About this tour
Pilot your own automatic UTV across seven kilometres of Ubud's backcountry, tackling mud, rice paddies, water crossings, and jungle tracks before cooling off in a natural river pool beneath canyon walls. An instructor leads the charge, sorting safety gear and insurance, with lunch and a river bath included. The ride takes roughly an hour, balancing genuine off-road grit with the rush of driving your own vehicle through Bali's quieter terrain.

What to expect
You'll arrive, gear up in helmet and boots, then follow your instructor's lead across a working private circuit. Expect genuine off-road texture—mud that sticks, water deep enough to spray, vegetation that brushes the buggy sides. The crocodile cave appears partway through; locals fish nearby but sightings are rare. The pace feels unhurried, built for control rather than speed. Halfway through or after, you'll wade into a river pool fed by natural springs, where canyon rock and a small waterfall form the backdrop. A shower and dry clothes wait back at base before lunch.
Good to know
