Bali ATV Quad Bike Ubud Swing & Monkey Forest All Inclusive

The best part of this Bali day tour is the 90-minute ATV route. You are not simply circling a dry track. The ride cuts through rice fields, jungle, river sections, a waterfall area, and Balinese rural villages. It gives you a noisy, muddy shot of inland Bali before the quieter nature stops begin.

I like that lunch, a shower, a towel, a locker, riding equipment, insurance, hotel transport, and admission fees are bundled into the $95 price. I also like the private format, which keeps your group together and lets the day run at a more sensible pace. Guide Putu has received special praise for keeping the day moving smoothly.

The main drawback is the long day and the packed schedule. You will ride hard, clean up, eat, visit the Monkey Forest, and finish at a swing area, all in about eight hours. Personal expenses and photos are extra, and the tour needs good weather.

Key points at a glance

• Mud, rivers, and village roads: The ATV ride covers jungle, rice fields, river crossings, a waterfall area, and traditional Balinese communities.
• A private group experience: Only your party takes part, with hotel pickup and drop-off included.
• Putu may guide your day: He is specifically praised for helping the transport and stops run smoothly.
• A useful post-ride reset: Lunch, a shower, towel, locker, and welcome drink are included after the ATV ride.
• Two very different Ubud stops: The Monkey Forest offers wildlife and tree cover, while Tegalalang focuses on swings and photo spots.
• Good value at $95: The price covers transport, equipment, insurance, lunch, and entrance fees, but not personal spending or photos.

Why the ATV ride is the heart of the day

This tour begins with a hotel pickup at about 8:00 am, then shifts from Seminyak’s coastal setting to the greener interior around Ubud. The exact drive time is not provided, so you should expect the day to feel full rather than leisurely.

The ATV section lasts about 90 minutes. That is long enough to feel like a proper outing, not a short amusement ride. You will ride an all-terrain vehicle along a route that includes rice fields, forest, rivers, waterfall scenery, and rural villages.

That variety matters. A fixed dirt circuit can become repetitive after a while. Here, the scenery changes as you ride, and the route gives you a view of Bali that is less polished than the usual beach and pool setting. You may get dirty, particularly around the river and muddy parts of the track. Bring clothes and shoes you do not mind washing.

The tour supplies international-standard riding equipment and a guide. Insurance coverage during the ATV ride is included, which is a useful detail for an activity involving uneven ground and water. You still need a moderate level of physical fitness. The activity is not presented as suitable for everyone, and you should be comfortable handling an ATV for an extended ride.

The ride is especially appealing if you want action without giving up scenery. You are not spending the whole morning on a machine, but you are also not taking a gentle countryside drive. The route is described as long and challenging, so I would not choose this outing for a completely relaxed day.

Lunch, showers, and the practical reset

After the ride, you can use the shower facilities and freshen up before lunch. A towel and locker are included, along with a local meal. This is one of the better practical touches in the package.

An ATV ride through rivers and rural tracks can leave you dusty, wet, or muddy. Without a shower, the rest of the day would be uncomfortable, especially if you are sitting in a vehicle and visiting a forest afterward. The cleanup period gives you a proper break before the next stops.

The meal is described as local lunch, but no menu is provided. If you have dietary needs, ask about them before booking rather than assuming the meal can be changed. Personal expenses are not included, so keep some money with you for anything outside the package.

The tour also includes a welcome drink. It is a small detail, but it helps at the start of an active morning. The larger value comes from having transport, food, changing facilities, and the ride handled together.

Meeting the monkeys at the Sacred Monkey Forest

The next stop is the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud. The forest is presented as a tropical setting with high plant and bird diversity, including more than 115 species of trees and plants and around 600 kinds of birds. The main attraction, though, is the population of long-tailed monkeys living in the forest.

The description places the monkey population at more than 700 animals. You may see them moving through the trees, along paths, and near visitors. The tour says you can get close and take pictures with the monkeys with help from your guide.

That last point is important. Monkeys are wild animals, even in a busy visitor site. Listen to the guide and do not treat a photo as more important than safe behavior. The forest stop is not just a quick animal sighting. It gives you a chance to walk among old trees and see a different side of Ubud after the noise and mud of the ATV route.

There is also a change of pace here. The quad bike section is physical and loud. The forest visit is more about watching, walking, and noticing what moves around you. If you prefer quiet nature to staged attractions, this stop may be the more satisfying part of the afternoon.

On the other hand, anyone hoping for a secluded forest walk should adjust expectations. The Monkey Forest is a favorite Ubud attraction, and monkeys are the clear focus. The experience is structured around seeing them and taking photos, not around a long, silent trek.

Tegalalang swing and the photo stop

The final listed stop is Tegalalang, where you can try a large swing above rice fields and jungle views. The swing area also has rattan photo settings, including bird nests and other shaped installations.

This is a very different kind of attraction from the ATV ride. The quad bike route is about movement and mud. The swing is about a short burst of adrenaline and a polished photo opportunity. You can expect the stop to appeal most if you want memorable pictures from your Bali trip.

The package includes admission to the Tegalalang swing and the Monkey Forest. Photos and VCDs are not included, so any professional image package costs extra. That matters if you are comparing this tour with a cheaper transport-only option. The entrance fees are already covered, but your favorite souvenir image may not be.

The swing is also the least authentic part of the day. It is designed for visitors and photographs rather than daily Balinese life. That does not make it a bad stop, but it gives the tour a clear mix: a genuine rural ride, a popular forest attraction, and a purpose-built photo experience.

What the $95 price really covers

At $95 per person, this tour is not the cheapest way to see Ubud. It can still be good value if you plan to do all three activities and would otherwise need separate transport, tickets, meals, and ATV arrangements.

The price includes:

• Hotel pickup and drop-off
• A welcome drink
• The 90-minute ATV ride
• Riding equipment and a guide
• Insurance during the ATV ride
• Lunch after riding
• Shower facilities, towel, and locker
• Admission to the Monkey Forest
• Admission to the Tegalalang swing

That is a useful bundle. You do not need to arrange a separate driver for each stop, and you avoid paying admission at the final two attractions. The private format adds value for couples, families, or a small group that does not want to share the day with strangers.

Still, the phrase all inclusive has limits here. Personal expenses and photos are excluded. The package also does not promise unlimited time at each stop, and the full schedule is only about eight hours. You are paying for convenience and variety, not a slow custom tour.

For a family, the value can be strong if everyone is keen on the ATV ride. One family booking described the ATV adventure as the children’s favorite Bali activity. That fits the design of the day: it gives younger or more active participants something exciting, while the Monkey Forest and swing keep the rest of the schedule varied.

A private tour with a full morning start

The tour starts at 8:00 am, with pickup from your hotel lobby. Pickup and drop-off are offered, and the experience is private, meaning only your own group takes part.

Private transport is useful in Bali because the three main activities are not all in one compact place. You can leave the driving and stop coordination to the provider rather than trying to connect separate bookings. Guide Putu was specifically praised for taking care of the day’s movements and getting the group where it needed to go.

The early start is worth noting. You should be ready at the hotel in the morning, and you should not plan another major activity immediately afterward. The day includes a physically demanding ride, cleaning up, lunch, a forest visit, and the swing stop.

The tour is booked an average of 33 days ahead, which suggests that planning early is sensible, especially if your Bali dates are fixed. Confirmation is provided at booking. Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations inside that window are not refunded, and changes are not accepted. Since the experience depends on good weather, a weather cancellation leads to a different date or a full refund.

Who will enjoy this Bali ATV and Ubud tour

I would recommend this day most strongly to you if you want several classic Ubud activities without arranging the pieces yourself. It works well for couples, families, and private groups that want adventure in the morning and easier sightseeing later.

It is also a good fit if you like variety. The route moves from machine riding to lunch and a shower, then to monkeys and a swing. You will not spend the whole day doing one thing.

You should think twice if you dislike mud, physical activity, animals moving close to you, or staged photo attractions. The ATV section is not described as gentle, and the day does not leave much room for a slow, unplanned wander.

I would also avoid booking it for a rainy-weather day unless you are comfortable with the possibility of a change. Poor weather can affect the experience, and the provider may need to reschedule or cancel.

My verdict on value and experience

The tour’s strongest feature is the contrast between its stops. The ATV ride gives you the most active and rural part of the day. The Monkey Forest adds wildlife and thick tropical vegetation. Tegalalang supplies the big swing and the easy photo moment.

The package also handles the details that often make an adventure day annoying: transport, equipment, lunch, insurance, a locker, a towel, and a shower. Those inclusions make the $95 price easier to justify, particularly for a private group.

The tradeoff is pace. You are fitting a lot into eight hours, and the swing stop is more commercial than cultural. You should book this as a lively sampler of Ubud, not as a slow, deeply local tour.

Should you book it?

Book this Bali ATV, Monkey Forest, and Ubud swing tour if you want one active private day with transport, lunch, admission, and cleanup included. It is particularly well suited to families and couples who want the ATV ride to be the main event, with two popular Ubud stops added afterward.

Skip it if you want a quiet forest walk, a fully cultural tour, or a flexible day with no set pace. For most active visitors, though, the combination gives you a practical way to see several sides of inland Bali without managing separate bookings.
