Mud, rice fields, and a pool view. This Cretya Ubud plus ATV combo pairs a 350cc ATV ride on Ubud’s off-road trails with free Cretya infinity pool access, so your day has both grit and a proper reset. I also like that the route is built for variety, with jungle paths, rice fields, rivers, tunnels, villages, and muddy sections, all with safety gear and a guide.

What really makes the experience feel smooth is the human part. Guides like Yan (and also guides such as Komang Budiana and Ketut in other accounts) are praised for being on time, friendly, and helpful with real Bali tips, not just a scripted talk. I also like that getting to Cretya early can help you enjoy quieter pool time, which matters because Ubud can get busy.

One consideration is the age rules. If you’re under 18, you cannot enter Cretya Ubud, and under 19 cannot swim at the infinity pool, so this stops being a simple “everyone can join” outing. If you are traveling with teens, check these limits early so you can avoid disappointment.

Key things to know before you go

• 350cc ATV on a top Ubud off-road track with jungle trails, tunnels, and muddy terrain
• Cretya infinity pool access plus one complimentary drink and a free Balinese coffee tasting
• Coffee farming stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism, with free local coffee and herbal tea tasting
• Included lunch, bottled water, shower, and changing facilities, which makes the mud part easier
• Private group tour, so it runs around your group and not random strangers

ATV first, pool second, and why that order makes sense

This is built like a day with two moods. You start with a ride that is meant to get your adrenaline up, then you finish with a calm, scenic break at Cretya. I like that the schedule is front-loaded with action, because your pool time feels like a reward, not a chore you rush through.

Also, the total day runs about 7 to 8 hours starting at 8:00 am. That’s long enough to feel like a real outing, but it’s not a full-day travel slog across the island. You also get pickup and drop-off at your hotel, in an air-conditioned vehicle, which is a big deal in Ubud traffic.

Cretya Ubud infinity pool: what you get, what it costs extra, and who it’s for

Cretya is the visual payoff. The infinity pool area is known for views over the rice terraces, and the vibe is more “relax with a view” than “just pose and leave.” You get free access to the infinity pool as part of this package, and you’re not arriving with the burden of figuring out ticketing on-site.

The package also includes:

• One complimentary drink at Cretya
• A free Balinese coffee tasting
• Shower and changing facilities

That shower and changing detail matters more than people think. When you’ve been on a muddy ATV track, being able to rinse off and change comfortably is the difference between enjoying the pool time and just feeling dirty and cold.

What is not included is also important. At Cretya, other paid activities like the extreme Bali swing, zip line, or sky bike cost extra. If those are on your wishlist, budget for them separately.

One more age note that affects the whole plan: under 18 cannot enter Cretya Ubud, and under 19 can’t swim at the infinity pool. So even if your ATV rider is eligible, the pool part may be off-limits depending on age.

Uma Pakel Agro Tourism: your 30 minute coffee break with free tastings

Between the ATV ride and the final pool time, there’s a short stop at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism. It’s only about 30 minutes, which keeps the day from turning into a series of long transfers.

Here, you can try local coffee and herbal tea tastings for free. It’s not presented as a full cultural tour that eats up your afternoon. Instead, it’s more like a reset moment, a chance to sit down, taste something local, and get ready for the next phase.

If you like coffee culture, this is a practical bonus. You’ll leave with a few flavors in mind, and you can decide later whether you want to buy anything back home.

Pertiwi Adventure ATV ride: 350cc power, a real off-road track, and safety basics

This is the core of the day. You’ll ride a 350cc ATV on one of Ubud’s best off-road tracks, and the route is described as a mix of jungle trails, rice fields, rivers, tunnels, villages, and muddy terrain.

The ride time is typically 1.5 to 2 hours, and other timing details in the itinerary also point to the ATV portion taking about that same block of the day. In real terms, you’re looking at a ride that feels like an activity, not a quick circuit around the parking lot.

What to expect on the trail:

• Mud and wet patches, which can mean you’ll come back streaked
• Tunnels and water features that make the ride feel more like a course than a straight trail
• Villages and rice fields, so it’s not only forest all the way through

On top of the route, you also get professional guide support and safety equipment. That’s crucial on a track with tunnels and muddy sections. If you’re new to ATVs, I’d treat this as a learn-and-follow-the-guide experience. Don’t try to “test limits” early in the ride.

Age rules for the ATV portion are also clearly stated: under 16 must be accompanied by an adult for the ATV ride. Another note says under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, which lines up with the idea that younger riders need extra supervision.

Lunch, shower, and how to stay comfortable after the muddy bits

One of the smarter parts of this tour is what it includes after you get dirty. Lunch and bottled water are included, and the day also has shower and changing facilities at Cretya.

That means you can plan to:

• Eat without hunting for food between activities
• Rinse off before you settle into pool time
• Switch into dry clothes so your afternoon feels pleasant, not sticky

I also like that the transport is handled with an air-conditioned vehicle. Ubud heat and humidity can wear you down quickly, especially after a ride. Having that comfort built into the schedule makes the whole day feel less stressful.

Price and value: is $95 per person actually a good deal?

At $95 per person, this is priced like a true activity package rather than just an ATV rental. What you get included is the real value driver:

• ATV ride and all tickets related to the main included parts
• Lunch and bottled water
• A private vehicle with pickup and drop-off
• One free drink at Cretya
• Free Balinese coffee tasting
• Shower and changing facilities

What is not included includes extra activities at Cretya such as swing, zip line, or sky bike. There’s also mention of an extra cost if a special event is involved to enter Cretya Ubud. And there is an extra charge in the solo case.

The big practical catch: there’s a minimum booking of 2 persons. If you’re going solo, there’s an IDR 350,000 extra charge noted for solo participation. If you’re traveling as two people, this package tends to feel much more fair, because the “base” price already covers most of your day’s major costs.

So my take: if you want one organized day that combines adrenaline, scenic downtime, and included meals, this can be good value. If you only want the ATV and you’d rather self-plan Cretya, it may be less appealing.

Pickup, private tour flow, and what “mobile ticket” means for you

Your start time is 8:00 am, and pickup and drop-off are included at your hotel. The tour is also described as private, meaning it’s just your group. That matters because ATV days can be annoying if you’re waiting on strangers, or if your timing gets stretched by other schedules.

The “mobile ticket” part suggests you’ll handle your entry with a digital format. It doesn’t change the experience much, but it can reduce friction on the day.

One more practical point: the tour requires good weather. If weather is bad, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s worth factoring in when you book a short Bali trip, especially if you’re traveling during wetter months.

Who should book this ATV plus Cretya pool day

I think this fits best for people who want a balanced Bali day:

• You want a real off-road ATV ride with muddy terrain, not a tame beginner lap
• You also want a scenic, comfortable finish with pool time and a view
• You like guided explanations and practical tips, not only “go here, then go there”

It’s also a strong match for couples or small groups who can share the cost, since it has a minimum of 2 people. If you’re traveling with kids, the ATV age rules and the Cretya entry and swimming limits mean you’ll need to double-check ages before paying.

If you hate getting muddy, this might not be your kind of fun. The ride is clearly described as challenging with muddy tracks, so you should expect the mess.

Should you book this ATV and Cretya pool combo?

Book it if you want a single day that covers three goals at once: a top-track 350cc ATV ride, a relaxing Cretya infinity pool break with a complimentary drink and coffee tasting, and included lunch plus a way to clean up afterward. The private setup and hotel pickup also reduce decision fatigue, which is usually the hidden cost of DIY touring.

Hold off if your group includes someone under 18 (can’t enter Cretya) or under 19 (can’t swim at the pool), or if you only want one of the two major parts, ATV or pool. Also, if you’re booking as a solo traveler, factor in the extra IDR 350,000 charge, because the math changes.

If your group lines up with the age rules and you’re excited by jungle trails, tunnels, rice fields, and muddy terrain, this is the kind of Ubud day that feels like it belongs on your “best of” list.
