Swings. We loved them as kids, we love them as adults and looks like Bali figured this out.
We are talking adult-size jungle swings – fixed at a tall cliff – hung on two tall trees, overlooking the stunning landscapes and sceneries of Bali. These more-than-average swings allow you to swing right off the edge! It’s daring!
And we are going to explore all the best places in Bali that offer this epic experience. So swing along with us as we search for the answers right here.
Ubud was the original place to start the swing madness in Bali. So to honour that, we begin here.
This is one of the go-to Bali Swing destinations. You will find the Aloha Ubud Swing just 5 kilometres from the Arjun Statue, in the direction towards Tagallalang.
So what do you do here? Easy, you hop on any swing – they have nine, and swing to your heart’s content immersing in the panoramic views of the lush verdant tropics and rice terraces of Bali. Get that priceless Instagram shots, and end it all with some good coffee.
This swing is one of the most visited Bali Swings. Located 20-mins from Ubud, it has over thirteen jungle swings that will either thrill or scare you. We are talking swings set at 10 meters high, 15, 20 and even 78 meters high!!! (But remember, the higher it goes, the greater the views and crazier the experience is!)
They also have a lovely butterfly garden and other alluring attractions.
The entrance ticket is around 10 USD p.p. (But with a lunch package, it can cost about 36 USD p.p.)

Zen Hideaway is a stunning riverfront villa – hidden in the tropics, 30-mins from Ubud – past Bongkasa. The swing is homed here, hung with the support of two sturdy coconut trees, atop a hill. Simply swing into the picturesque views of a river, mini-waterfall, rice fields and Mount Agung in the distance!
(Note: you don’t have to rent the villa to use the swing, simply pay an entrance fee of 17 USD p.p.)
This spot is popular amongst travel influencers. Located north of Bali, the place is found on the hillside of Wanagiri. If you are heading straight from the airport, it can take approx. 2-hours.
Fun fact – this popular swinging destination offers several locations with swings. A different swing spot provides different views. May it be the gorgeous Lake Tambingan, Lake Buyan or the breathtaking mountainscapes. You can travel around and enjoy it all.
Here’s a unique treat. We are sure you have seen images of the stunning rice terraces in Bali. So what if you can swing above these very iconic sceneries?
Well, that’s what the Tegalalang Rice Terrace Swing offers. It’s approx. 20-mins from Ubud and 1-hour from Denpasar.
There are two swings. Both offer priceless views. There is a safety rope/harness attached to the swing to help you enjoy the swing without slipping off!
Homed in the village of Alas Harum (20 mins from Ubud), there are three incredible levels of swings you can try here!
(Tip: by visiting early you can avoid wasting time in the queues to try all the swings) The highest swing requires a full-body harness, the other two only require a harness around the waist.
The landscape is everything here and it’s almost like something out of a little game park – we are talking dancing bridges, riding sky bikes, taking selfies on human-size birds nest and more!
This stunning jungle swing spot is located adjacent to the famous Tegallalang Rice Terrace.
Strap on the safety harnesses and grip from both hands, and swing up into the air. It’s epic! We advise you to simply absorb the incredibly panoramic views of the river valley and the stunning tree-filled landscape.
Since the place is located near the Luwak Coffee place. You can treat yourself to some fresh coffee.
This is where you come to when you desire to make more experiences out of an experience. It is quite possibly the only place where you can come to swing above a cascading waterfall, go swimming in a pool and enjoy a lovely meal.
The swing is located in D’tukad River Club in Banjar Blangsinga – Saba village.
The jungle swing is an experience all on its own. But there’s a lot you can enjoy here – Ideal for a day out. (Prices depend on the package chosen.)
The arc is shaped like a heart, painted all red, set against the lovely lush jungle background. The aesthetic alone draws those who are looking to grab that epic Instagram shot that will blow up their insta-game.
The best part about this swing is that there is no need to purchase a ticket to use the love swing. Yes, it’s free! But if you feel odd about taking a free swing ride, you could always go to BAS De Atayana and purchase some coffee goodies.
If you are travelling across the eastern region of Bali, drop by the Sidemen Bali Swing. The swing is hung on two coconut trees, with safety harnesses keeping you from falling off. Swing into the air to enjoy the far-stretching verdant landscapes, rice fields, Mount Agung and other hills.
Ideal for those who enjoy the tranquillity. If you also choose to do lunch here, you can enjoy a welcome drink and a cool towel.
The whole experience will cost around 35 USD p.p. (lunch included).
Here’s another jungle swing that is popular amongst Instagram influencers. Located in the Carang Sari Village, the attention this jungle swing spot gets is justified honestly. You can choose to try 10 metres or the 12 or 15-metre swing (or all – no judgement). When you’ve had enough, you could sit in a life-size bird nest and chill. Why? Because you can.
You will need to go for a lunch package to enjoy their swinging facilities and other exciting activities here. So the minimum cost will be approx. 20 USD p.p.
The sceneries you get to witness while swinging into the air are nothing short of breathtaking (well, not literally! hopefully). Pure excitement awaits at Jalan Raya Ceking, Tegalalang, north of Ubud.
There are 15 swings you could try here(seriously) – including a swing set at 45 meters and even a couple’s swing! If you are daring enough – try the swing set at 60 meters high!
To try one of the insane swings like the couples swing, the minimum rate would be around 20 USD p.p. (the prices will then add on, depending on what you plan to do next)
Swing safety is a priority in Bali. Most swing parks in Bali have safety straps to wrap around the individual’s waist to keep them from falling off when swinging into the air. The most popular jungle swings even have staff to ensure your swing memory won’t end up a tragic one.
But remember – safety is your responsibility too. So if you feel like the straps are not tight/secure, communicate it to the staff before you fly off.
How Early Should you Go?
If you want to avoid the queues, better head there early. Most parks open after 8.00 a.m (or sooner). Be one of the first visitors to get on the swing, and then you can plan what to do with the rest of the time you are at the park.
Is there an Age limit for Bali Swings?
Visitors above age 5 can try out the swings. In most cases, the swings usually are more for the adults (because kids…have parks). And some swings are set up at 60 meters – which might be a little too risky for a kid. There is a weight limit, however. And that limit is 200 kg (440 lbs).
Are there Photographers on the Scene to Hire?
Yes, some sites do have photographers – but for a price (obviously).
Can we Rent a Dress for the Swinging Session?
Some swing sites have dress rental shops, so you can choose the outfit you know will look incredible in the photo. Or you could take your own as well. You do you, friend!
Can I make a Reservation for the Bali Swing Session?
Yes, some Bali swing sites take reservations, so you don’t have to rush early in the morning to get to the front line.
Bali is amazing as it is, but the Bali Swing experience certainly can take the holiday experience up a notch. So if you haven’t considered trying this out while in Bali, we say don’t miss out, go for it!
