Bali Adventure: Gorilla Cave ATV and Lazy River Floating in Ubud

Start with a Scenic River Floating Tubing Experience

The day usually begins with river tubing in the Ubud area, and honestly, this is not your typical lazy river. Youโ€™ll be floating along a natural river surrounded by lush greenery, cliffs, and untouched landscapes that feel far from the busy tourist spots.

What makes it exciting is the series of rapids along the way. With seven class II+ rapids, the ride brings just enough thrill without being overwhelming. Itโ€™s fun, refreshing, and suitable for a wide range of ages, which makes it great whether youโ€™re traveling solo, as a couple, or even with family.

Expect to get wet, laugh a lot, and enjoy the rhythm of the river as it carries you through one of Baliโ€™s hidden gems.

Continue the Adventure with Gorilla Cave ATV Ride

After drying off, the energy shifts from water to land. The ATV ride is where things get a bit more intense in the best way possible.

Youโ€™ll ride through a 4.5-kilometer track that cuts across rice fields, jungle paths, rivers, and traditional village areas. The route is long enough to feel like a real journey, not just a quick ride around a track.

One of the highlights is passing through the famous Gorilla Face Cave. Itโ€™s a unique and slightly dramatic spot that makes the whole experience even more memorable. Add in muddy trails, small river crossings, and forest sections, and youโ€™ve got a ride that feels dynamic from start to finish.

Whether youโ€™re a beginner or have ridden ATVs before, the track is designed to be accessible but still exciting.

End the Day at Cretya Sunset Pool Bar

After all the action, the experience slows down in the best way possible. Youโ€™ll get access to the Cretya Sunset Pool Bar, where you can relax and soak in the atmosphere.

Think infinity pool views, jungle surroundings, and a calm vibe that contrasts perfectly with the earlier adventure. Itโ€™s the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy a drink, and just take in everything youโ€™ve experienced throughout the day.

Itโ€™s not just an add-on, it actually completes the whole journey.

What Makes This Experience Worth It

This tour is more than just ticking off activities. Itโ€™s designed as a complete Bali adventure day with a natural flow from start to finish.
