Ayung River Rafting + Bali Quad Bike + Spa Packages
Book on Viator →Operated by Bali Rafting Tours · Bookable on Viator
This is a full-day Bali combo that keeps moving: rafting, ATV/quad biking, then a spa reset. You get class II–III rapids on the Ayung River, two hours on a quad bike through rice fields and jungle-area trails, and then a two-hour massage at Bali Orchid Spa in Kuta. The big win for me is that it’s a true package with equipment, lockers, a buffet lunch, and hotel pickup. One thing to consider: it’s about 10 hours, so it’s a lot of activity in one day, even with the relaxing finale.
I also like that the experience is built for most people (minimum age 5, and there’s a vegetarian option for lunch). And since this is private in the vehicle, your day feels less like a waiting game and more like a smooth schedule for just your group. The only real “watch-outs” are the quad-bike age rules (minimum 12 for a single ride, and kids 5–11 must ride tandem with an adult in pairs).

Key Things I’d Put at the Top

- Class II–III Ayung River rafting with a professional river guide and safety-approved gear
- A 2-hour quad bike session through rice fields, jungle, rivers, and traditional villages
- Two hours at Bali Orchid Spa with a Balinese therapist and massage time built into the program
- You’re covered for the practical stuff: towels, lockers, shower/changing room, and a water-resistant bag
- Buffet lunch + vegetarian option so you’re not hunting for food between activities
- Private pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle so you’re not stuck in a mixed group shuffle
The Rhythm: One Big Day, Three Different Moods

This tour is designed like three “chapters” back-to-back. You start early at 8:00 AM with hotel pickup from the Seminyak area, then you spend about two hours on the river, followed by lunch, then two hours on a quad bike, and you finish with a two-hour spa massage session.
What makes that sequence smart is how the energy changes. Rafting gets your heart rate up fast. The quad bike keeps you in that action zone, but on land. Then the spa is timed to cool you down, which is exactly when your muscles (and hands) will want it.
The day also leans into comfort logistics. You’re not just handed a helmet and told good luck; you get safety equipment, towels, lockers, and access to shower/changing rooms. That matters because rafting and quad biking can leave you damp, dusty, and sandy—especially if you’re carrying your own camera.

Ayung River Rafting: Class II and III Rapids Without the Guesswork

The Ayung River part is the centerpiece, and it’s built around class II and III rapids. That range is often the sweet spot for first-time rafters and people who want real thrills without it turning into pure survival mode.
You’ll have a professional rafting guide with safety-approved equipment, plus a water-resistant bag and changing/shower facilities. In practical terms, that means you can bring a camera with some confidence (you’ll still need to handle it carefully), and you don’t have to worry about how you’ll get through the next activity once you’re wet.
The setting is half the appeal too. You’re rafting with lush rainforest scenery and wildlife in the background. Even if you’re focused on not getting tossed around, the views give you that “Bali feels wild and untouched” feeling that many people chase when they come here.
A small consideration: you’ll be on the river for about two hours, which is long enough to feel like an experience, not a quick splash-and-done. If you’re the type who hates waiting while others suit up, just know there’s some gear time at the start, and there will be a wrap-up after you land.
Bali Pertiwi Adventure Check-In and Buffet Lunch: Getting Fed, Then Getting Moving
Your first stop is Bali Pertiwi Adventure, where you’ll transition from pickup mode into rafting mode. This is also where having the right gear matters, because the tour includes safety-approved equipment, lockers, towels, and the water-resistant bag. You’re not meant to freestyle your own system.
After rafting, you’ll eat a buffet lunch at a riverside restaurant. I like that lunch is included in the price, and that there’s a vegetarian option if you tell them ahead of time. That removes a very real Bali stress: it’s easy to lose time finding something decent between activities, especially if your group is hungry and slightly damp.
Also, buffet lunches are a good “reset meal” after rafting. You tend to burn energy, and you’ll want something more than snacks before the quad bike session. The tour’s setup takes that into account by keeping lunch right after the river activity.
One practical note: this is an active day. Bring sunscreen and plan to use it, because you’re outside for multiple hours across different terrains.
Quad Bike in Ubud Village Area: Rice Fields, Jungle Trails, and Village Passes
After lunch, you’ll head into the second adrenaline chunk: a two-hour quad bike ride. The route isn’t described as just a loop around a parking lot. Expect time through rice fields, jungle-area scenery, rivers, and traditional Balinese villages.
What I like about this kind of ride is that it feels exploratory even though it’s guided. You get to move through more varied scenery than you would with a simple drive-by tour, and the instructor helps you handle the terrain safely.
You’ll also have a professional quad bike instructor, which is key if you’ve never ridden before. And since this is part of a private tour in your vehicle, you’re not dealing with the chaotic energy of lots of strangers at once (a huge quality-of-life thing when you’re trying to follow directions).
Quad bike age rules (important)
This is where you need to plan ahead:
- Minimum age for quad biking is 5, but minimum age is 12 for a single ride.
- Children 5–11 must be accompanied by an adult for tandem riding.
- Tandem rides must be booked in multiples of 2 (examples given: 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.).
So if you’re traveling with kids, you’ll want to think through how many adults and kids are in your group before you book.

What to wear (and what to bring)
The dress code is smart casual. That sounds flexible, but you’ll still want to be realistic: you’ll likely get dirty and you’ll want a change of clothes afterward. The tour includes shower/changing facilities, but your “fresh clothes” are on you, so bring a change.
Sunscreen is also a must because you’ll be outside during the ride. If you’re bringing a camera, just be thoughtful about how you handle it around water and dust.
Bali Orchid Spa in Kuta: Two Hours to Undo the Day

By the time you reach Bali Orchid Spa in Kuta, the day has been active enough that the spa doesn’t feel like an optional add-on. It feels like part of the schedule that your body actually asked for.
You get a two-hour spa and massage treatment with a professional Balinese therapist. That time block is long enough to feel like recovery, not just a quick rubdown.
The spa stop is also a nice mental transition. On the river and on the quad bike, you’re reacting—watching, balancing, holding on, paying attention. At the spa, you’re in a quieter mode where you can finally stop thinking about gear, safety checks, and weather.
And because the tour provides towels plus shower/changing rooms earlier, you’re not showing up to the spa in full “I just finished rafting” mode. You can wash up and be more comfortable when the massage starts.
Price and Value: $130 for a Full-Day Combo That Includes the Extras
At $130 per person, you’re paying for a lot more than a single activity. This package includes:
- Hotel pickup (private vehicle, air-conditioned)
- Two hours rafting in Ayung River plus safety equipment and guidance
- Lunch (buffet, including vegetarian option if requested)
- Two hours quad biking with an instructor
- Two hours spa and massage
- Lockers, towels, shower/changing room, and a water-resistant bag
The value here isn’t just the headline price. It’s that the tour bundles the “in-between” costs and hassles into one schedule. If you were booking these separately, you’d be juggling timing, transport, and what gear to rent. Here, the basics are provided and the order is planned to fit an active day.
Another value point: you also get insurance coverage and taxes/services included. That removes uncertainty about what you might owe at the end.
If you care about staff quality, the overall service reputation shines through in names people remember—driver Wayan Balik is praised for being on time and attentive, and Mr Gusti Eka is singled out in a very positive way. You can’t guarantee a specific person on your date, but it’s a sign you’re likely in capable hands.
Logistics That Matter: Private Vehicle, Mobile Ticket, and a Realistic Day Length
This is listed as a private tour, which means only your group participates in the vehicle (not mixed with other passengers). That’s a big deal in Bali, where shared itineraries can turn into long pickups and stop-start timing.
You also get a mobile ticket, which usually means fewer paper hassles. The day runs about 10 hours, starting at 8:00 AM, so plan your schedule around it. Don’t book late dinners that rely on you being fresh and on time.
There’s also a weather note: it requires good weather. If conditions aren’t right and the activity can’t run as planned, you’ll be offered another date or a full refund.
Who Should Book This, and Who Might Want to Skip It
This package makes a lot of sense if you want a “Bali hits three buttons” day:
- You want active nature (Ayung River rapids)
- You want off-road-style fun (two hours on a quad bike through varied terrain)
- You want recovery (two hours of massage after getting wet and dusty)
It’s especially appealing for couples and small groups who like the convenience of pickup plus a tight schedule.
You might skip it if you dislike long days. Ten hours is a commitment, even though the spa gives you a clear payoff at the end. You should also pay close attention if your group includes kids, because quad biking has specific age/ride rules.
Should You Book This Ayung River + Quad + Spa Package?
If you’re the kind of person who likes your itinerary packed but not chaotic, I’d say yes. The tour is strong because it includes the essentials: guides, equipment, lunch, showers/lockers, and a real spa session at the end. For $130, you’re basically buying one coordinated day that covers the big experiences without making you plan the gaps.
Book it if you’re ready for:
- an early start at 8:00 AM
- two hours rafting plus two hours quad biking
- a two-hour massage as your landing point
Skip or rethink if:
- you want a relaxed, slow paced day
- your group includes children and you don’t meet the quad-bike tandem rules
