If you’re craving an active day packed with stunning scenery and a touch of adrenaline, this Full Day Bali Adventure offering quad biking and the famous Heaven Swing might just be your perfect match. While this tour is not a secret among Bali travelers, it consistently earns top marks for its mix of fun, scenery, and authentic local encounters.
What we love about this experience is how it combines adventure with spectacular views, all in a well-organized package. The guided quad biking trail takes you through rainforests, rice terraces, and muddy paths, giving a real sense of Bali’s natural beauty. Afterwards, the Heaven Swing offers a dramatic, heart-stopping shot over the canyon for those must-have Instagram moments. Plus, a delicious Indonesian buffet keeps you fueled for the day.
One potential consideration is the timing—since the entire day lasts around 8 hours, it’s best suited for travelers who enjoy full-day excursions rather than quick stops. Also, some may find the physical nature of the quad biking demanding, so a basic level of fitness helps. This tour is ideal for active travelers, adventure lovers, or anyone wanting a memorable, photo-worthy day in Ubud.

The Quad Biking Adventure: More Than Just a Ride
The 1.5 to 2-hour quad biking trip is designed to be fun and engaging, following your guide through narrow rainforests, muddy tracks, caves, and even water crossings. The terrain is varied, providing a genuine sense of adventure, and the group is kept small (maximum 10 participants) to ensure everyone gets personal attention and a safe experience.
Travelers who’ve tried similar tours praise the guides’ professionalism and friendliness. One reviewer mentioned how their guide, Murtana, made the experience not only fun but also educational, sharing details about the local rice terraces and community. The small group size also means less waiting and more personalized interaction, which enhances the overall experience.
Expect to see Bali’s iconic rice terraces along the trail, a peaceful contrast to the rugged adventure, and possibly even meet locals working their land—an authentic slice of rural Bali. The tour also involves water crossings and muddy sections, so wearing light, comfortable, preferably dry-fit clothes will make the experience more enjoyable.
Lunch Time: A Taste of Bali
After the adrenaline rush, your driver will take you to a local restaurant for a delicious Indonesian buffet lunch. This is an appreciated inclusion, providing a hearty meal to recharge your energy. Bali’s cuisine is flavorful, often a mix of spicy, sweet, and savory elements, and the buffet setup affords variety and flexibility. It’s also a nice chance to relax and chat with fellow travelers before heading to the next highlight: the Heaven Swing.
The Ultimate Photo Op: Heaven Swing Bali
Post-lunch, your driver will ferry you to the Heaven Swing—a site that’s become a staple for Bali visitors seeking that perfect, breathtaking shot. The swing is set over a canyon and lush valley, offering an adrenaline-pumping experience and a panoramic view that makes for truly unforgettable photos.
What sets this apart are the multiple swings and photo spots available—tandem swings, jungle beds, bird nests, stairs to heaven, and even an over-the-edge stone platform. Staff are on hand to take professional photos, which you can purchase later for USD 17, a worthwhile investment if capturing the moment is your goal. The swing’s weight limit of 200 kg means most travelers can participate, and the staff’s encouragement makes even the most hesitant swingers feel at ease.
You’ll have ample time to enjoy the swings, pose, and soak in the views. The staff’s friendly approach and willingness to capture various angles help create those perfect shots. Once you’re done, your driver will take you back to your hotel, completing an action-packed day.
What’s Included & What to Keep in Mind
This tour offers excellent value, with private transportation ensuring your comfort and flexibility. The necessary equipment for quad biking and swinging, along with shower and changing facilities, make it easy to switch from adventure to relaxation smoothly.
The lunch is a thoughtful touch, giving you energy for the activities ahead. Insurance coverage also adds peace of mind, especially during the more physically demanding parts of the trip.
However, a few extras are available for purchase, such as souvenir photos and dress rentals for the swing shots. If you’re planning to document your experience, budgeting for these extras is wise.
