Fast rides meet cool river water. This six-hour Bali adventure pairs Ayung River white-water rafting with an ATV ride through rice paddies and countryside near Kuta. You get a full day of action, lunch, safety gear, changing facilities, and an air-conditioned vehicle for $48.56 per person.

I like the strong value and the small maximum group of six, which can make the day feel more personal. I also like the choice between a solo or tandem ATV, plus the chance to cool off near waterfalls during the rafting section. The main consideration is logistics: the listed starting point is in Sedang, so you should confirm whether your booking includes hotel pickup or requires you to reach the meeting point yourself.

Key points at a glance

  • Two very different activities in one day: Paddle the Ayung River, then trade the raft for an ATV and muddy countryside tracks.
  • Small group limit: The activity accepts a maximum of six people, useful if you prefer less waiting and closer contact with the guides.
  • Solo or tandem ATV: You can ride alone or share one vehicle with another person.
  • Lunch and changing facilities included: A buffet lunch, shower room, and changing room make the wet and dusty schedule easier to manage.
  • Good value at $48.56: Transport, bottled water, lunch, and safety equipment are included, though hotel transfer details need checking.
  • Strong satisfaction record: The experience has a 5 out of 5 rating from 67 reviews, with 100 percent recommending it.

Why combine rafting and ATVs near Kuta?

Bali offers plenty of activity days, but many focus on just one pursuit. This one gives you two kinds of motion in roughly six hours. The Ayung River brings water, rocks, riverbanks, and waterfalls. The ATV portion shifts inland to rice paddies and rougher ground, where the fun comes from steering, bumps, and mud rather than scenery alone.

I like that the two halves feel distinct. Rafting is a shared effort, with a guide helping you handle the river. ATV riding is more direct. You put on the helmet and boots, choose a solo or tandem setup, and follow a guide through the countryside.

That mix suits you if sitting through a long sightseeing day sounds dull. It also works well for friends, couples, and families who want one active outing rather than several separate bookings. The schedule is not designed for quiet cultural exploration, though. The focus is speed, water, dirt, and outdoor fun.

The price is another reason to consider it. At $48.56 per person, the package includes lunch, bottled water, safety equipment, an air-conditioned vehicle, and access to a shower and changing room. Those inclusions matter because buying transport, food, and activities separately can quickly cost more. Still, check the pickup arrangement before paying, since hotel transfers appear to depend on the booking option.

Starting at All New Bali Adventure

The listed meeting point is All New Bali Adventure on Jl. Raya Krasan, Sedang, in Abiansemal, Badung Regency. The activity ends back at this same meeting point. That makes the day simple if you are staying nearby or arrange your own transport, but less convenient if you are based in Kuta and assume a transfer is automatically included.

An air-conditioned vehicle is included. The information also says pickup is offered, and the overview refers to an upgrade that includes hotel transfers. Treat those as two separate things to confirm. Before booking, check the exact pickup area, any extra cost, and whether your selected rate includes door-to-door service.

The small group limit is one of the more useful details here. With no more than six people, you are less likely to spend the day in a large convoy. A smaller group can also make instructions easier to hear and reduce the amount of time spent waiting for others to catch up.

One past booking included a friendly driver named Gday, who was praised for working around the group’s needs and interests. That suggests the transport side can feel flexible, but you should not assume that the same person will be assigned to every departure.

Rafting the Ayung River

The first major activity takes you onto the Ayung River with a rafting guide. The route includes hidden waterfalls and refreshing water, so this is not simply a fast ride through rapids. You can expect a mix of paddling, river scenery, and moments when the group gets close to the water.

The guide is important here. White-water rafting is more enjoyable when someone gives clear directions and helps the group respond to the river. You do not need to manage the whole route alone, since the rafting portion is guided.

The description promises bumps and a chance to cool off in the river. That makes this section a good fit for you if you want physical activity without needing advanced rafting skills. At the same time, river conditions can affect how the ride feels. The supplied information does not give a rapid grade, water level, or exact route, so do not book this expecting a specific level of intensity.

The waterfall stops add variety. You are not just looking down at the river from a road or viewpoint. You get close enough to enjoy the water, and the wet setting provides a useful contrast to the dusty ATV section later.

Wear clothing that can get wet. The operator specifically asks you to bring a change of clothes, and that advice is worth following. Sunscreen and a camera are also on the suggested packing list. Keep the camera secure around the river, since splashes and movement are part of the activity.

Lunch, showers, and a useful reset

After rafting, the schedule includes a buffet lunch. That is a practical inclusion, not just a nice extra. A morning or early afternoon of paddling can leave you hungry, and having food arranged means you do not need to find a restaurant between activities.

The buffet format also suits a small mixed group, since people can choose what they want and eat at their own pace. The menu is not specified, so you should not book this expecting a particular dish or dietary arrangement. If you have special food needs, ask the operator before departure.

The shower room and changing room are especially helpful on this particular combination. You may come out of the rafting section wet, then need to change before putting on ATV gear. After riding through the countryside, you may want another wash before returning to your hotel.

Bring a full change of clothes rather than just a spare shirt. You may also want a small bag for wet items, though the provided information does not state what storage is available. The most useful approach is to pack simply and keep anything that cannot get wet away from the active portions.

ATV riding through rice paddies

The second half trades paddles for handlebars. After lunch, you put on a helmet and boots and follow a guide through Bali’s countryside. The route includes rice paddies, bumps, and rougher sections, so the appeal comes from controlling the vehicle rather than merely sitting in a car and watching the view.

You can choose a solo or tandem ATV. Solo riding gives you full control and may suit someone who wants the most active option. Tandem riding makes sense if you would rather share the vehicle or if one person in your group does not want to drive alone.

The guide remains part of the experience. You are not being sent off without direction, and the description specifically says the guide helps you through the route. That matters on uneven ground, where clear instructions can make the ride feel more manageable.

The ATV section is likely to be dusty or muddy, even though the exact conditions are not stated. Wear clothes and shoes you can dirty. The included boots and helmet reduce the amount of specialist gear you need to bring, but they do not keep every part of you clean. This is an activity day, not a white-shirt outing.

The rice paddies give the ride a more local setting than a closed indoor track. You are moving through working countryside rather than circling a small artificial course. Still, the experience is built around riding. If your main goal is to photograph rural Bali at a slow pace, the ATV may feel too quick.

How much value do you get for $48.56?

The strongest financial point is the number of elements packed into one booking. For $48.56, you receive the rafting activity, ATV ride, lunch, bottled water, safety equipment, an air-conditioned vehicle, and use of shower and changing rooms. That is a solid package for a six-hour day.

The value improves if you would otherwise need to arrange separate transport and meals. It also improves for people who genuinely want both activities. If you only care about rafting or only want to ride an ATV, a combo may not be the best use of your money or time.

The price does not include a DVD video. That may not matter to you, especially if you plan to bring your own camera. If a professionally recorded keepsake is important, budget for it separately, assuming it is available for purchase.

Hotel transfer details are the biggest value question. Pickup is offered, but the listed meeting point is in Sedang, and the overview describes hotel transport as an upgrade. Confirm this before booking. A low headline price can feel less attractive if you must arrange a long taxi ride to the starting point.

Group discounts are also listed as a feature. The supplied details do not explain the discount level or the required number of people, so ask for the exact terms if you are booking for a larger party. The maximum group size of six may limit how that offer applies.

Who will enjoy this day most?

I would point this activity toward you if you want a high-energy Bali outing with very little idle time. It suits friends who want to compare driving skills, couples who like shared activities, and families whose members can participate in the rafting and ATV portions.

The tandem option helps groups with mixed confidence. One person can handle the driving while another rides along, though the supplied details do not explain age, height, or driving requirements. Ask the operator about those rules before booking for children or anyone with limited riding experience.

The activity may also suit you if you value convenience. Lunch, water, gear, showers, and changing rooms are all handled within the package. A small group of up to six is another plus for people who dislike large organized outings.

I would be more cautious if you dislike getting wet, muddy, or physically active. The combination is built around river water and outdoor riding. It is also not ideal if your priority is temples, food, crafts, or long quiet stops. Those are not part of the stated schedule.

Most travelers can participate, according to the activity information. That is a broad statement rather than a detailed fitness guide, so use common sense. If you have concerns about rafting, ATV driving, or strenuous movement, contact the provider before booking.

Practical packing advice for a wet and dusty day

Bring sunscreen, a camera, and a change of clothes, as specifically requested by the operator. I would make the clothing practical: quick-drying items for the river and clothes you do not mind getting dirty for the ATV ride.

Your footwear matters less because boots are included for the ATV section, but you should still avoid delicate shoes for the rest of the day. Bottled water is provided, so you do not need to plan around buying drinking water during the activity.

The shower and changing rooms mean you can finish in better shape than you might expect from a rafting and ATV combo. Even so, pack your change of clothes in a way that keeps it dry until you need it.

A camera can help you record the waterfalls and countryside, but protect it around the river. The information does not specify whether action cameras, lockers, or video packages are included. The DVD video is not included, so do not assume a recorded version comes with the price.

Booking, cancellations, and timing

The activity lasts approximately six hours, so leave enough room around it for transport to and from the meeting point. If you book a hotel transfer, confirm the pickup time and location directly. If you travel to All New Bali Adventure yourself, allow extra time to reach Sedang.

Confirmation is provided at booking. The activity requires a minimum number of participants, so a departure can be canceled if that number is not reached. In that case, you are offered another date or experience, or a full refund.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the local start time. If you cancel or request changes within 24 hours, you may not receive a refund, and changes are not accepted. This matters if your Bali schedule is still shifting.

The 62-day average advance booking figure suggests that many people reserve well ahead. You do not necessarily need to copy that timing, but booking early is sensible if your dates are fixed and you want to make sure the combo fits your schedule.

Should you book Bali ATV Ride and White Water Rafting?

I would book this experience if you want two active Bali highlights in one reasonably priced half-day. The combination of Ayung River rafting, waterfall stops, rice-paddy ATV riding, lunch, safety gear, and changing facilities gives you plenty for $48.56.

Before you commit, confirm three things: the exact pickup arrangement, the ATV age or driving rules, and the day’s start time. The listed meeting point is not in central Kuta, and hotel transfers may cost extra.

Choose the tandem ATV if you prefer to share the ride, or solo if controlling your own machine is part of the appeal. With a maximum of six people and a perfect 5 out of 5 rating from 67 reviews, this is a strong choice for an action-focused day, as long as you are ready to get wet, dusty, and happily tired.
