Badung Regency, Bali
Uluwatu sits on the Bukit peninsula in southern Bali, where the ATV ride crosses a limestone plateau rather than jungle. The Uluwatu ATV tour costs IDR 600,000 (about USD 36) per person for 90 minutes, and a two-hour silversmithing class runs nearby for IDR 500,000.
Ninety minutes across the limestone of the Bukit peninsula — dry, dusty, open, and the only ATV track in the range within reach of the surf beaches.

The between-sessions option on the Bukit — two hours at a bench while the tide is wrong.

The Bukit peninsula is a raised limestone plateau hanging off the southern tip of Bali, and it behaves completely differently from the island north of it. Rain drains straight through the rock, so there is no deep mud here. What you get instead is hard white track, dust, dry scrub, cactus and long open sight lines.
The ATV route runs through quarry cuts where limestone blocks have been carved out of the plateau, leaving vertical white walls, then across open grazing land to high ground where the Indian Ocean shows on the horizon.
For anyone staying in the south this is the practical choice. From Uluwatu, Bingin, Padang Padang, Jimbaran or Nusa Dua the base is 15 to 30 minutes away rather than the 90-minute drive to Ubud, which leaves the rest of the day free for a surf or the sunset kecak at the temple.
The Uluwatu ATV base is 15 to 30 minutes from Uluwatu, Bingin, Padang Padang, Jimbaran and Nusa Dua, about 45 to 60 minutes from Seminyak and 60 to 80 minutes from Canggu. The turn-off is an unsealed lane off the main Uluwatu road.
The Bukit is bright and shadeless, so morning departures are more comfortable than midday. Because limestone drains fast, this is also the track that copes best with the wet season.

Yes. The Uluwatu ATV track drains faster than any other in the range because limestone absorbs rainfall, so the surface firms up rather than turning to deep mud. Rides run in light rain.
