My experience at ATV Green Bali Adventure was nothing short of a nightmare. Not only was the equipment in dismal condition, but the lack of safety measures and basic hygiene standards made it an utterly regrettable decision.
From the moment we arrived, it was evident that safety was not a priority. There was no safety briefing provided, leaving us to navigate the ATVs blindly without any guidance or knowledge of potential risks. This negligence is unacceptable and put both myself and others at unnecessary risk .the ATV'S provided were in deplorable condition, with one glaring issue being the non-functional brakes. It's beyond comprehension how a rental place could allow vehicles with such critical safety components to be used by customers. This oversight is not only negligent but downright dangerous.
Adding to the disappointment were the abysmal shower and changing room facilities. They were nothing short of disgusting, with filth and grime covering every surface. It was clear that cleanliness was not a concern for the staff, further highlighting their disregard for customer satisfaction.
To make matters worse, the track included riding on public roads, a reckless decision that led to two separate accidents during our visit. The lack of control over the environment posed a serious danger to everyone involved and could have easily been avoided with proper planning and supervision.
When I voiced my concerns and demanded a refund, I was met with resistance. While a partial refund was eventually granted, it was clear that ATV Green Bali Adventure was unwilling to take responsibility for their shortcomings.
In summary, I highly advise against renting from ATV Green Bali Adventure. The combination of bad equipment, lack of safety measures, unsanitary facilities, and reckless track design turned what should have been a fun outing into a nightmare. Save yourself the trouble and choose a more reputable establishment for your ATV...
   Read moreTLDR Summary: I was very worried reading the negative reviews about Green Bali adventure. Having just finished a round on the ATV with them, I must say I enjoyed it...a lot. Yes, the speeds are not high, but then most people in the tour were handling a Quad bike for the first time, so safety first I suppose. There were others in the group who were experienced and were having a bash.
Wish to know more....read on...
The equipment: firstly they gave us small plastic bags to put on our feet before we stuck our feet into gumboots. The helmets were sprayed with anti bacterial spray ( just a cursory spray). The Quad bikes were in an ok condition. The brakes worked and the bike did not fail on anyone. (Mine turned off once, but I knew how to fire it back up and got moving quickly).
The ride: it was my first time on a Quad bike and the first 10 minutes was a struggle. I kept trying to twist the grip like a bike (the throttle is actually a lever below the grip). I struggled to steer for a couple of mins and felt I was going to lose my balance..but I managed. I then worked out that it is a bit like the jetski....maintain momentum to steer yourself out of trouble spots and use your body and the steering to keep the balance. After the first 10 mins, it was a lot more fun. The track they have made is pretty good; a mix of fields, muddy water and short jungle like areas. The man made tunnel and the waterfall added to the experience. All in all I enjoyed it, being the first time.
Post the ride: They offer clean towels and changing rooms. The changing rooms are pretty average and we just changed out of our wet clothes (yes you do ride under the waterfall). Then you head up to the restaurant to purchase your photos (if you wish) and then redeem the vouchers for lunch (pretty basic feed).
To sum it up...it was a good experience...leave your unfounded fears at home and don't do anything silly. Most...
   Read moreTHIS COMPANY DOES NOT PROMOTE SAFETY!! My mom and sister were riding together (with my 18 year old sister driving), while I drove by myself in front of them. On flat land, my mom and sister's ATV bumped into me. My sister said that the brakes weren't working, but her concern was dismissed by the guide with us. On a steep hill with water flowing down, I was already at the bottom of the hill when my mom and sister's ATV slid down the hill and bumped into mine. Due to the impact, the ATV flipped on its side and so my sister fell and my mom flew off. They told the guides that the brakes weren't working, but the guides kept gaslighting them and saying it was because my sister wasn't holding the brakes hard enough (my sister is 18 and not physically weak; in addition, my mom helped hold the brakes when they were sliding down the hill). My sister had a strained wrist, but my mom had extreme pain in her foot. My sister then had to ride with me for the remainder of the course while my mother had to go back. During the rest of the ATV ride, my sister and I saw another ATV capsize and a chain fall off another ATV. In addition, the tires of most ATVs were balding. Upon admission into the hospital, it was found that my mom had an oblique-displaced fracture on her right 5th metatarsal. Green Bali's insurance policy only covers up to about $571 USD (8 million rupiah), so we could not afford surgery. Furthermore, the company only refunded half of my...
