Infinity Bali Rafting Ubud Combine 1,5 hrs Quad Bike

Adventure comes in two very different forms here. This Ubud combo pairs guided rafting on the Ayung River with a 1.5-hour ATV ride through rice paddies, bamboo forest, riverside paths, and Balinese villages. I like the mix of river scenery and countryside riding, and the included buffet lunch makes the long activity easier to manage. I also like that you can choose a solo quad bike or share a tandem vehicle.

The main concern is organization, especially if you rely on pickup. One booking experienced a missed pickup, an incorrect meeting time, and a wait of about 90 minutes. I would confirm the meeting point and time carefully before setting out, particularly if you choose the transfer option.

Key points to know before booking

• Two major activities in one outing: You get about two hours of Ayung River rafting followed by a 1.5-hour ATV ride.
• Class III river conditions: The Ayung River is normally class III and can rise to class IV during the rainy season.
• A scenic route below Ubud: Expect stone carvings, waterfalls, tropical plants, rice fields, bamboo forest, and traditional villages.
• Solo and tandem quad bikes: Solo riding requires a minimum age of 16, while younger riders must use a tandem bike as a passenger.
• Good fitness is needed: The rafting start and finish involve a walk through the forest, and one participant needed help getting back uphill.
• The $20 price is unusually low: At that rate, the combination offers strong value, but check exactly what is included, especially transfers.

What the $20 price really gives you

At approximately $20 per person, this is priced as an economical way to fit two active Bali experiences into one day. Both the rafting and ATV rides include admission, and the package description includes a buffet lunch. If you want to see more than temples and cafés around Ubud, the cost is hard to ignore.

Still, price alone should not make the decision for you. The transfer arrangement matters. Pickup may be offered, but the total duration with transfers can reach about nine hours from pickup to drop-off. The activities themselves add up to roughly three and a half hours, so a large part of the day can go to transport, changing, waiting, and moving between venues.

The shorter four-to-five-hour estimate appears to describe the core experience rather than a full hotel transfer day. I would ask for the exact schedule before booking, especially if you have an evening reservation or a flight connection.

The value is strongest if you want both activities and have limited time in Ubud. If you only want rafting, or only want an ATV ride, booking one activity may leave you with a less tiring day. The ability to choose rafting alone, ATV alone, or the combination gives you some useful flexibility.

Starting below Ubud on the Ayung River

The rafting section takes place on the Ayung River, Bali’s longest and largest river. The trip lasts about two hours and is guided from start to finish, which is important on a river rated class III in normal conditions.

You can expect the route to focus as much on scenery as on rapids. The river passes stone carvings, waterfalls, tropical plants, and forested banks. This is a good way to see a quieter side of Bali, far from the traffic and shop-lined streets of central Ubud.

The river grade deserves attention. Class III usually means active rapids that require instructions and teamwork. During the rainy season, the river can reach class IV, bringing stronger water and a more demanding ride. Conditions vary, so ask about the river level on your date if you have limited rafting experience.

The walk to the river is part of the physical challenge. The starting point is about a 10-minute drive from the Infinity Bali office, followed by a walk through rainforest down to the water. At the end, you need to make the return climb. One account describes a guide named Gede helping pull a tired participant uphill, a useful reminder that this is not a sit-down sightseeing trip.

The scenery receives the strongest praise. A guide named Gung Wira is credited with explaining the surroundings before the trip, while Billy is described as having eight years of river experience and a strong sense of the route. Names and guide assignments can change, but these comments suggest that the guide can shape the whole experience.

You should expect a safety briefing and instructions before entering the river, although the exact briefing format is not specified. Listen closely, stay with the group, and tell the guide if you are uncomfortable with the current or need help on the path.

Waterfalls, carvings, and active rapids

The Ayung route offers more than a sequence of rapids. Waterfalls and carved stone walls give the ride a distinctly Balinese setting, while the river corridor provides views of plants and wildlife that are difficult to see from a road.

The water also gives you a break from Ubud’s heat. The description includes refreshing waters and waterfall areas, so you may get wet even beyond the rapids. Wear clothing that dries quickly and avoid bringing anything that cannot handle splashes.

The rafting portion seems to be the more polished half of the combination. Several accounts praise the guides, the river setting, and the sense of safety under experienced instruction. At the same time, the transfer complaint shows that a good river trip does not guarantee a smooth day from door to door.

Lunch follows the rafting portion. A buffet is included, which is useful because rafting and the walk back up the hill can leave you hungry. Do not treat lunch as a reason to rush the morning, though. The day is already long when transfers are included.

From river water to a 1.5-hour ATV track

After rafting and lunch, you change into the equipment for the quad-bike section. Helmets and boots are provided for the ATV ride, and an experienced guide leads the group along a track described as suitable for all skill levels.

The route takes you away from the usual Ubud roads. You ride through rice paddies, bamboo forest, and riverside areas near traditional Balinese villages. This is not simply a road ride between attractions. The appeal is the change of pace and the chance to see rural surroundings from a low, open vehicle.

The ATV portion lasts about 90 minutes. That is long enough to feel like a real activity but short enough to fit beside the rafting trip. You should expect a physical ride rather than a quiet scenic tour. The wording describes the track as challenging, even while calling it suitable for all skill levels.

Solo and tandem arrangements need careful planning. Solo means each rider operates a quad bike, and the minimum age for solo riding is 16. Tandem means two people share one bike, with one person driving and one passenger. Tandem bookings must be made in pairs, such as two, four, six, or eight people.

The age rules are a little complicated. The stated minimum age for the adventure is five. Children from seven to 16 must have an adult present and ride as a passenger on a tandem quad bike. Since the information gives both a general minimum age of five and a specific rule for children aged seven to 16, I would confirm the arrangements for a five- or six-year-old before paying.

For adults, solo riding gives you more control and makes the ride feel more active. Tandem riding can be the better choice if one person is inexperienced, younger, or simply prefers to watch while someone else handles the bike. You should not assume that a child can drive independently.

How the two activities fit together

The attraction of this package is variety. Rafting puts you in the river, working with a guide and other people in the boat. The ATV ride gives you a helmet, a motor, and a rougher route through the countryside. The two activities feel different enough that the day does not repeat itself.

The drawback is energy. Rafting includes rapids and a forest walk, while the ATV ride requires concentration and physical control. By the time you reach the quad-bike track, you may prefer an easy afternoon. If your group includes people with different fitness levels, discuss the tandem option and the return walk before booking.

The activity is described as private, meaning only your group participates in the tour. That can make the day more comfortable than joining a large sightseeing group. It does not necessarily mean that your raft will contain only your own party, so ask how the river seating is arranged if that point matters to you.

The combination also works best when everyone wants both activities. A confident rider may find a tandem setup frustrating, while a person who dislikes rough water may not enjoy the first half. The option to book only rafting or only ATV riding is valuable for mixed interests.

Transfers and the practical side of the day

Optional door-to-door round-trip transfers are offered, with drop-off at the original pickup point. This can save you the trouble of finding the rafting office and ATV venue, and it may be worth paying for if you are unfamiliar with Ubud’s road network.

The transfer service deserves extra attention. One serious complaint describes a driver who did not arrive for pickup and an operator who gave the wrong meeting time, leading to a long wait. That is not a small inconvenience when your day already runs several hours.

Before the date, confirm all of these details:

• The exact pickup time
• The exact meeting point
• The name and phone number of the local operator
• Whether your hotel is included in the pickup area
• The expected drop-off time
• Whether the $20 price includes transport or only the activities

The experience is near public transportation, so you may have another way to reach the starting office. However, the information does not specify the route, fare, or reliability of that option. I would not depend on an unconfirmed connection when the activity has a fixed start time.

A mobile ticket is accepted, and confirmation is received at booking. Keep the confirmation available on your phone, but also save the operator’s contact details separately. That small step could help if the meeting time changes or you cannot find the driver.

Fitness, clothing, and what to bring

You should have a strong level of physical fitness for this experience. The rafting route includes active water, and the walk down to the river is followed by a climb back up. The ATV ride adds more time on a moving vehicle and may involve a challenging track.

Wear swimwear or quick-drying clothes for rafting. Bring a change of clothes, a towel if available, sunscreen, and a waterproof way to protect your phone. The information confirms helmets and boots for the ATV section, but it does not list every item of rafting equipment, so ask what is supplied before arriving.

Avoid carrying loose valuables. Water, mud, and motion are a poor combination for wallets, cameras, and phones. If you want pictures, use a secure waterproof case and follow the guide’s instructions about when it is safe to handle a device.

The day can be hot, wet, and tiring. Drink water and eat enough at the buffet lunch before the ATV ride. You will enjoy the second activity more if you treat the first as a proper physical outing rather than a quick morning stop.

The experience requires good weather. If poor conditions cause cancellation, you can receive a different date or a full refund. You can also cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund.

Which part deserves the most praise

The strongest feature is the rafting guide service. Billy is described as funny, experienced, and familiar with the river’s rocks, while Gung Wira is praised for explaining the setting and helping make the journey enjoyable. Those details matter because a guide controls the safety, rhythm, and mood of a river trip.

The scenery is the second major strength. Stone carvings, waterfalls, river forest, and exotic plants make the Ayung route more than a basic white-water ride. You get a close view of Bali’s natural setting without spending the day in a vehicle.

The ATV route adds useful variety. Rice paddies, bamboo, riverside paths, and traditional villages show you a rural side of Ubud that is easy to miss if you stay around the center. The ride is not presented as a cultural tour, but the setting gives it more character than a closed motor track.

Organization is the weak point. Positive accounts describe professional staff and a very enjoyable river trip, yet the pickup problem is serious enough to require preparation. I would book the activities for their scenery and guides, but I would handle the timing details myself rather than assume every transfer will run perfectly.

Who should book this Ubud adventure

I would recommend the combo to active adults, older children who meet the age rules, and groups that want a full day away from Ubud’s cafés and temples. It suits people who like trying two different activities and do not mind getting wet, muddy, and tired.

It is also a good fit for a group with mixed ATV experience. Skilled riders can choose solo bikes, while a less confident adult and child can share a tandem quad, subject to the age requirements. The private-tour format may appeal to families and small groups that prefer not to join a large sightseeing program.

I would be more cautious if you have poor fitness, difficulty walking uphill, or a strong dislike of rough water. The class III river and possible class IV rainy-season conditions deserve respect. You should also think twice if a missed pickup would ruin your day or if you have a tight schedule afterward.

Should you book Infinity Bali Rafting and ATV?

Book it if you want a low-cost, high-energy day that combines river scenery with rural Bali riding. The $20 starting price offers strong value when the included rafting, ATV admission, equipment, lunch, and group format match your booking.

Before you commit, confirm the transfer cost, meeting time, age arrangement, and river conditions. If you do that, this is a practical way to pack two memorable activities into one Ubud outing. If you want a relaxed day or dependable minute-by-minute timing, book only one activity and arrange your own transport.
