The Itinerary Breakdown
The tour kicks off with a hotel pickup in Ubud, a convenient way to start your adventure without the fuss of organizing transport. Once picked up, you’re whisked away into Bali’s lush countryside, ready for a five-hour journey packed with action and sights.
The highlight for many is the ATV ride, which lasts about an hour. This part of the tour is designed for fun, taking you through jungle tracks, rice fields, muddy patches, small rivers, and even a cave tunnel. The varied terrain is ideal for both beginners and more experienced riders, as guides typically offer guidance and safety instructions. We loved the way the trail weaves through Bali’s countryside—each turn offers new scenery, and the muddy bits add a bit of mess and laughter to the ride.
The Bali Swing at Swing Heaven is the next big draw. Imagine swinging high above the treetops, with panoramic views of lush valleys and forested hills. The swings are designed to give you that exhilarating feeling of flying, perfect for capturing dramatic photos and making memories. The reviews highlight the breathtaking vistas and the fun of feeling like a child again.

The ride through Jungle, rice paddies, muddy patches, and small rivers encapsulates Bali’s rich rural environment. Some reviews mention the guides’ friendliness and their willingness to share Bali insights, adding a cultural touch to the adrenaline.
The cave tunnel is an unexpected highlight. It’s a short but fun feature, offering a different perspective of Bali’s natural formations. After the ATV ride, you’ll head to the Swing Heaven area, where the Bali Swing awaits. Here, you’ll experience a 30-minute swing session, which is enough to get multiple photos and enjoy the views.
The Lunch Break
After these adventures, the tour includes a lunch—a good value addition that allows you to relax and refuel. The lunch options are generally Balinese or Indonesian dishes, giving you a taste of local cuisine in a scenic setting. This pause is appreciated by travelers who want a break from activity and an opportunity to enjoy fresh, flavorful food.
