The Experience

I still laugh thinking about the first swing — I didn’t expect my legs to feel so wobbly when the staff counted down and gave me that gentle push. We’d just arrived at Swing Heaven after a short drive from Ubud (pickup was right on time, which felt rare for Bali). The air smelled damp and green, like wet leaves after rain. Our guide Wayan handed us a form to sign and joked about how many people scream on their first go. I tried not to be one of them but… well.

The swings are strung up right over the Ayung river valley — you can hear the water below if you listen past the birds. There’s this quiet moment before you launch where everything feels suspended, then suddenly you’re flying over all that green. Wayan offered to take photos with my phone (he actually got some good ones despite me flailing around). Afterward we tried those big bamboo nests — they look cheesy online but honestly, sitting in one with a cup of sweet tea while cicadas buzzed was oddly peaceful. My partner nearly fell asleep in the jungle bed. I might’ve teased him for it.

You can stay as long as you want, which is nice because we ended up just hanging out at the little bamboo restaurant for ages. Lunch isn’t included but it’s easy to order something simple — I had nasi goreng and watched a family try to get their toddler onto the smallest swing (the staff were saints about it). There were options for rafting or a Volkswagen tour if you’re feeling energetic, but honestly I was happy just watching the light shift through the trees. There’s something about that place that lingers with you after — maybe it’s just how silly and free everyone looks mid-swing.

What’s included

Your day includes private pickup from your hotel in Bali, all entry fees at Swing Heaven near Ubud, unlimited help from friendly local staff who’ll assist on every swing or nest (and snap all your photos), plus complimentary tea, coffee and water while you hang out among the trees as long as you like before heading back whenever suits you.
