Ubud Rice Terrace Skybike and Zipline Half-Day Adventure
A compact half-day that mixes two short aerial runs above Bali’s iconic rice terraces with a waterfall swim and a coffee tasting. Expect guided rigging, stepped terraced paths, and strong cultural context from the subak irrigation system.
The Experience
Before You Go
Check weight limits before booking
Operators enforce weight minimums and maximums for both skybike and zipline—confirm your weight during booking to avoid issues at check-in.
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Terrace paths are uneven and often wet near the waterfall—sturdy shoes reduce slip risk during short walks and when entering the water.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Morning outings are cooler but still tropical; carry sunscreen and drink regularly—guides typically provide bottled water but bring a reusable bottle if you prefer.
Leave valuables behind
Aerial runs and water stops make phones and loose items vulnerable—use lockers or leave non-essential items at your pickup point.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small family warungs along the terrace road serve fresh banana fritters and kopi luwak-style pours
- •A short side path often overlooked opens to a quiet viewpoint above a Petanu River bend
Wildlife
- •Long-tailed macaque (observe from a distance)
- •Common kingfisher near irrigation channels
Conservation Note
Stay on designated paths to prevent erosion and support local guides and warungs; tourism income helps maintain terraces and pay irrigation-worker communities.
The terraces are cultivated through Bali’s subak system, an irrigation cooperative dating back centuries that links agriculture with temple-based water management.
