Bali: Gorilla Cave Quad Bike Tour & Cretya Infinity Pool
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by MyBaliExplore · Bookable on GetYourGuide
ATVs, caves, and an infinity pool in one Bali plan. This guided quad bike tour mixes jungle tracks, water scenes, and a real sightseeing route, then sends you to a sunset pool club right after. You get a clear game plan from start to finish, so you spend less time guessing and more time riding.
I really like two things here: the focus on clear instruction and safe equipment, and the payoff at the end—Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool with lunch and big views. The whole day runs like a smooth circuit, from the ride to showers, towel time, and a meal you can actually enjoy without rushing.
One consideration: if you want a specific Cretya property name, this is Cretya Sunset, not Cretya Alas Harum. Also, you’ll be driving on mixed terrain that can be muddy, slippery, and wet since the route includes rivers and waterfalls—so bring your best “good footwear” mindset.

Key highlights you’ll care about

- Real guided ATV experience: an English-speaking instructor explains how to drive from start to finish, not just a quick demo.
- Gorilla Cave included: the route is built around the cave stop, not just photos used for marketing.
- Halfway-style views on the ride: you’ll have built-in pauses for scenery while the guides manage the group.
- Standard bikes + safety checks: bikes are checked for quality, then you ride with helmet and boots expectations.
- Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool access after the ride: swim time plus lunch, with shower and changing facilities before you head over.
Bali ATV Through Gorilla Cave, Rice Terraces, and Water-Track Fun

This tour is the kind of Bali day that fits well if you want action plus nature, without spending your whole trip on scooters. You’re not just bouncing around a parking lot track—you follow a guided route that links the Gorilla Cave area with rice terraces, jungly scenery, rivers, and waterfalls.
What I like about that combination is the rhythm. ATVs are fun, but they can also become a blur if the ride is random. Here, the stops give you a reason to slow down and look around, so the day feels like a route, not a loop.
You can also expect a strong “you’ll know what to do” vibe. Guides explain the driving process from the first moment you start, and you get help while you handle your own ATV to the cave and scenic stops.
The Quad Bike Ride: Safety, Gear, and How the Day Feels in Motion

The ride portion is built for people who want to try an ATV without feeling thrown in at the deep end. The guide experience matters here: they explain how to drive from start to finish, and they assist during the journey as you head toward Gorilla Cave and the surrounding sights.
Before you ride, they check the ATV quality. The bikes are described as standard, then assessed for safe operation, so you’re not just hoping your machine behaves. You’ll also be expected to use standard safety tools such as a helmet and proper boots while driving.
Timing-wise, the quad segment runs about 2.1 hours (with the full day landing around 4–6 hours including transfers, lunch, and the pool). That’s a sweet spot: long enough to feel the adventure, short enough that you’re not exhausted before your reward stop.
If you get nervous about terrain
This route is not “dry and polished.” It includes rivers and waterfalls, and the ride is described as passing through streams and jungle/cave areas. So even if you’re an okay driver, plan mentally for splash, mud, and slick patches. If you get cold easily, remember you’ll likely have wet moments before shower time.
Gorilla Cave Stop: What You’re Actually Getting

The Gorilla Cave part is the core reason many people book—and it’s where this tour earns its reputation. The route is set up so you really do go to Gorilla Cave, not just an area close enough for photos.
This stop also plays well with the rest of the day. After you’ve been building confidence on the ATV track, the cave visit gives you a different kind of experience—more exploring, more “look around” time, and less pure driving.
There’s also a practical benefit: the stops help break up the ride so it doesn’t feel like you’re only focused on steering. You’ll get those brief pauses that let you take in the setting around you.
Rice Terraces, Jungle Scenes, and the Route’s Nature Stops

Beyond Gorilla Cave, you’ll move through Bali scenery that makes the ride feel like a tour, not just transportation. The route includes rice terraces, stunning jungle scenes, and scenic water moments with rivers and waterfalls.
Why this matters: it gives you variety within a single outing. A lot of ATV days are basically “drive fast, stop for one quick photo.” Here, you’re guided through multiple scene types, so you get more than one visual theme.
Also, the pace seems intentionally managed. There’s mention of a great half-way stop with views, which is the kind of break that helps everyone stay engaged, especially if your group includes a mix of confidence levels.
If it rains, that can change the vibe of an ATV ride. You’ll likely still have the same route structure and safety briefing, but the tracks can feel more exciting (and more slippery). This is one of the reasons people recommend ATV rides as a daytime activity in Bali’s changeable weather.
Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool: Lunch, Swim Time, and Showers That Matter

Here’s the payoff most people remember: after the ATV, you get shower time, towels, and a changing room setup. That’s a big deal on a wet-and-muddy ride day. You don’t have to scramble to wash off quickly or sit around uncomfortable before food.
Then you head to Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool for lunch and a chance to swim. The pool stop is part of the experience, not an optional add-on. Entry is included, and you also skip the ticket line, so the day stays flowing.
Lunch is served with a rice terrace view, which makes it easier to slow down after the adrenaline. If you’ve been gripping handlebars for hours, it’s a relief to sit down, eat something filling, and look out at the scenery instead of the back of someone’s helmet.
Vegetarian lunch options are available, which helps if your group has different eating needs.
One detail worth knowing: Cretya is where you spend the “afternoon vibe” time after the ride. In at least one firsthand experience, the whirlpool was enjoyed as part of the post-ATV relaxation, which fits the “cool down after the track” logic.
Transfers and Drop-Offs: Getting There Without Losing the Day

You can choose a hotel transfer option where a driver picks you up and takes you through the day’s key points: the ATV start area, lunch, and the Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool. That matters because an ATV outing gets more stressful when you have to navigate traffic and parking before you even start riding.
If you’re using the transfer option, your day is basically sequenced for you. If you’re not, you’ll meet at Abiansila Adventures Bali ATV, and you’ll finish at Cretya Sunset Bresela.
There are also drop-off locations listed as Kuta, Cretya Sunset, and Ubud, depending on the option. That’s useful if you’re moving between areas and don’t want to backtrack.
Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Might Want Something Different)

This tour is a strong match for:
- People who want one guided ATV adventure with multiple nature stops, not a short track experience.
- Travelers who like a clear plan and strong instructions before getting on the bike.
- Couples and friends who want the ride and then an easy, relaxing pool-and-lunch finish.
It may be less ideal if:
- You’re sensitive to getting splashed. Rivers, waterfalls, and stream tracks mean wet moments.
- Your top priority is a specific Cretya location name. This one is Cretya Sunset.
Also, if you’re planning family time, pay attention to the driving rules. Kids who drive must be up to 17 years old (with 17 as the threshold stated for driving). Children can ride tandem with an adult, which can help families include kids without putting them solo on the ATV.
Price and Value: What $40 Buys You in Bali

At $40 per person for a 4–6 hour experience, the value here is mostly about what you get bundled together. You’re paying for:
- The guided ATV ride (about 2.1 hours)
- Lunch with vegetarian options
- Bottled water
- Cretya entry fee (plus a pool club style stop)
- Shower and changing room facilities after the ride
- Hotel pickup and drop-off if you select the transfer option
The best value is when you factor in the pool portion. Many ATV tours end at the trailhead and you have to arrange the rest yourself. Here, the “cool down and eat” stage is built in, and entry is handled as part of the program.
It’s also good value if you want fewer headaches. With transfers (when selected), you lose less time figuring out routes and waiting around on the side of the road.
Should You Book This Bali Gorilla Cave Quad Bike Tour?
I’d book this if you want a guided ATV day with real sightseeing, including Gorilla Cave, and a confident end point at Cretya Sunset Infinity Pool for lunch and swim time. The combination of safety briefing, checked equipment, and post-ride showers makes it feel more “thought-out” than a pure adrenaline-only outing.
I’d skip it (or double-check details) if Cretya Sunset isn’t what you expected, or if getting wet and muddy would ruin the day for you. In that case, you might prefer an ATV route with fewer water-based tracks.
If you’re flexible and ready for a fun, structured Bali adventure, this one is a solid pick.
