Ubud Swing

About this tour

A 5-hour guided adventure through Ubud's quieter corners, combining jungle swings with village exploration and temple visits. You'll move between rice paddies and traditional settlements with a local guide, stopping to swing through canopy gaps and photograph temples tucked away from the main tourist routes. The pace is physical—expect scrambling over uneven ground and multiple swings—so decent fitness matters. Private transport picks you up, drops you back, and includes water and swing gear.

Highlights

• Swing through jungle canopy between rice terraces
• Explore hidden temples off standard tourist paths
• Walk through active village settlements and farmland
• Guided by locals who know the backcountry routes
• Private transport and all gear included
• Photo stops at scenic lookouts and traditional sites

What to expect

You'll spend most of the five hours on foot, moving between swings and points of interest across uneven, sometimes slippery terrain. The swings themselves are the highlight—they're suspended over valleys or rice fields, which sounds tame until you're actually swinging. Between swings, your guide leads you through villages where locals carry on ordinary life, and past temples that see few foreign visitors. The pace is steady rather than leisurely; you're hiking uphill and down, crossing streams, navigating roots. Weather is warm and humid; you'll sweat. The reward is a genuine sense of the landscape and how people live in it, without the queues.
