Bali ATV Jungle Buggy Adventure

This was a fun tour. A little hard to steer the buggy & not much room to drive fast as it is a very windy track. But it was fun & the lunch was fantastic, as well as the chocolate shop attached to the premises.

Please read before booking! My experience at Jungle Buggies was disappointing and stressful. I want to share this so others can make an informed decision. First, be aware that the company does not offer insurance for the buggies — you are 100% liable for any damage, regardless of the circumstances. After being assigned a buggy, you're taken to a garage where a safety video is shown. While informative, the video includes multiple clips of people crashing, which made me uneasy from the start. Once the video ended, I was directed to my vehicle and followed a guide onto the course. The terrain was extremely difficult to navigate — narrow paths, tight turns, muddy and rocky roads, unexpected bumps, and even areas that appeared to pass by homes or villages. I didn’t feel this level of difficulty was clearly communicated upfront. Less than halfway through my first lap, I nearly lost control several times. On the second lap, I lightly grazed a wall, and a mechanical part (possibly an axle) broke. I was told I would be responsible for the nearly $200 repair cost. What surprised me most was how quickly the guide focused on the vehicle, not my safety. I was also asked if I wanted to continue my final lap with a new buggy — and warned that if I crashed again, I’d have to pay again. In my opinion, the course requires advanced driving skills or prior off-road buggy experience. I believe the risks are significantly understated in the initial briefing, and the terrain could be made safer or better explained. I was told by the guide that crashes happen frequently, which made me wonder if this is a common issue. While some may enjoy this activity, I personally found it risky and not transparent enough for first-time or casual drivers. Please research and ask detailed questions before booking.
