One action day. Two photo missions.

This Bali ATV Ride and Bali Swing combo in Ubud is a full-on change of pace: you start with a 2-hour ATV ride through rice fields, a local village, and small river scenery, then you switch gears to Bali Swing in Bongkasa for a long, variety-packed photo session. I really like the sightseeing style ATV ride (not a speed run), which makes it easier to enjoy the views and stop for pictures. I also love that the swing lineup isn’t just one swing setup, but several types for different poses and backgrounds. One thing to consider: it’s a tight schedule and the swing part depends on good weather, so you’ll want flexibility on your travel day.

You’ll start around 8:30 am and move around for a good chunk of the day, with a private A/C car and an English-speaking driver. The good news is that it’s designed for a smooth flow—ATV first, lunch break, then the swing—plus insurance coverage during the ATV and swing activities.

Key takeaways before you book

• Sightseeing-paced ATV with lots of time to stop and take photos
• Bali Swing in Bongkasa with multiple swing types, not a one-and-done setup
• Private, A/C transport with an English-speaking driver
• Insurance coverage included for ATV ride and swing time
• Mineral water and Indonesian lunch included so you’re not scrambling for basics
• Dress/photographer at the swing aren’t included, so plan a small extra budget if you want them

One 8-hour plan that actually feels like two great trips

This is the kind of tour combo that makes sense on a first or second Bali day in Ubud, because you get two different “Bali looks” in one outing. You go from low-speed (but still fun) ATV riding through countryside scenes to the very curated, photo-friendly world of Bali swings in the forest near Bongkasa.

What makes it work is that neither half is “rushy.” The ATV is positioned as sightseeing, not racing. And the swing time is long enough that you’re not just grabbing one quick swing and being done. The result is that you can treat it like an experience day, not a check-the-box marathon.

Pickup and pacing from Ubud: what your morning should feel like

Start time is 8:30 am, and the tour runs about 8 hours total. There’s also about 3 hours of travel time factored in, so don’t plan this as a quick morning detour. You’re signing up for a full day where transport and activity time both matter.

Because it’s a private setup for your group (not shared with strangers), you’ll usually get a calmer experience. You’re also not stuck playing scheduling roulette with other groups, which matters when the swing portion is weather-dependent.

A practical tip: wear clothes that can handle humidity and gear up for getting a little dusty. This isn’t a formal event, and comfort beats fashion here.

Bali ATV Ride: rice fields, village life, and a relaxed jungle pace

The ATV portion is about 2 hours, and it’s built around “hidden beauty” scenes you can’t see the same way on foot. Expect countryside views like rice fields and photo stops where you can pause as much as you want. Then you pass through a local village area and see everyday village activity up close.

The ride is described as an ATV sightseeing tour, not a speeding tour. That detail is more important than it sounds. When the pace is controlled, you can actually look around. You’re not constantly bracing yourself, and you can enjoy the mix of views—rice views, village life, and river-adjacent scenery—without the experience feeling chaotic.

One consideration: this is an outdoor adventure, and the “jungle” and rural areas can mean uneven ground. The tour lists moderate physical fitness as the baseline. If you have mobility limits that make getting on/off or holding steady uncomfortable, it’s worth thinking twice.

Lunch reset: the included Indonesian meal you’ll appreciate

After the ATV, you get lunch with Indonesian food. That break is not just a bonus—it’s smart pacing. ATV riding uses your core and shoulders, and then you’re heading into a long swing time where you’ll want your energy.

If you’re the type who needs a decent sit-down meal to reset, this part helps. Also, it keeps you from spending your time searching for food nearby after a ride.

Real Bali Swing in Bongkasa: why the multiple swing types matter

The swing stop runs about 3 hours, and it’s in Bongkasa, close to Ubud. This is key because the scenery is part of the appeal—swings placed for forest-view photos, with a setting designed for good angles.

What I really like here is the variety of swings included. Instead of one “hero” swing, your package includes:

• 2 single swings
• 1 romantic swing
• 1 bed swing
• 1 sky bed
• 1 chicken nest
• 1 bird nest

That list changes how you experience the time. With multiple swing styles, you get different “photo story” moments. You’re not stuck repeating the same pose from the same height. You can also choose what fits your comfort level—if you want something more playful, the nest swings are there; if you prefer a more classic couple vibe, the romantic swing is included.

Photo strategy that works: treat this like a mini shoot. Start with the swings that feel most comfortable to you first, then build toward the more dramatic ones (like the bed-style setups) when your timing and camera angles are dialed in.

Two things to note:

• Rent dress at the swing is not included, so you’ll need to pay extra if you want the full styled look.
• A photographer at Bali Swing is not included, so your photos depend on what you bring (phone/camera) or whether you choose to hire help on-site.

The good part: the package already gives you plenty of swing chances via multiple included swing types, so you’re not paying for one quick shot and hoping for the best.

What’s included, what’s not, and what to bring

Here’s what you can count on:

• Private car with A/C and an English-speaking driver
• Petrol and parking
• 2 hours ATV ride adventure
• Swing pioneer active entry with the swing types listed above
• Mineral water (1 bottle per person)
• Insurance coverage during the ATV ride and Bali swing activities
• Admission tickets included
• Mobile ticket

What you should plan for:

• Dress rental at Bali Swing
• Photographer at Bali Swing

What to bring (practical, not fancy):

• A phone/camera you’re okay handling outdoors
• Something secure for small items (so you’re not juggling while you’re trying to enjoy the swings)
• Comfortable footwear for walking around the swing area and paths between photo spots

If you’re sensitive to weather changes, keep an eye on conditions before you go. The tour says it requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Price and value: is $120 reasonable for two big activities?

At $120 per person, you’re paying for two major experiences tied together with transport and key extras. The package doesn’t just include entry to two attractions—it includes private A/C transport, an English-speaking driver, insurance coverage during both the ATV and swing parts, plus water and lunch.

That matters for value because it reduces your hidden costs. You’re not paying separately for a driver to ferry you between locations, and you’re not scrambling for basic needs during the day. For a one-day combo, you’re essentially buying a planned flow.

Also, the rating is 4.9 with 14 reviews and a 100% recommended mark. That’s a strong signal that most people felt the combo delivered on fun and ease.

If you’re deciding between doing these as separate bookings, this combo tends to win when you want a single organized day instead of juggling timing and locations yourself.

Who this tour fits best (and who should rethink it)

This is a great fit if:

• You want two different experiences in one Ubud day (ATV countryside + swing forest photos)
• You like activities that are fun without being a full-speed adrenaline assault
• You care about the photo side of Bali swings and want multiple included swing types
• You’re traveling with a partner and the romantic swing is appealing

You might want to rethink it if:

• You don’t handle uneven outdoor terrain well (ATV riding is listed with moderate physical fitness)
• You need a very flexible schedule, since the swing portion depends on good weather
• You hate “photo-stop culture” and would rather do fewer, simpler activities (this day is built around stopping, swinging, and taking pictures)

Should you book this Bali Golden Tour ATV and Swing combo?

I’d book it if you want a single, organized day that gives you variety: real countryside ATV time plus a long swing session with many swing styles, all tied together with private transport and the basics covered.

The main reason to pass would be if you’re planning a tight itinerary with no flexibility for weather. If you can handle a full day and you’re okay paying a bit extra only if you want the swing dress or a photographer, this combo is a strong value choice for Ubud.
