Bali/Ubud: Swing, Zipline & SkyBike Rice Terrace Adventure

Ubud’s rice terraces are the setting for a playful mix of swings, a zipline and a pedal bike suspended above the fields. I like that the activities share one peaceful, private site, and that a guided walk gives you a closer look at the rice plots beyond the photo stops.

I also like the practical value: for $28, the base experience includes park entry, rides, safety gear, insurance and access to seven photo spots. One thing to weigh is that the zipline is short and gentle, so this is more about scenery and fun photos than a serious adrenaline rush. Dress hire, a photographer and meals cost extra.

• Three ways to see the terraces: Try the swings, glide over the paddies on the zipline, then pedal the suspended SkyBike.
• Seven photo locations: Wings of Bali, a bee nest, bird nest, hanging chair, bamboo bridge, farmer’s hut and a rice-field backdrop with traditional accessories.
• A walk beyond the photo props: A guide leads you along private rice-field paths and explains the cultivation.
• A calm pace: The site is designed to feel less crowded, and you can arrive during operating hours rather than at a strict time slot.
• Extras add up: Floating dress rental, photographer service, food and drinks are not part of the base price.

A rice-field adventure, not a high-adrenaline course

U Fun Field brings together activities that often appear as separate stops on a Bali day out. You can swing above the green paddies, take a slow ride along a suspended bike track and cross the fields on a zipline, then walk through the rice terraces with a guide. The setting is the main attraction: each activity gives you a different angle on the same patchwork of fields.

The experience suits couples, friends and families who want a little movement without giving up the scenery. Staff provide helmets, harnesses and safety belts, and insurance is included. The minimum age is five, and the activities have a weight range of 35 to 150 kilograms, so check those limits before booking.

The package is not a remote nature outing. Seven staged photo spots are part of the appeal, and you’ll see props such as the Wings of Bali installation and a farmer’s hat. If you enjoy playful pictures, that can be a highlight. If you prefer quiet countryside without photo setups, the mix may feel a little too arranged.

Start with the swings and the view

The swings are a natural first stop. Options include the Dream Catcher, described as the largest in the area, along with the Extreme, Flower and Couple swings. Each offers a different view over the rice fields, and staff are on hand to fit safety equipment and help you get positioned.

The swings are the most dramatic-looking activity, but you do not need to treat them as a test of courage. Staff have helped nervous participants feel at ease without pushing them to try more than they want. If heights make you uneasy, say so before you start and take the activities at your own pace.

Photo help is a notable part of the experience. Staff often assist with poses and angles at the swings and photo spots, which is useful if you are travelling alone or want more than a quick phone selfie. The photographer service itself is an extra, so clarify what is included in your chosen option before you arrive.

A floating dress is another optional add-on. It can make a striking image against the rice fields, but it is not needed to enjoy the activities. If you want the dress, factor in the rental cost and the extra time needed for photos.

Glide over the paddies on the zipline

The zipline runs above the rice terraces on parallel lines, giving you a bird’s-eye view without a long or particularly fast ride. It is best understood as a scenic glide rather than a thrilling course. That gentler pace can be a plus if you are new to ziplines or want time to look around, but thrill-seekers may find it mild.

You’ll be fitted with a helmet and harness, and staff supervise the activity. One visitor who was nervous about heights found the team reassuring, while other accounts describe the zipline as short and slow enough to feel peaceful. Keep your phone secure and follow staff instructions about what you can carry; don’t assume you can take it on the ride.

The zipline is one of the strongest ways to see the field from above. It also helps balance the photo-focused swings with a simple activity that is more about moving through the setting than posing in it.

Pedal the suspended SkyBike

On the SkyBike, you pedal along an elevated track above the emerald rice paddies. The ride is designed for a relaxed pace, so you can take in the view rather than race through it. For many people, this is the most unusual activity in the package: a bicycle ride, but with the ground and rice plants below you.

The SkyBike pairs well with the zipline because the sensations are different. The zipline is a short glide, while the bike gives you more control over your speed. If you are uneasy about heights, ask staff what to expect before getting on, and remember that participation in every activity is not required.

Try the bike and the swings before you settle in for photos if you want to make the most of your time. The site also has a bar and chill-out area with views, and an on-site restaurant for food and drinks at an extra cost. It can be a pleasant place to pause after the activities, especially if you have arranged a driver to wait.

Walk the private rice-field paths

The guided cultural walk is more than a short break between rides. It takes you onto private hiking tracks through the rice field, where a guide explains the rice-growing setting. That gives the visit a useful grounding: you see the terraces as working agricultural land, not only as a backdrop for swings and photographs.

The walk is a good reason to choose this experience over a stop focused only on a large swing. Guides such as Soni, Sam and Vidi have been praised for making the tour engaging and explaining the fields clearly. Your guide will depend on the day, but the English-language host or greeter makes the activity accessible to English-speaking visitors.

Wear comfortable shoes and shorts. The paths and activity area are outdoors, so plan for a bit of walking between stops. The experience includes access to the private tracks, but no specific walking distance is given; if you have mobility concerns, note that the activity is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Seven photo stops, with a few paid extras

The seven included photo spots are Wings of Bali, Bee Nest, Bird Nest, Hanging Chair, Bamboo Bridge, a traditional farmer’s hut, and a rice-field backdrop with a basket and farmer’s hat. Together, they offer a range of setups, from familiar Bali-style wings to props linked to farming. The advantage is variety without needing to travel between locations.

Staff can help you pose and take pictures, and this hands-on support is one of the practical strengths of the visit. If you want a dedicated photographer, that service is not included in the base experience. Floating dress rental is also extra, as are food, drinks and personal purchases.

Be realistic about what the photos mean to you. If you want keepsakes and enjoy the playful, staged look, you may find the stops worth your time. If you mainly want the rice terraces themselves, the guided walk and open views may matter more than posing at every installation.

How long to allow, and when to arrive

The activity is listed as lasting one to five hours, with a three-hour visit for the main U Fun Field experience. Allow extra time if you plan to take photos at all seven spots, have a meal, or combine the visit with transport from outside Ubud. The total time depends on your selected option.

Operating hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The start time you select is an estimate, and arrival is flexible within those hours rather than tied to a fixed slot. Early morning can be a good choice if you want a quieter feel; arriving first thing has worked well for visitors, and late afternoon has also been described as less busy. Conditions can vary, so neither time guarantees an empty site.

Book online before you arrive. On-site online booking is not allowed. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance, and a reserve-now, pay-later option is offered.

Getting there from Ubud or farther afield

You can meet at U Fun Field by searching for the name in your map app, or choose an option with transport. Pickup is available from accommodation outside Ubud in areas including Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Gianyar, Sangeh, Renon and Sanur. The exact transport included depends on the option you select, so check the details rather than assuming every $28 booking includes a hotel transfer.

If pickup is arranged, drivers are asked to wait in the hotel or villa lobby 15 minutes early. Several visitors have singled out their drivers for helpful conversation and local information on the journey. Names mentioned include Martiki, Nyoman and Gusti, but your driver may be someone else.

The destination list also includes places such as Denpasar, North Kuta, Mengwi, Tabanan and Badung Regency. If your accommodation is not listed, choose the nearest pickup point and contact the operator to coordinate. For independent arrival, use the U Fun Field meeting point.

Is $28 good value?

At $28 per person, the base price covers entry, access to the rides and activities, safety equipment, insurance, seven photo spots, private rice-field paths and a guided cultural walk. That is a strong bundle if you plan to try several activities and enjoy taking photos. You are not paying just for a single swing ride.

The value depends on how much you use. If you do the swings, zipline, SkyBike and walk, the package offers a full half-day outing in one place. If you only want one quick photo, it may feel like more than you need. Extras can also change the total: dress rental, a dedicated photographer, food and drinks are separate.

A 4.7 rating from 382 reviews points to a consistently well-liked experience, and the most frequently praised details are the friendly, attentive staff, the scenic setting and help with photos. The staff’s role matters here: they manage the safety steps, encourage people who feel unsure and help turn photo spots into usable pictures. Still, the staged setups and gentle rides will not suit every taste.

Who should book this Ubud outing?

I’d choose U Fun Field if you want a relaxed outdoor activity with several things to try, especially if you are travelling with a partner, friends or children aged five and up. Families can appreciate that staff have been patient with nervous children, while solo visitors can benefit from the help with photos and the welcoming approach.

It also makes sense if your Bali plans include a rice-terrace visit but you want more than a viewpoint. The guided walk adds context, and the activities keep the visit lively. For a fuller experience, arrive early or later in the day if your schedule allows, try all three main rides, and leave time for the field walk.

I would look elsewhere if you want a demanding adventure, an untouched countryside setting or a completely quiet visit. The zipline is intentionally mild, and the photo installations are part of the experience. For a fair price, though, this is a useful mix of scenery, light thrills and staff-supported photos. Book it if that balance sounds like your kind of Ubud day.
