Ubud Half-Day Zipline & Jungle Swing Over Rice Terraces
Launch from a bamboo platform above Ubud’s terraces on a 13‑meter jungle swing, then zipline across irrigated rice paddies before a cooling swim at Ulu Petanu Waterfall and a local coffee tasting. This compact half‑day tour pairs adrenaline with cultural context and hotel pickup.
The Experience
Before You Go
Check weight & age limits
Zipline weight limits are 40–100 kg (88–220 lbs) and some swings require a minimum age; confirm at booking to avoid issues at check‑in.
Wear secure footwear
Closed‑toe shoes with good grip are best for wet approaches and river rocks at the waterfall.
Bring swim gear and a towel
If you plan to swim at Ulu Petanu Waterfall bring a swimsuit and quick‑dry towel; a change of clothes is helpful for the ride home.
Protect electronics
Use a small dry bag or leave phones secured—action shots are great, but loose items can be lost on the swing or zipline.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Side path viewpoints near the swing platforms—fewer visitors and cleaner angles for landscape photos
- •A shallow upstream pool at Ulu Petanu for quieter swimming away from the main landing
Wildlife
- •Long‑tailed macaque (observe from a distance)
- •Kingfishers and dragonflies near irrigation canals
Conservation Note
Stay on marked paths and avoid stepping into rice plots; local operators emphasize low‑impact access to fields and proper waste disposal.
The terraces are shaped by Bali’s communal subak irrigation system, a centuries‑old practice that organizes water and ritual around rice cultivation.
