Ubud: Zipline, Bali Swing, and Sky Bike in a Private Rice Terrace

The most unusual part of this Ubud outing is the setting: you are not simply riding a swing in a theme park. U Fun Field spreads its activities across 40,000 square meters of working rice fields, with paddies, a bamboo bridge, a waterfall, and a farmer’s hut nearby. You can swing high above the greenery, pedal along a wire, then walk into the countryside for a taste of Balinese farm life.

I like the mix of thrills and culture, and I like that the staff take time with photos rather than pushing you through each activity. Hesham is singled out for his warm, energetic help, while the photography team guides poses and retakes pictures when needed. The main drawback is weather: heavy rain can stop the zipline and sky bike, and the advertised price may not include transport, lunch, long-dress rental, or professional photography.

Key points to know before booking

• Three different aerial activities: Choose from Bali swings, a zipline over the rice fields, and a sky bike that puts you above the paddies.
• Four swing styles: The Dream Catcher and Extreme Swing are the bold choices, while the Flower and Couple Swings offer a calmer ride.
• Seven photo settings: The Wings of Bali and other photo booths give you plenty of polished pictures, especially with the traditional outfits and accessories.
• A real countryside walk: The second part can include a farmer’s hut, bamboo bridge, waterfall, harvest activity, and coffee brewed over a wood fire.
• Private format: Only your own group takes part, with a duration of about one to three hours depending on the selected activities and timing.
• Extra costs matter: A long dress costs $15 per person, photography costs $15 per person, and lunch is not included.

U Fun Field puts the rice fields first

U Fun Field is in Bresela, Payangan, north of central Ubud. Its location gives the experience much of its appeal. The rides are built around views of Bali’s famous paddies, so the setting does more work than a standard amusement park backdrop.

The centerpiece is the Wings of Bali photo artwork, along with what the operator describes as the world’s biggest Dream Catcher Swing. That claim is difficult to verify independently, but the practical point is clear: this is a large, highly visual attraction designed for memorable pictures as much as for movement.

You can choose among four swing options. The Dream Catcher Swing is the signature choice for scale and drama. The Extreme Swing is aimed at people who want a stronger rush. The Flower Swing and Couple Swing are gentler options, better suited to a slower ride or a shared photograph.

The activity is intended for ages five through 99, although each person should judge their own comfort with heights and motion. The site is wheelchair accessible for enjoying the views, but wheelchair users cannot take part in the rides.

What the swings are really like

The swings are the most flexible part of the visit. You can treat them as a thrill ride, a photo session, or both. The staff are used to helping with poses, and that is useful because a swing photograph is not as simple as sitting down and pressing a button.

If you want the classic Bali image, the long dress rental is worth considering. The dress creates movement as you swing and is clearly part of the visual appeal. It costs $15 per person for a three-meter trail, so add it only if the photographs matter to you.

Traditional outfits and accessories are included for pictures. That gives you another way to make the visit feel connected to Bali rather than like a generic ride. I would ask at the start which outfit and swing combination will work best for the photographs you want.

The couple option is designed for two people, while the Flower Swing gives you a softer, more decorative look. The Extreme Swing is the one to choose for a jolt of adrenaline, but you do not need to take every option to enjoy the stop.

One especially useful feature is the unhurried approach from the photography staff. A person who does not like a pose can ask for another attempt, and the staff have been praised for being patient with retakes. Hesham is also noted for helping with poses and videos, including pictures for people who arrive in their own formal clothing.

Zipline and sky bike above the paddies

The zipline is the simplest thrill to understand: you glide across the rice fields with a bird’s-eye view of the greenery below. It is often the highlight for people who want motion and scenery without the more theatrical styling of the swings.

The sky bike is more unusual. You pedal yourself above the paddy fields on a narrow elevated route. It combines balance and movement, so it feels different from the passive rush of the zipline. One activity gives you speed, while the other asks you to keep going under your own power.

These rides depend heavily on conditions. Rain can make the equipment unsuitable, and one account of a wet day resulted in only two swings being completed, with the zipline and bicycle skipped. That is not a flaw in the staff’s approach. It is a reminder to leave some flexibility in your Bali schedule and not book this as your only major activity on a stormy day.

Safety equipment and insurance are included. The attraction is built around organized activities, with staff handling the rides and helping with pictures. You should still expect basic height and motion requirements, even though the experience is promoted as family-friendly.

Seven photo spots, including Wings of Bali

The seven photo stations are a major reason to choose this experience instead of simply visiting a rice terrace viewpoint. The Wings of Bali is the best-known setting, but the collection gives you several backgrounds and poses in one place.

This works well for couples, families, and anyone who wants photos without arranging a separate sightseeing stop. The traditional clothing and accessories add variety, while a photographer can help create both posed images and videos.

Professional photography is not included. It costs $15 per person. You can bring your own phone or camera and still receive help with posing from the team, as several experiences show. If you want a polished set of images, the extra charge may be reasonable. If you are comfortable taking your own pictures, skip it and use the staff’s posing advice.

The on-site cafe is another practical touch. You can sit with a coffee or meal while waiting, and food has received strong praise. Still, lunch is listed as an extra, so do not assume it is part of the $21 base price.

The one-hour rice-field walk adds meaning

The countryside walk is what keeps this from being only a photo-and-ride attraction. The route leads through the well-known Ubud rice fields and includes a guided cultural visit at a farmer’s hut.

You may meet farmers, hear about Balinese traditions, and see how daily work connects to the paddies. The planned activities can include helping with the harvest or sharing coffee brewed over a wood fire. These details give the rice terraces a human purpose. You are not only looking at neat green steps in the ground; you are seeing agricultural land that supports local life.

The route also crosses a bamboo bridge above a waterfall. That sounds more active than a quick roadside viewpoint, so wear shoes you can use on an uneven or potentially wet path. The supplied information does not give a difficulty grade, and the total walk is listed at about one hour, so ask the operator about conditions if anyone in your group has mobility concerns.

The cultural portion depends on appointment. That matters. If the farmer visit is important to you, confirm that it is scheduled rather than assuming every departure includes the same interaction. The guided walk is also a good reason to choose a longer visit rather than rushing through only the rides.

Is $21 good value?

At $21 per person, the experience is priced attractively for a package that can include several activities, safety equipment, insurance, photo access, traditional accessories, and a cultural walk. The value is strongest if you plan to use the zipline, sky bike, and at least one swing, then take the rice-field walk.

The price needs careful reading. Swings, zipline, and sky bike depend on the package you select. Private transport is included only if that option is chosen. Long-dress rental, professional photography, and lunch cost extra.

Pickup is offered, but one practical account found that taking a Grab or taxi directly to U Fun Field was the easier choice. That does not mean the transport option has no value. It means you should compare the quoted pickup cost with a direct ride, especially if you are already staying in Ubud.

The private format is useful for families and couples. You are not joining a large shared group, and the staff can focus on your photos and pace. It also helps if one person wants the Extreme Swing while another prefers the Couple or Flower Swing.

Timing, weather, and what to bring

The total duration is listed as about one to three hours, with travel time included. The exact length depends on your chosen package and whether the cultural walk is arranged. A short visit can focus on the rides and pictures. A longer one gives you time for the rice fields, farmer’s hut, and coffee stop.

Start with enough time to decide which activities matter most. If the sky is clear, you may want all three aerial options. If clouds are building, do the outdoor rides first and leave the cultural walk or cafe time for later.

Wear clothing that allows easy movement. You may change into a traditional outfit or long dress for pictures, and the rice-field walk can involve a bamboo bridge and a route near a waterfall. Bring protection from sun and rain, since the experience takes place outdoors.

The meeting point is U Fun Field, at Jl. Banjar Gadungan, Bresela, Payangan, Gianyar, Bali 80572. The activity ends there unless your selected transport option takes you elsewhere. Confirmation is provided at booking, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not refunded.

Who will enjoy this most?

I would recommend this for families, couples, first-time Bali visitors, and anyone who wants photographs with a built-in activity. The range of swings makes it possible for different comfort levels to share the same stop, and the private format removes the pressure of keeping up with strangers.

It also suits people who want a little cultural context with their entertainment. The rice-field walk, farmer’s hut, bamboo bridge, and wood-fire coffee are more grounded than the rides alone.

I would be more cautious if you dislike heights, have limited mobility, or are visiting during a period of heavy rain. Wheelchair users can enjoy the views but cannot participate in the rides. Someone seeking a quiet, traditional village walk may find the photo booths and large swings too commercial, while someone seeking nonstop adventure may find the cultural hour a slower change of pace.

The overall score is 4.6 out of 5, with 92 percent recommending it. That matches the main strengths: friendly staff, strong views, patient photo help, and a good range of activities. The lower satisfaction points are practical rather than dramatic, mainly weather interruptions and confusion about what transport and extras are included.

Should you book U Fun Field?

Book it if you want a convenient half-day-style outing that combines Bali swing photographs, aerial rides, and a short cultural walk in one private experience. The $21 starting price is good value when your package includes the activities you want, but check the transport and add-on costs before paying.

Choose the zipline if you want the biggest rush, the sky bike if you want something unusual, and the Flower or Couple Swing if your priority is a relaxed photograph. Add the long dress and photographer only when those images are central to your plans.

If the forecast calls for heavy rain, keep your expectations flexible. On a clear day, U Fun Field offers an entertaining look at Ubud’s rice-country setting, with enough local contact to give the outing more substance than a standard photo stop.
