What Is the Bali Swing in Ubud?
The Bali Swing in Ubud has grown from a viral social media trend into one of the most definitive and highly sought-after adventure tourism milestones on the Island of the Gods. Located roughly 20 minutes outside of Ubud's town center, it seamlessly blends heart-racing thrill with the tranquil, sweeping landscapes that characterize inland Bali.
The park features roughly 15 single swings varying in intensity, ranging from beginner-friendly mid-height platforms to extreme, adrenaline-pumping swings that reach up to 78 meters above the valley floor. There are also tandem swings available for couples or friends.

Is the Bali Swing Ubud Worth It? Real Reviews on Trip.com
Personally, I think the Bali Swing in Ubud is absolutely worth it if you love photography and want to capture epic jungle views for your feed. However, if you are traveling on a tight budget or genuinely dislike tourist crowds, you might want to skip it. In my experience, it definitely provides an awesome adrenaline rush and excellent photo opportunities, though you have to go into it knowing it is primarily a highly orchestrated photo experience rather than a serene nature excursion.
The Pros From My Visit
- Unmatched Variety: One thing I loved was the sheer variety. The official location (Bali Swing Pioneer) features around 15 different swings of varying heights. Plus, they have giant bird nests, helicopter decks, and rock beds, which honestly offers way more options than the smaller copycat swings scattered around the island.
- Professional Assistance: The staff members are absolute pros—they act as both swing pushers and personal photographers. I found they know exactly how to guide your poses and are great at snapping the perfect shots using your own smartphone.
- Scenic Views: The jungle and valley views are undeniably breathtaking. Standing there, you really get to take in that quintessential, lush “Bali” aesthetic.
The Cons to Keep in Mind
- It’s Quite Expensive: I found it to be pretty pricey compared to other local activities. Standard entry to the official Bali Swing runs roughly $35 to $45 USD (approx. 500,000 to 650,000 IDR). If you want a full package including dress rentals and a dedicated professional photographer, your total costs will be much higher.
- Long Wait Times: The best and most popular swings have notoriously long lines. I noticed you can easily end up waiting 30–60 minutes just to get a few minutes of actual swinging time.
- A Highly Commercialized Vibe: Don't expect a peaceful retreat; it operates very much like a fast-moving conveyor belt. The staff will enthusiastically yell out posing directions to get you the perfect photo quickly, which can definitely take away from what you'd hope would be a relaxing, peaceful nature experience.

The place is good, but it's located near Ubud, it's a long way from Kuta, and if you're going by taxi, make sure you arrange with the taxi driver to pick you up back, because when you order a taxi through the app, taxi drivers don't go there, and locals charge exorbitant prices. A taxi to Kuta costs 230 according to the app, 650 local.
5/5
Although it's not near the famous rice terraces, I still enjoyed it very much! The dress was an additional 250,000 rupiah, and the photographer was an additional 200,000 rupiah, I think! You line up at the spot you want to take your photo! Sometimes the staff will take your photo for you, but sometimes they won't, so it might be convenient to bring a freestanding tripod! It's best to wear sandals 👌🏻

Widely advertised rice fields with a bunch of photo zones — but for some of them, please note, you will need to purchase a more expensive ticket :)Business Hours: 08:00-20:00Reasons to Recommend: Good photos!
5/5
The Bali Swing is a heart-pounding popular attraction because it offers a thrilling swing experience while overlooking the magnificent tropical landscape. Visitors can sway through the vast expanse of green rainforest, and as the swing swings rapidly forward, overlooking the beauty of the earth, it’s an unforgettable feeling as if soaring through the air.
Here you can choose from swings of different heights, each set in a picturesque place, bringing full excitement with every swing. Not only that, the photo environment here is also very perfect, many tourists will deliberately rent long dresses on site to take photos full of fantastic colors, leaving beautiful memories.
While enjoying the excitement, you can also experience the natural beauty of Bali in depth. Whether you come with friends, partners, or family, swings in Bali are a great experience not to be missed.

Nusa Dua Bali|16.74km from downtown
This hotel is part of a larger resort complex. You can even feed the squirrels at breakfast! The swimming pool is huge and they offer a kids' club, which was really great.
However, I did find a hair on the bedding when I checked in. After I contacted them, they promptly changed all the linens for me. Overall, it offers good value for money, but it's really best for just lounging at the hotel or on the beach. You can have lunch and dinner at the hotel, or explore the many restaurants on the street outside. The cost of living here is comparable to Sanya.FromKRW 156,278

Ubud Bali|22.98km from downtown
This is a premium hotel far outside of Ubud center. Be aware you are about 30 minutes from Ubud if you stay here and there really isn't much to do in the immediate area besides stare at the jungle. Staff was outstanding here with frequent greetings by name and remembering you like a Ritz Carlton.
Because I enjoy regular outings I actually found the location quite inconvenient as an hour a day would have to be devoted just to getting to and from Ubud.
The room I got was enormous and included a dining room, sitting room, bedroom, large bathroom. The in room amenities were great including a free restocking mini bar with snacks (no alcohol) and a large smart TV. The bed was huge, soft, and comfortable.
The bathtub was a downside as it was quite small by western standards (not as small as a japanese tub though). I'm not a very big individual at 173cm and I felt it was too narrow and not long enough. Perhaps suitable for petite individuals only. Be aware of that if like me and many Americans you prefer baths over showers.
The property is very large and you will likely want to regularly use the phone to request the on site golf cart shuttles to get around it as otherwise you will spend much of your time walking uphill from the rooms to the amenities near the entrance like the restaurant and pool.FromKRW 137,801

Ubud Bali|16km from downtown
This was our first time visiting Bali, and we chose Ubud as our first stop. Honestly, we didn’t expect too much… until we arrived at Alaya. 🤍
Alaya truly exceeded all our expectations in every way possible.
First of all, we are so grateful to be upgraded from Alaya Resort to the newly opened Alaya Suites (only opened for 3 months!). It was such an unexpected surprise and honestly one of the experiences that made us fall in love with Ubud.
Our original booking did not include breakfast, and we planned to add it on the spot. But with the upgrade, breakfast was included for us as well. We kept wondering if there would be any hidden charges or extra payment later 😂 but NO - Alaya sincerely invited us to experience their new suites, and we really appreciated that kindness.
The breakfast was amazing too! It’s not buffet style, but “eat all you can” with freshly made dishes upon order, which honestly made the food taste even better. Everything was delicious, and btw… the latte was really good ☕️
Another thing we truly loved was the staff. Everyone served with such genuine care and kindness. Their attitude and hospitality made us feel so comfortable and welcomed throughout our stay. Thank you so much to every staff member who helped us during our stay - you guys were amazing 🤍
The room looked exactly like the photos online (search Alaya Suite) - super clean, spacious, comfortable, with huge mirrors and such a relaxing atmosphere.
And the location? PERFECT. Ubud traffic can get quite busy, so staying here and being able to walk almost everywhere made everything so much easier.
Of course, nothing is 100% perfect, so just a small note:
- The soundproofing could be better as we could hear our neighboring room talking and laughing late at night.
- The gym facilities are a little limited.
But honestly, we really loved our stay here, and this will definitely be the first hotel we revisit when we come back to Ubud again soon 🤍
Thank you for everything,

Sense hotel's location was very quite easy to go anywhere. Its located nearby local supermarket, seminyak beach, Babi guling Pak Malen, Babi guling Pak Genyol, Popella gellato ice cream, Krishna, etc. The room was very clean, Aircon worked very well. The room got hot water for shower inside bathroom, but they don't have any hairdryer, and fridge inside. The wifi wasn't worked at all, and Its a bit hard to find my phone's signal, when I slept inside the room. They said they will fixed it, but its still not fixed. Overall, the rest of the facilities was great. The room was comfortable for a solo traveler like me.FromKRW 20,258

Bali is probably the country I've visited the most. I just love this place. Every time I come here, I stay at this hotel. It's great value for money! It's right on the beach, so you can swim for several hours every day. And the best part is that there's a Rip Curl station right next to the hotel! They offer lessons for both regular surfing and kitesurfing!FromKRW 129,564

Kuta Bali|9.39km from downtown
We like the hotel and we had pleasant stay. The pool and the room were very good. The door to the balcony couldn’t close but after contacting reception , they sent staff come to fixit straight away.
The night we stay was Tuesday. The hotel had buffet dinner with dance. We heard the music from the pool and went there for dinner. They said that if will be until 10PM. But when we agreed to come, buffet almost gone, I asked few time why no more food? They asked what I want they will make. Thats not the way buffet supposes to be.
And the music and dance often break very long. Form when I joined until I nearly full, no music or dance. I asked the man who stayed outside to invite customers in: what’s giọng on?
He went to ask them to play music. But the dancers only started after 10 minutes. They danced 10 minutes and break again.
I was very upset. That night was my last night in Bali.
The next morning breakfast buffet was much nicer.
I hope the hotel can manage the dance better to let customers enjoy. And FYI, that night music and dance finished at 8:30PM. Not 10PM like they told me. I posted some photos with full of food and some empty for your reference . thanFromKRW 64,782

Seminyak Bali|6.77km from downtown
We stayed at D’prima Hotel Seminyak for 3 nights during a shopping-focused trip, and the location was exactly what we needed — right in the center of Seminyak with easy access to shops, cafes, and everything within walking distance. The room was spacious with a very large, comfortable bed, which made it easy to relax after long days out. The hotel is not new and you can notice this in details like the bathroom fixtures and some general wear, but everything was clean and overall comfortable. For the price, it’s a solid budget-friendly option in a great area, especially if you plan to spend most of your time exploring rather than staying at the hotel. If you’re looking for a simple, well-located place to sleep while enjoying Seminyak, this is a good choice.FromKRW 30,499

Bali's Must-Stay Hidden Gem in Ubud ✨ Sthala, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Ubud Bali is truly rejuvenating! Tucked away amidst rainforest terraces, it's surrounded by lush greenery, far from the hustle and bustle, offering ultimate privacy.
The resort grounds are stunning, enveloped by jungle, river valleys, and rice paddies. The popular infinity pool directly overlooks the rainforest and mountains – every photo is a masterpiece. The rooms are spacious and tidy, with a layout that perfectly captures the Balinese resort vibe, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, always available when needed, and the resort's shuttle service makes getting around very convenient. Breakfast offers a wide variety of delicious options, including authentic Indonesian dishes. The SPA experience is also superb; a massage amidst the forest is incredibly blissful.
Waking up naturally to birdsong, you're fully immersed in nature – it's so peaceful and healing. This is definitely my top choice for a Ubud getaway, absolutely worth the trip. I'll be back again!FromKRW 119,546

Nusa Dua Bali|19.15km from downtown
Our recent stay at The Apurva Kempinski Bali was unfortunately one of the most disappointing luxury hotel experiences we have had.
We arrived at around 2:30 PM and waited until approximately 3:40 PM before being able to access a room. During this time, we approached reception several times for updates. While the receptionist initially responded, we were later simply told to wait for an email confirmation and show it to staff once received. This felt unusual and far from the proactive service we would expect from a five-star hotel.
When we were finally escorted to our room, we discovered it had been prepared with twin beds despite our confirmed request for a king-bed room. Even the staff member accompanying us appeared surprised. We were informed that the issue would be investigated, and later received a call advising that a king-bed room was available two floors above us but would not be ready until 8:00 PM.
As compensation, we were offered complimentary cocktails at the Cliff Bar until 10:00 PM. However, upon arriving at the bar, we discovered it actually closed at 7:00 PM. This only added to our frustration, as it seemed no one had verified the information before making the offer.
At around 6:30 PM, we again checked with reception regarding our room status and were told it was still not ready. Rather than providing a solution, we were asked whether we wanted a dinner reservation for later that evening. We ended up having dinner while worrying whether we would eventually be able to move into the correct room.
At 8:00 PM, we returned to reception and shared our concerns with another staff member, who escalated the matter to the duty manager. To his credit, he listened to our feedback and offered several goodwill gestures, including lounge access, breakfast, cocktails and eventually airport transportation. However, as we were staying only one night, most of these benefits had limited value.
We were then told to wait while arrangements were made for our room transfer. By 8:20 PM, nobody had arrived, forcing us to call reception once again. Finally, at around 8:30 PM, the duty manager personally escorted us to the new room, which turned out to be an upgraded room with a private pool.
While we appreciated the upgrade, it was difficult to enjoy it after spending almost six hours dealing with delays, room allocation errors, poor communication and repeated follow-ups. The issue was never about receiving extra benefits—it was about receiving the room we booked and experiencing the level of service expected from a luxury hotel.
To the hotel's credit, the upgraded room made the remainder of our stay more enjoyable, and our second day was much better. However, the first day was so poorly managed that it significantly impacted our overall experience. Mistakes can happen at any hotel, but what defines a true five-star property is how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, on this occasion, The Apurva Kempinski Bali fell well short of expectations.FromKRW 476,402

Nusa Dua Bali|14km from downtown
This hotel is a very good choice 👍🏼 I am a little picky, but here’s my review:
Pros:
✅ No damp smell, well ventilated ( I was worried about this)
✅ No insects in the room. There might be some geckos 🦎 (which is normal and expected) but I didn’t see any.
✅ Very clean in general
✅ Comfortable bed
✅ The service is amazing
✅ The staff is very friendly and helpful
✅ The breakfast is very good, there are plenty of choices.
✅ Their restaurant is also very good, in case you don’t want to go out of the resort.
✅ The vibe at the beach is nice and if you like water sports it is also good.
✅ The pool is huge and very nice
✅ Reasonable price (but it will depend on the season and demand)
Cons:
😑 Sound proof can be better, one can hear everyone from the pool (the sound enters from the main door)
😑 The beach is not the best for swimming, and is a bit dirty in general (not the hotel’s fault)
😑 The gym can be better as there are only 3 machines (spinning, treadmill and elliptical) the dumbbells are fine
✅😄 Overall, recommended! I was happy with my stay at this hotel!
It is good to give it a try!FromKRW 184,996

Resort’s vibe is good. Close to airport and Jimbaran beach was just a short walk away. Staff are all very friendly and professional, always greeting and smiling from their hearts. Pillows and bed are very comfortable…had good sleep every night. However, we found ants in the room & toilet. Staff did a check and left us a bottle of insecticide 😅 just in case we found more of them.
The spa was very good. The Mexican restaurant on the 8th floor serves delicious food and the ambiance there is great.FromKRW 215,272
