CRETYA UBUD Infinity Pool+ ATV RIDE with Gorilla Cave +lunch.

Mud, jungle, rice fields, and a rooftop pool.

This Ubud day combines a 350cc ATV ride with time at Cretya Ubud, where you can swim above the rice terraces, enjoy one included drink, and take in the fashionable side of Bali. I especially like the strong mix of action and downtime, plus the private air-conditioned transport, lunch, shower, and changing facilities. The main catch is that Cretya’s age rules are stricter than the ATV rules, so families and younger visitors need to check the details carefully.

At $95 per person, this is not Bali’s cheapest ATV outing. Still, the price covers hotel pickup and drop-off, private transport, the ride, safety equipment, lunch, bottled water, pool access, one drink, coffee tasting, and admission fees. If you want one organized day rather than several separate bookings, the package can make good sense.

Key Points to Know Before You Book

• The ATV route lasts about two hours: Expect jungle paths, muddy ground, tunnels, rivers, a waterfall, rice fields, and local farm areas.
• Cretya Ubud adds a polished finish: You get pool access and one free drink, while swings, zip lines, sky bikes, food, and extra drinks cost more.
• Pickup and drop-off are included: A private, air-conditioned vehicle keeps the day easier, especially after a wet and muddy ride.
• The guides receive strong praise: Yan, Ketut, Komang Budiana, and Yan Mudita are singled out for friendly service, safety help, local advice, and good conversation.
• Age restrictions need attention: Under-18 visitors cannot enter Cretya Ubud, and the swimming rule says under-19 visitors might not be allowed in the infinity pool.
• Solo bookings cost extra: The minimum booking is two people, with an additional IDR 350,000 charge for a solo participant.

What This Ubud Day Is Really Combining

This is two very different Bali experiences placed in one day. The ATV section is noisy, physical, and intentionally messy. Cretya Ubud is polished, photogenic, and built around views, food, drinks, and a stylish infinity pool.

That contrast is the appeal. You can spend the morning bouncing through a forest track and muddy farm paths, then clean up and relax above rice terraces. I like packages that give you both a story to tell and a chance to sit down afterward.

The scheduled day begins around 8:00 a.m. and lasts roughly seven to eight hours. Exact timing can vary, but the early start matters. Several people who booked the pool and ATV combination found the pool quieter earlier in the day, which is useful if you care about photographs or prefer a calmer swim.

The trip is private, meaning only your own group participates. That gives the day a more personal feel than a large coach excursion. It also allows the driver or guide to explain Bali, offer suggestions, and adjust the flow of the day where possible.

The Private Pickup Makes the Morning Easier

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle. That is a valuable part of the price in Ubud, where roads can be slow and confusing, and where you may not want to arrange several separate transfers.

The drivers are a major part of the experience. Yan receives repeated praise for arriving on time, explaining the day, sharing Bali tips, and keeping conversation going. Ketut is praised for helping the group feel safe and comfortable, while Komang Budiana is noted for guiding and assisting throughout the outing. Yan Mudita is also singled out for friendly service and strong local knowledge.

I would treat the driver as more than a simple transfer service. Ask questions about Ubud, food, nearby places, and the day’s timing. The package becomes more useful when you use that local contact instead of sitting quietly in the vehicle.

Pickup starts at 8:00 a.m. The package requires at least two people, and a solo participant pays an extra IDR 350,000. If you are alone, compare that surcharge with the cost of arranging transport and activities separately.

Cretya Ubud: Pool Views Above the Rice Terraces

Cretya Ubud is the relaxing and highly polished half of the day. Its infinity pool looks over rice terraces, giving you the classic Bali view that appears on many holiday photos.

You receive admission to the infinity pool and one complimentary drink. The pool visit is planned for about two hours, which gives you enough time to swim, dry off, take photos, and enjoy the setting without rushing straight to the next activity.

The early arrival is a practical advantage. Cretya can be especially attractive when the pool area is peaceful and the rice terrace views are unobstructed. If your main reason for booking is the famous pool, ask your guide about the exact order of stops and try to keep the earlier timing.

Cretya is also a place where the extras add up. Food, additional drinks, the extreme Bali swing, zip line, and sky bike are not included. You can add those activities, but do not assume the $95 price covers them. A special event may also require an extra entrance charge.

I see Cretya as a scenic rest stop rather than a full-day resort visit. Two hours works well after an ATV ride, but anyone hoping to spend most of the day swimming and ordering food may want a separate visit.

The age information needs careful reading. Visitors under 18 are not allowed to enter Cretya Ubud, while the swimming rule says people under 19 might not be allowed to use the infinity pool. Since those statements are not perfectly clear together, families should confirm the current rule before paying.

Coffee and Herbal Tea at Uma Pakel

The stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism lasts about 30 minutes. Here you can try local coffee and herbal tea at a coffee-growing area.

This is a short stop, but it changes the pace nicely. After the pool or before the ATV ride, a coffee tasting offers a quieter look at one part of Bali’s agricultural economy. The tasting is free, though the package does not say that every product or purchase is included.

Do not expect a long plantation tour. The scheduled visit is only half an hour. Think of it as a compact tasting stop and a chance to learn a little about local coffee and herbal drinks.

Pertiwi Adventure and the Two-Hour ATV Track

The ATV ride is the main physical attraction. You ride a 350cc ATV for roughly 1.5 to 2 hours on a demanding off-road track.

The route includes rainforest, tunnels, rivers, muddy sections, a waterfall, local farms, rice fields, and village areas. That variety matters. You are not simply driving in circles on a dirt lot. The route is designed to give you changing scenery and different kinds of terrain.

The word challenging should be taken seriously. Muddy tracks and water crossings can make the ride tiring, especially if rain has made the ground soft. You should expect to get wet or dirty, even if the weather is dry. The inclusion of a shower and changing facilities is therefore not a small bonus. It is what makes the ATV and pool combination practical.

Safety equipment and a professional guide are included. The strongest praise for the activity focuses on feeling safe, receiving help during the ride, and getting clear guidance. That is important because a powerful ATV on uneven ground requires attention. Follow the guide’s instructions, keep a sensible pace, and do not treat the route like a race.

The ride may suit beginners who want a guided adventure, but the track is still physically active. You need to handle bumps, mud, turns, and wet conditions. If you have mobility concerns or dislike rough rides, the pool and coffee parts will not remove the physical demands of the ATV section.

The age rules are worth checking before booking. Under-16 participants must be accompanied by an adult for the ATV ride, and the information also says children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Anyone under 18 cannot enter Cretya, and under-19 visitors might not be able to swim there. These rules can make the full package unsuitable for families with children or teenagers.

Lunch, Showers, and the Details That Improve the Day

Lunch, bottled water, a shower, and changing facilities are included. These practical items help the package feel like a complete day rather than a single activity with transport attached.

Lunch is useful because the schedule runs for most of the day, but the exact menu is not specified. If you have dietary needs, ask what is available before departure. The same advice applies to drinks, since only one drink at Cretya is included and extra food or drinks there cost more.

The shower and changing area are especially important after the ATV ride. Without them, going directly to a pool or back into a private vehicle could be uncomfortable. Bring whatever personal items you need for changing, along with a phone-protection plan if you want photographs during the wet sections.

The package does not say that towels, lockers, or specific ATV clothing are included. You should confirm those details before setting out rather than assume they come with the booking.

Is $95 a Fair Price?

At $95 per person, the value depends on how much of the package you would otherwise arrange yourself. The price includes private air-conditioned transport, hotel pickup and drop-off, ATV admission and equipment, pool access, one drink, coffee tasting, lunch, and bottled water.

That is a strong bundle for a full seven to eight hours. The private vehicle also matters because separate transport between an ATV center, coffee stop, and Cretya could take time and add cost.

The price is less attractive if you only want the ATV ride. In that case, you are paying for the pool setting, transport, lunch, and the combined schedule. It is also less attractive if you plan to add many paid activities at Cretya, since the swing, zip line, sky bike, extra food, and extra drinks are not covered.

For two people or more, I think the package offers reasonable convenience and variety. Solo visitors face the extra IDR 350,000 fee, so they should compare the final cost with a standard group ATV trip and a separate pool visit.

The package requires a minimum of two people. That rule is easy to miss and can affect your plans if you are traveling alone.

What the Guides Add to the Experience

The strongest human part of this outing is the guide and driver service. Yan is repeatedly praised for being on time, explaining the activities, sharing useful Bali advice, and helping with the day’s choices. One person enjoyed the service enough to book further activities through him.

Ketut receives similar praise for creating a fun day while helping the group feel safe. Komang Budiana is noted for guiding and assisting throughout the tour, and Yan Mudita is praised for being friendly, reliable, and informative.

I would use this service well by asking for clear instructions before the ATV ride and confirming the order of the stops. You can also ask the driver about local places to eat or visit later in your trip. The included private transport is not just a ride between attractions. It can also give you a useful local point of contact.

Who Should Book This Experience?

I would recommend it to couples, friends, and small private groups who want several Ubud highlights in one day. It suits you best if you like active outings but also want time to relax, take photos, and enjoy a scenic pool.

It is a good match for first-time visitors who do not want to plan transfers between separate attractions. The day covers a strong range of Bali scenes: rice terraces, coffee, village areas, forest tracks, water, and a stylish pool.

I would hesitate if your main goal is a quiet cultural day. The ATV ride is loud, muddy, and physically demanding. I would also hesitate if you dislike organized attractions or want a long, slow visit at Cretya, since the schedule gives you about two hours there.

Families should check all age rules before booking. The combination of Cretya’s under-18 entrance restriction, the possible under-19 swimming restriction, and the ATV supervision rules can rule out the full day for younger members.

Should You Book the Cretya and ATV Combination?

Book it if you want a well-packed Ubud day with a real contrast between muddy adventure and polished pool time. The private pickup, lunch, shower, changing facilities, and friendly guides make the $95 price easier to justify, especially for a pair or small group.

Skip it if you only want one activity, need a low-cost outing, or hope to spend most of the day at the pool. Before booking, confirm your pickup point, age eligibility, any dietary needs, and the current rules for Cretya access and swimming.

For the right group, this is a lively and practical way to see several sides of Ubud without spending the day arranging transport.
