Quad bikes, lake springs, and monkeys in one day. You’ll ride a 250cc jungle ATV and then unwind at Taman Mumbul with spring water.

The only real catch is that Sangeh Monkey Forest and Taman Mumbul admission tickets are not included, so you should budget a bit extra for entry fees. The rest of the package is built around making the day feel easy, including hotel pickup and a buffet lunch.

With a roughly 6-hour schedule and private-group format, this is a good “do three highlights in one go” Bali day.

  • Lunch is included, buffet style with Indonesian food, plus time to shower afterward
  • You get hotel pickup and drop-off across Ubud and several nearby resort areas

Why This Bali Combination Works So Well

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Why This Bali Combination Works So Well
This trip is built like a recipe: adrenaline first, then water, then wildlife. That order matters. After an ATV ride, you’ll feel ready for a shower and a slow-down break, and Mumbul Lake is exactly that reset button.

Then you move to the monkey forest when your legs have recovered a bit. You also get variety without dragging the day into travel marathons. For many people in Ubud, that’s the real value: you can stack major Bali experiences in one afternoon-to-evening block without planning three separate tours.

I especially like that the day includes a buffet lunch and a proper handoff between activities. It turns a chaotic day of coordinating into something you can just follow.

One more plus: the operator Rio Bali Tours, including driver and guide Agung Rio, has been praised for being friendly and attentive, which is the kind of detail that changes the whole vibe when you’re doing something active.

Price and What You Actually Get for Around $53

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Price and What You Actually Get for Around $53
At about $53 per person, this is priced as a combo tour, not three separate tickets and activities. You’re paying for the ATV experience, the driver time, the included lunch, and the on-the-ground guiding that keeps you moving through the day.

Here’s what that money covers (based on what’s included):

  • hotel pickup and drop-off in listed areas
  • air-conditioned transport
  • a professional ATV guide and English-speaking driver/guide
  • buffet lunch (Indonesian food)
  • helmet and boots
  • insurance coverage
  • time for a shower before lunch

What it does not include: entry admissions for Taman Mumbul and Sangeh Monkey Forest. Also, if you want souvenir photo packages from the experience, those are extra.

So the value is strongest if you want the whole flow handled for you. If you already plan to hire a driver and just buy your own entry tickets, this may feel less like a deal. But most people in Bali like the convenience of not having to manage the schedule.

Getting There: Pickup Areas, Private Transport, and Timing

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Getting There: Pickup Areas, Private Transport, and Timing
This runs about 6 hours total. That’s a comfortable length for a full day that doesn’t swallow your entire afternoon.

Pickup is offered from Ubud, Sanur, Denpasar, Kuta, Jimbaran, and Nusa Dua, so it works whether you’re closer to the traditional Ubud scene or staying in a beach area. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle, and the tour is listed as private, meaning it should be just your group.

Time wise, the day breaks down into:

  • ATV ride time (about 2 hours)
  • Taman Mumbul (about 1 hour)
  • Sangeh Monkey Forest (about 1 hour)

Plus the time between stops for transport, changing, and eating.

A practical tip: go in expecting a packed-but-manageable day. You’re not doing deep, slow sightseeing here. You’re doing highlights with enough structure to keep things moving.

Stop 1, Pertiwi Adventure: Jungle ATV on a 250cc Quad

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Stop 1, Pertiwi Adventure: Jungle ATV on a 250cc Quad
This is the main event. At Pertiwi Adventure, you get a jungle track ride on a 250cc quad bike. You’ll have a guide with you, and you’re provided with a helmet and boots. That gear matters because you’re dealing with real outdoor conditions, dust, and uneven ground.

The ride is listed as about 2 hours, which is long enough to feel like you earned the mud and the adrenaline, but not so long that it turns into fatigue city. You also get time for a shower afterward, which is a big quality-of-life detail. After an ATV day, clean-up can be the difference between enjoying the next stop and feeling grim for the monkey forest.

The instruction style seems to be a standout point. In the feedback, an instructor was called out for being super friendly, kind, and attentive, and that kind of guidance helps a first-timer feel safer and more confident fast.

Possible drawback: this is an active ride, so you’ll want to wear practical clothes you can move in. Also remember that photos and add-ons may tempt you once you see your results, so decide in advance if you want that.

Stop 2, Taman Mumbul: Spring Water Relaxation After the Ride

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Stop 2, Taman Mumbul: Spring Water Relaxation After the Ride
After the ATV, you head to Taman Mumbul, which is described as a clear spring water area surrounded by forest with lots of large trees and coconut trees. The point here is to stop moving for a while.

You get about 1 hour at the site. That may sound short, but it fits the tour rhythm. It’s enough time to cool down, enjoy the water setting, and get yourself back to neutral after the ride.

Important detail: admission ticket for Taman Mumbul is not included. So budget for it, and plan for any on-site rules about water use and facilities.

If you’re the type who loves a calm pause in between busy activities, this stop is a good match. If you want long lounging time for photos and wandering, you might feel slightly rushed with the one-hour window.

Stop 3, Sangeh Monkey Forest: Wildlife Time With Clear Rules

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Stop 3, Sangeh Monkey Forest: Wildlife Time With Clear Rules
Finally, you visit Sangeh Monkey Forest, located in Sangeh Village in the Abiansemal District area. It’s described as a protected forest area, so it’s more than a paved attraction. You’re entering a real habitat, and that changes how you should behave.

Your time here is about 1 hour, and the admission ticket is also not included. If you want to reduce friction, have a bit of cash or payment method ready for that entry cost.

This is the stop many people end up talking about. In the feedback, the monkey forest was named a highlight, with monkeys showing up around your visit and the vibe feeling not too hectic. That lines up with why the ATV plus monkey combo works. The monkey forest gives you that Bali “wildlife encounter” feeling without needing a full day tour.

Practical note: keep your belongings secure and handle food and drinks carefully. Even when you think you’re prepared, monkeys can be bold. Simple rules keep the experience fun.

Food, Gear, and Safety Stuff That Makes the Day Easier

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Food, Gear, and Safety Stuff That Makes the Day Easier
This tour is built with comfort and basic safety in mind. You get:

  • helmet and boots for the ATV
  • a professional ATV guide
  • insurance coverage
  • air-conditioned transport
  • an included buffer lunch with Indonesian food
  • time for a shower

The lunch inclusion is a big value point. If you were doing the ATV and lake visits on your own, you’d still end up spending time finding food after you’re sweaty. Here, the schedule accounts for that. You eat, you reset, then you head to Sangeh Monkey Forest.

Vegetarian travelers also have an option. If that’s you, request it at booking.

Souvenir photo add-ons are available to purchase, which is pretty common for ATV days. If you’re trying to keep costs controlled, you can skip those and rely on your own phone photos.

Who Should Book This, and Who Might Think Twice

Bali ATV Combined with Mumbul Lake And Sangeh Monkey Forest - Who Should Book This, and Who Might Think Twice
This tour is ideal if you want:

  • an active Bali morning or early afternoon
  • a structured plan with pickup and drop-off
  • ATV time that includes guidance and gear
  • a scenic pause at a spring-water spot
  • a one-hour monkey forest visit without going full-day safari mode

It’s also a good fit for couples, small groups, and people staying around Ubud who want to hit multiple “must-do” items in one visit. The private-group format makes it feel less like a cattle schedule.

Who might think twice: if you have mobility issues or you’re not comfortable with an ATV ride, this may not feel right. The tour says most people can participate, but the day still includes active riding and getting on and off the quad. If you want slow travel, this is not that. It’s highlights, timed.

Also remember the extra costs. Since entry tickets for Taman Mumbul and Sangeh Monkey Forest are not included, the all-in cost will be higher than the headline price.

Should You Book This ATV Plus Mumbul Lake and Sangeh Monkey Forest Day?

I’d book it if you like action, short nature stops, and a clear plan. The combination makes sense for Ubud visitors who don’t want to spend a day solving logistics. The biggest quality points are the friendly, attentive guidance during the ATV portion and the fact that the monkey forest visit can feel truly lively without taking over your whole day.

I would not book it if you’re trying to keep every cost tightly predictable or if you want long, slow time at the lake and forest. The missing admission tickets are the one part you can’t ignore, and the schedule moves at a highlight pace.

If you do book, pack smart: plan clothes you can get dusty, protect your phone or keep it secure, and treat monkeys with respect. Do that, and you’ll get a fun mix of Bali experiences in one smooth day.
