💡 Local Tip from Ketut

"ATV Quad Biking is so much fun, but you will get dirty! Wear old clothes that you don't mind getting muddy - you'll be covered in mud by the end, and that's part of the fun! The morning tours are best - it's cooler and the light is better for photos. Listen to your guide during the safety briefing - they'll teach you how to handle the ATV safely. The trails go through some beautiful areas - rice fields, jungle, and even traditional villages. Don't worry if you're a beginner - the guides are patient and will help you. Bring a change of clothes and a towel - you'll need to clean up after! And if you have a GoPro or waterproof camera, bring it - the photos and videos are amazing. It's a great adventure for couples, families with older kids, or groups of friends!"
