Kick up mud through rice terraces, pause at a rock face shaped like a gorilla, then rinse off and eat lunch with a rice-field view. This guided ATV loop outside Ubud mixes short bursts of technical riding with cultural roadside moments and an on-site poolside meal.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roar out of the staging area and the countryside opens — terraces tumbling away in green steps, a ribbon of river daring you to follow, and a limestone face that, from the right angle, makes the rock look like a sleeping gorilla. The track alternates squeezed jungle tunnels, wide muddy plains and steep uphill bursts; riders feel the machine respond under them while local villages watch from the sideline.
Difficulty
moderate
Duration
2–3 hours
Fitness Level
Suitable for most fitness levels; riders should be able to mount/dismount an ATV and handle short bursts of uphill effort while standing on footpegs.
Wildlife
History
The landscape is shaped by volcanic soils and centuries of subak irrigation; many rural compounds still follow traditional Balinese Hindu practices tied to agricultural cycles.
Conservation
Stick to designated tracks and avoid leaving litter; the area relies on healthy river corridors and terraced fields, so runoff and erosion from off-track riding can damage rice paddies and waterways.
