Balliswing.Feel the natural breeze as you paddle a giant swing in the stunning scenery!Instagram-worthy photo spot / Round trip hotel transfers included

Catch Bali from a swing seat. This private Ubud outing pairs the famous Bali Swing with rice terraces, hotel transfers, and several optional stops. I like the flexibility of choosing between a simple swing visit, a floating breakfast, Cretya Ubud, the Kintamani Plateau, or a fuller Ubud sightseeing day. I also like that a rental long dress is included for photographs. The main drawback is that the swing itself is only one part of a five to eight-hour day, and some add-ons bring extra costs or restrictions.

You will travel by private car with a Japanese- and English-speaking driver, and your pickup and drop-off hotels can be different. That is useful if you are changing hotels. Just remember that the advertised price does not cover every expense, temple entry, parking, tolls, some meals, and personally ordered drinks may cost extra.

Key points at a glance

• The swing is built for photographs: Giant swings, bird nests, balloons, and heart-shaped objects create several picture spots, with a long dress rental included.
• Five route choices give you control: You can choose the basic swing day or add floating breakfast, Cretya Ubud, Kintamani, or central Ubud.
• Private transport saves time: Your group has its own car, and different pickup and drop-off hotels are allowed.
• Tegalaran Rice Terrace adds scenery: The swing visit is paired with one of Bali’s best-known rural views.
• Cretya Ubud has an age rule: Guests under 18 cannot use the pool, and one beer or soft drink is included on that option.
• The day needs practical planning: Wear comfortable shoes, dress modestly for temples, and allow extra money for items not included.

Why this Bali Swing outing works

The appeal is easy to understand. You sit high above the ground, feel the air as the swing moves, and pose against Bali’s green rural scenery. The experience is made for photographs, but it is not only one photo platform. The package includes access to several themed spots, such as bird nests, balloons, and heart-shaped frames.

I like that you do not have to build the day yourself from separate taxis and attraction tickets. The private car collects you at your hotel at 9:00 am and returns you afterward. You can even finish at a different hotel, which is handy if this is your checkout day or the start of a move within Bali.

The package also includes a rental long dress. That is a small but useful touch. It saves you from packing a special outfit and gives the swing photographs a more polished look. You should still choose comfortable shoes because the day can include long stairways and walking at several stops.

The outing is operated as a private activity, so only your own group participates. That gives you more control over the pace than a large coach tour. The driver can also help arrange added sightseeing, although the published program already offers five defined choices.

Choosing between the five schedules

The most important decision is not the swing itself. It is how much of the rest of the day you want to add. The basic option takes about five to six hours. The other routes take about eight hours and include more stops.

Here is the practical difference:

• Bali Swing Tour: Swing photo stops and Tegalaran Rice Terrace
• Bali Swing plus Floating Tour: Floating breakfast or brunch, then the swing and rice terrace
• Bali Swing plus Cretya Ubud: Swing, rice terrace, and the open-air restaurant with infinity pool
• Bali Swing plus Kintamani Plateau: Swing, rice terrace, lunch, and views toward the plateau
• Bali Swing plus Ubud: Swing, rice terrace, lunch, Monkey Forest, Ubud Royal Palace, Saraswati Temple, and Ubud Market

The basic route is the best fit if the swing is your main goal and you do not want a full sightseeing day. The Ubud option packs in the most major stops, but it also gives you less unstructured time. If you prefer a slower morning, the floating breakfast option has a clear focus rather than a long list of attractions.

The 9:00 am hotel pickup

The day begins with a 9:00 am pickup anywhere covered by the arrangement in Bali. The car is private, and the driver speaks Japanese and English. Since pickup and drop-off hotels may be different, you can use the ride as part of a hotel transfer rather than booking a separate car.

That flexibility is one of the strongest practical points here. You should provide clear hotel details when booking and make sure the final destination is understood. The schedule can change because of local conditions, and added time costs 1,000 yen per hour.

The tour is designed for most people to participate, and service animals are allowed. Public transportation is nearby, though the private car makes more sense for a day that combines several places outside central Ubud.

What happens at the Bali Swing

The swing is the centerpiece. You can expect a large swing designed to give the sensation of flying while moving above the surrounding scenery. The setting also includes prepared photo points with bird nests, balloons, and heart-shaped objects.

This is not a quiet, unstructured countryside stop. It is a dedicated photo attraction, so the value comes from the combination of the ride and the pictures you take there. If you want a natural experience with little staging, you may find the props a bit manufactured. If you want clear, dramatic holiday images without arranging your own setup, the design works in your favor.

A rental long dress is included. Ask about the available choices and fit when you arrive, since the supplied information does not specify sizes, colors, or changing arrangements. You should avoid assuming that every photograph or prop is available at every moment, because the exact order and content can change locally.

Allow time to move between the different photo areas. Some Bali attractions have stairs, and this outing specifically warns about long stairways. Comfortable shoes matter more than fashion here. You can change into the rental dress for photographs while keeping practical footwear on your feet.

Tegalaran Rice Terrace gives the day more range

The Tegalaran Rice Terrace stop helps balance the highly arranged swing attraction. Here, the focus shifts to Bali’s farming scenery and stepped fields. It gives you a chance to see a different side of the Ubud area rather than spending the entire morning at a single photo site.

The terrace may involve walking and stairs, so the footwear advice still applies. If you have limited mobility, ask about the exact walking route before departure. The available information says most people can participate, but it does not promise a step-free visit.

In the basic tour, the rice terrace comes after the swing before you return to the hotel. In the longer versions, it also acts as a bridge to breakfast, lunch, a pool stop, the Kintamani Plateau, or central Ubud.

Floating breakfast turns the outing into a slower morning

The floating tour option includes a floating breakfast or brunch served on a large tray while you are in a pool. It is a very different mood from the swing. Instead of a quick photo stop and movement between sites, you get time around the water with food as part of the experience.

The schedule places the floating breakfast first, followed by the Bali Swing and Tegalaran Rice Terrace. The full outing takes about eight hours. This route suits you if the meal is as important as the photographs and you want a more leisurely start.

The included meal is limited to this specific floating tour option. Other food and drinks ordered by you are not included. The details do not specify the menu, pool temperature, private changing facilities, or dietary choices, so ask before booking if those points matter to you.

Cretya Ubud adds a pool and open-air restaurant

The Cretya Ubud route includes the swing, Tegalaran Rice Terrace, and time at an open-air restaurant with an infinity pool. One beer or soft drink is included with this option.

This choice is appealing if you want a stylish break after the swing and terrace visit. The pool provides a place to sit and enjoy the setting rather than continuing from one sightseeing stop to the next. Still, the pool has a firm age rule: guests under 18 cannot use it.

The package includes one beer or soft drink, but additional meals and drinks ordered by you are not included. The schedule says Cretya Ubud comes after the rice terrace. It does not state how long you can spend there, so the time available may depend on traffic and the rest of your route.

Kintamani brings a wider mountain view

The Kintamani option adds lunch and views of the Kintamani Plateau, described as a place with strong spiritual or power-spot associations. The route follows the swing and Tegalaran Rice Terrace before lunch and the plateau stop.

This is the route for you if broad scenery matters more than a long list of central Ubud sights. Kintamani gives the day a stronger sense of distance and a change from the photo attractions. The tradeoff is that an eight-hour schedule with several stops leaves less room to linger.

Lunch is included in the schedule, but the included section only specifically lists brunch for the floating tour. It is safest to confirm exactly what lunch covers for the Kintamani option. Meals and drinks ordered independently are generally excluded.

The tour description also makes clear that no power-spot result is guaranteed. Treat the spiritual language as part of the setting and local interpretation, not as a promised outcome.

The Ubud route packs in five major stops

The longest sightseeing route includes the swing, Tegalaran Rice Terrace, lunch, Monkey Forest, Ubud Royal Palace, Saraswati Temple, and Ubud Market. It is the most efficient choice if you have limited time in Ubud and want to cover several well-known places in one private car.

Monkey Forest adds a nature and wildlife-focused stop. The Royal Palace and Saraswati Temple bring architecture and cultural sites into the day, while Ubud Market gives you a chance to browse local goods. The route has more variety than the other options, but it is also the most ambitious.

Temple etiquette matters. You should avoid exposed clothing at temples and other religious sites, or you may not be allowed to enter. Bring something suitable to cover your shoulders and legs. A long dress rental for the swing does not automatically meet every temple requirement, so pack an appropriate layer.

Temple admission is not included. The same applies to tolls, parking, Balinese dance performances, and other listed extras. Confirm which entrances are planned before you leave, especially if you want to budget accurately.

What the $92.63 price really covers

At $92.63 per person, the cost makes the most sense for a small group that values private transport and a full day of arranged stops. You are paying for the vehicle, driver, hotel transfers, Bali Swing package, and the selected route. The private format also means you are not sharing the day with strangers.

The value improves if you use the different hotel pickup and drop-off arrangement. A separate transfer between hotels could otherwise add both cost and planning time. Group discounts are available, so the per-person figure may work better for several people traveling together.

Do not treat $92.63 as the final cost for every version. Temple admissions, tolls, parking, some meals, and drinks you order yourself are excluded. The Cretya Ubud package includes one beer or soft drink, while the floating tour includes brunch or breakfast. Check the exact option and inclusions before paying.

Who should book this experience

I would consider this a good match for you if you want:

• A private car instead of a shared coach
• Strong photo opportunities with prepared props
• A rental outfit for the swing
• A flexible day with several route choices
• Hotel pickup and drop-off
• A first visit to Ubud that combines famous stops efficiently
• Japanese or English driver support

It is less suitable if you want a quiet, unplanned day or dislike attractions built around photographs. The Ubud option may also feel rushed if you prefer to spend a long time at each cultural site. Families should note the Cretya Ubud pool rule for anyone under 18.

The schedule may change because of local conditions. It also cannot be arranged during Nyepi, Bali’s New Year, or dates around that period. Confirm availability if your holiday falls near Nyepi.

Booking and cancellation advice

Confirmation is provided at booking, and free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the 9:00 am start time. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are not accepted for a refund.

The tour provider is カリスマバリツアー Karisma Bali Tour. Since the supplied customer comments concern unrelated services, including a palace queue experience and Fox Car Rental, they do not provide useful evidence about this particular Bali Swing outing. I would base your decision on the clearly stated private transport, route choices, inclusions, and extra charges instead.

Should you book the Bali Swing?

Book it if you want an easy, private way to combine Bali Swing photographs with Tegalaran Rice Terrace and one additional Ubud-area experience. The floating breakfast and Cretya Ubud choices are especially appealing when you want more than a quick swing visit.

Choose the basic five to six-hour route if you want to keep the day focused and limit extra expenses. Choose the Ubud route if this is your main sightseeing day, but plan for a full schedule, temple-appropriate clothing, and extra admission costs. For most people, the private car and different drop-off option are the strongest value points, while the staged photo setting is the main matter of personal taste.
