ATVs, monkeys, and rice terraces in one day. This full-day Ubud combo mixes adrenaline on muddy trails with the peaceful, temple-and-path vibe of Monkey Forest Sanctuary, then tops it off with classic Tegalalang views. Guides like Gede and Cokde are highlighted for keeping things fun, moving on time, and even helping with photos.

The only real downside is the pace. You’re on a tight schedule for about 7 hours, hopping between four activity blocks, so you’ll want decent energy (and a tolerance for getting a bit messy on the ATV).

Key highlights worth your attention

• About 2 hours of ATV riding with safety gear and a professional instructor
• Monkey Forest Sanctuary timing that gives you room for photos, temples, and walking trails
• Admission tickets and lunch included, so fewer surprise costs
• Ubud Art Market for 1 hour to grab snacks, souvenirs, and gifts without losing the whole day
• Tegalalang Rice Terrace for scenic valley viewpoints in a focused 1-hour stop

A full Ubud day built around dirt roads, macaques, and viewpoints

This tour is basically Ubud in four moods, and that’s the appeal. You start with motion and noise on an ATV, then switch to a natural sanctuary where long-tailed macaques share space with ancient temples. After that, you get a practical stop at the Ubud Art Market, followed by a slower, scenic hour at Tegalalang Rice Terrace.

If you like your travel days to feel active but still balanced, this works well. The schedule is long enough to justify the effort, but it’s not so long that you’re stuck in transit the whole time. You also get a lunch and air-conditioned vehicle, which helps when your day mixes outdoor walking with driving around Ubud.

I also like that it’s structured as a private experience for your group. That matters when you want to keep the day flexible without waiting for strangers to catch up, especially around the animal-and-temple parts where timing can get crowded.

Pertiwi Adventure: how the day starts and what the ATV portion really means

The day kicks off at Pertiwi Adventure, where you’ll spend time before you hit the trails. The package includes ATV safety equipment and a professional instructor, and the riding portion is listed as about 2 hours of ATV time.

The route is described as including rugged terrain, muddy trails, and even waterfall scenery. That combo is why this stop feels like more than a short ride for photos. You’re not just doing one loop around a field; you’re out on rough tracks where you’ll feel the handling and the bumps.

A practical note: because the route can involve mud and water-adjacent scenery, you should plan like you might get dirty. That means wearing something you’re okay with after the ride. Also, think about how you’ll handle your phone or camera. If you’re the type who brings everything “just in case,” this is one of those days where you’ll want a simple setup that won’t become stressful after you get splashed or dusty.

The reviews mention an energetic experience and kids enjoying the ATV portion, which makes sense. If your group includes younger riders who are excited by motion and outdoor action, the first half of the day delivers.

Safety gear and instructor guidance: the part that keeps fun from turning stressful

You get safety equipment and a professional instructor, which is the difference between casual and controlled adventure. The tour is built around the idea that you’ll be guided through the ride, not just dropped off at a machine and told good luck.

In the feedback, guides are singled out for friendliness, humor, and help with photos. Names that come up include Gede and Cokde. If your guide is anything like those examples, you can expect your day to feel more like a guided outing than a checklist.

One small reality check: since this is an ATV day, the terrain conditions matter. The tour notes that the experience requires good weather. If conditions are poor, you might get a different date or a refund. That’s normal in Bali, but it does mean you shouldn’t book this if your schedule is ultra-fixed.

Monkey Forest Sanctuary: what to expect around the temples and macaques

After the ATV, you’ll head to Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This is a nature reserve and temple complex in Ubud, and it’s home to long-tailed macaques. The provided details mention numbers ranging from about 340 to over 700 macaques depending on the description used, but the key point is simple: you’re entering a place where hundreds of monkeys live.

The time block here is about 2 hours, and the description includes ancient temples and walking trails. So it’s not just a quick walk-by for a couple of photos. You get time to move at your own pace, stop for pictures, and look around without the pressure of racing to the next bus.

In the reviews, the Monkey Forest time comes up as a favorite for photo time. That’s easy to understand: it’s one of those places where the animals become part of your scenery, and the temples add that historic-feeling backdrop. If you’re hoping for a more natural, less fabricated encounter than a roadside animal show, this type of sanctuary visit is the right direction.

The possible drawback is also obvious: monkeys are monkeys. Plan for close-up moments and keep your attention on your surroundings. That’s not a flaw of the tour; it’s just what this kind of sanctuary involves.

Ubud Art Market stop: a good reset, not just a tourist detour

Between nature and rice terraces, you get a Ubud Art Market stop for about 1 hour. The market is described as the most popular tourist market in Bali, with an organized chaos vibe. In plain terms: it’s a place to browse, snack, and pick up gifts without spending half your day on it.

I like this kind of market timing. One hour is long enough to be useful, but short enough that it doesn’t hijack the day. It also breaks up the walking you’ve already done in the sanctuary, then sets you up for the calmer Tegalalang viewpoint portion.

If you’re traveling with someone who wants souvenirs but doesn’t want a full shopping spree, this is a nice compromise. If shopping isn’t your thing, treat it as a chance to stretch, people-watch, and grab a quick bite before you head to the rice terrace.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace: the scenic payoff hour

The final major stop is Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a famous viewpoint area in Ubud. It’s described as sitting in a valley with scenic lookouts over the terraces and the surrounding green setting. The tour also frames Tegalalang alongside other terraced areas like Pejeng and Campuhan, calling them among the most striking terraced sights in the broader Ubud region.

You’ll have about 1 hour here, and that’s a smart length for most people. Rice terraces look best when you can pause and look across the tiers. Too short and you just walk through. Too long and it starts to feel repetitive.

This is also where the day’s theme changes. Your morning is about motion. Your afternoon shifts into nature and viewing. By the time you reach Tegalalang, you’ll likely feel ready for slower walking and good light for photos.

If your group is the type that wants dramatic views without adding another separate tour, this stop does that job. It’s a classic Ubud must-see, but the best part is that you get it as part of a full day, not as a single isolated activity.

Lunch and included tickets: the value you should notice

This tour includes a lot that people often pay extra for on their own. You get all fees and taxes, lunch, and a dedicated air-conditioned vehicle for transport. The package also lists ATV safety equipment, a professional instructor, the ATV ride time, and guided visits tied to Monkey Forest and Tegalalang, plus the Ubud market stop.

Admission tickets are listed as included for the stops, which matters. In Bali, it’s easy for the cost of attractions to creep up when you piece things together. Here, you’re paying one price and getting the core experiences stitched into the day.

The price is $87.95 per person, with an average booking window of about 13 days in advance. That suggests people plan ahead rather than doing this at the last minute. If you want to lock in a day that matches your Ubud schedule, booking early is a decent habit.

What’s not included is simple: personal expenses. That’s where extra drinks, snacks, or impulse souvenirs usually live. But the tour itself handles the bigger-ticket items.

Timing, transport, and how the 7-hour schedule feels

The total duration is listed as about 7 hours. That’s a meaningful chunk of time, but the structure makes it manageable. You’ll do the ATV portion first, then transition to Monkey Forest, then go to the Ubud market, and finish at Tegalalang.

Transport is private with air-conditioned comfort, and pickup is offered. That helps reduce the “Bali logistics” stress where you’re constantly tracking rides, meeting points, and timing.

Also, even though the package lists group discounts, it’s described as private for your group only. That’s worth paying attention to. Private setup is often a big quality-of-life improvement on days that involve multiple stops where everyone has to sync up.

The realistic consideration is energy. ATVs are active, and Monkey Forest includes walking through temple areas and trails. If you’re on a tight schedule for rest, you might feel the day. But if you like full-day outings, it’s a solid use of limited vacation time.

What I think makes this tour work (and who should book it)

This is best for you if:

• You want one day that mixes adventure plus Ubud nature and sights
• You like the idea of guided ATV riding rather than a solo rental
• Your group enjoys photos and doesn’t mind moving between four stops
• You want lunch included and fewer separate ticket purchases to manage

It may be less ideal if:

• You prefer slow, minimal driving and only one or two attractions
• You hate getting a little dirty, since the ATV route can include muddy trails
• You only have a tiny weather window, because the experience is noted as requiring good weather

The reviews’ tone points strongly toward satisfaction with organization and helpful guides. Names like Gede and Cokde show up as standout examples, especially for making the day fun and supportive (including help with photography). If that kind of guiding style matches your taste, you’ll likely feel it immediately.

Quick, practical tips before you go

• Plan for an active day. You’re doing ATV riding, then walking around the sanctuary and temples.
• Bring what you need for photos, but keep it practical because you’ll be off-road at some point.
• If you’re traveling during a changeable weather week, stay flexible. The tour mentions weather can affect scheduling, with the option of a different date or a full refund.

Should you book the Full Day ATV, Monkey Forest, and Tegalalang Rice Terrace?

I’d say book it if you want a real Ubud day with a balanced mix of adrenaline + nature + iconic views, and you like having lunch and tickets handled. The $87.95 price looks fair for a day that includes guided stops, transport, safety gear, and admission items.

Skip it if you’re looking for a gentle, low-energy experience or you’re not comfortable with the idea of getting splashed or muddy during the ATV portion. Also, if your schedule is too tight for weather changes, this is the kind of activity where flexibility helps.

If you’re aiming for the classic Ubud combo—ATV adventure, macaque sanctuary time, and Tegalalang terraces—this one is an easy yes.
