Two speeds can fit in one day. This Cretya Ubud experience pairs a 350cc ATV ride on Ubud’s off-road track with a relaxing stop at Cretya’s infinity pool, plus lunch and coffee. The day is built for people who want mud on their boots in the morning and a great view in the afternoon.

I love how the tour combines active riding with real downtime. I also love the feel of the day because guides like Yan, Yan Mudita, Komang Budiana, and Ketut are known for staying engaged and sharing Bali tips while they keep you safe.

One thing to plan around: there are age rules for the Cretya infinity pool (and strict rules for the ATV). If you’re under 19, swimming isn’t allowed, and the notes also say under 18 may not enter Cretya Ubud.

Quick hits before you go

• 350cc ATV ride on a mix of jungle trails, rice fields, rivers, tunnels, villages, and mud
• Cretya infinity pool access plus one complimentary drink to cool down afterward
• Guide-led safety setup so you can focus on the ride instead of guessing
• A short cultural stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism for free coffee and herbal tea tasting
• Lunch, bottled water, shower, and changing facilities so you’re not stuck figuring out “what now”

How the day flows from 8:00am to a relaxed finish

The tour starts at 8:00am and runs about 7 to 8 hours. You’ll get hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle, and the tour is private, meaning it’s just your group. You’ll also receive a mobile ticket, so you’re not digging through paper on a phone.

What I like about the timing is that you’re not doing the pool as an afterthought. You’ll get your adrenaline first, then you’re set up to rinse, eat, and enjoy the Cretya views. And since Cretya can get busy, being there earlier in the day is a smart move for photos and a calmer vibe.

Pertiwi Adventure ATV ride: the track where the fun gets real

Your ATV portion is the main event. The experience is designed around a powerful 350cc ATV, driven on what they describe as the best ATV track in Ubud. Expect an off-road route that includes jungle trails, rice fields, rivers, tunnels, villages, and muddy terrain. That mix is exactly why it feels like more than just driving in circles.

What you’ll do on the bike

The ride is typically 1.5–2 hours, and the overall ATV stop is listed as about 2 hours. In practice, that usually means you’ll get a safety briefing and time to get comfortable before you hit the more challenging parts. The notes also say you’ll have professional guidance and safety equipment, which matters when the trail turns wet and bumpy.

The reality check: muddy terrain

This is not a “pretty dirt road” ride. It’s the kind of track where mud can splatter and your hands may feel it after. Pack your expectations accordingly. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained, and use footwear that grips well on uneven ground.

If you’ve never ridden before, the bigger bikes can feel a little different. Your best move is to listen to your guide, take the first stretch as practice, and don’t fight the terrain—work with it.

Gorilla Cave element and tunnel country

The tour name includes Gorilla Cave, and the route description mentions tunnels. So you can expect some cave-like passages or tunnel segments as part of the adventure day. If conditions change, your guide will steer the route, but the “dark passage” moments are the kind of thing you should look out for on the way.

Cretya Ubud infinity pool: the view is half the reward

After the ATV, you get access to Cretya Ubud’s iconic infinity pool. You also get a complimentary drink and a chance for a Balinese coffee tasting (more on that next). This is where the day switches gears: less adrenaline, more panorama.

Cretya’s setting is known for rice terrace views, so you’re not just soaking in water. You’re soaking with scenery that makes the whole day feel worth it. And if you time it well—arriving early—your pool time can feel more relaxed for photographs.

Age rules for the pool

This is the part I’d read twice. The notes say:

• Under 19: you might not swim at Cretya’s infinity pool.
• Under 18: entry into Cretya Ubud isn’t allowed (though the note suggests you might explore elsewhere at Alas Harum Bali).

So if you’re traveling with a teen, don’t assume “they can just wait by the pool.” Check the exact age rule that applies to your situation, because it affects whether they can access the pool area at all.

Don’t count on extras being included

Cretya is also a place with other activities like an extreme Bali swing, zip line, and sky bike, but those are not included. There can also be extra costs on special event days for entry. If you want those add-ons, you’ll likely pay extra on-site.

Uma Pakel Agro Tourism: a fast coffee and herbal tea stop

Between the big adventure pieces, there’s a shorter cultural stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism. It’s listed as about 30 minutes, and it includes free tasting of local coffee and herbal tea.

This part is easy to treat as a reset. You’re not rushing, and it gives your mind a break from off-road noise and getting wet. Also, the coffee tasting is the kind of activity where a small amount of local context can make it more fun than it sounds on paper—herbal tea plus coffee gives you options, and the short time keeps it from dragging.

Lunch, showers, and actually feeling comfortable after the ride

Good ATV days include a plan for what happens when you’re muddy. Here, lunch is included along with bottled water, and the tour also lists shower and changing facilities.

That combination matters more than it seems. If you’ve done wet activities before, you know how quickly the day can turn uncomfortable without a rinse and a wardrobe reset. With this tour, you can eat, clean up, and then enjoy Cretya without feeling sticky and distracted.

Guides make or break the experience

One of the most consistent takeaways from the names tied to this tour is that the guide is part of the fun, not just a “necessary driver.” Yan is repeatedly mentioned for being on time and explaining what you need to know. Yan Mudita is praised for being friendly and reliable. Komang Budiana shows up in accounts for excellent guiding and helping throughout the day. And Ketut is associated with a strong focus on safety and a smooth experience.

What that means for you: you’ll get more than directions. You’ll likely get route context and practical Bali tips, which can help if you’re planning the rest of your stay.

Price and value: is $95 fair for a full day?

At $95 per person, this is priced like a full-day activity package, not a half-day gamble. You’re paying for:

• a 350cc ATV ride on a specialized off-road track
• all tickets and ATV ride being included
• hotel pickup and drop-off
• lunch, bottled water
• Cretya infinity pool access plus one drink
• Balinese coffee tasting
• shower and changing facilities

The best value question isn’t “is it cheap?” It’s “does it replace multiple separate tickets and hassles?” For me, the pickup plus ATV plus Cretya access bundled together is what makes it feel like a deal, especially if you don’t want to coordinate transport and admission times yourself.

Two notes to keep in mind:

• The minimum booking is 2 persons, and there’s an IDR 350,000 extra charge for solo participants.
• Extra Cretya activities (swing/zip line/sky bike) are not included, so if you want those, budget more.

Who should book this ATV + Cretya pool day

This tour fits best if you:

• want a real off-road ATV ride (mud, tunnels, and jungle trail energy)
• like a day that blends action with relaxation
• appreciate a guide who shares Bali tips while you travel between stops
• don’t mind that the pool rules may affect younger travelers

You might want to look elsewhere if:

• your group is mainly interested in lounging and views with minimal mess
• you’re traveling with someone who can’t swim or may not be allowed into Cretya Ubud due to age rules
