Ubud Rice Terrace Adventure: Bali Swing, Zipline & Sky Bike

Ubud Rice Terrace Adventure: Bali Swing, Zipline & Sky Bike

Jump over pendulum swings, pedal a sky bike above emerald paddies and clip into a zipline that skims rice terraces—this compact Ubud experience pairs adrenaline with a close-up of Balinese rice culture. Early mornings bring the best light and calmer air for photos and paddies.

The Experience

Before You Go

Go at sunrise

Arrive early to avoid crowds, catch the best light for photos, and cooler conditions for the swings and sky bike.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Terrace paths are uneven and can be muddy—sturdy shoes protect your feet and improve footing on bamboo bridges.

Protect your phone

Bring a small dry bag or secure mount—activities provide photo ops but harnesses and wind can jostle devices.

Hydrate and carry small cash

Bring water and some cash for local snacks or to tip guides at the farmer’s hut stop.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early-morning coffee tasting at the farmer’s hut—brewed over wood fire
  • A short bamboo-bridge walk that leads to quieter terrace viewpoints away from photo booths

Wildlife

  • Egrets and kingfishers hunting the paddies
  • Geckos and tree frogs near water channels

Conservation Note

Visitors should stick to designated paths, avoid trampling young shoots, and minimize plastic waste; small fees often support local maintenance and farming livelihoods.

The terraces follow Bali’s subak system—community-managed irrigation that links agriculture with temple rituals and social organization.
