyone in your group has concerns about riding a quad bike, ask before paying.
The strongest practical advantage here is that you are not left to find equipment or a route on your own. The instructor and included safety gear make the activity easier to arrange. The tradeoff is that an organized ATV course is still an organized activity, so this is not a quiet ride through untouched countryside.
Sacred Monkey Forest: macaques, temples, and walking paths

After the motorized part of the day, the Sacred Monkey Forest changes the tempo. This nature reserve and temple complex is home to long-tailed macaques, with the information describing about 340 monkeys in the sanctuary and the wider tour description referring to more than 700. Either figure signals that macaques are central to the experience.
You have about two hours here, enough time to walk the forest paths and see the temple areas without reducing the stop to a quick photo. The setting combines thick woodland, old religious structures, and monkeys moving through their natural surroundings.
The monkeys are appealing subjects for photography, but they are still wild animals. Keep your attention on them and your belongings. The supplied information does not spell out the sanctuary’s current rules, so follow the on-site instructions rather than assuming that touching or feeding the animals is allowed.
This is one of the more culturally grounded parts of the day. You are not only visiting an animal attraction. You are also walking through a temple complex and a protected forest in Ubud. That combination gives the stop more substance than a simple wildlife photo opportunity.
The two-hour visit is generous compared with the one-hour market and rice terrace stops. If the macaques are active and the walking paths interest you, this may become the day’s most memorable section. If you dislike close encounters with monkeys, it could be the least comfortable stop, and you should consider that before booking.
Ubud Art Market: one hour for browsing and bargaining

The Ubud Art Market is scheduled for about an hour. That is enough for a look around and perhaps a purchase, but not enough for a slow survey of every stall. The market is described as Ubud’s most popular tourist market, with an organized jumble of goods aimed at visitors.
I would treat this as a browsing stop rather than a major cultural visit. You can look for Bali-style crafts and souvenirs, compare prices, and enjoy a change from the outdoor ATV and forest activities. The hour also keeps shopping from taking over the entire day.
The drawback is simple: market time can disappear quickly. If you enjoy bargaining and want to inspect many items, you may wish for longer. Keep your expectations practical and decide in advance whether you are shopping or simply looking.
Because this is a private tour, you may have more control over how you use the stop than you would in a large shared group. The supplied details do not promise unlimited flexibility, so ask the guide about the order of stops and departure time if shopping is important to you.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace: the day’s calmest view

Tegalalang Rice Terrace brings the most peaceful visual contrast to the muddy ATV route. The fields sit in a valley, with views across stepped rice terraces and the green surroundings. Along with the terraces at Pejeng and Campuhan, Tegalalang is considered one of the most striking terraced areas near Ubud.
You get about one hour here. That is enough to take in the views, walk a little, and take photographs, but it is a short visit for anyone hoping to explore every path or linger over the scenery. The word terrace can make the area sound like one single lookout, but the appeal comes from the layered fields and changing viewpoints.
This stop also gives you a clearer connection to Bali’s agricultural culture. The rice fields are not just a scenic background. They show how cultivated land shapes the countryside around Ubud.
You should expect a popular sightseeing location rather than a remote rural stop. The supplied information does not specify walking distance, entrance arrangements beyond admission being included, or the exact viewpoint used. If mobility or long walks matter to you, ask the operator for current details before booking.
Lunch, transport, and what the $87.95 price covers

At $87.95 per person, the value depends on how many of the included elements you would otherwise pay for separately. The package includes private transportation, an air-conditioned vehicle, lunch, all fees and taxes, ATV safety equipment, an ATV instructor, the ATV ride, Monkey Forest entry, the rice terrace visit, and the Ubud market stop.
That is a useful bundle for a private day. You do not need to arrange a vehicle from Kuta, find an ATV provider, purchase several admissions, or budget separately for lunch. The value improves for a small group that can share the private vehicle and guide service, especially since group discounts are offered.
The price is less compelling if you only want the ATV ride. In that case, a dedicated ATV booking could offer better focus. This package earns its cost by combining adventure, wildlife, temples, shopping, scenery, meals, and transport in one day.
Lunch is included, but the meal type and restaurant are not specified. If you have dietary restrictions, ask the operator before departure. The same applies to pickup timing, since pickup is offered but the supplied details do not give a precise schedule or coverage area.
The tour is booked about 13 days ahead on average, which suggests you should not leave it until the last moment if your Bali dates are fixed. Confirmation is provided at booking, and the activity is private, so only your own group participates.
The guide can shape the whole day

A day with four stops depends heavily on the guide’s timing and attitude. The most useful guide feedback here points to Gede as friendly and funny, and Cokde as helpful, good at explaining the places visited, and skilled with photographs.
Those details matter. A guide who can explain the forest and rice terraces adds meaning to the stops, while someone who can take good photos helps when you are traveling with a group and want everyone in the picture. A warm personality also makes a long day in the vehicle easier.
The experience provider is Bersinar Bali Tour. You can request Gede or Cokde by name, but the supplied information does not guarantee that either guide will be assigned. It is worth asking at booking if one of them is available.
Who should book this Bali experience?

I would recommend this for couples, families, and small private groups who want a packed day with both action and sightseeing. It suits you especially well if you like the idea of getting muddy in the morning and taking rice terrace photographs later.
Families may appreciate the range of activities, and the available feedback specifically describes children enjoying the ATV track. Still, check age and physical requirements directly, since the general information only says most participants can take part.
This tour is also a good fit if transport planning is not your favorite part of Bali travel. Pickup, private transportation, a driver, lunch, admissions, equipment, and instruction are handled in one booking.
I would hesitate if you want a slow, deeply focused Ubud day. One hour at the market and one hour at Tegalalang leave little room for lingering. You should also think carefully about the ATV if you dislike mud, physical activity, or close contact with wild macaques.
Booking, weather, and cancellation advice
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund.
Good weather is required. If poor conditions force cancellation, you will be offered another date or a full refund. That makes the experience easier to book during an uncertain weather period, but you should still avoid placing it on the final day of your Bali stay.
The tour lasts about seven hours, and the schedule includes four major stops. Keep the day open rather than adding another fixed appointment afterward. Confirmation arrives at the time of booking, and a mobile ticket is provided.
Final verdict: a strong choice for an active Ubud day
Book this tour if you want one private package that joins a genuine dose of ATV action with Ubud’s best-known nature and cultural stops. The included transport, lunch, admissions, equipment, and instructor make $87.95 a fair price for a full day, particularly for a small group.
Skip it if your priority is a relaxed rice terrace visit or a long, thoughtful tour of Ubud’s temples and markets. The schedule is active and tightly packed. For the right person, though, the mix works: mud and waterfalls first, macaques and temples next, then shopping and broad green views to finish.
