ATV dust, temple trees, and waterfall views in one day. This Bali mix is a smart hit of off-road fun, then peaceful wildlife and culture in Ubud. It’s built around three solid stops, with transport and tickets handled for you.

What I love most is the way it covers the full day without feeling chaotic. You get the Pertiwi Adventure ATV portion with safety gear and a shower and changing area, then you move on to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and Tegenungan Waterfall with admission included.

One thing to consider: the waterfall time is scheduled short, so your best plan is to go for the main viewpoints and photos, not expect a long swim-and-stay visit.

The Real Value: What You’re Getting for $75.29

Bali ATV Quad Adventure Ubud Monkey Forest and Waterfall - The Real Value: What You’re Getting for $75.29
This tour is priced at $75.29 per person for an approximately 8-hour day, and the value comes from what’s bundled. You’re not just paying for a single activity. You’re getting private transportation, an ATV experience with safety gear, entrance tickets for the Monkey Forest and Tegenungan Waterfall, and a buffet lunch with mineral water.

That matters, because Bali days can get expensive fast once you add up entry fees, car service, and food. Here, bottled water and insurance are included too. Even if you choose a simpler travel style, it cuts down on day-of costs and keeps your schedule from turning into a string of separate errands.

Also note the demand. It’s booked on average about 72 days in advance, which usually means this is a popular combination. If your dates are fixed, I’d treat this as something to book early rather than last minute.

Getting There Comfortably From Kuta to Ubud

The tour is listed with location in Kuta, and the route runs through Ubud and the Tegenungan Waterfall area. What you care about as a rider is the handoff between each stop, and this one is set up with private transportation and an air-conditioned car.

In practice, that means you avoid the squeeze of shared shuttles and you’re not negotiating multiple transfers. Your driver is English speaking, and reviews repeatedly call out drivers like Kariasa and Kadek for being on time and helpful with the flow of the day.

You’re also getting shower facilities and a changing area, which is a big deal when you have one part of the day that gets you dusty and sweaty. It makes it easier to go from ATV to temples and wildlife without feeling gross.

Pertiwi Adventure ATV Quad: Where the Day Gets Fun

Bali ATV Quad Adventure Ubud Monkey Forest and Waterfall - Pertiwi Adventure ATV Quad: Where the Day Gets Fun
Stop one is Pertiwi Adventure, described as an ATV quad bike tour through tropical forests, rice terraces, and villages. The highlight is the off-road feel, including river crossings and trail riding.

This is the part that usually sets the tone. If you’re the type who likes motion and views, you’ll feel it right away. The route is designed to be more than a flat loop. You’re meant to experience Bali at trail speed, with changing terrain rather than just staying on a single path.

Safety is handled in a practical way. You get safety equipment including a helmet and gloves, so you’re not scrambling for gear before you start. After the ride, shower facilities and changing rooms are included, so you can reset before heading to the next attraction.

A quick consideration: ATV days can be rough on timing. If you’re hoping for a relaxed, slow pace, focus on the “ride hard, refresh, then enjoy” rhythm. The tour is built around action first, calm later.

Tegenungan Waterfall: A Short Stop With Big-View Energy

Bali ATV Quad Adventure Ubud Monkey Forest and Waterfall - Tegenungan Waterfall: A Short Stop With Big-View Energy
Next is Tegenungan Waterfall. The schedule labels this as a very brief timed stop, and the best way to handle that is to go in knowing it’s a quick viewpoint visit, not a long break.

Tegenungan is one of those Bali attractions where the payoff is visual. You’re placed in a lush jungle setting, with views of the waterfall cascading into the area below. Admission is included, so you can focus on enjoying the view instead of handling ticket lines.

If you want the most from this short stop, arrive with a simple plan: grab the main photos first, then take a slow walk for your second set of angles. This is also the part of the day where strong lighting can matter for photos, so going a little earlier in your stop window can help if the sun is high.

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud: Wildlife and Temples in One Walk

Stop three is the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud, and this is where the day shifts gears. The sanctuary covers 12.5 hectares and is home to over 1,260 long-tailed macaques.

You walk shaded pathways through a sanctuary that also includes three ancient temples. That combination is why people connect with this stop. It’s not just wildlife viewing. You’re also looking at the spiritual side of Bali, with the forest acting like a natural setting for that heritage.

The pacing here also tends to feel different from ATV time. It’s more walking, more looking, and more noticing details. Reviews call the Monkey Forest peaceful and magical, and the best part is that it doesn’t require you to be athletic or adventurous. If your legs feel the ATV later, this is still a manageable stop.

One more practical note: expect lots of close-up monkey energy. The sanctuary is designed for you to be near the macaques in their natural habitat, so keep your attention on where you step and where you stand as the group moves.

Lunch and Shower Facilities: The Comfort That Keeps the Day Going

Bali ATV Quad Adventure Ubud Monkey Forest and Waterfall - Lunch and Shower Facilities: The Comfort That Keeps the Day Going
I like tours where the “in-between” comfort is built in. Here, that includes buffet lunch with mineral water, plus shower facilities and changing rooms.

That matters because the ATV portion can leave you sweaty and dusty. Without a way to refresh, the rest of the day can feel like a compromise. With showers included, you can move from quad biking to temples and a waterfall with a lot more confidence and comfort.

Lunch being included is also more than convenience. It helps you avoid the most common Bali day-trip problem, getting hungry at the wrong time and spending your energy hunting for food instead of enjoying the stops. Even if you’re a light eater, having lunch handled in the schedule keeps the day on track.

What Reviews Reveal About the Guides

Bali ATV Quad Adventure Ubud Monkey Forest and Waterfall - What Reviews Reveal About the Guides
The overall rating is 5, with 11 reviews and a 100% recommendation rate. The consistent praise is about the guides and how smoothly they run the day.

Two names show up again and again: Kariasa and Kadek. People highlight them as on-time, friendly, and genuinely helpful with the experience. There are also mentions of Kariasa taking photos and videos, which is a small thing that turns into a big one later when you want memories beyond your phone’s camera roll.

Some reviews also hint at extra time for photography and local stops beyond the core three attractions, like rice terrace swing-style photo spots, temple time, or coffee plantation visits. I’d treat that as a bonus that may depend on your route and timing, but it fits the pattern of guides who focus on making the day feel personal rather than rushed.

Who This Tour Fits Best (And Who Might Skip It)

Bali ATV Quad Adventure Ubud Monkey Forest and Waterfall - Who This Tour Fits Best (And Who Might Skip It)
This is a great fit if you want one day to include both action and calm. You’ll like it if you’re the kind of traveler who enjoys variety, ATV trails in the morning or early afternoon, then a slower walk through Monkey Forest, finishing with a classic waterfall stop.

It’s also a good option for couples and groups who want private transport. Since it’s set up as a private tour/activity, your group stays together, and you’re not squeezed into random schedules.

I’d be a bit cautious if you hate short stops. The Tegenungan Waterfall slot is brief, so you’ll want to treat it as a “see it, photograph it, enjoy the main views” moment, not a long linger.

Should You Book This Bali ATV Quad Adventure With Ubud Monkey Forest and Waterfall?

Book it if you want a value-focused day that mixes ATV excitement, included admissions, and a comfortable end to the messy part of the day thanks to shower facilities. The private air-conditioned transport plus buffet lunch makes it feel like a real itinerary, not a “hop between places” scramble.

Skip it or compare options if you mainly want long, unhurried time at one site. This is designed as a three-stop day, and the waterfall time is short, so your best experience comes from embracing that pace.

If your priority is getting the most out of a single day in Bali without planning every step, this one is a solid pick, especially given the steady review praise for guides like Kariasa and Kadek.
