Full Day ATV Ride, Monkey Forest,Tegalalang Rice Terrace

The main appeal here is the mix: you get a muddy ATV ride in Bali’s countryside, then shift to temples, macaques, market stalls, and rice terraces. It packs several of Ubud’s best-known sights into one private day, with pickup, lunch, transport, entry fees, and riding gear included.

I like the contrast between the fast, noisy ATV session and the quieter paths of the Monkey Forest. I also like having a private vehicle and group, since guides such as Gede and Cokde can give your party more personal help and take photos along the way. The main drawback is the pace: four stops in about seven hours means a good deal of road time and only about an hour at the market and rice terraces.

Key points to know before booking

• ATV first, sightseeing later: Expect rugged tracks, mud, waterfalls, and rural views before the cultural stops.
• Private group format: Only your group takes part, with private transportation from Kuta.
• Two versions of the ride length appear: The details describe both a 1.5-hour and a 2-hour ATV ride, so confirm the exact schedule before paying.
• Lunch and entry fees are covered: You should budget extra only for personal expenses.
• The Monkey Forest is more than a photo stop: It combines macaques, walking paths, and old temple buildings.
• Cokde and Gede are names worth requesting: Both are specifically praised for friendly help, explanations, and photography skills, though guide assignment may vary.

A full day that joins adventure with classic Ubud

This is a practical choice if you want to see several sides of Bali without arranging separate bookings. The day begins with an ATV ride at Pertiwi Adventure, then moves into Ubud’s cultural center: the Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud Art Market, and Tegalalang Rice Terrace.

The order matters. The ATV section gives you the physical highlight early, while the later stops slow the day down. You are not simply moving from one viewpoint to another. You get rural riding, a forest sanctuary, local shopping, and an agricultural setting in one package.

The tour is based in Kuta, with pickup offered and an air-conditioned vehicle included. The total duration is about seven hours. Since this is a private activity, you do not share the group with strangers, which is useful for families, couples, or friends who want to keep their own pace within the fixed schedule.

Pertiwi Adventure brings the muddy start

The ATV session is the heart of the day. At Pertiwi Adventure, a professional ATV instructor provides safety equipment and leads you along rugged terrain, muddy tracks, waterfalls, and scenic countryside. The route is intended to feel active rather than gentle, so this part suits you best if you want a real recreational ride instead of a short motorized photo opportunity.

The published information gives two different ride lengths: one description says 1.5 hours, while the included features say two hours. The stop itself is listed as three hours, which likely includes preparation, instruction, equipment, and riding. Still, I would confirm the exact riding time before booking, especially if the ATV is your main reason for coming.

You do not need to arrange a separate helmet or other riding safety equipment. An instructor is included, which is important on muddy or uneven ground. The material does not specify age limits, driving requirements, or whether children ride independently or as passengers, so families should ask those questions directly.

The ATV track is also the part most affected by rain. Wet weather can make the ride more slippery and muddy, while poor conditions may lead to a different date or a full refund. Bring clothing and shoes that can get dirty. That is simple advice, but it can make the difference between laughing at the mud and spending the rest of the day worrying about it.

The riding section has earned the strongest praise in the feedback. One family particularly enjoyed the exciting track, with the children liking the ATV portion. Another comment called the ATV itself good and paired the ride with praise for the natural scenery. That points to a useful distinction: this is not only about driving a machine. The route is meant to show you a rougher, greener side of Bali.

The Monkey Forest mixes wildlife and temple paths

After the ATV ride, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary gives you a very different setting. The reserve is a temple complex and nature area in Ubud, with long-tailed macaques, forest paths, and ancient religious buildings.

The supplied details give two macaque counts, approximately 340 in one place and more than 700 in another. Rather than relying on an exact number, expect a large resident population spread through the sanctuary. You will see monkeys in their natural surroundings, but this is still a managed tourist site, not an open wilderness area.

You have about two hours here, making it the longest sightseeing stop. That is helpful because the forest is best taken at a walking pace. You can look at the temple structures, watch the macaques, and allow time for photographs without treating the whole stop as a quick roadside visit.

The monkeys are the attraction, but they also require sensible behavior. Keep your attention on them and follow the sanctuary’s instructions. The feedback specifically praises taking pictures, but a good photograph is never worth careless contact or feeding. The tour description does not state the sanctuary’s detailed rules, so listen to the guide and local staff on arrival.

I like this stop because it adds context after the ATV ride. The forest is not just another scenic point. It shows how nature and religious space exist together in Ubud, and it gives the day a cultural center before the shopping and rice terrace visits.

Ubud Art Market offers a short shopping window

The Ubud Art Market is scheduled for about one hour. That is enough time to browse, but not enough for a slow, detailed shopping session across every stall. Think of it as a compact introduction to Ubud’s organized chaos, with the chance to look for souvenirs and local handicrafts.

The market is popular, so you should expect a busy shopping environment. Prices may invite bargaining, though the tour information does not set out any shopping guidance or fixed prices. If you want to buy something, decide how much time you are willing to spend negotiating, then keep an eye on the meeting time.

This stop will suit you if you enjoy browsing and want a chance to take home something tangible from Bali. It may feel less important if you prefer temples, food, or scenery. Since the market is one of four main stops, it is best viewed as a brief change of pace rather than the day’s main event.

The private format helps here. You can tell the guide what interests you, within the available hour, instead of being placed with a large mixed group. Cokde was praised for explaining places and taking good photographs, while Gede was described as friendly, funny, and willing to help. If either guide is available, you may ask for that person, but the provider does not promise a specific guide.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace closes the day with views

Tegalalang Rice Terrace is the final scenic stop, with about one hour to look across the stepped fields and green valley. The terraces are among the most recognizable sights around Ubud, and their appeal comes from the relationship between farming, slopes, and village life.

The setting is photogenic, but the visit is short. You can take in the main views and photos, yet you should not expect a long walk through every part of the terrace area. The details also mention Pejeng and Campuhan as other notable terraced areas around Ubud, but this tour focuses on Tegalalang.

I would save some energy for this stop. After an ATV ride, a forest walk, and market browsing, it can be tempting to rush through the last hour. Instead, use the time to look beyond the camera frame. The terraces are valuable because they show working agricultural land, not just a decorative viewpoint.

The final stop also gives the day a calmer finish. You begin with mud and engines, then end with broad rural scenery. That balance is one of the package’s best features, particularly if you want both action and classic Ubud views.

What the $87.95 price includes

At $87.95 per person, the value depends on how much of the day you would otherwise arrange yourself. The price includes private transportation, pickup, lunch, all fees and taxes, ATV safety equipment, an instructor, the ATV activity, Monkey Forest admission, Tegalalang access, and the Ubud market visit.

That is a useful bundle. You are paying not only for the ride, but also for transport between Kuta and the Ubud area, entry costs, a meal, and a guide. Separate arrangements could become more complicated, especially when you add a vehicle and several admissions.

The price is easier to justify for a group that will use the private transport well. If you are traveling alone, the per-person cost may feel less attractive because private transportation is built into the package. For a family or small group, the private format can make the day more comfortable and easier to manage.

Personal expenses are not included. You should allow extra money for shopping, drinks or purchases beyond lunch, and any other costs not covered by the listed inclusions. The exact lunch menu is not specified, so ask if dietary needs matter to you.

Timing, pickup, and the private group setup

The tour lasts about seven hours, with stops listed as three hours at the ATV center, two hours at the Monkey Forest, one hour at the market, and one hour at Tegalalang. Those stop times add up to seven hours before accounting for driving, so the timing may be approximate or may include parts of the transport schedule.

That is the main practical point to clarify. Ask the operator for your pickup time, expected return time, actual ATV riding time, and the order of stops. The tour offers pickup, but the available details do not state the exact pickup area within Kuta or whether every nearby address qualifies.

An air-conditioned vehicle is included, and transportation is private. That matters in Bali, where a day of several stops can become tiring in a shared vehicle. You can keep your belongings with your group and avoid waiting for other parties, though traffic can still affect the schedule.

Confirmation is received at booking. Most people can participate, but the information does not give detailed accessibility guidance. If anyone in your party has mobility limits, a medical concern, or questions about operating an ATV, contact Bersinar Bali Tour before booking.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the local start time for a full refund. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not refunded, and poor weather may lead to another date or a full refund.

Who will get the most from this day

I would recommend this tour to you if you want a strong first look at Ubud but have limited time. It works especially well for families and small private groups that like mixing an active outing with easy sightseeing.

It is also a good match if you want photography opportunities. The ATV route, macaques, temple paths, market, and terraces all offer different subjects. Cokde was singled out for photography skills, while Gede was praised for being helpful and entertaining, so asking about guide availability could improve the day.

You may want a different plan if you dislike mud, motorized activities, or tightly scheduled sightseeing. The day has several moving parts, and the ATV ride is not a minor add-on. It is the first major activity and sets the tone.

I would also hesitate if your priority is a slow visit to Tegalalang or extended shopping time. One hour at each of those stops gives you a taste, not a deep visit. This package favors variety over lingering.

Should you book the ATV, Monkey Forest, and Tegalalang day?

Book it if you want one private day that combines adventure, wildlife, and Ubud scenery, and if the included transport, lunch, equipment, and admissions make the $87.95 price worthwhile for your group.

Before booking, confirm the ATV ride length, pickup details, guide availability, and any age or driving rules. If you are happy with a brisk schedule and do not mind getting dirty, this is a well-rounded way to connect Kuta with several Ubud highlights. If you want quiet temples, long terrace walks, or a relaxed market afternoon, choose a slower custom day instead.
