WOW!! We had the best day Quad biking and white Water Rafting!!
We were picked up from out Ubud hotel around 9:30am and driven a short distance to check in for our Quad bike experience. All the staff were amazing and helpful. We were so lucky to have just the 2 of us and our guide for the duration of the tour.
This was unbelievably fun!! You travel through all sorts of terrain...downhill, uphill, mud, more mud, through a cave (which was scary but exciting!) and then through a man-made water track where you have the best time riding through muddy water and tracks. Expect to get really dirty and wet!!!
They supply gumboots and safety helmet, then showers at the end to wash off.
Note...it's very hard to take your camera and film or take photos (not to mention dangerous!) but there was an option to pay for a photographer to follow you and take pictures and video....this was an absolute God-send! For only 200,000IDR (approx. $20AUD) each, it was the best value for money and we now have amazing photos (like nearly 100!) and 4 videos that we would never have been able to get ourselves...it's a must!
Then after showering, we had lunch (incl in the price) at the restaurant...most beautiful setting and meal. We could spend as much time there as we wanted before heading off to white water rafting.
The rafting experience was awesome too. I was a little scared, never having done it before, but it was very tame. No raging river to fall into!! Although Ubud had had some decent rain, the river was pretty tame. Our guide was hilarious and had us laughing the whole afternoon! The scenery is to die for! I'm so happy I got too experience this day.
Just a word of warning (like other reviews), there's many steps down to the river and of course you have to go back up, and there's just as many on the way back. I'm no athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but I was exhausted by the time we got back up to the top!! Hahaha, was seriously considering asking someone to piggy back me!!! But hey, just goes to show I'm not as fit as I thought I was!!
Seriously, the quad bike tour was one of the best things I've ever done and will definitely recommend it to anyone with a bit of adventure in them!
Loved the white water rafting too!!!
