Bali Swing Place guide

Several spots in Bali now also have built their own famous Bali swings, but The Original — and most picturesque — Bali Swing is found in Ubud. It can get pretty busy even if the experience comes with a hefty price tag of USD35, so it’s best to come first thing when it opens at 8 AM. Early morning soft light also makes for the best photos at the swing.

The Bali Swing in Ubud is actually several different swings of different lengths. Choose from 10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters, and 78 meters above ground, and feel the thrilling sensation as you swing high above the rolling landscape of fields and Balinese jungle and river.

If swinging so high up with little holding you in place is not your thing, the entrance fee also allows you use of the nests scattered around the playground. Giant nest structures on palm trees also make a good photo op and serve as good viewing decks overlooking the hills.

The entrance fee includes a lunch buffet and free-flowing drinks, so you can enjoy their array of playful structures within the grounds. If you’re happy to skip the nests and swings and only have access to the butterfly garden, helicopter, heart-shaped rock, and overlooking rock, then you take their USD10 package instead. It’s recommended to book your package in advance as the swings can get very busy.
