Ubud: Zipline, Bali Swing, and Sky Bike in a Private Rice Terrace
Rice terraces plus adrenaline is a rare combo.
This private Ubud outing strings together Bali Swing thrills, a zipline, and a pedal-powered sky bike above the paddies, then caps it with a guided rice-terrace hike and photo stops made for your camera roll. I especially like the setting at U Fun Field, with the iconic Wings of Bali and multiple swings on one 40,000m2 property, plus the way staff help you pose and keep your photos looking right. One consideration: it is not an all-day Ubud driver tour, and the experience is centered on getting you to the park, so plan your ride time (or take a Grab or taxi straight there) rather than expecting a true around-town pickup.
I also like that this works for different energy levels. You can choose from swing options like Dream Catcher Swing for drama, the more intense Extreme Swing, or calmer rides like Flower Swing and Couple Swing, then still do the peaceful rice-terrace walk with farmer interaction and a bamboo bridge. If your weather turns rainy, outdoor rides may get limited, since everything here is outside.
Key things I’d plan around

- U Fun Field is the hub: one spot for Wings of Bali, big swings, and the best photo angles in the rice fields
- Swing choice matters: pick the intensity you want, from serene Flower Swing to Extreme Swing
- Zipline plus sky bike = aerial views: you get bird’s-eye perspectives without needing climbing skills
- Rice-terrace hike adds culture: a guided walk with a farmer’s hut and bamboo bridge over a waterfall
- Staff support your photos: guides can help with posing, and teams are patient about retakes
- Price depends on your package: swings, zipline, and sky bike are included based on what you choose

U Fun Field in Ubud, where the photos actually look real

Ubud is full of activities that sound similar on paper, but the best ones nail the setting. Here, the action is at U Fun Field, a newer outdoor recreational park built on iconic rice terraces. The big reason I’d pick this place is simple: it keeps you in the paddies the whole time, instead of bouncing between locations.
At U Fun Field, you get the kind of Instagram-ready structure you can easily recognize later, including the Wings of Bali artwork and the world’s biggest dream catcher swing. There are also 7 photo spots on-site, so you are not stuck waiting for one perfect moment. And yes, the park is designed with safety in mind, with safety equipment included.
Practical note: bring realistic expectations. You are doing multiple activities, so your best results come from showing up ready to move, take pictures, and then move again.
Bali swings: how to pick the right thrill level

The swing lineup is one of the reasons this experience feels like more than a single ride. You can go with different swing styles, including Dream Catcher Swing (a popular, dramatic option), Extreme Swing (for higher adrenaline), and calmer choices like Flower Swing and Couple Swing if you want a softer pace.
Here is how I’d choose:
- If you want maximum wow, start with the Dream Catcher or Extreme option first, when you still have energy.
- If you are traveling with mixed ages or different comfort levels, pick one calmer swing for everyone, then let the stronger thrill-seekers try the higher intensity ride.
This part is family-friendly by design, with the activity listed for ages 5 to 99. That does not mean every rider should do every swing. It means the experience aims to keep it accessible across ages, while still giving you real variety in the ride styles.
Also, one theme in the experience feedback is that staff work with you on your photos and posing. If you are the type who hates feeling rushed, this is a good sign. A guide can help you pose for pictures, and teams are described as patient about retaking shots until you like them.
The zipline: fast views across the rice paddies
The zipline is the moment that changes the whole mood. One second you are standing near the swing setups, the next you are gliding across lush greenery with a bird’s-eye view of the rice terraces below. This is not just a speed thrill. It is a perspective upgrade.
What to know before you go:
- You will be in an outdoor park environment, so wear something comfortable and practical.
- If you get wind gusts or lingering mist, hold onto your phone carefully and follow staff instructions.
In bad weather, outdoor rides can be reduced. One experience described doing only two swings due to really bad rain and choosing not to do the zipline and bicycle afterward. Translation: keep the flexible mindset. If skies are heavy, you might end up doing fewer aerial activities.
Sky bike in the rice terraces: your own slow motion thrill
If you want a ride that feels fun and scenic at the same time, the sky bike is a great counterpoint to the zipline. Instead of flying while strapped in, you pedal above the rice fields for your own pace, with that calm bird’s-eye view.
Think of it like this:
- Zipline is quick and high drama.
- Sky bike is controlled movement with time to enjoy the scenery and get pictures.
The experience emphasizes that you pedal your way above the paddy fields, so you do not need special athletic skills to appreciate it. You do need balance and willingness to focus on what you are doing.
If you like photos but also like moving at your own speed, sky bike is often the best compromise. It also tends to work well when your group has a mix of thrill levels.
The terraces turn up on these days too
The rice-terrace hike with farmers, bamboo bridge, and coffee
The tour does not stop at the amusement-style rides. It moves into a guided rice-terrace experience that leans more cultural and hands-on.
After U Fun Field, you head into the famous Ubud rice fields for a hike guided by local cultural storytelling. The route includes:
- A farmer’s hut where you learn about Balinese traditions
- Interaction with farmers
- A bamboo bridge crossing over a waterfall
- Options to help with the harvest or join a wood fire brewed cup of coffee
I like this part because it gives context for why the terraces matter. You are not just viewing a postcard. You are being pointed toward the rhythms of agriculture, the role of farmers, and the local traditions tied to the land.
One practical reality: this portion involves walking. Even though the activity is listed as family-friendly and the overall duration is short, wear shoes you trust on uneven ground.
Traditional outfit and accessories for photos

If you are trying to get more than generic vacation shots, this package includes a traditional outfit and accessories for pictures. That matters because the rides and photo spots already do a lot of the heavy lifting visually. The outfit helps your photos look more grounded in Balinese style instead of only looking like you are on a ride.
There is also optional long dress rental for a 3m trail, listed at USD15 per person, plus an optional photographer service at USD15 per person. If you want the full photo treatment, these add-ons can be worth it. If you prefer to keep the day simple and rely on your own camera, you can likely skip them and still get plenty of shots from the included photo spots.
What’s included in the $21 price, and what costs extra

At $21.00 per person, this feels like a good deal when you compare what is typically paid separately in Ubud. The value comes from how many categories are included.
What you get included:
- Safety equipments (important for swings and zipline setups)
- Insurance
- Traditional outfit and accessories for pictures
- Swings, zipline, and sky bike based on the package you choose
- A guided cultural tour
- Private transportation with a driver if that option is selected
- Admission ticket(s) for the time on-site and the rice-terrace hike
What costs extra:
- Long dress rental for the 3m trail (USD15 per person)
- Photographer (USD15 per person)
- Lunch
My value tip: since activities are based on the package you select, make sure you are choosing the version that actually matches what you want to do. If you only want one swing and skip aerial rides, you might not be maximizing value. If you want the full combo of swings plus zipline plus sky bike, the price starts to feel like a bundle bargain.
Duration and timing, so you don’t feel rushed
The overall duration is listed as 1 to 3 hours approx, and travel time is included. The day is built in two main blocks.
- U Fun Field is described as about 2 hours, focused on the park, the swings, the aerial options, and the photo spots.
- The rice fields hike is about 1 hour, focused on the guided cultural experience, farmer interaction, and the bamboo bridge.
That timing is good if you want intense fun without losing half your day to transit. It is also a format that fits well with other Ubud plans, like a temple visit or a meal reservation later.
If you are doing just part of the experience due to weather, the schedule can feel shorter. One account described being limited to two swings because of heavy rain, which is exactly what you’d plan for if clouds move in quickly.
Getting to U Fun Field: plan the ride smart
One practical thing to know is that people sometimes expect a more involved hotel pickup experience. The tour does mention pickup offered, and private transportation with a driver if you select that option. Still, one helpful piece of advice is to treat the ride as point-to-point, not a whole Ubud itinerary.
In other words, you might find it easiest to take a Grab or taxi straight to U Fun Field. The listed start address is:
Jl. Banjar Gadungan, Bresela, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80572, Indonesia
If you want less hassle, do a quick check of where you are staying and how long it will take to reach Payangan. The experience includes travel time in its total duration, but it cannot control traffic.
Who this is best for in Ubud
This is a strong match if you want:
- A private setup for your group, so you can move on your pace rather than blending into a big crowd
- A mix of thrill activities and a short guided cultural hike
- Plenty of photo opportunities without needing a whole separate tour just to get pictures
- A short, flexible plan, since the total time is listed as about 1 to 3 hours
It is also friendly for families because the activity is listed for ages 5 to 99. That means grandparents, teens, and kids can potentially enjoy different pieces of the experience, depending on comfort and ability.
If you are someone who only wants one ride and hates walking, you might feel this is too much. The tour is designed to keep you active.
The big standout: staff who help you nail the moment
The most repeated praise is about the people running the experience. The staff are described as joyful, helpful, and very supportive during the photo process. One review specifically called out Hesham, along with a photographer, for their energy and positive vibe that helped create a great experience.
I love this kind of team behavior because it changes the whole feel of these outdoor activities. When someone helps you pose and does not rush you, you end up with photos you actually like, and the experience feels smoother.
Also, there is mention of a cafe on-site, including U Eat, where you can eat or grab coffee while you wait. That matters because outdoor rides can involve short pauses, and it is nice to have a place to reset instead of just standing around.
Should you book this Ubud zipline, swing, sky bike, and rice-terrace hike?
Yes, if you want one efficient Ubud plan that covers views, action, and a guided cultural walk. This is especially worth booking if you plan to do more than just one activity. The $21 price can feel like strong value because safety gear, insurance, photo outfit support, a guided cultural tour, and admission are included, while the different ride types let you choose your thrill level.
Skip it or adjust your expectations if:
- You want a very laid-back day with no outdoor movement.
- Your group dislikes weather-dependent outdoor activities, since rain can limit what you actually do.
- You are expecting a full day of sightseeing, this is more of a focused activity block.
If you pick your package intentionally, wear decent shoes for the rice-terrace walk, and plan your ride to U Fun Field with a point-to-point mindset, you will likely leave with both the photos and the memories that go with them.
