We hadn’t heard of Bali Swing when we were researching our excursions. We decided to try it after another hotel guest recommended it to us. I’m so glad she did. It was a lot of fun!

My Bali Swing Review

The attraction we visited was made up of swings that went out over a valley. These were different from your average playpark, with amazing views below and quite an adrenaline rush. This review and the photos are from our earlier trip.

Being Launched Over The Valley

The swings were really good fun, especially the big one, which I wore a full-body harness for. I had to get onto the seat whilst a couple of staff held me, then they counted down and launched me over the valley.

The views were breathtaking and the adrenaline rush was awesome. I can’t say it wasn’t a little scary being launched out so high, but it was brilliant.

Photo Spots And The Staff

There were bird’s nests to have photos taken in, one up in the trees and one overlooking the valley. There was also a large branded stone to stand on for a photo. If you look closely at ours, you can see the harnesses.

The staff were good fun. When people left, someone blew a whistle and all the staff shouted “Bali Swing, thank you”. It was a little odd at first, but after a while we thought it was a really nice touch. When we left, we shouted back “Thank you, Bali Swing” and got lots of waves.

Food And Drinks On Our Visit

Our swing access worked out at about £25 per person, plus a small entrance charge. That sounded quite expensive compared with some other attractions in Bali, but the package included food and soft drinks.

There was a nice seating area over the valley, with local dishes to help ourselves to. The women who had cooked them were lovely, explaining what was in the dishes. We enjoyed our lunch there very much.

Checking The Current Bali Swing Packages

Check the Bali Swing website for the location and packages available now. Its current site gives an address in Sidan. There are lots of swing attractions in Bali, so confirm exactly which one your driver or tour company is taking you to.

Our earlier price and journey aren’t a current quote. Check what’s included, such as food, photos and transfers, and ask your driver about travel time from where you’re staying.

We wore harnesses and had help from staff. That doesn’t remove the risks of an activity at height. Ask about the age, weight and health restrictions before booking, and check your insurance covers what you intend to do.

We also went quad biking in Bali. For a stay on nearby Lombok, you can read about our visit to Puri Mas Hotel.
