Bali—the magical island, a dream destination for many travelers. You’ve probably done plenty of research and scrolled through hundreds of photos before your trip. You can already imagine yourself in front of iconic spots like Ulun Danu, Uluwatu Temple, Finns Club, Ubud Palace, and Seminyak Beach. But now, you’re wondering, “Should I visit Bali Swing?” After all, you’ve seen countless photos of smiling people on swings, and you’re thinking, “Is it worth it or just another overhyped attraction?”
Here are 7 reasons why Bali Swing is a must-see during your Bali adventure:
1. Relive Your Childhood Joy
Everyone remembers the swings from childhood. Who didn’t spend hours on playground swings, backyard swings, or even on ropes tied to tree branches during visits to Grandma’s? It’s that pure, carefree joy that we all treasure. But let’s face it, those swings were made for kids. So, how do you recapture that feeling as an adult—when you’re bigger and, well, heavier? Maybe you’ve tried hopping onto a carousel horse, secretly hoping it won’t collapse under your weight, or you’ve longed to swing next to a friend, laughing and gossiping like the good old days.
At Bali Swing, you can relive those moments. These swings are designed for adults—yes, even for those with a bit more “heft.” So why not take the chance to feel young and carefree again?
2. Pure Pleasure and Wind in Your Hair
Not all swings at Bali Swing are designed for adrenaline junkies. Sure, some are high and fast, but others are perfect for simple, pure enjoyment. These swings don’t have long ropes, so the feeling you get is pure pleasure, enhanced by the tropical wind in your hair. It awakens your senses and brings you into the moment, something often lost in the hustle of daily life.
You can even ask the staff to swing you gently for a more relaxing experience. For this, we highly recommend visiting Bali Swing Sidan, where the swings are designed for comfort and relaxation. The ropes cradle your back, giving you a sense of security as you lean back, close your eyes, and let yourself fully enjoy the moment. Many visitors return for this very reason.
3. The Feeling of Flying
At Bali Swing, the swings are suspended from real palm trees. Unlike other places across Bali, where swings are often an afterthought at restaurants or hotels, Bali Swing was designed with the perfect palm trees in mind. Most of the other locations hang their swings from metal structures, which just doesn’t give the same feeling.
When you swing from a palm tree, the tree bends and sways with you, giving you the sensation of flying. Yes, really! You might even find yourself shouting, “I’m flying!” Don’t be swayed into stopping at just any swing spot. Choose a Bali Swing park and enjoy the authentic experience—even if it means going a little out of your way.
4. Where It All Began
Swings are popping up all over the world—in places like the UAE, Thailand, Switzerland, India, and beyond. But did you know that the swing craze started right here in Bali? It’s true—Bali Swing was the inspiration for all those swing attractions. Doesn’t that make it worth checking out? You have the unique opportunity to visit the place where it all began.
5. On Your Way
While exploring Bali, you’ll visit many different locations. Bali Swing parks are conveniently located on opposite sides of Ubud, so they’re hard to miss. Bali Swing Canyon is 13 km west of Ubud in the Ayung River Canyon, and Bali Swing Sidan is 13 km east of Ubud in the Kissidan Eco Hill enclave. You’ll likely pass one of these parks on your way to other famous Bali attractions.
You can also plan your day around a Bali Swing location to get the most out of your time. For instance, near Bali Swing Sidan, you’ll find stunning waterfalls like Kano Lampo, Tegenungan, Goa Rang Reng, and Tibumana. You can also combine your visit with stops at Flamingo Beach Club or Omma Day Club, both only 25 minutes away. If you’re heading back to Seminyak from Lempuyang Temple (the Gates of Heaven), Lahangan Sweet Viewpoint, or Kintamani, Bali Swing Sidan is right along the main road.
6. “I’ve Been There”
Visiting Bali without stopping at Bali Swing? That sounds almost like a missed opportunity! This famous attraction has its share of glowing reviews, but also some negative ones—mostly from people who didn’t visit the right spots or didn’t visit at all. You don’t want to be in that group, do you? Check it out for yourself.
Afterward, when someone asks, “Is Bali Swing worth it?” you’ll have your own opinion to share. Most Bali visitors travel thousands of kilometers and spend hours on a plane. Isn’t it worth seeing one of the world’s most popular attractions with your own eyes?
7. Something for Everyone
If you’re traveling with a partner or friends, it’s likely your tastes differ. One of you might enjoy animal parks like Bali Bird Park, while the other prefers historical sites like Tanah Lot Temple. Maybe you’re the adventure-lover, than you will choose ATV adventure, while your partner is more into cultural experiences like the Barong Dance at Ubud Palace.
Don’t overlook Bali Swing! Whether it’s for the reasons listed above or just to capture that perfect photo, it’s worth the visit. You can even take a tandem swing photo together—perhaps a sweet kiss on the swing, a romantic keepsake for your bedside table. For others, it’s a memory of joy and shared moments that they’ll treasure forever.
