The Experience

Before You Go

Wear durable closed-toe shoes

ATV and river sections involve wet, muddy, and uneven terrain; closed-toe shoes protect feet and improve grip.

Bring a small waterproof bag

Protect phones, cash, and cameras during rafting and sudden showers on the terraces.

Hydrate and pace yourself

The full-day tour runs around nine hours—drink often and take breaks between activities to avoid fatigue.

Schedule early pickup

Start early to avoid peak heat and enjoy fuller river flows during the wet season; afternoons can be dustier for the ATV.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Campuhan Ridge Walk for a quiet sunrise stroll after the tour
  • Local family-run warungs near Tegalalang for simple iced coffee and banana fritters

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (in temple edges and some trails)
  • Kingfisher and common tropical songbirds along river corridors

Conservation Note

Respect local waterways and rice fields by avoiding single-use plastics, following guides’ instructions, and staying on designated paths to prevent erosion and damage to terraced paddies.

Ubud grew as a cultural and arts center; the rice terraces reflect the subak cooperative irrigation system that has managed water and land for centuries.
