This is a two-adventure day in Ubud. You’ll hit Ayung River rafting and then swap wet paddles for a quad bike through Bali countryside.
I like the focus on guided, on-water thrills: the Ayung is the biggest and longest river in Bali, and your rafting time is about 2 hours with helmets and a guide steering the experience. I also like that the ATV segment is built for real sightseeing—rice fields, bamboo forest, and villages—without requiring expert driving skills.
One thing to watch: organization can make or break your day. One traveler reported a pickup/middle-time mix-up, so I’d confirm exact meeting time and pickup details before you leave.

Ayung River rafting on Bali’s longest route
The Ayung River is the star here. It’s described as Bali’s biggest and longest river, and that matters because you’re not just doing a quick splash and shuffle. You’re spending real time on the water, about 2 hours, with a guide calling the moves and keeping you safe.
The rapids are class III, and during the rainy season they may rise to class IV. That’s not a trivia detail. It changes the vibe from fun challenge to more intense white-water. If you’re prone to motion sickness or you don’t like sudden splashes, you’ll feel the difference. On the flip side, if you want actual adrenaline and you enjoy being in the middle of the action, class III on Ayung is exactly the kind of rafting most people sign up for.
The tour flow also leans toward the scenic side, not just the rapids. There’s time around stone carving and waterfall areas, and you’re guided through a stretch that aims to show wildlife and exotic plants. In practical terms, it means you’re not stuck staring at the river mouth the whole time. You’ll get breaks between moves—time to look up, take photos when the water allows, and reset your breathing before the next push.
Guides make a huge difference on rafting days. In the feedback I saw, names like Billy, Gung Wira, and Gede came up in a positive way for humor, local knowledge, and keeping people safe. Even if your guide isn’t one of those, you can still use that as a standard: you want someone who can explain what’s coming and who handles the boat with confidence.

The real value of rafting with a proper guide
Rafting isn’t only about the river. It’s about timing, teamwork, and reading water conditions. With this tour, the guide is the point. They’re there to help you enjoy the rapids without turning the trip into a panic session. If you’ve done beginner rafting before, you’ll likely appreciate that you’re given guidance instead of being thrown in and told to hang on.
ATV quads in Ubud: rice fields, bamboo, and villages

After the rafting, you dry off (somehow) and get back into adventure mode with an ATV ride. This part is about 1 hour 30 minutes, and it’s guided throughout.
The route is described as off the beaten track with a mix of rice fields, bamboo forest, and lush riverside areas alongside traditional Balinese villages. That combo is why people like pairing ATV with rafting. The rafting gives you water drama. The ATV gives you a slower, more watchable view of everyday Bali.
The track is called challenging but still suitable for all skill levels. Translation: you don’t need racing experience, but you do need to follow instructions and take turns safely. Expect uneven terrain and lots of corners where your guide’s pacing matters. If you’re the type who gets nervous on scooters with traffic, you should still be fine—ATVs are slower than you think once you’re actually on the track—but you’ll want to listen carefully at the briefing.
Solo vs tandem ATV rules (this is where planning matters)
This tour lets you choose:
- Solo ride: you drive the quad. Minimum age is 16.
- Tandem ride: one driver and one passenger on the same quad. Tandem rides must be booked in multiples of 2 (examples given: 2, 4, 6, 8 travelers).
- Children ages 7–16 need an adult present for the passenger tandem ride.
If you’re traveling as a family or mixed ages, read those rules twice. Tandem availability can affect what seating/slotting looks like in your group. The “multiples of 2” note is easy to miss until you’re trying to match rider/passenger pairs.
Gear and how to get comfortable
For the rafting portion, helmets and boots are mentioned. For the ATV portion, the exact gear list isn’t detailed, but you can plan as if you’ll want secure footwear and clothing that won’t mind dust. You’ll feel the ride more if your clothes are loose or your shoes slip. Bring a change of clothes if you hate damp fabric after rafting and dust after quads.
Timing: 4–5 hours activity time, about 9 hours with transfers

The tour summary says the experience is about 4 to 5 hours. That’s the activity block, not the full day.
If you choose with transfers, the total time is described as approximately 9 hours from pickup to drop-off. Drop-off returns you to your original pickup point.
That timing difference matters in Ubud. You don’t want to book this right before something like a sunset dinner reservation or a temple visit. If you’re staying near central Ubud and you can handle your own transport, you may enjoy the shorter day. If you’re not, transfers simplify the day but stretch it.
Also note this: the tour says it’s private, meaning it’s only your group. That’s a plus if you’re trying to keep kids calmer, or if you want less waiting around with strangers. Still, private tours don’t magically erase the need to show up on time for rafting briefings and safety instructions.
Price and value: why around $20 can make sense here

The listed price is $20 per person. At first glance, that sounds almost too good for a rafting + ATV combo. Here’s what makes the value feel realistic:
- You’re paying for two ticketed activities (rafting and ATV tickets are included in the plan).
- You get guided segments for both parts.
- You’re on a full course of time: about 2 hours rafting and 1.5 hours ATV.
Where value can shift is transfers. Pickup is offered, and door-to-door round-trip transfers are mentioned as optional. If you need pickup, you should budget time (and whatever transfer costs apply in your booking). If you’re already positioned for easy access, you may get more out of the base rate.
Also remember the season factor. The rapids are class III but can turn more intense to class IV in rainy season. That changes how “work” the rafting portion feels, which can be a good thing if you’re craving a real challenge.
Safety and physical readiness without scare tactics

This experience asks for strong physical fitness. That’s not only about stamina. It’s also about being able to handle:
- Getting in and out of the rafting setup
- Wearing gear while moving around
- Handling the bumps and body movement of white-water
- Staying alert during the ATV portion
Minimum age is 5 years for the adventure overall. Solo quad driving has a stricter threshold (min age 16). Tandem changes the calculation for kids, but you still need an adult present in the passenger tandem setup for ages 7–16.
Now, the good part: the experience is guided. In the feedback, people praised guides for safety and river know-how. One note highlighted that a guide named Billy had years of river experience and made people feel secure in the boat. Another mentioned Gung Wira giving a briefing and helping with the return climb after rafting. Even if your guide isn’t the same person, you should still expect clear instruction and help where needed.
What about rainy season?
This is your key planning point: Ayung can move from class III to class IV during rainy season. That means you should treat rain forecasts seriously. If weather looks rough and you’re booking for adventure that day, understand you may get a stronger ride.
Practical logistics: how to avoid the one frustrating day

One traveler reported a real headache: a driver didn’t pick them up even though pickup was supposed to be included, and the meeting time was wrong, causing about 1.5 hours of waiting. That’s the kind of issue that turns an exciting day into a stressful one.
Here’s how you protect yourself:
- Confirm your pickup details (time and meeting point) the day before.
- Keep your phone charged and be ready at the earlier end of the window.
- If you don’t receive a clear pickup message, plan a backup. Even simple “where will the driver meet me” clarity can save hours.
Also, the tour is near public transportation. That’s helpful if you need a Plan B for getting to the starting point. It won’t fix a missed pickup, but it gives you options.
The guide experience: what great service feels like here

The standout praise in the feedback isn’t about fancy extras. It’s about how the guides run the day.
- A guide named Billy was described as funny, highly skilled, and strong on safety, with deep river experience.
- Gung Wira was praised for helping guests through the rainforest walk down to the river and giving a briefing before the start.
- Gede was appreciated for making the experience great and for helping with tough moments on the way back up.
Even without knowing your guide’s name ahead of time, you can look for these signals when you meet them: clarity, confidence, and the ability to explain what you’re doing in plain terms. If those are present, your rafting and ATV day will feel like a smooth Bali adventure instead of a chaotic schedule.
Who should book this ATV + rafting combo in Ubud

This combo suits you if you want:
- Two active experiences in one day instead of picking just rafting or just ATV
- A guided mix of white-water challenge and countryside riding
- A day that still includes scenery stops like waterfall and stone-carving areas on the rafting stretch
It’s less ideal if:
- You want a super relaxed tour with minimal physical movement
- You’re traveling with very young kids who can’t handle equipment, movement, and waiting
- You’re the type who hates schedule changes and needs everything to be perfectly on time
If you’re a solo adult, the ATV solo option is straightforward (but keep in mind the min age is 16 for solo quad driving). If you’re a family, tandem can work well—but do the math on age rules and the “multiples of 2” tandem booking note.
Should you book Infinity Bali Rafting Ubud with ATV?
I’d book this if you’re craving an action day with a real mix: Ayung rafting on a major Bali river plus ATV riding through rice fields and bamboo. The value feels strong for a ticketed two-activity plan, and the guide focus is clearly where many people felt the difference.
I wouldn’t book it blindly if you rely on pickup being perfectly timed without confirmation. Do your homework: verify meeting time and pickup details, especially if you choose transfers. If you’re organized, fit enough for the physical parts, and you’re okay with rainy-season rapids possibly getting stronger, this is a fun, high-energy way to see Ubud beyond the main streets.
