THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel
Cycle from the highlands of Kintamani down to rural Taro, then trade pedals for a quad bike to punch through jungle tracks and river crossings. This full-day combo pairs sweeping Mount Batur views with hands-on off-road fun.
Cycle from the highlands of Kintamani down to rural Taro, then trade pedals for a quad bike to punch through jungle tracks and river crossings. This full-day combo pairs sweeping Mount Batur views with hands-on off-road fun.
You start on a rim road where Mount Batur fills the sky—black cone edged in steam—then push pedals into a landscape that shifts from volcanic plateau to green village lanes. The cycling section drops through highland roads, past small temples and terraces, the wind cooling as altitude falls and rice paddies open out beneath you. Later, the ATV track pushes you into tighter terrain: jungle corridors, shallow river crossings and mud-slick ruts that demand focus and grin-worthy commitment.

Geology here is immediate: ash and lava from Batur and neighboring calderas built the highlands and fed the soils that make these terraces so vivid. Culturally, the route threads rural Taro and Kintamani communities where subak irrigation channels and roadside shrines mark everyday life; local eateries serve kopi Bali and simple nasi campur that reflect centuries of agrarian tradition.
Expect mixed surfaces—paved descents, cracked concrete village roads, short gravel sections—and an overall cycling distance typically in the 15–30 km range with a net elevation loss of roughly 500–800 m depending on start point. The ATV loop runs 1–2 hours across purpose-built tracks, riverbeds and tracks through secondary forest.
Practical notes: start early to avoid midday heat, carry 1–2 L water, wear gloves and closed-toe shoes for the ATV, and use sunscreen. Guides provide helmets, equipment and a safety briefing; riders should be comfortable braking, shifting and standing briefly on the quad when terrain turns rough. The combination makes for a full-day, hands-on way to see Ubud’s northern hinterland with both pedal power and throttle-controlled fun.
moderate.
8 hours.
Moderate endurance—comfortable with several hours of cycling and brief periods of standing/handling on rough ATV terrain
Basic cycling skills are enough—guides choose routes for group ability and bicycles are typically comfort/tour style suited to mixed surfaces.
Standard inclusions are bike and ATV equipment, helmets, a safety briefing, and an Indonesian set-menu lunch; confirm pickup details when booking.
Yes—ATV segments are beginner-friendly with an initial safety briefing; however riders should be physically able to handle a small off-road vehicle and follow guide instructions.
Full refund available if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure; no refund for cancellations within 24 hours.
The landscape is shaped by volcanic activity from Mount Batur; local agrarian culture uses the traditional Balinese subak irrigation system that’s visible in the terraces.
Stay on designated tracks, avoid driving ATVs through active rice paddies, and follow guides’ instructions to minimize erosion and disturbance to local farming.
