Ubud: Zipline, Bali Swing, and Sky Bike in a Private Rice Terrace
Book on Viator →Operated by Your Bali Escape · Bookable on Viator
Ubud swings and terraces still feel like a cheat code for good photos and big fun. This private outdoor combo mixes Bali Swing styles, a zipline, a sky bike, plus a cultural rice-field walk, all set around rice terraces. You get safety gear, traditional outfits for pictures, and a guide who ties the scenery to Balinese daily life.
I especially like two things here: the variety (you are not stuck with just one thrill) and the pacing (you do sightseeing and culture, not only adrenaline). A small drawback to consider is weather. If rain shows up, you may end up doing fewer activities, since outdoor rides can get limited.

Entering U Fun Field: Wings of Bali, dream-catcher swing, and photo spots

The action starts at U Fun Field in Payangan (near Ubud), a newer outdoor park built right on rice terraces. It is designed around three things at once: fun, culture, and Instagram-ready moments. The grounds include major visual landmarks like Wings of Bali artwork and the park’s standout Dream Catcher Swing, which is promoted as the biggest dream catcher swing.
This stop is set up like a flow. You start with orientation, get your safety basics, then rotate through photo points and activities while a guide helps you pose and move through the area. That matters because the Bali swing scene can feel chaotic elsewhere, with people waiting and getting pushed around. Here, the vibe leans more controlled, and the team is focused on helping you get the right angle.
You also get a chance to slow down between rides. There is a cafe on-site (so you can grab a coffee while you wait), which is useful if you want to cool off before your next turn. And yes, there are outfit and accessory options for photos as part of the experience.
If you care about photos, this is a strong pick. With 7 photo booths plus the included outfit/accessories, you are not just doing one scenic spot—you are moving across multiple staged viewpoints.
Bali swing options: pick your thrill level, not just your selfie angle

This experience is built around trying several Bali jungle swing options. You can choose from four styles, including the Dream Catcher Swing and the Extreme Swing, plus the Flower Swing and the Couple Swing for a calmer ride.
Here is how I’d think about choosing:
- If you want classic Bali swing views, the Dream Catcher and Flower-style swings are a safe bet. They still look dramatic, but you are not trying to max out the intensity.
- If your group includes thrill-seekers, the Extreme Swing is the one that gets the adrenaline conversation going.
- If you are coming as a couple or you want something a bit more romantic in the framing, the Couple Swing gives you that built-in storytelling.
One thing I like is that the team supports posing. The staff helps with how to stand and how to hold your body for photos and videos, so you are not guessing mid-wait. And if you do a photo, do not expect the process to end instantly. The setup includes patient help and the option to redo pictures if you do not love the result.
For practical planning: bring swimwear or quick-dry clothes if you think you might get splashed. Even if the park is not marketed as a water activity, swings over outdoor areas can still leave you a little damp depending on humidity and how the day turns out.
Zipline over rice terraces: fast views, big brag factor

After the swings, you move into the zipline portion, which sends you across the greenery for a bird’s-eye view of the rice fields. If you have been to Ubud before, you already know the terraces look unreal from the ground. From the air, they look like they are layered in perfect steps.
The zipline is where the day shifts from posed photos to movement. You get a different kind of thrill: not just the swing’s motion, but the feeling of gliding above the paddies. This also helps the experience feel balanced, especially if you have a mixed group—someone might not want the hardest swing, but they may still be excited to do the zipline.
Safety gear is included, and insurance is included as well, which is the bare minimum I look for on anything with height. The gear and guidance help you feel more relaxed, so you can focus on enjoying the moment instead of worrying about what happens next.
Sky bike: pedal above the paddy fields for that special angle
Next comes the sky bike, a ride where you pedal above the paddy fields. This is a clever addition because it is not just something you do while sitting. You control the pacing with your legs, which gives you a “participation” feeling.
It also delivers a totally different viewpoint than the zipline. The zipline is a glide. The sky bike is a deliberate, steady ride where you can take in the terraces while you move. It tends to be the kind of attraction people remember because it feels unusual compared to standard swing-and-photo stops.
One practical note: if rain rolls in, outdoor activities can get reduced. I’d treat the sky bike and zipline as the first things you should ask about on-site if the weather looks iffy. You can often learn what is happening faster by checking with staff early rather than waiting until the afternoon.
The rice terrace cultural hike: farmer’s hut, bamboo bridge, and real learning
The second part of the experience focuses on the rice fields with a guided cultural tour. This is where the tour stops feeling like a theme park and starts feeling like a look at how people actually live around these terraces.
You hike the famous Ubud rice fields with a guide and stop at a farmer’s hut for cultural learning. The idea is hands-on and conversational: you interact with farmers, learn about Balinese traditions, and you may even join small activities connected to daily agriculture.
There are three standout elements here:
- You cross a bamboo bridge as part of the hike, with a waterfall setting along the way.
- You get time to learn in context, not just point-and-shoot stops.
- Depending on what’s available that day, you can assist farmers with harvest tasks or join for wood fire brewed coffee.
I like this part because it gives your photos a backstory. When you have done swings above rice paddies, it is easy to treat everything as a postcard. The cultural component helps you connect what you are seeing to farming rhythms and local practice.
If your goal is only thrills, you might rush this hike. If your goal is understanding as well as fun, this stop is where the experience earns its value.
Price and what you actually get for $21

At $21 per person, this package aims to be an affordable way to stack multiple big attractions in one Ubud visit. You are not just paying entry for one ride; you are getting a mix of activities and support.
Included items:
- Safety equipment and insurance
- Traditional outfit and accessories for pictures
- Swings, zipline, and sky bike depending on the package you choose
- A guided cultural tour
- Private transportation with a driver if you select that option
- The tour includes travel time in the total duration
Not included:
- Long dress rental (listed as USD15 per person, tied to the 3m trail)
- Photographer (listed as USD15 per person)
- Lunch
Here is how I’d judge the value. The included traditional outfit/accessories and safety gear are already part of the “experience cost,” not optional add-ons. And the activities are stacked: swings plus zipline plus sky bike plus a rice-field hike. If you were to price those separately on your own day, you’d likely spend more time and more money than the bundle.
The extras are optional. If you want the long dress look for photos, budget the extra USD15 per person. If you prefer a pro eye for video and angles, add the photographer option. Lunch is on you, so plan a cafe stop or eat before you start.
Timing, weather, and the best way to reach U Fun Field
The total duration is listed as 1 to 3 hours, including travel time. That flexibility is helpful if you are trying to fit Ubud adventures between other stops.
Weather matters. Outdoor rides are at the mercy of rain and cloud cover. If it rains hard, you might not complete every activity. In that case, prioritize what you care about most when you arrive, and be ready for substitutions or fewer rides.
Getting there is another practical point. The meeting point is U Fun Field at Jl. Banjar Gadungan, Bresela, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80572. If you did not add private transport with a driver, it is often easiest to use a Grab or taxi straight to the park. It saves time and stress.
If you did add private transport, you will still want to be clear on pickup timing so you do not waste precious daylight. And if you are using public transport, the listing notes it is near public transportation, which can help you if you are traveling light.
Private group feel in Ubud: good for families and mixed ages

This is a private tour/activity, so only your group participates. That alone changes the experience. You avoid the constant waiting for strangers, and you get more direct guidance on when to move to the next activity.
It is also promoted as family-friendly for ages 5 to 99. That does not mean every ride will feel identical for every age, but it does suggest the staff is used to handling a wide range of comfort levels. The key is to choose swing intensity and rides that match your group.
Wheelchair note: a wheelchair can access the area, but the activities themselves cannot be participated in. If someone in your group wants to observe, you can plan for scenic viewpoints and photo time, but expect the rides to be for those who can do the activity movement.
Service animals are allowed. If you travel with one, this is a good sign that the operation is set up to accommodate more than just standard policies.
Who should book this private rice-terrace adventure?
I think this tour fits best if you want a one-stop Ubud day with clear structure. It is ideal for:
- Couples who want both thrill rides and scenic photo moments (the Couple Swing and the many photo spots help).
- Families who need a guided plan so the day does not fall apart between attractions.
- People who want culture without spending the whole day in a museum setting.
- Anyone who wants strong variety: swings, zipline, sky bike, plus a rice-field hike.
It may not be the best match if you hate height rides or you want only a calm walk. The core of the first half is thrill-based, so you will spend more time in activity zones than in quiet viewpoints.
And if you are short on time, this is still workable. The duration is short-to-medium, and you can pick a package level based on which rides you really care about.
Should you book it? My quick call
If your checklist includes Bali swing photos, at least one higher-adrenaline ride, and a guided rice-field experience with farmer interaction, I’d say book it. The stacked activities for the price, plus the included safety gear, insurance, and traditional outfit setup, make it a strong value play for Ubud.
I’d only pause if rain is likely during your visit or if your group prefers slow, quiet sightseeing only. In that case, you might still enjoy the cultural hike and viewpoints, but you may not get every ride.
If you do book, plan for flexibility. Arrive ready to do the activities in the order the staff recommends that day, and keep an eye on what’s possible when weather changes. That approach turns a rainy Ubud day from a disappointment into a still-fun plan.
