Just outside the Ubud area, there’s a jungle village with muddy tracks, rice fields, tunnels, and the wildest off-road ride of your Bali trip.
The jungle vibe, without the crowds.
Private jungle tracks · Muddy puddles · Hidden tunnels · Rice field views
Searching for a UTV buggy ride in Bali? You’re not alone. More and more visitors are ditching the typical tourist trail — the temple queues, the crowded monkey forest, the bumper-to-bumper crawl up to Ubud — and looking for something that gets their adrenaline going instead.
UTV buggy riding has become one of the most-booked adventure activities in Bali. And for good reason: you’re behind the wheel of a powerful side-by-side vehicle, tearing through jungle terrain, splashing through mud, and navigating tunnels that most travellers never even know exist.
The question is: where exactly do you ride a UTV in Bali? And more importantly, where should you ride it?
The Hidden Gem: Bongkasa Village
Most people plan to visit Ubud. And Ubud is beautiful — the rice terraces, the sacred atmosphere, the art scene. But here’s something worth knowing before you go: the Ubud area can get busy, especially during peak hours. Many travellers find themselves wanting a quieter, more open space to explore.
Bongkasa Village
- Quiet back roads, easy access
- Lush jungle & rice field scenery
- Authentic local village atmosphere
Central Ubud
- Best visited with extra time
- Popular, especially during peak hours
- Early planning recommended
Bongkasa Village sits just outside the Ubud corridor, giving you everything that makes the area magical — the jungle canopy, the terraced rice fields, the sounds of birds and flowing water — without the chaos. It’s where Pertiwi Adventure has built its home base, and it’s one of the best-kept secrets in Bali’s adventure scene.
Think of it this way: Bongkasa gives you the soul of Ubud — the green, the stillness, the nature — but with something Ubud can't offer: space to go fast and get very, very muddy.
What the UTV Track at Pertiwi Adventure Looks Like
This isn’t a short loop on a dusty field. The UTV Jungle Buggy Adventure at Pertiwi covers a long, non-repeating private track that takes you through genuinely varied terrain. Every stretch of the route offers something different.

The route is designed so you never retrace your path. That means the excitement doesn’t drop off — there’s always something new around the next bend. Whether it’s a tunnel that swallows you into darkness for a moment, or a sudden burst into open rice field views, the track keeps surprising you from start to finish.
The track is beginner-friendly but never boring. First-timers feel safe and in control; more experienced riders can push the pace and enjoy the challenge of the terrain. You get roughly one hour of driving, which is the sweet spot — enough to feel the full range of the route without exhaustion setting in.
5 Tips Before You Ride
-
Wear clothes you don't mind wrecking.
The muddy sections are real. You will get splashed. Bring a change of clothes — or just fully embrace the mess. Hot and cold showers are available on-site afterwards. -
Don't wear open shoes
Closed-toe footwear is strongly recommended. Sandals and flip-flops are great for the beach, not for off-road terrain. -
Leave your valuables behind.
Lockers are provided on-site. Phones and cameras can be brought, but be prepared for mud spray — bring a waterproof case or just leave them secured. -
Book early in the day.
The track runs throughout the day with flexible start times, but morning slots often have cooler temperatures and better lighting for the jungle sections. -
Add another activity.
You're already at the venue — it makes sense to combine the UTV with ATV, white water rafting, or even the Pertiwi Jungle Swing. Multi-activity combos save you money and maximise your day.
Everything That's Included
Optional add-ons include private air-conditioned transport for pickup and drop-off from your accommodation, and on-site photography packages if you want professional shots of the action.
With 2,500+ reviews and a 4.8-star average, the experience speaks for itself. Over 5,000 guests have booked the UTV Jungle Buggy Adventure — a number that keeps growing because people genuinely can't stop talking about it when they get back.
The Bottom Line
If you’re asking where to ride UTV buggy in Bali, Bongkasa Village is the answer. It’s got the natural beauty of the Ubud region — the jungle, the rice fields, the authentic Balinese countryside atmosphere — but with none of the gridlock and crowds that can drain your energy before you’ve even started your day.
Pertiwi Adventure has built something genuinely special here: a private track through terrain that would take most visitors weeks to discover on their own, wrapped in an experience that includes everything from lunch to a cold coconut water after the ride.
It’s the Ubud area experience, just better — and a whole lot muddier.
