When I was planning our honeymoon, I came up with a number of options for things we could do in Bali. My husband and I like a bit of adrenaline, so we thought our activities should include something a bit more unusual. Enter quad biking in Bali.
Our Kuber Bali Adventure Quad Biking Experience
We got chatting to our airport transfer driver when we arrived. He offered private day trips, which sounded good to us as neither of us fancied travelling around Bali on a motorbike. We booked a day with him to take in some activities.
We’d asked to go quad biking and he took us to Kuber Bali Adventure, near where we were staying in Ubud. It was about a ten-minute drive from our resort at the time.
Getting Ready To Ride
On arrival it was looking pretty grey and cloudy, so I was glad we’d invested in waterproof jackets before leaving the UK. The venue gave us welly boots and a helmet. The welly boots were a sign of things to come!
With my phone tucked firmly in my waterproof pocket, we hopped onto our quads for a briefing on operating them. Then we were off with our guide.
Forest Trails, A Waterfall And A Tunnel
Our ride lasted around an hour and a half, with a short stop for a drink. The route took us through amazing forest scenery. It’s quite hard to describe how beautiful it was riding through the private terrain of the estate.
We stopped in front of a waterfall and our leader took photos. You can’t tell from the picture, but I was getting very wet. I had to keep my waterproof jacket tied round my waist afterwards as it looked like I’d had an accident! There was also a tunnel to ride through, which was amazing.
The ups and downs were both exhilarating and terrifying. Some parts were very steep and we took them slowly with guidance from the team. It definitely wasn’t for the faint-hearted. I enjoyed it, but that doesn’t mean the riding was without risk.
Take A Change Of Clothes
I would highly recommend taking a change of clothes. At the end we were invited to drive into a water feature and ride around in the muddy water for a bit. Between that and the waterfall, I was very glad of the waterproofs.
Ask the operator about clothing, equipment, riding requirements and any age or health restrictions before booking. Check your travel insurance covers the activity as well.
What We Paid And Booking Now
It was around £85 for the pair of us, including a light lunch, when we went. There were lockers and clean toilets on our visit. Those are details of our earlier booking, rather than a current package.
There are several sellers online using Kuber and similar ATV names. Confirm who actually operates your ride, where it takes place and which transfers and inclusions you’re paying for. I haven’t confirmed a direct booking link well enough to recommend one here.
As experiences go, this was one of the best I’ve enjoyed. It was challenging and the scenery was amazing. We also tried Bali Swing on the trip. For something closer to home, there’s my quad biking in Kent review.
Have you been quad biking before? Would you face the steep climbs and drops in Bali, or is that a step too far?
What an awesome adventure!! #AnythingGoes
It was great fun Heather.
