More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn pickup in Ubud folds the town into the rearview while the road tightens toward jungle and rice fields. The day opens with a throttle: tandem ATVs punch through mud, cross hand-built bamboo bridges and skirt terraces, leaving spray on your goggles and the taste of tropical green in the air. Later the Ayung River takes over—paddle strokes, short rapids and quiet pools under mossy cliffs—pushing guests forward through rainforest walls and glimpses of small waterfalls.

Hydrate before and during the day
Start with a light, energy-rich breakfast and keep a refillable water bottle—heat and exertion add up quickly on the ATV and river sections.
Wear quick-drying, closed-toe shoes

This combo requires cardiovascular fitness and no spinal or heart conditions; disclose medical issues to guides before departure.
Protect electronics and money
Bring a small dry bag or waterproof case; leave valuables at your hotel if possible and carry small change for local warungs.
Quick-dry closed-toe shoes
Keeps feet protected on muddy trails and during river entry/exit.
Lightweight long-sleeve shirt or rash guard
Sun protection and a layer that drains quickly when wet.

You’ll get wet and muddy—dry clothes for the return trip are essential.
Small dry bag or waterproof phone case
