What the Reddit threads ask
- A May 2024 r/bali thread asked for an ATV and rafting operator that was not boring. The poster said Google reviews looked fake, with mentions of misleading prices and safety worries.
- A January 2026 r/BaliTravelTips thread asked whether every ATV and rafting company is the same. The poster found a $35 deal with negative reviews and did not trust it.
- Replies in those threads name the Payangan cave-and-waterfall ride most often, say drivers often pick the operator, and warn that Ayung rafting can feel tame.
- Several replies in Bali itinerary threads are drivers or agents inviting a direct message for a deal.
The track Reddit names most is not this one
The cave, tunnel, and waterfall ATV that Reddit replies recommend most is in Payangan, north of Ubud. This desk does not sell it. This desk sells the Sedang track at All New Bali Adventure, Jalan Raya Krasan, Sedang, pin -8.5452, 115.2118, 30–40 minutes from central Ubud. It is a jungle loop with mud bowls and shallow river crossings, and no cave. If the cave is the reason you are going, book the cave operator. If you want jungle mud closer to the south, the Sedang track fits.

Fake reviews and cheap deals: what to check
| Check | Why it matters | On this desk |
|---|---|---|
| A street address and a map pin | Many listings resell the same few tracks under different names | Jalan Raya Krasan, Sedang, pin -8.5452, 115.2118 |
| A written total before you pay | Cheap headline prices can leave out the transfer or lunch | The invoice prints the total in US dollars and rupiah |
| Transfer per person or per booking | A per-person transfer can double a small group's bill | $34 once per booking, pickup and drop-off |
| Who you pay, and how | A stranger asking for a deposit is the common scam | You pay the printed total on the spot. This website never takes a card number |
| What the photo package costs | Some tracks sell photos at the end | Ask on WhatsApp before you go |
Is it safe?
On the Sedang track the arena fits a helmet and boot shoes, gives an English briefing, and sends a guide ahead to set the pace. Activity insurance covers ages 6–65, and drivers are 16 or older. Younger guests ride as tandem passengers. Back, neck, or pregnancy concerns go in the booking notes before you pay.
Adding rafting on the same day
Reddit replies are right that ATV and rafting together is tiring. Do the ATV first, then raft after lunch. Ayung rafting is Class II–III: gentler in the dry months, bigger after rain. Booking the Sedang ATV with Ayung rafting on one date takes 10% off both sports. Two riders with the hotel shuttle pay $171 for both sports together.
ATV and rafting totals for 2 to 6 people
What the Sedang ATV costs
| Booking | Self-meet | In rupiah | With hotel shuttle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 rider | $47 | Rp 775.500 | $81 |
| 2 riders | $90 | Rp 1.485.000 | $124 |
| Tandem, 2 people on 1 quad | $69 | Rp 1.138.500 | $103 |
The Rp amount under each price is the same US dollar price in rupiah at Rp 16.500 per US$1, the rate fixed with the rate card on 30 September 2026. It is multiplied out exactly, not rounded up, so the lines on an invoice add up to the total in both currencies. It is a conversion, not a second price.
