What to Wear for Bali ATV & Rafting: Complete Outfit & Shoes Guide (2026)
Wondering what clothes to wear, whether your sneakers will get ruined by jungle mud, or if flip-flops are allowed on the river? Here is the definitive, practical guide on outfits, footwear, waterproof gear, and what to pack in your day bag for an unforgettable Ubud adventure.
What Should You Wear for ATV and Rafting in Bali?
- Top: Lightweight dark t-shirt, rash guard, or old athletic shirt (avoid white, as red volcanic mud may stain).
- Bottom: Board shorts, athletic shorts, or quick-dry leggings that can get thoroughly wet and muddy.
- Footwear for ATV: Wear socks! We provide sanitized rubber mud boots free of charge to protect your feet and shoes.
- Footwear for Rafting: Water shoes, secure strap sandals (Teva/Chaco style), or old sneakers. Loose flip-flops are not recommended.
- Essential to Pack: One complete set of dry clothes, fresh undergarments, and a small plastic bag for wet items.
Activity-Specific Outfit Recommendations
1. Bali ATV Quad Biking Outfit
Our private 2.5 km trail features 90% mud, deep water splash basins, and volcanic rock tunnels. You will get splashed!
- Wear: Old t-shirt or tank top (dark colors preferred) + comfortable shorts.
- Footwear: Bring comfortable socks. We supply sanitized rubber knee-high boots so your personal shoes remain spotless in your locker.
- Safety Gear Provided: CE-certified full helmets and optional chest protectors.
- Eyewear: Sunglasses with a neck strap or sports glasses are recommended to protect eyes from occasional mud splatter.
2. Ayung River White Water Rafting Outfit
You will get 100% drenched from head to toe during the 10 km Class II–III rapids and waterfall swimming stops.
- Wear: Swimwear, board shorts, or UV rash guard. Avoid heavy cotton or denim which becomes heavy and cold when wet.
- Footwear: Water booties, river sandals with ankle straps, or old trainers. Do NOT wear bare feet or unstrapped flip-flops.
- Safety Gear Provided: Buoyancy life jacket, safety helmet, and lightweight paddle.
- Valuables: Leave phones in basecamp lockers, or place in our guide's waterproof dry-bag on the raft.
What You Should Leave in Your Hotel Room
Balinese tropical jungle clay has a natural reddish tint that can permanently stain expensive white linens.
Rings, gold chains, and non-waterproof watches can slip off during river rapids or aggressive steering.
Only bring a small amount of cash for drinks or guide tips. Passports can remain safe in your hotel safe.
Rapids will immediately suck loose flip-flops off your feet. Always wear strapped footwear for rafting.
