Our Ubud Experience , to the incredible team that looked after us from start to finish. Our driver, Nanang, was exceptionally hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout the entire day. He took great care of our belongings and meticulously made sure our meals at both the ATV and rafting sites were provided, allowing us to enjoy the activities completely worry-free. Once we hit the water, Gushasim, our boat captain, was an absolute standout. He navigated the rough terrain of the river with expert skill, perfectly blending high-energy entertainment with a serious commitment to our safety. He made the rafting experience both thrilling and secure. Furthermore, the ATV support crew was phenomenal; they were by our side constantly during the ride, ensuring we felt safe while navigating the trails. This level of dedication is rare, and the entire team deserves immense recognition for their professionalism and warmth. If you want an Ubud adventure, this is the team!

Mr.Edy was our guide, and he was friendly, patient, supportive, and very helpful throughout the day. Thanks to Klook for assigning(Edy). The ATV ride was super good. We also tried different coffees at the coffee plantation. Rafting was the best experience I’ve ever had in my life. The Bali swings at the rice terrace were also great. Overall, it’s a must-try experience. This package on Klook is much cheaper than the offline price.

There was no air conditioning, not even a fan, but luckily the windows were open, letting the breeze in. The place to exchange tickets for Arjuna was quite far, which was a bit inconvenient, but it was the cheapest option.

Our tour guide, Moler, was absolutely fantastic! Although the departure time was two hours earlier than expected, we were informed in advance that it was to avoid traffic. Moler was smiling and incredibly friendly throughout the entire transfer. They also gave us a heads-up about what to expect with the ATV, and since it was our first time, they kept cheering us on. We felt so happy and satisfied after the experience! It was a great tour, highly recommended! Five stars, awesome! ✨👍🏻 Tour Guide: Moler
