Bali Pertiwi Adventure

ATVs, Rafting and Paintball in Rural Badung

Set out to Jl. Dewi Saraswati No.2 in Bongkasa Pertiwi and you land in Bali Pertiwi Adventure’s world of mud, tunnels and white water. Trading also as Pertiwi Quad Adventure, this place builds full days around ATV rides, Ayung River rafting and even paintball, with daily opening hours from 09h00 to 17h00.

Long Tracks, Tunnels and Waterfalls

Many visitors describe the ATV course as a serious dose of adrenaline, with laps around an 11 km stretch for some, weaving through rice fields, village roads, mini jungle tracks and a small cave or tunnel. Groups often stop at a waterfall for photos, with guides jumping in to shoot pictures and videos on guests’ phones. Several riders call it their favourite adventure in Bali, saying they came back caked in mud and grinning.

Rafting on the Ayung River

Combo days pairing Ayung River rafting with ATVs are a recurring highlight. Guests talk about towering cliffs “100 + yards” above the river, carved Ramayana and Mahabharata scenes on the canyon walls, and stops for swims and rest breaks. Guides like Yogi, Adik and Eddy are frequently mentioned by name for being funny, attentive and turning the descent (with a lot of stairs to and from the river) into a relaxed, sociable run.

From Office Outings to Adrenaline Junkies

Bali Pertiwi Adventure draws a broad mix: corporate groups, families, older riders and speed‑hungry visitors. One office outing described the day as smooth and well‑managed, with rafting “packed with laughter” and suitable for everyone. At the other extreme, experienced riders report that once staff realised they wanted more speed, guides split them from beginners and led fast, muddy private loops where they could push the bikes and buggies as hard as they liked.

Facilities, Lunch and the “Rustic” Side

On site, guests mention lockers, towels and buffet lunch, plus showers and toilets that some call very clean and neat. Others, however, describe unhygienic shower areas with rusty showerheads, or complain that lunch offered only a couple of edible options. One reviewer liked having a hot shower and finishing with a “delicious buffet lunch,” while others highlight cold water and basic comfort as part of a more rugged setup.

Safety, Crowd Management and Equipment Issues

Guides generally come across as patient teachers who walk beginners through controls and stay close on the trail, and most reviewers feel safe. Still, not everyone is impressed. A minority mention ATVs breaking down repeatedly over a 2.5 hr ride, extending the stated 2 hr activity and disrupting plans. Some felt the buggies and quads were pushed through deep, flooded sections that sent hot steam onto their legs, which they considered unsafe.

Pricing, Transfers and Value Perception

Opinions on value diverge sharply. Several guests say the combo packages of rafting and ATV—including lunch and safety gear—are “10 out of 5” and worth every rupiah. Others call it overpriced, citing examples like “2000K for a buggy for 2pax” and short or repetitive tracks circling the same muddy jungle loop. Transfer arrangements get mixed reviews as well: many praise smooth hotel pick‑ups and personal drivers, while a few recount stressful miscommunication over Ubud pick‑up, difficulty using Grab in the area, and feeling overcharged by local drivers.

Who Will Enjoy It Most

For travellers who like getting dirty, don’t mind basic or uneven facilities, and want a big, high‑energy day of rafting, quads and maybe paintball in one stop, Bali Pertiwi Adventure can deliver exactly that—especially if you signal clearly whether you’re a cautious first‑timer or an adrenaline addict so the team can match you to the right group.
