The original Bali Swing is where the Ubud swing trend all started.

You can swing at varying heights while taking in the beauty of rice terraces and tropical greenery all around you. The setting feels peaceful and well-maintained, making it equally appealing for thrill-seekers and those who just want a serene, beautiful backdrop.

Best for: Beginners, waterfall lovers, budget travelers

What makes this swing near Ubud stand out is its location right next to Tegenungan Waterfall, one of Bali’s most visited natural attractions. You get a rare combination: the adrenaline of swinging above the jungle with the roaring sound of a waterfall as your backdrop. The swing heights here are slightly lower than other Bali swing Ubud locations, making it a great starting point if you are new to swinging or prefer a less intense experience.
After your swing session, you can head down to explore the waterfall itself, making this a great two-in-one stop. There are no official dress rentals on-site, so bring your own outfit if you plan to take photos. Professional photographers are available for around IDR 400,000. Visiting on a weekday is strongly recommended to avoid crowds.
Is it worth it? Yes, especially if you want to combine your Ubud swing experience with a visit to one of Bali’s most iconic waterfalls. The ticket price is the most affordable on this list. The best photo angle at this swing is from the left side with the waterfall visible in the background. Arrive before 9 AM to get the waterfall at its clearest before crowds build up. Wear shoes you do not mind getting slightly wet, the path to the waterfall base has slippery stones.
Combined with: Tegenungan is conveniently located between central Ubud and the Tegalalang area, making it easy to add to a morning route. Pair it with Bali adventure activities like ATV or cycling nearby for a full adventure day.
4. Bali Swing at Uma Pakel Agro Tourism
Where: Tegalalang, Ubud  Price: IDR 200,000/person  Rating: 4.5/5  Distance: approx. 8 km (20 min)
Best for: Coffee lovers, culture seekers, budget-friendly day trips
Transport: No free shuttle, best combined with Tegalalang rice terrace visit; private driver recommended
Uma Pakel offers a unique twist on the typical Bali swing Ubud experience by combining it with a coffee plantation tour. Set against the famous Tegalalang rice terraces, this spot lets you swing with a stunning green backdrop and then sample Bali’s famous Luwak coffee and learn about the traditional coffee-making process. It is a genuinely immersive experience that goes well beyond the swing itself.
At IDR 200,000 per person, this is the most affordable Ubud swing option on the list and still includes access to the swing, coffee and tea tastings, and the plantation tour. Flowy dress rentals are available from IDR 150,000, and photography services are offered for approximately IDR 400,000.
Is it worth it? Yes. If you want to combine your swing experience with a cultural and culinary exploration, Uma Pakel is outstanding value for money. Uma Pakel’s coffee plantation tour includes a tasting of up to 14 different coffee and tea varieties. Take your time with this rather than rushing through. The plantation itself is photogenic and less crowded than the swing area, so bring your camera for the walk-through. For more context on the area, see the Bali Swing Tegalalang guide.
Combined with: Uma Pakel is located in the same stretch as Aloha Ubud Swing on Jl. Raya Tegalalang. Visiting both in one morning is very doable, start at Uma Pakel when it opens (quieter) then walk to Aloha. Add a stroll through the Tegalalang Rice Terrace to complete the Tegalalang experience.
5. Zen Hideaway
Where: Bongkasa, Ubud  Price: IDR 300,000/person  Rating: 4.6/5  Distance: approx. 12 km (30 min)
Best for: Those seeking privacy, nature lovers, a secluded experience
Transport: No free shuttle, private driver strongly recommended; located off main road
Zen Hideaway lives up to its name. This secluded Ubud swing overlooks the Ayung River and a lush green valley, with the swing attached to a tall tree that feels like it is part of the natural landscape. Unlike the busier Bali swing Ubud spots on this list, Zen Hideaway is intentionally exclusive and requires advance reservations, which means you get a much quieter and more intimate experience.
The peaceful setting, the river views, and the secluded atmosphere create a naturally special experience that is hard to replicate elsewhere. Dress rental options are limited here, so it is best to bring your own. A photographer is available on request, with fees starting from IDR 500,000.
Is it worth it? Definitely. If you value a quieter, more private experience away from the crowds, Zen Hideaway is the right choice. Just make sure to book your spot well in advance. Because Zen Hideaway limits the number of guests, the golden hour slot (around 4 to 5:30 PM) books out weeks in advance during peak season. If you are visiting between June and August, secure your reservation at least 2 weeks ahead. The afternoon light over the Ayung River valley is exceptional and worth planning around.
Combined with: Zen Hideaway’s Bongkasa location puts it close to the original Bali Swing. If you want a full Bongkasa day, visit the original Bali Swing in the morning and Zen Hideaway in the late afternoon. Arrange a Bali car hire with a driver to cover both locations comfortably.
How to Combine Multiple Bali Swing Ubud Locations in One Day
If you want to visit more than one Bali swing Ubud location in a single day, it is entirely possible with the right plan. The five swings on this list fall into two geographic clusters, which makes routing straightforward.
Tegalalang Cluster (morning route — closer to Ubud):
- 8:00 AM — Uma Pakel (quietest in the morning, 1.5 hours including coffee tasting)
- 10:00 AM — Aloha Ubud Swing (15 min walk from Uma Pakel, 1.5 hours)
- 12:00 PM — Tegalalang Rice Terrace walk (30 min, just down the road)
Bongkasa Cluster (afternoon route — further from Ubud, 20-30 min drive):
- 1:30 PM — Bali Swing Original (full experience with lunch included, 3 hours)
- 4:30 PM — Zen Hideaway (golden hour slot, book in advance, 1.5 hours)
To cover both clusters comfortably in one day, arrange a Bali car hire with a driver for the full day. A private driver handles navigation, parking, and timing so you can focus entirely on the experience at each location.
What to Expect on a Bali Swing Ubud Visit
If this is your first time visiting a Bali swing Ubud location, here is what typically happens from arrival to your first swing. Most venues follow a similar process, so knowing what to expect helps you feel relaxed and make the most of your time there.
- Check-in and ticket purchase: Most Ubud swing locations have a ticket counter at the entrance. Walk-in is accepted at most venues, though booking in advance via WhatsApp or the official website is recommended on weekends and during peak season (July to August).
- Safety briefing and harness fitting: Before your swing session, trained staff will walk you through safety instructions and fit you with a secured harness. This takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Do not rush this step, the briefing covers how to sit, hold on, and signal to staff if you need to stop.
- Swing session duration: Each swing session typically lasts 3 to 5 minutes, with time for a few passes back and forth. At venues with multiple swings (like the original Bali Swing), you can rotate between different swing heights, which extends the overall experience.
- Photography window: Most venues have a designated photographer window during your swing. If you hire an on-site photographer, they will position themselves before you start. Have your outfit ready and your hair tied back or loose depending on the look you want, the wind at height can be strong.
- Total time on-site: Budget 1.5 to 2 hours at most Bali swing Ubud locations, including dress rental, queue time, swing sessions, and photos. The original Bali Swing is an exception, with 12 swings, nests, and lunch included, a full visit can take 3 to 4 hours.
Tips for the Best Bali Swing Ubud Experience
Dress for the occasion
Flowing dresses create stunning visuals, especially when you are mid-swing with the wind behind you. Choose bright or pastel colors that contrast well with the green landscape. Many Ubud swing locations offer dress rentals, but bringing your own outfit gives you more flexibility and often results in better photos.
Timing matters
Arriving early is one of the best things you can do for your Bali swing Ubud experience. Morning hours between 8 and 10 AM tend to be less crowded, and the soft morning light is far more flattering for photography. If you are visiting during the dry season (April to October), you will also benefit from clearer skies and more comfortable temperatures.
Safety first
All five Ubud swing locations listed here maintain high safety standards, with trained staff, secured harness systems, and regular equipment checks. Follow all instructions given by the staff, let them know if you have any concerns, and never attempt to adjust equipment on your own. Your safety is their priority.
Photography services
If you are traveling solo or want professional-quality shots, hiring an on-site photographer is well worth considering. They know exactly where to position themselves and which angles work best for each Ubud swing. Prices range from IDR 400,000 to IDR 500,000 depending on the location.
