Ubud: Zipline, Bali Swing, and Sky Bike in a Private Rice Terrace
Rice terraces, swings, and zipline in one stop. What makes this outing fun is that you get both the big photo moments at Wings of Bali and real action over the fields with a zipline and Sky Bike. It also stays organized for a private group, so you spend more time riding, posing, and moving through the day, not waiting around.
I especially like the mix here, adrenaline plus a cultural rice-field hike with a guide. You’ll get traditional photo outfits, safety gear, and a local-style tour that includes farmer interactions, and even the chance to join in with harvest tasks or coffee from a wood fire. The main consideration is weather: if it’s rainy, you might end up doing fewer activities, since one review mentioned skipping the zipline and bicycle because of bad rain.
Key Highlights You Should Know

- Wings of Bali + 7 photo spots at U Fun Field, including the huge dream catcher swing
- Multiple swing styles to match your comfort level, from Dream Catcher to Extreme
- Sky Bike plus zipline for a bird-eye view of the rice terraces
- Farmer-hut cultural tour with Balinese traditions and hands-on moments
- Guided posing support from staff like Hesham, with help retaking shots you do not like
- Private tour feel with your group only, plus safety gear and insurance included
U Fun Field: the Ubud photo park built on rice terraces

U Fun Field is basically an outdoor playground placed right in classic Ubud rice scenery. You start here because it sets the tone fast: views, props, and activity zones, all in one managed space. It is also where the famous icons live, including Wings of Bali and the world-sized dream catcher swing.
This matters because you avoid the common Ubud trap of spending most of the day just traveling between photo spots. Here, the park is designed so you can go from one moment to the next, without losing momentum. The park is also described as clean in reviews, which helps when you are jumping between activities and changing outfits.
You will also see that U Fun Field is not only about rides. There is a cafe on site mentioned in reviews, so you can pause for coffee while you wait your turn. If you are traveling with mixed-energy people, that simple option is a big deal.
Plan on about two hours at this stop. That is long enough to do the main activities and take photos without feeling like you are being rushed, which is exactly what staff are praised for.

Bali Swing options: choosing your thrill level without guessing

The headline here is Bali Swing. But what I like is that you get options, not one generic swing. The experience includes 4 Bali jungle swing options, ranging from gentler, more scenic rides to higher-adrenaline setups.
From the info you have, you can expect choices like:
- Dream Catcher Swing for a signature, crowd-pleasing thrill
- Extreme Swing when you want the bigger scare factor
- Flower Swing & Couple Swing if you want something softer and more relaxed
What this means for you in practice is that you can match the ride to the group. If one person wants maximum height, you do not have to drag everyone into the same intensity level. And if someone is nervous, you can start with something calmer and still keep the day fun for them.
One review highlight that is worth listening to: staff were patient with photo attempts, and they were willing to retake shots you do not like. That is not just about politeness. When swings are involved, timing is everything, and having someone guide you through posing can save your trip from blurry, awkward results.
If you want the full photo look, you also have traditional outfit and accessories included for pictures. Those extra details are what make the swing photos feel like a real experience instead of just a quick tourist snapshot.
Zipline and Sky Bike: the part that feels like flight
After swings, the pace shifts upward with two aerial-style activities: a zipline and a Sky Bike. This is where you get that bird-eye view across the paddy fields, which is the whole point of putting these activities in Ubud’s rice terraces.
Why I think this combo works: it gives you two different flavors of the same idea. The zipline is more passive, you drop in and glide. The Sky Bike is more active, because you pedal your way along a course that sits above the rice fields. If you like a bit more control, the Sky Bike can feel more engaging.
You should also know that the activities you do depend on the package you select. The info says the swings, zipline, and sky bike are included based on the package, so do not assume you will automatically do every aerial ride if your plan is the lighter version.
Also, keep weather in mind. One review mentioned rainy weather limiting them to two swings and skipping the zipline and bicycle. That lines up with how outdoor ride operators typically handle safety and visibility, so it is smart to treat this as a flexible half-day plan, not a guaranteed checklist.
Still, when conditions are good, the overall feedback leans strongly positive on the zipline. People describe it as magical, which makes sense for a ride that gives you a wide view with zero effort on your part, except staying calm and holding on.
The rice-fields hike with a farmer-hut cultural tour

The second stop is the part that gives the day roots. Instead of only platforms and photo spots, you move into the rice fields on a guided cultural hike. It is about an hour long, and it is designed to be both scenic and interactive.
You will meet up for a farmer’s hut where the guide shares Balinese traditions and helps you connect what you are seeing to how people actually live from the land. The tour also includes time at the bamboo bridge while hiking over a waterfall, plus the option to interact with farmers. Depending on timing and what is available, you may even join in with harvest work or try a cup of coffee brewed over a wood fire.
Why this stop is valuable is simple: it balances the adrenaline. After the swings and aerial rides, your brain gets tired of motion and decides it wants meaning. A guided cultural segment can turn a fun day into a real understanding of the place.
One thing I would keep in mind is that the hike is still outdoors. If you are coming in from the park activities, bring comfortable shoes and plan for uneven ground. The experience is described as most travelers can participate, but that does not mean it is a paved stroll.
If you are traveling with kids or older relatives, the good news is that the overall adventure is described as family-friendly for ages 5 to 99 years old. Still, I’d think of the ride activities and the hike as different “fitness types,” and plan accordingly.
What makes this tour feel private: your group only, plus staff that help you
This is a private tour/activity, so only your group participates. That matters for two reasons.
First, your timing can be smoother. Instead of sharing limited ride slots with a large crowd, you typically get a more controlled flow, and that can cut down the waiting that drains energy from camera-heavy days.
Second, the staff can focus on your group. In reviews, a guide named Hesham is specifically mentioned for helping with posing for pictures and videos. That is the difference between being told to smile and actually getting direction for how to stand, where to look, and how to time the shot.
Another staff detail that gets praised: if you do not like a photo, they have no problem retaking it. That is huge for people who care about quality, and also for families where someone is always blinking or moving at the wrong moment.
You also have a few safety and comfort basics included: safety equipment and insurance are part of the experience. Traditional outfits and accessories are included for pictures, and you should feel supported while you change between activities.
If you choose the private transport option, you get a driver as part of the package. If you do not, the meeting point is clearly listed at U Fun Field in Payangan area, near public transportation, so you have some flexibility. One review suggested going by Grab or taxi straight to the fun field, which is practical advice if you want to simplify the start of your day.

Price and value: how $21 per person stacks up
At $21 per person, this is not a luxury-only price tag. The real question is whether it buys you enough of what you came for.
Here is what your money covers based on the provided info:
- admission tickets included (at the park and for the rice-fields hike)
- swings, zipline, and Sky Bike depending on the package you select
- traditional outfit and accessories for pictures
- safety equipment and insurance
- guided cultural tour for the rice-fields portion
- private transportation with driver if you select that option
A big value point is that admission and guidance are built in. Many Ubud activity days turn into a cash add-on parade once you arrive. Here, you can plan around a set package and then decide only on extras.
Extras are optional and clearly priced:
- long dress rental for the 3m trail is $15 per person
- photographer is $15 per person
- lunch is not included
So if you want to keep costs down, you can. If you want peak photo impact, you can add the dress and photographer. From reviews, people who used the dress rental and the photographer were especially happy with their results. That makes those add-ons feel like upgrades, not mandatory spending.
Bottom line: at this price, you are paying for a structured, guided half-day that combines adrenaline and cultural context. If your group wants the rice terrace experience plus big photo moments, it is strong value. If your group only wants one thing, like purely a hike or purely a swing, you might compare costs with narrower tours.
Timing: how a 1 to 3 hour plan fits a Bali day

The total duration is listed as about 1 to 3 hours, with travel time included. In practice, the itinerary points to roughly:
- about two hours at U Fun Field
- about one hour at the rice-fields hike
So you can think of this as a short, action-packed block that can fit into the middle of your Ubud schedule. Two hours at the park is enough for swings plus an aerial activity if conditions allow. The remaining time is for the hike and farmer-hut portion.
This timing is a big deal for planning. Ubud days can easily balloon. A tour that is short on paper helps you keep your energy for dinner plans, a second attraction, or a rest stop at your hotel.
Still, remember the weather factor. If rain limits activity types, your actual time in motion may shrink, and you might shift what you prioritize. If you have a tight itinerary the same day, I would schedule this earlier rather than later.
Weather and comfort tips that actually help
You are outdoors for both the park activities and the hike. If rain hits, the most likely impact is that some aerial or high-action rides get paused or skipped. That is exactly what happened for at least one group in the reviews.
So here is my practical advice:
- wear quick-dry clothing that you do not mind getting splashed
- bring a light layer, because mornings can feel cooler at higher elevations
- plan for photography, even if conditions are cloudy, because the photo spots are still there
- bring shoes with grip for the bamboo-bridge hike and uneven ground
Also, if you are doing lots of poses, you can make the photo process easier by arriving ready to be guided. The staff in reviews are praised for guiding posing, and they retake shots without drama. You will save time if you communicate quickly what you want, like full-body shots or couple shots, and then let them do the rest.
Finally, if you are adding the long dress rental or photographer, factor that into your timing expectations. Those add-ons are meant to upgrade photos, so treat them as part of your overall plan, not a last-minute surprise.
Should you book this Ubud rice terrace adventure?
If your group wants a classic Ubud combo, this is a smart pick. You get big swing-and-ride moments at U Fun Field, plus a guided rice-fields hike with farmer storytelling. I also like that the private setup means you get attention from staff like Hesham, and reviews highlight patience with photos and retakes.
Book it if:
- you want multiple activities in one short outing
- you care about Instagram-ready photo spots like Wings of Bali
- you want some cultural context, not just thrill rides
- your group includes mixed ages or mixed comfort levels, since swing options exist
Skip it or compare alternatives if:
- your group only wants a calm cultural walk and none of the aerial rides
- you have a very strict schedule and cannot handle weather-related changes
- you are not interested in photos at all, because a lot of the value here is tied to picture moments and guided posing
If you are weighing packages, pay attention to whether zipline and Sky Bike are included in your selected plan. That detail changes how much of the aerial fun you will actually get. And if you can, schedule earlier in the day, so you have a better chance of maximizing the activities when the weather cooperates.
