Bali ATV Quadbike Through Gorilla Face Cave
Book on Viator →Operated by Hire Bali Cab · Bookable on Viator
Bali goes off-road fast. This ATV quadbike tour from Ubud mixes countryside trails with an unforgettable finish at the Gorilla Face Cave. You’ll ride an automatic 250 cc quad through rice fields, jungle sections, river crossings, and a tunnel exit that ties the whole route together.
Two things I especially like: the small group size (up to 10) means your instructor-guide can actually keep an eye on you, and the package includes the stuff that makes a messy day easier—helmet, shoes, locker, towel, and showers, plus lunch. One drawback to consider: this is an active, muddy adventure, so plan on getting dirty and bringing a way to change afterward.

ATV Quadbike + Gorilla Face Cave: why this route feels different
If your Bali days keep drifting toward temples, beaches, and scooters that all feel similar, this tour gives you something hands-on. You’re not just watching the countryside—you’re moving through it on an off-road quad with terrain changes that keep you alert: flatter track stretches, then the wetter, grippier parts like river crossings and muddy climbs.
The Gorilla Face Cave element is what makes the ride memorable. You follow your guide through the trails and then hit a tunnel that exits through the Gorilla Face. Even if you’ve seen photos of it already, it plays differently when you arrive after a lot of driving—more like a finish line than a random stop. It’s the kind of moment that makes you forget you were just thinking about mud five minutes earlier.

How the 6-hour experience usually works (and why mornings help)

The total tour time runs about 6 hours, but the part you’re there for—actual quad time—is 90 minutes. That ratio matters. You get enough riding to feel like you did the activity, and you’re not stuck for hours doing long transfers with little action.
Because there are numerous morning departure times daily, you can line it up with the rest of your Ubud plan. Morning is also smart for comfort: you tend to get cooler temps for training your arms on steering, braking, and handling uneven ground. You’ll still get warm, because quad riding works your core, but it usually feels easier earlier in the day.
Pickup is offered, and you’re transported in an air-conditioned vehicle. That means less time dealing with logistics and more time staying relaxed until the ride starts.
The gear checklist: what’s included so you don’t overpack

One of the quiet wins here is that the tour handles the gear you’d normally have to figure out yourself. You should expect:
- ATV access (including use of the quad itself)
- Helmet
- Shoes (listed as boat shoes)
- Locker
- Towel
- Showers
- Lunch
There’s also mention of a professional quadbike instructor and a safety locker setup, plus an assortment of support items like changing facilities. The reviews also point to clean, comfortable bathrooms/changing rooms, which matters because you don’t want to spend your post-ride time searching for a working shower.
Practical tip: pack light, but keep a small bag for wet clothes afterward. Even with showers, you’ll likely leave with muddy pants, soaked socks, or at least dust on everything.
Riding through rice fields, jungle tracks, and river crossings

This route is built on variety, which is exactly what you want from an ATV day. You’re guided past changing terrain such as rice fields, jungles, rivers, and sections that can include mud and steep climbs. That variety helps in two ways:
First, it keeps the ride interesting. A long, straight trail sounds fun for ten minutes. A mixed trail stays fun because you’re constantly adapting your body position and how you steer.
Second, it makes your level matter less than you think. This tour uses automatic 250 cc quads, so you’re not juggling clutch technique while navigating uneven ground. Your instructor-guide is there for safety briefing and ongoing attention, so you’re not left guessing when the trail turns rough.
What you should expect from the ride feel:
- Lower-speed control moments when the track narrows or gets slick
- Adrenaline spikes during mud sections, steeper climbs, and river crossings
- A workout, even for beginners, because you’ll brace your legs and grip for stability
If you get anxious about messy conditions, decide honestly before booking. The tour is designed for an off-road experience, so you’ll feel the mud and water rather than ride around it.
The Gorilla Face Cave moment: tunnel exit meets adrenaline

The Gorilla Face Cave is the signature payoff. The route description focuses on a tunnel that exits through the Gorilla Face, and the ride reviews highlight the cave as part of the thrill mix—something that raises adrenaline after the river and mud sections.
Here’s why that’s worth your time: the cave finish gives your quad day a story arc. You start in open countryside, you transition into heavier terrain, and then you end with a bold visual moment that’s hard to replicate on regular countryside drives.
Also, it’s not just a photo stop. You’re still in motion and still dealing with trail conditions up to the cave segment. That makes it feel earned, not staged.
Small-group guiding and safety that actually helps

This tour caps at 10 travelers, and that changes the vibe. With fewer people on the trails, your instructor-guide can keep track of who’s doing fine, who’s moving a bit slower, and who needs a reminder on technique.
One review theme is clear safety briefing and attentive guides throughout. That lines up with why small-group tours are often more comfortable: you’re not lost in a crowd, and you don’t feel like you’re just one rider among many on a “go fast and follow” route.
Another practical advantage: guides can help with photos and video during the ride. That matters on ATV days because it’s hard to stop safely and do it yourself. You’ll usually get a better chance at getting footage that looks like the real experience, not just shaky clips taken while you’re trying to steer.
Lunch and the post-ride reset: showers are not a luxury here

ATV tours can turn into a sweaty, uncomfortable slog—unless they plan for recovery. This one includes lunch after the quad ride, plus shower facilities and locker support.
Why this matters: getting muddy is inevitable on routes with rivers and mud. The shower setup gives you a real chance to cool down, rinse off, and reset your day instead of heading out to dinner still covered in dust.
The reviews also mention clean and comfortable facilities, including changing rooms and bathrooms. That’s a big deal when you’re imagining the day in advance. If you hate the idea of improvising a cleanup, you’ll feel better knowing the basics are handled.
Price and value: is $90.81 reasonable for this package?

At $90.81 per person, you’re paying for an experience that includes much more than just the ATV. Based on what’s listed, the value comes from the bundle:
- ATV time: 90 minutes riding
- Equipment: helmet and shoes
- On-site comfort: locker, towel, showers
- Fuel for the day: lunch
- Expert support: professional instructor and safety guidance
- Transport: air-conditioned vehicle and pickup offered
The fact that you don’t have to hunt down gear or find a place to shower afterward can be a real money-saver in practical terms. If you’ve ever added up helmet rentals, separate transfers, and meals, the total can creep up fast.
What’s not included is also clear: souvenir photo and DVD. So if you want a packaged set of ride photos, plan on paying extra for that, but you’re not forced into it as part of the base price.
Who this tour fits best (and who might prefer something else)
This is a strong choice if you:
- want a non-beach, non-shopping Bali activity that still feels genuinely “Bali countryside”
- like scenic variety (rice fields, jungle, river sections) instead of one repeating trail
- want guided support rather than renting a quad and figuring it out alone
- value comfort after the ride with showers and lockers, not just a finish line and goodbye
You might want to think twice if you’re:
- nervous about getting muddy or dealing with wet terrain
- hoping for a calm sightseeing tour with minimal physical effort
This is built to be active—your arms and legs will notice it.
Should you book this ATV quadbike through Gorilla Face Cave?
I’d book it if your ideal Bali day includes a real activity, not just a drive with stops. The combination of 90 minutes of quad riding, small-group attention, and the Gorilla Face Cave tunnel finish makes it feel like a full experience rather than a quick “ride then leave” option.
Do it if you want value in the package—gear, lunch, and showers are included—and if you’re okay with leaving a bit muddy. If you’re flexible, want countryside variety from behind handlebars, and like guided rides that feel safe and organized, this one is a solid pick for an Ubud adventure day.
