Bali Half-Day Quad Bike Adventure Through Rice Terraces and Mud Tracks
Two hours of guided quad biking through Pertiwi’s rice terraces, mud tracks and bamboo lanes, finished with an Indonesian buffet lunch. This half-day run blends easy countryside cruising with short technical sections — ideal for riders who want scenery with their speed.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect your feet from mud and shifting footpegs; sandals are not recommended.
Bring a lightweight rain layer
Operators provide raincoats in wet weather, but a quick-dry jacket keeps you comfortable and prevents chafing.
Choose solo if you want control
Solo riders get one quad per person; tandem bookings require pairs and can limit how aggressively you ride.
Lock down valuables
Use a small waist pack or leave electronics at the hotel — the trail has water crossings and deep mud that can soak pockets.

Conservation Note
Stay on designated tracks to avoid trampling rice paddies and spreading erosion; using local guides supports community stewardship and minimizes cultural disturbance.
The rice terraces around Ubud are built on volcanic soils and managed through Bali’s traditional subak irrigation system, a community-based water network centuries old.
