Giant swings suspended over the valley are a signature part of the Tegalalang experience. Before you line up, it helps to know how much they cost and what to expect on the ridge.
How much does the Bali swing at Tegalalang cost?
Swing rides at Tegalalang cost between 100,000 and 450,000 IDR per person.
You pay this fee directly to the private operators stationed near the top of the ridge. This price is separate from the official 25,000 IDR general entrance fee. Photo spots like woven bird nests are also available for an extra charge.
Can you rent flowing dresses at the swings?
Yes, most swing operators rent long, flowing dresses to wear during your ride.
These dresses create a dramatic effect as they catch the wind over the terraces. You can select your outfit on-site before your turn. Bring small Indonesian Rupiah bills, as you must pay for dress rentals in cash.
What types of swings are available?
Operators offer different styles, ranging from extreme single swings to relaxing tandem options.
Some venues feature specific setups such as the Dream Catcher Swing, Extreme Swing, and Moon Swings. Most stations include harnesses and safety belts. You can also find sky bikes and zip lines if you want more variety.
Are the Bali swings safe?
The swings use harnesses, safety belts, and helmets for specific activities.
Local operators secure you before the ride begins. Always follow the staff's instructions and check the safety gear before taking off. If a specific swing looks unmaintained, walk to another operator along the ridge.
How do I get the best swing photos?
Arrive before 9:00 AM to get the best light and avoid the heaviest crowds.
Use a wide-angle lens on your smartphone or camera to capture the entire valley below the swing. Some operators offer a photographer add-on for an extra fee. If you rent a dress, staff will help pose the fabric before you swing.
Is the Bali swing at Tegalalang worth it?
It is worth it if you want the classic Bali photo and do not mind paying extra.
If you prefer nature hikes, you might want to skip the swings. The 45 to 90-minute walk through the valley offers plenty of great viewpoints for just the 25,000 IDR entry fee.
Questions travellers ask
Do I have to pay the general entrance fee if I only want to swing?
Yes. You must pay the official 25,000 IDR entry fee in cash at the main booths to access the ridge where the swings are located.
Can I book a swing ticket in advance?
Some operators allow walk-ins, but you can book activity packages that include ziplines, sky bikes, and specific swings before you arrive to secure your spot.
What should I wear if I do not rent a dress?
Wear light, breathable clothing. The area has high humidity and heat. If you plan to walk the terraces after swinging, bring sturdy walking shoes.
