the hours laid out
What a ride-and-raft day holds, hour by hour
The operator emails the details a day before, and hotel pickup is an option you choose when you book; without it you go to the meeting point yourself. The quad ride comes first and runs about 1.5 hours, on a tandem ATV with a companion or on one of your own.
Between the two halves there is a shower, a move to the river and a hike of 15 to 20 minutes down a hill in water shoes or flip-flops. The rafting then takes about 2.5 hours, and a meal of fried rice or noodles follows, after the walk back up and another shower.
The listing shows 3 to 8 hours by option, so check the start time and the pickup against the rest of your day. Expect lockers, safety gear, towels and showers on site, and the outing goes ahead whatever the weather.

why ubud
What makes Ubud a handy base for quad riding
The name Ubud comes from the Balinese word ubad, medicine, for the medicinal plants and herbs of the area, and the town sits in the central part of the island. It is a place where jungle, rice fields and rivers start at the edge of the streets.
The Ayung, the widest and longest river in Bali, flows at Kedewatan, about a 20 minute drive from Ubud. That closeness is what lets one outing hold a ride and a river without a long drive in between.
Ubud itself is small and hilly, and the tourism ministry says you can get around on foot or by hired bicycle or motorbike. Staying in or near town keeps the early start easy, which matters for a day that can run to 8 hours.

Rafting the Ayung with a guide on board
The ministry describes the white-water route as 10 km, taking 1.5 to 2 hours, past rainforest, rice fields, carved stone walls and waterfalls. Our listing puts the rafting at about 2.5 hours.
Each raft carries safety gear, preliminary skills training on basic maneuvers and an experienced guide on board, the ministry says. International Rafting Federation guide trainers coach a simple routine for a fall: stay cheerful, keep your paddle and swim back.
Australia's Smartraveller includes rafting on its list of risky adventure activities in Indonesia and advises always using the safety gear available. Listen to the talk, wear the life jacket as it is adjusted and say so if you are a weak swimmer.

dry or wet
Choosing a month for the Ayung
The tourism ministry puts Bali's dry season at April through October and the wet season at November through March, with a warning that a warming climate has made both less predictable.
The river follows the rain. The ministry grades the Ayung II to III when dry, with rough patches and small drops but no considerable danger, and IV when the rains raise the water, with medium-large waves.
Rain in Denpasar averages 27.6 mm in July and 350.7 mm in January in the Japan Meteorological Agency's normals. Because the listing runs rain or shine, the month changes the river and the mud rather than the plan.

What keeps coming up in rider notes
In the newest reviews on file, riders write most about the people. Drivers who collected them, guides on the quads and guides on the raft are praised by name, and one reviewer says the guide explained Balinese history and culture calmly and clearly.
The rafting gets the strongest words, with one rider calling it fantastic and another saying the scenery was beautiful and the day full of excitement. The meal gets a mention too, with noodles and rice described as a bonus.
The reviews are not all glowing. One rider found the ATV part a little dull on a plain terrain, and another mentions waiting before the rafting and a truck ride to the river that was longer than expected. We keep those in view because they are useful to a first-timer.

the quad half
The quad bike half, and how to share it
You can ride a tandem ATV with a companion or drive a quad of your own. On a tandem party that has an odd number of riders, the odd one out rides solo and pays an extra on-site charge, so settle your pairs before you pay.
The tracks are muddy and wet, and lockers, safety gear, towels and showers are provided on site. The US safety commission lists a helmet plus eye cover, boots, gloves, long trousers and a long-sleeved top.
It adds that most ATVs are built for a single rider, and that you should never carry more passengers than there are seats. Ask the staff at the base to show you how the tandem seat works before the engine starts.

The river you will raft
The Ayung is the widest and longest river in Bali.
From the northern mountains it flows 75 km to the Badung Strait at Sanur, and the rafting uses a 10 km white-water stretch.
the steep part
The walk down, and the walk back up
The listing describes a hill to hike down and up for the rafting, 15 to 20 minutes each way, and water shoes or flip-flops are a must. Indonesia Travel notes that operators differ in where they start and finish, and so does the walk before and after the rafting.
A different Ayung listing on this platform tells guests to be in good physical condition for the steps to the river and to wear water shoes for that walk. If a knee or a back is a worry, ask the operator what the climb involves before you book.
Pack the dry change of clothes where you can reach it, and keep valuables in the locker. Showers are provided after the river, and the meal comes once you are back up the hill.

Our pick among the ATV rides near Ubud is a combined day: a quad bike ride of about 1.5 hours through jungle, rice paddies and puddles, then about 2.5 hours rafting the Ayung River, with fried rice or noodles afterward. Riders have rated it 4.85 across 6,509 reviews, and prices begin at $16.

packing notes
Clothes, shoes and a small dry bag
Bring comfortable clothes you do not mind getting muddy, and a change for afterward; the listing says the tracks are muddy and wet. Plan on water shoes or flip-flops for the river leg; the listing makes them mandatory.
Sobek, an Ayung operator, lists quick-dry clothing and swimwear, secure water shoes or sports sandals, waterproof sunscreen and a change of clothes, and provides a waterproof bag for belongings during the rafting.
Mosquitoes bite most in the early morning and late afternoon, and Smartraveller's advice is repellent, long, loose, pale clothing and closed shoes. A morning start puts you in that window, so a little repellent is sensible.

who should ask first
Who will enjoy this day, and who ought to check first
It suits travelers who want a river and quads in one booking, who are happy to be wet and muddy and who can manage a hill. Age rules sit with each operator: Indonesia Travel says children from 9 up to adults of 65 may join an Ayung trip, and each organizer's terms may differ.
The details we hold for this listing do not state an age or weight limit, so ask the operator through the booking page before you plan around a young child. Smartraveller also advises checking that your insurance covers adventure activities and asking about safety and rescue procedures.
Do not assume your policy covers adventure or high-risk activities, and remember that Indonesia expects tourists to cover every medical cost themselves, hospital stays and evacuation included. A phone call to your insurer before you book is cheap.

Reading the price and the free-cancel promise
The combined day starts from $16, a from-price that moves with the option you pick. An ATV-only listing starts from $22 and an Ayung rafting-only listing from $26, for different options and operators.
Cancelling is free until 24 hours before the start, and the listing also lets you reserve now and pay later. It is a low-risk way to hold a date while you check the forecast and your plans.
On the day, an odd-numbered tandem party pays an extra on-site charge, and photo services at the river are an optional purchase with some operators. Carry a little cash in rupiah for anything you decide to add.

What else to do on the days around it
The Sacred Monkey Forest reserve, Ubud welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM, last entrance at 5:00 PM, and food and drink may not be taken inside. The Tegallalang rice terraces are about a 20 minute drive north of Ubud.
Tirta Empul has a bathing pool fed by 30 spouts, and the melukat cleansing ritual is open to visitors. Tegenungan waterfall has a natural pool beneath it for a swim or a paddle.
Our things-to-do page sorts these by the kind of day you want, with a map, and the price and safety pages answer the questions that come before a booking. A quiet temple morning is a good counterweight to a loud, muddy one.
