Ubud: ATV Rafting + Zipline, Swing, Sky Bike in Bali Rice Terrace
Book on Viator →Operated by Your Bali Escape · Bookable on Viator
Adrenaline meets rice terraces in Ubud. This is a packed day of ATV/rafting, then airtime above the terraces with zipline, swing, and sky bike. You also get a rice-field cultural stop tied to how water farming works in Bali.
I especially like the way the day mixes wet-and-wild action with calm views, so it never feels like one long theme park ride. I also like that safety gear and an instructor/guide are included, so you’re not guessing your way through harnesses and off-road routes.
One thing to keep in mind: this is a physically active day and it runs only when weather cooperates, so if you’re after a slow, laid-back afternoon, this might feel like a lot.

U Fun Field in Payangan: where the day starts (and why it’s worth it)

Your adventure begins at U Fun Field, in Payangan (near Ubud). This is more than just a check-in point. It’s where the whole action-day vibe kicks off with the big terrace views and the famous Wings of Bali-style photo area that pops up in people’s pictures.
The timing is friendly for most plans: you spend about 1 hour here doing the first round of activities. You’re also in the right mindset fast. From the start, it feels like Bali’s rice country is part of the show, not just background.
What to expect early on is a quick transition from “tour mode” to “activity mode.” You’ll be focused on getting set up for the three terrace rides and getting your bearings before moving to ATV or rafting.
Practical note: the tour ends in a different location than where it starts, so plan your next move with a little flexibility afterward.
Zipline, swing, and sky bike: your terrace airtime in one stop
The U Fun Field portion is built around three different adrenaline flavors—zipline, swing, and sky bike—aimed at people with different comfort levels.
- Zipline: you’ll fly across open air above the rice fields. This is often the easiest way to get the “wow” moment without needing any special skill beforehand.
- Swing: the view is the payoff here. It’s the kind of ride that works even if you’re not chasing speed, because the terraces under you look incredible.
- Sky bike: it’s a fun twist—another way to get that overhead feeling while staying more “in control” than a zipline.
One reason I like this combo is that it gives you variety in a short time. Instead of doing one ride over and over, you’re switching motion types, which keeps energy up and reduces the boredom factor that can hit multi-stop days.
Good to know: the day is rated as requiring strong physical fitness, so even though these rides are approachable, you should expect some movement, climbing, and positioning around the equipment.
ATV quad biking in the jungle tracks: 1.5 hours that gets muddy fast

If you choose the ATV package, the action starts with the quad bike. You’re looking at about 1.5 hours on the ride portion, plus extra time around setup and movement between stops.
This part is designed for natural tracks with off-road challenge—so think traction, uneven ground, and the real-world mess factor. The included gear matters here:
- Helmet
- Boots
- Harness
- Safety belt
- plus an insurance component and a professional instructor/guide
The biggest practical tip is right in the flow of the day: bring a change of clothes. Once you’ve done mud and dust time on a quad, your clothes will feel done, even if you don’t mind getting messy. After you’ve finished, there’s a shower, soap, and towel waiting at the ATV/rafting area, and that’s a huge part of the overall value.
Also, you get locker/storage, which is great because ATV/rafting days can otherwise turn into a juggling act with bags and electronics.
Why this ATV stop is so popular in Ubud: you’re not just driving in a flat arena. You’re riding trails that feel like Bali’s interior, and the adrenaline is real. If you want a day where the scenery matters but you also want to come home tired (in a good way), this is the strongest segment.
Beji River rafting option: rapids, then rinse and reset

If you pick the rafting package, the day’s wet adrenaline shifts from land to water. The rafting portion runs about 2.5 hours, with a planned block of time around the whole stop.
As with the ATV side, the tour includes the practical foundations that make rafting smoother:
- Safety equipment (you’ll have the right gear for being on the water)
- Professional guide/instructor
- Locker/storage
- Shower, soap, and towel available after
- Lunch at the rafting/ATV location
You’ll still want that change of clothes. Even if you get lucky with how hard the rapids hit, you’re doing a water activity, and you’ll feel it after.
What I like about pairing rafting with the terrace rides is pacing. Rafting is intense, but it’s also broken into sections with guide direction and time to breathe between moments. Then you can shift back to terrace “air view” rides later, which feels like a smart mental reset.
If you’re deciding between ATV and rafting: ATV can feel like a nonstop motion day. Rafting has a rhythm—still exciting, but with more natural pauses as you follow the guide’s cues. Choose what matches your energy style.
The full combo timing: how you fit it into 3 to 6 hours

The day’s total duration is about 3 to 6 hours, depending on which package you choose and how the transfers line up.
Here’s the structure you’ll feel in real time:
- U Fun Field for the terrace rides (around 1 hour).
- Then you move on to either:
- ATV first (quad bike ride around 1.5 hours), or
- Rafting first (rafting around 2.5 hours).
This schedule is one of the main reasons the experience lands as “worth it” value for many people. You get multiple activities without it turning into an all-day transport marathon.
Group size also stays reasonable: the cap is listed as maximum 100 travelers. That doesn’t guarantee a private day, but it does suggest you won’t be crushed into a tiny activity space with endless waiting.
Pickup can be included if you select it. That matters in Ubud, where traffic and short distances can still mess with your timing if you’re coordinating by yourself.
Value check: why $32 can feel like a lot more than it sounds

At $32 per person, this is priced like a budget-friendly adventure bundle. The key question isn’t the sticker price—it’s what you don’t have to pay for separately.
From what’s included, the value is strong because you’re covered on the stuff people usually end up paying for on their own:
- Pick up & drop off if you choose that option
- Safety equipment (not just a helmet—also boots and harness gear)
- Insurance
- Professional instructor/guide
- Locker/storage
- Shower, soap, and towel
- Lunch (fried noodles or French fries)
On a practical level, showers plus storage can save you from turning your day into an uncomfortable carry-your-stuff scenario. Lunch included also keeps the budget stable once you’re already wet and hungry.
Also, the fact that this is commonly booked about 24 days in advance tells you it’s not a random pop-up. People plan this as a “one-day adventure” around Ubud’s rice-field rhythm.
A quick note on scope: the tour is presented as an all-in-one combo, but packages can change what you do next. You’ll want to read your exact package details so you know whether your day emphasizes ATV, rafting, or both in the structure you booked.
Culture and rice-field water systems: the calmer side of the adventure

This isn’t only speed and splashes. There’s a cultural component connected to the rice terraces and how the farming system works.
In the rice-field experience, you can expect to learn about Subak, Bali’s traditional irrigation system. You may also visit a farmer hut as part of the rice-field time and get a look at how water management shapes daily farm life.
Why I think this part matters: Bali’s terraces are easy to admire as a backdrop. It’s different when you know the basic water logic behind why the landscape looks the way it does and how farmers coordinate. Even if your main goal is adventure, this gives the day a grounded “why” behind the views.
And it helps you switch gears. After mud trails or rapids, a rice-field cultural moment can feel like a reset instead of another stop to rush through.
Who should book this Ubud adventure, and who should skip

This works best if you:
- want an active day with real adrenaline
- like mixing nature views with hands-on activities
- are okay with wet clothing and plan for a change of clothes
- enjoy the idea of doing multiple activities close together in a short window
It also tends to suit families, couples, and solo travelers, especially those who want one organized day with equipment, guidance, and a meal handled.
I’d be cautious if you:
- prefer slow travel days with minimal physical effort
- get uncomfortable with speed-based activities or climbing around harness setups
- have a hard time with weather uncertainty, since the experience is weather-dependent
Because it requires good weather, you should watch forecasts before the day. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered an alternate date or a full refund.
Practical tips to make your day smoother
These are the details that make the biggest difference once you’re on-site:
- Bring a change of clothes. You’ll be doing both ATV/rafting-style mess and water exposure depending on your package.
- Plan for time on the move. The tour is short-to-medium length, and it’s meant to keep you moving across activity zones.
- Wear something you don’t mind sweating in and getting wet during the water or mud sections (since showers are included after, you can reset afterward).
- If you want photos of the terraces rides, give yourself a little patience. The swing and sky-bike views are the kind of moments people naturally want to repeat.
Finally, remember that this is a guide-led adventure. You’ll get instructions on equipment use and ride rules, and that’s where the day’s comfort level comes from.
Should you book it?
Yes, if you want a single day that combines Ubud’s rice-terrace scenery with serious action—zipline, swing, sky bike, plus ATV or rafting—and you value included gear, insurance, locker space, showers, and lunch.
Skip it if you’d rather do one activity well and spend the rest of the day relaxing. This is not built for long downtime. It’s built for motion, mess, and airtime—then rinse, eat, and move on.
If you’re weighing ATV vs rafting: pick the one that matches your energy style. ATV is faster and dirtier. Rafting has rapids rhythm and more “water adventure” feel. Either way, the terrace rides at the start are a strong reason to choose this combo.
