Infinity Bali Rafting Ubud Combine 1,5 hrs Quad Bike

The best part of this Ubud adventure is the change of pace: white-water rafting on the Ayung River gives you cool water, stone carvings, and waterfalls, then a quad bike takes you through rice paddies and village countryside. You get two very different views of Bali in one half-day outing.

I like the strong guiding and the chance to choose a solo or tandem ATV. Guides Billy, Gung Wira, and Gede have been praised for safety, local know-how, and a good sense of humor. The main caution is organization: pickup details have not always gone smoothly, so confirm the time and meeting point carefully.

Key Points to Know

• Two adventures in one: Raft the Ayung River for about two hours, then ride an ATV for roughly 1.5 hours.
• Class III river action: The Ayung is generally class III and can reach class IV during the rainy season.
• A scenic rafting route: Expect waterfalls, stone carvings, tropical plants, and forested riverbanks.
• Solo or tandem quad bikes: Riders aged 16 and older can ride alone, while tandem bikes carry one driver and one passenger.
• Lunch is part of the rhythm: A buffet meal comes between the rafting and ATV portions.
• Plan for firm confirmation: Pickup is optional, but reports of missed pickups and incorrect meeting times make a final check worthwhile.

Rafting the Ayung River Through Ubud’s Forests

The rafting section is the heart of the experience. The Ayung is Bali’s longest and largest river, and this route gives you more than a quick splash through rapids. Over about two hours, you pass tropical vegetation, waterfalls, unusual stone carvings, and stretches of river where the setting feels far removed from Ubud’s busy streets.

The river is rated class III, which means you should expect real movement and some teamwork, but not an expert-only expedition. During the rainy season, the river can rise to class IV. That matters because water levels can change the feel of the trip, making the rapids stronger and the ride more demanding.

I like that you are not left to work out the river on your own. A guide handles the boat and gives instructions as the group moves through the rapids. Billy has been singled out for his humor and eight years of river experience, while Gung Wira has been praised for clear guidance and a friendly manner. Gede has also received warm feedback for helping a less confident participant along the route.

The quality of the guide matters here. A rafting trip is not only about the water. You want someone who can keep the boat moving, explain what to do, and help everyone feel secure without turning the outing into a serious military drill. The available guide feedback suggests that this is one of the stronger parts of the experience, though individual guide assignments can change.

The Walk Down to the River

The rafting start point is about ten minutes by car from the Infinity Bali office. From there, you walk through rainforest toward the river. That walk is part of the setting, but it also deserves a practical warning: this is an active excursion from the first steps, not a ride that delivers you directly to a boat.

You should be ready for a physical outing with uneven ground, river activity, and an ATV ride later in the day. The tour information asks for a strong level of fitness, and that is sensible advice. The return from the river can also feel tiring after two hours on the water. One participant described needing help on the way back, a useful reminder that the walk and the rafting together can test your legs.

The reward is a more natural entrance to the river. Instead of seeing only a launch platform, you move from the forest down into the river valley. You will also want footwear that can handle getting wet and muddy. Equipment details can vary, so confirm what is supplied and what you should bring before setting out.

Waterfalls, Carvings, and the Best Scenery

The Ayung route is especially appealing if you want scenery with your adventure. You pass waterfalls and riverside greenery, with stone carvings adding a distinctly Balinese touch to the river walls. The combination gives the rafting section more character than a simple white-water course.

The route also offers a look at plant life and wildlife along the river. The setting is not a formal nature tour, so you should not expect a long explanation of every species. Still, the slower stretches between rapids give you time to look around, cool off, and take in the forest.

I would choose this outing for the contrast between excitement and quiet. One minute you are working with the boat through a rapid. A short time later, you are floating or paddling through a calmer section beneath thick greenery. That pattern keeps the two-hour ride from feeling repetitive.

The rainy season is worth considering. Higher water may make the rafting more thrilling, but it can also make conditions rougher. If the weather is poor, the activity may be canceled and you will be offered another date or a full refund. Good weather is a requirement, not a minor preference.

Buffet Lunch Before the Quad Bikes

A buffet lunch sits between the two activities. That pause is important because the schedule asks you to shift from river rafting to motorized riding without much wasted time. You can dry off, eat, and prepare for the next section instead of finishing the day hungry and worn out.

The supplied information does not specify the menu, so I would treat lunch as a useful included break rather than plan around a particular dish. If you have dietary needs, ask about the food when booking. The meal is also a practical reason to keep the outing together as a package, since you do not need to arrange a separate stop between the river and the ATV track.

The full package can take four to five hours for the activities, though the version with transfers is listed at about nine hours from pickup to drop-off. That large difference comes from transport and timing around both activities. If you are staying outside central Ubud, allow much of your day for the outing.

Riding an ATV Through Rice Fields and Villages

After lunch, you receive a helmet and boots before getting onto the quad bike. The ride lasts about 1.5 hours and follows a guided route through rice fields, bamboo forest, riverside areas, and traditional Balinese villages.

This is not simply a paved road ride. The attraction is the change in surfaces and surroundings as you move off the main route. You see countryside that you would likely miss from a car, and the ATV gives you a direct way to cover the distance. The route is described as challenging but suitable for all skill levels, with an experienced guide leading the way.

The solo option is for riders aged 16 and older. You ride your own quad bike, which gives you more control and makes the experience feel more like an active driving excursion. The tandem option puts two people on one bike, with one driver and one passenger. Tandem bookings must be made in multiples of two, such as two, four, six, or eight people.

Children aged seven to sixteen must have an adult present and ride as a passenger in a tandem arrangement. The stated minimum age is five, but the more detailed riding rules set out different limits for solo riders and younger passengers. Because those age rules overlap in a slightly confusing way, confirm the arrangement for your child before paying.

The ATV portion is a good match for you if you like machines, mud, and countryside views but do not want a technical off-road expedition. You still need to listen to the guide and manage the bike carefully. The route may be suitable for beginners, but suitable does not mean effortless.

How the Two Activities Fit Together

The combo works because rafting and ATV riding use different kinds of energy. Rafting asks you to paddle, brace, and react as a group. The ATV section gives you more individual control and a chance to move through the countryside at your own pace within the guided group.

There is also a useful visual contrast. The river takes you into a wooded valley with waterfalls and carvings. The quad bike opens up rice paddies, bamboo, village areas, and riverside tracks. If you booked only one activity, you would miss half of that contrast.

You can also choose only rafting or only the ATV ride rather than taking the combo. That may be the better call if you have limited time, lower stamina, or a strong preference for one type of adventure. The combined version makes most sense when you want a full active outing and are comfortable spending several hours on your feet, in the water, and on a motorbike.

Guides Make the Difference

The most encouraging part of the experience is the repeated praise for individual guides. Billy is described as funny, highly experienced, and able to read the river well. Gung Wira is associated with a friendly and enjoyable rafting trip. Gede helped make the outing comfortable for a grandmother and granddaughter traveling together.

Those details matter because a guide can shape the day more than the scenery does. On the river, good instructions are part of staying safe. On the ATV route, a steady guide helps a mixed group of beginners and experienced riders keep moving without making anyone feel rushed.

You should still remember that guide names are not a guarantee of who will lead your group. Ask at the meeting point if you have a specific guide in mind, but book the experience for the route and structure rather than expecting one named person.

Price, Transfers, and Time

At a listed price of $20 per person, the combo can offer strong value if the price covers both the rafting and ATV portions as described. You are getting roughly two hours on the river, 1.5 hours on a quad bike, and a buffet lunch, with admission included for both activities.

The value becomes less clear if you need a long transfer or have to arrange transport yourself. Pickup is offered as an option, and the transfer version can take around nine hours from the original pickup point to the final drop-off. That is a full day once driving time is included.

The tour is described as a private activity for your group. That does not mean you have a private river or private ATV course, but it does mean the booking itself is for your party rather than an open private tour arrangement. The details of group size and how the activities are combined should be confirmed at booking.

One important practical point is pickup reliability. A reported problem involved a missed pickup and an incorrect meeting time, followed by a long wait. I would message the operator before the day of the trip, confirm the exact time and location, and keep the written confirmation available. That small step could prevent the worst part of an otherwise enjoyable outing.

Who Should Book This Ubud Adventure

I would recommend the combo to active couples, families with suitable-age children, and friends who want more than a standard sightseeing day. It works particularly well for people who like having a planned route, a guide, and equipment provided rather than arranging two separate activities.

It is also a good fit if you want to see rural Bali without giving up the excitement of an adventure tour. The river and ATV portions show different sides of the area, and the shared nature of rafting makes it easy for a group to participate together.

You should think twice if you dislike wet clothes, rough tracks, uneven walking, or a busy physical schedule. This is not a relaxed countryside drive. The fitness requirement is meaningful, and the river walk can be as tiring as the activities themselves.

The package may also be less suitable for a very young child unless the age and tandem rules are confirmed directly. Children aged seven to sixteen must ride as passengers with an adult, and solo quad riding starts at age sixteen. The stated minimum age of five does not remove the need to check the exact arrangement.

Cancellation and Weather Notes

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the experience starts. Changes or cancellations made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund, and the cutoff uses local time.

Weather can affect the outing. If conditions force a cancellation, you will be offered another date or a full refund. Since both river rafting and ATV riding depend on outdoor conditions, check the forecast and keep some flexibility in your schedule.

Should You Book It?

I would book this combo if you want a high-energy half-day in Ubud and value variety over a slow, polished sightseeing tour. The Ayung River provides the stronger scenery, while the ATV ride adds control, speed, and a look at rice fields, bamboo, villages, and riverside tracks.

The best reasons to choose it are the two distinct activities, the included meal, the experienced rafting guidance associated with Billy, Gung Wira, and Gede, and the low listed price. The main reasons to hesitate are the demanding physical pace and the need to confirm pickup details carefully.

Choose rafting alone if you want the waterfalls, carvings, and river setting without a motorbike ride. Choose the ATV alone if you mainly want countryside tracks and quad-bike time. Choose the combo when you have the energy for both and want one active day that shows you two very different sides of Ubud.
