Ubud ATV Quad Bike Gorilla Cave and Cretya Infinity pool
Book on Viator →Operated by CV MyBali Explore · Bookable on Viator
That first ATV roll turns everything on. This Ubud combo mixes adrenaline with real jungle scenery, plus a proper cooldown at the Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool. I like that the experience is built for mixed skill levels with a professional guide coaching you from start to finish, and I also like the practical after-ride perks: shower, towels, and a changing area. One thing to factor in: it’s an active day with wet, muddy track potential, so wear shoes that can handle it and plan for a sweaty ride.
The route style here makes sense: ATV through Gorilla Cave areas, past rice-terrace jungle views, then down toward rivers and waterfalls before lunch. After that, you switch gears from engines to scenery and relax at the infinity pool with views over the rice fields. If you pick the transfer option, you also avoid the hassle of finding your way between stops in Ubud traffic.
Two quick names to know from real-world experience: Rai is the kind of driver who brings friendly, Bali facts on the drive, and guides like Yoga or Ade are known for keeping things upbeat and helpful. If you’re the kind of person who hates surprises, do one small check before you go: the description can mention Cretya, but ask which exact Cretya location you’ll enter so you know what to expect.

ATV Through Ubud’s Jungle: What the Day Feels Like

This is an all-in-one Ubud day that’s designed to keep you moving while still giving you a clean landing at the end. You start in the Taro area, then hop onto your quad bike and follow your guide through tracks that are fun but not just a flat straight line. You’re dealing with hills, changing terrain, and turns—exactly what makes it feel like you’re riding through the landscape rather than just touring it.
The guide part matters more than most people think. A good ATV leader isn’t just pointing the way; they explain how to handle the bike safely from start to finish. The goal is that you can actually enjoy the ride instead of white-knuckling every minute.
And yes, the scenery has weight here. Ubud’s rice terraces and jungle edges look pretty in photos. But from the ATV seat, you’re close enough to feel the setting—cooler air near the shaded tracks, views opening up over valleys, and the sense of being in a real rural area rather than a theme park route.

Getting to the Start: Transfers vs Meeting Points

You’ve got two ways to do logistics: hotels transfer or meeting points.
If you choose ATV with hotel transfer, you get picked up from your hotel and taken to the ATV start, then you also continue through lunch and on to Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool. This is the easiest option if you want the day to feel smooth and you don’t want to think about timing between Ubud stops.
If you choose ATV with meeting points, you head to the start location on your own, and the tour takes you from there to the ATV, then lunch and the infinity pool. The start point is at Alasan Adventures – ATVTaro, Tegallalang, Gianyar Regency, Bali 80572, Indonesia, and the activity ends back at the meeting point.
Either way, keep in mind that the day is about movement. Even with transfer, Ubud is a traffic-and-road network, and you’ll feel that as part of the 8-hour total.
Safety That’s Actually Practical: Gear and Bike Checks
You’ll want to treat this ride like a real activity, not a casual sight-seeing stop. The setup expects you to use standard tools for safety—especially boots and a helmet—because the track can be uneven. If you’re coming from a beach day, swap your flip-flops for shoes that grip.
The tour also includes a quality focus on the quad bike. Before you roll, the ATV is checked for quality and standard readiness so you can drive confidently. That bike condition piece is one of those behind-the-scenes details that makes a big difference. You don’t just want a vehicle that starts—you want one that handles predictably when the track tightens.
Also note the age and riding format:
- There’s a minimum age of 17 for a single ATV.
- The ride mentions tandem mean two person in one bike, which matters if you’re sharing a bike setup.
If you’re unsure which option fits your group, check at booking so you’re not figuring it out last minute.
Gorilla Cave and Jungle Tracks: The Main Adventure Leg

The ATV portion is the star, and it’s built around moving through jungle-style scenery. Your guide leads the route from start to finish, and the ride includes the area of Gorilla Cave, plus rice terraces, stunning jungles, rivers, and waterfalls along the way.
Here’s what that means for your day:
- The track is more “adventure ride” than “guided slow crawl.”
- You’ll get frequent moments where the landscape opens up—especially around rice field views.
- You’re outdoors for the better part of your ride, so prepare for changing conditions.
Two practical tips:
- Plan for you to be a little dirty by the end.
- Keep your most important items secured and dry if you can. This is not the day for a brand-new phone unless it’s protected.
One useful detail that came up as a caution: if Cretya and the infinity pool are a big part of your plan, confirm the exact Cretya location you’ll enter. Cretya can be confusing in descriptions, and you want to arrive knowing which one you’re visiting.
Rice Terrace Lunch: Fuel for the Pool Finish

After the ATV ride, you’ll break for lunch at the Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool area. The lunch is included, with local dishes like Nasi Goreng or Mie Goreng, and there is a vegetarian option available.
This is a smart pairing because it matches the day’s pacing. You’ve got adrenaline and engine noise for hours, then lunch gives you energy without pulling you out of the adventure zone entirely. And because lunch happens before the infinity pool time, you’ll be more comfortable taking pictures and relaxing afterward.
If you’re food-sensitive, don’t just rely on the default. The tour data clearly says vegetarian is available, so it’s worth flagging your needs during booking so the kitchen can handle it smoothly.

Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool: The Best Way to End the Day

The finish is the kind of moment Bali does well: engines off, views on. The tour includes Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool entrance, and the pool area is designed for relaxing with views over the rice terraces.
From a value standpoint, this is where the tour feels like more than just an ATV ride. Many ATV tours stop after the ride, with only a basic rinse and a quick exit. Here, you get a proper scenic cooldown—and that helps the day feel complete.
A practical note: the infinity pool is the payoff, so don’t rush through it. Even if sunset isn’t perfect, the rice field views give you a strong sense of place. Take time to settle, hydrate, and let your body recover from the bumpy ride.
Also, the tour includes shower, towels, and a changing room after the ATV. That’s huge. You’re not just stuck in sweaty clothes waiting for the ride home.
Transfers, Comfort, and Time in Your Day

If you select private hotels transfer, the experience gets more comfortable immediately. There’s less time figuring out where to be and when to meet. One highlight from the sort of guides and drivers you might get—like Rai—is that the ride can include friendly, knowledgeable chat about Bali, which turns the drive from dead time into part of the experience.
The tour duration is listed at about 8 hours, so it’s not a quick half-day. Plan your day around it:
- Don’t schedule a heavy dinner right afterward.
- If you have mobility challenges, consider how long you’ll be outdoors and in the ATV seat.
The good news: the group size is capped at 15 travelers, which usually means better control. You’re less likely to feel like one of many numbers in a long line.
Who This Tour Is Best For (And Who Should Skip It)

This ATV + pool combo works best if you want:
- A hands-on outdoor adventure (not just a view stop)
- A route that includes cave area + rice terraces + waterfalls
- The ability to ride with professional guidance
- A satisfying finish that’s more than a quick photo
You’ll probably enjoy it most if you’re the type who likes doing two different vibes in one day: action first, calm second.
Consider skipping or adjusting expectations if:
- You hate getting dirty or are very sensitive to wet terrain
- You only want gentle sightseeing
- You don’t like shared-group timing (even with a max of 15)
If you’re traveling with friends or family, the tandem two-person bike setup can help you stay together while still following the rules for riding.
Value Check: Is $35 a Good Deal Here?
At $35 per person, this tour prices in the big-ticket items that often cost extra elsewhere: a guided ATV ride, lunch, and the Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool entrance. Add in bottle water and the after-ride rinse facilities, and you start to see why it’s popular for people wanting a full day without surprise extras.
The transfer option can also make it better value depending on where your hotel is and how easily you can reach the start point on your own. The key is simple: if you want convenience, pay for transfer. If you’re fine with planning and getting there, meeting points can keep costs down.
The main value question you should ask yourself is this: do you want both the ride and the pool finish? If yes, this is priced like a package deal, not just an ATV outing.
Tips to Make the Day Easier (Before You Go)
These aren’t fancy hacks. They’re the small things that stop problems later.
- Wear closed-toe shoes with grip.
- Bring dry clothes in mind. Even with towels and changing, you’ll appreciate clean extras later.
- If you’re booking for sunset vibes, do a quick confirmation on the Cretya location you’ll visit.
- If you’re vegetarian, confirm your lunch need at booking so you don’t end up with a last-minute scramble.
- Keep your schedule light. The total time is about 8 hours, and you’ll feel it.
Should You Book This Ubud ATV and Cretya Infinity Pool Tour?
Book it if you want a real Ubud adventure day: ATV riding with a guide, big scenery moments (Gorilla Cave area, rice terraces, jungle tracks, rivers and waterfalls), then a relaxing finale at an infinity pool with rice field views. The included shower and lunch make it feel like a complete experience, not just an activity ticket.
Don’t book it if you’re looking for a calm, mostly paved day or you absolutely hate getting a bit wet. Also, if you’re picky about the exact infinity pool location, do that one check about which Cretya you’ll enter.
If you like action and a good visual finish, this is one of the more balanced ways to spend a day in Ubud without turning it into a logistics puzzle.
