Ubud: Zipline, Bali Swing, and Sky Bike in a Private Rice Terrace
Book on Viator →Operated by Your Bali Escape · Bookable on Viator
A ride over Bali’s rice terraces changes how you see the place. This private Ubud outing mixes Bali swings, a zipline + sky bike, and a guided walk through working fields with culture stops and photo moments.
I especially like how the day is built around photos without feeling like you’re stuck waiting around. The team helps you pose, and you can even do retakes if you don’t like a shot—plus there’s a strong focus on safety gear and making sure you can actually enjoy the rides. One thing to keep in mind: weather can limit what runs on the day, so it’s smart to be flexible if rain rolls in.

Key Highlights You’ll Actually Feel

- Private rice-terrace setting with multiple ride options in one place
- Wings of Bali + the world’s biggest dream catcher swing for standout photos
- Staff-led posing support (I’d plan to use their direction for best results)
- Zipline and sky bike for bird’s-eye views above the paddy fields

U Fun Field: Your Rice-Terrace Playground in Ubud

Ubud’s most fun version of the rice terraces starts at U Fun Field, set right inside a working agricultural landscape. Think of it as an outdoor activity hub built around three things: rides, culture, and photo stops that make it easy to look like you planned the whole shoot (even if you didn’t).
From the way the place is set up, you can do this day without rushing. The team handles safety gear, dress/accessories for photos, and the flow between activities, so you’re not stuck figuring out the timing yourself. And yes, the views are the main event—standing still for a minute here is worth it.

Where this fits best
If you want an active morning that still feels scenic and authentic, this stop works well. If you’re hoping for a quiet, sleepy temple walk with no photos and no adrenaline, you might find it a bit “activity-forward.”
Bali Swings: Pick Your Thrill Level (Then Enjoy It)
The swing lineup is one of the biggest reasons people book this. You can choose from multiple Bali swing styles, from more serene rides like Flower Swing and Couple Swing to higher-adrenaline options like the Dream Catcher Swing and the Extreme Swing.
Here’s how to think about your choices. If you’re traveling with kids, or you’re not sure about heights, start lower and do the bolder swings only if you’re feeling good. If you’re a thrill person, you’ll probably want to prioritize the swings first—because once you’re warm and focused, the photos and your body language tend to come out better.
The staff makes a difference
What stands out in the experience isn’t just the rides. It’s the helpers—people like Hesham (named in feedback) guide posing for pictures and keep things moving in a friendly way. Several people also noted how patient the team is with retaking photos if you want a better angle, which is huge if you care about actually getting shots you like.
A practical note about safety and comfort
You’ll get safety equipment, and the day is designed for a wide age range (5 to 99). Still, I’d wear comfortable shoes you don’t mind getting a little dusty. If you’re doing a swing and you want photos that look natural, keep your hair secured and wear something that won’t shift around mid-ride.

Zipline and Sky Bike: Bird’s-Eye Views You Don’t Need to Earn the Hard Way

After swings, the view changes again—this time from above. The zipline glides over lush greenery of the rice terraces, giving you that classic “you’re flying over the fields” feeling with a clear, scenic horizon.
Then there’s the sky bike, where you pedal above the paddy fields for another bird’s-eye perspective. This is the kind of activity that feels different from the swings because you’re not just sitting in position—you’re actively moving while the view stays locked in.
If weather changes your plan
One real-world consideration: rain can affect what you can do. In heavy rain, you may find operations shift, with fewer activities run. Build in flexibility so you don’t feel disappointed if you end up doing more of the swings and less of the zipline/sky bike on that day.
Why these rides are good value
These aren’t just “one quick photo moment.” They’re repeatable, scenic, and tied to the rice terrace setting. That means you get multiple perspectives—ground level, swing level, and above the fields—without spending your whole day hopping between locations.
The Photo Spots and Dress Moments (Without Overpaying)
U Fun Field has 7 photo booths, including the famous Wings of Bali setup. The good news is the layout makes it easy to stop, pose, and get moving again instead of spending your whole time walking between separate photo stands.
You’re also included with traditional outfit and accessories for pictures, which can help you avoid the “where do I even rent this?” stress. If you want to go further, there’s optional long dress rental (listed as a paid add-on), and a photographer add-on is also available.
What’s worth paying extra for
The long dress rental and photographer are both optional, not required. If you’re the type who cares about having finished, edited photos, the photographer add-on can save time. If you’re traveling with friends or family, you can often get great results on your own using the staff for posing tips and the included outfit/accessories.
Also, bring a phone battery plan. You’ll want it.
The Rice Terrace Cultural Hike: Farmers, Bamboo Bridges, and Coffee by Fire

The second big part of the experience is a guided walk through the rice fields with a cultural focus. You’ll hike the famous Ubud rice terraces, guided, with time at a farmer’s hut where you can learn about Balinese traditions.
This isn’t a “look only” style tour. You may interact with farmers, cross a bamboo bridge while passing by a waterfall, and even assist with harvest activities depending on what’s happening that day. Another option that’s mentioned is joining for a wood fire brewed cup of coffee, which adds a grounded, real-life texture to the experience.
Why this section matters (beyond scenery)
Ubud gets crowded, fast. This hike gives you a connection to the land that’s harder to find if you only focus on viewpoints and photos. Even if you’re mostly there for the fun rides, this is the part that makes the day feel like more than a theme-park loop.
What to expect physically
This is a hike through rice fields, so expect uneven ground. Wear footwear you trust, and go slow on slippery spots—especially if your day includes rain. Your guide can help you pace it and keep things safe.
Time in the Day: How the 1–3 Hours Feels in Real Life
The total duration is listed as about 1 to 3 hours, with travel time included. The exact flow depends on what package you choose (how many swings and whether you do zipline/sky bike), and on conditions like rain.
Here’s the mindset that keeps the day enjoyable: arrive ready to do two things at once—activity and photos. If you try to treat it like a slow stroll and a sprint at the same time, you’ll feel rushed. If you treat it like a guided set of short experiences (ride, photo, ride, photo, then hike), it feels smooth.
Private tour means you can move with your pace
Because it’s private, it’s easier to go at a comfortable speed. That matters for families, people who want more photo time, and anyone who doesn’t love being rushed from station to station.
Price and Value: What You’re Getting for Around $21

At about $21 per person, this is priced like a “high activity density” Ubud tour. You’re not just paying for one ride. You’re buying access to safety equipment, included rides (depending on your package), included photo outfit/accessories, and a guided cultural hike.
That’s also why the pricing feels fair. Ubud has plenty of experiences that cost much more for just one category—either photos, or adventure, or culture. Here, you get all three in one outing, and it’s structured so you don’t have to stitch together multiple separate tickets.
What can add cost
Two common add-ons are the long dress rental and the photographer fee. Lunch is also not included. If you’re budget-focused, you can skip those add-ons and still have a strong experience thanks to included traditional accessories and staff posing help.
A realistic expectation
The biggest “value” question for you is how much you’ll use the activities you select. If you’re only excited about one swing style, you might decide to do fewer options. If you want the variety—swings, zipline, sky bike, and the hike—then this price makes a lot of sense.
Getting There: The Meeting Point and a Smart Transport Tip
The meeting point is at U Fun Field, listed on Jl. Banjar Gadungan, Bresela, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali. The tour can include private transportation with a driver if that option is selected.
A practical tip from experience: if you’re not using pickup, going straight to the attraction by Grab or taxi can be the easiest plan. It removes one extra coordination step and helps you start on time.
Who Should Book This Tour (and Who Might Want Something Else)
This private rice-terrace adventure fits best if you want:
- Action + scenery in one morning or afternoon
- A family-friendly day where kids can enjoy swings while adults enjoy views
- A tour that gives you posing support and helps with photos
- A culture element that includes a guided rice-field hike
It might not be the right match if you want:
- A quiet, low-impact walk with no rides
- Guaranteed zipline/sky bike time regardless of weather
- A purely historical temple/culture focus with minimal activity stations
Wheelchair note
Wheelchair access is listed for viewing, but participation in the activities isn’t possible. So if you need mobility access for the rides themselves, you’ll want to plan around the “views only” reality.

Should You Book This Private Rice Terrace Adventure?
I’d book it if you want a Ubud day that mixes adventure rides, serious photo stops, and a guided cultural hike—without spending your whole trip in transport between separate activities. The staff energy stands out in feedback, and the way they help with posing and retakes can turn a frustrating photo day into a smooth one.
I’d think twice if you’re very weather-sensitive and want every single ride guaranteed, or if you prefer slow, quiet sightseeing. In rain, plan for fewer runs and focus on what’s still working—often the swings and the rice-field views still deliver.
If your goal is a value-heavy Ubud experience—fun first, scenery always, culture included—this private rice-terrace combo is a strong choice.
