Blangsingah Glass Bridge — Attraction in Pulau Bali

The glass bridge in Bali is undoubtedly an impressive tourist attraction, drawing numerous visitors. However, the entrance fee of 15 euros per person (as of November 1, 2024) seems questionable and somewhat excessive. As a tourist, I was willing to pay this fee for myself and my wife – a total of 30 euros. Yet, the promises made to us before buying tickets turned out to be misleading and disappointing. Such practices should be avoided to maintain guests’ trust.

When purchasing tickets, we were told that using a swing was included for free. Although the swing was there, it looked so low-quality that no one wanted to use it. We were also informed that we would receive a drink or a small snack if we gave a 5-star review on Google and showed it to them. This explains the high number of positive reviews. Staff members monitor this process closely – watching over visitors’ shoulders or even taking their phones to enter the review themselves, adding their own name as an “excellent employee” and writing the text. In my opinion, this practice is not only dishonest but also misleads future visitors about the actual experience.

Regarding the promised drinks, no specific details were given. When I requested my “promised” drink, I was shown a selection of the simplest and smallest bottles – Coke, Fanta, Sprite, or water. Other drinks listed on a menu, such as cocktails, mocktails, or hot drinks, were not available as options. This felt disappointing, as expectations were created that went unfulfilled.

Such behavior leaves visitors with a negative impression and leads to frustration. It would be better to eliminate the drink-and-review practice entirely and focus on what truly matters – the experience of the bridge itself. Visitors are happy to pay for a worthwhile attraction, but these additional, non-transparent promises end up creating...

Super disappointed with this place! It was really expensive - even at half the price it would be still be overpriced! To start with we were charged $80,000 IDR to be dropped off at the carpark next door, even though our driver didn’t park there! When we asked what the tickets were for the staff wouldn’t answer but told us the Bridge tickets were additional. Then at the actual bridge (super expensive at $750,000 IDR), we were given a voucher for satay chicken from what looked like a makeshift dwelling with no air con, so we politely passed up on that. The swing is a total letdown, not much to see apart from the trees and only goes a metre or so out from the edge. The walk across the bridge only takes about 2 mins (max) and apart from looking across at the beautiful restaurant that sits across the other side of the water, once you are done there is nothing else to do but walk back again. Our driver hadn’t been there before and after we were done, he made the comment that he was glad he didn’t have to pay! I wouldn’t recommend this experience as there are many other (better) things to do in Bali for...

Review: Blangsinga Glass Bridge

“The Blangsinga Glass Bridge in Bali is a must-visit for anyone seeking a thrilling experience combined with stunning views of nature. Standing on the transparent bridge and looking down at the lush jungle and the powerful Blangsinga Waterfall below is both exhilarating and breathtaking. The bridge feels very safe, and the staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience comfortable even for those who might feel a bit nervous.

One downside is that it can get crowded during peak hours, which can limit the peaceful, immersive experience I was hoping for. The entry fee is also a bit steep, especially since you may have to pay separately for the waterfall area. However, I found the visit worth it for the unique experience and photo opportunities.

If you’re planning to go, I’d recommend visiting early in the morning to beat the crowds and get the best lighting for photos. Overall, I’d recommend the Blangsinga Glass Bridge to anyone looking for a unique perspective on Bali’s beautiful landscapes—especially those who love a bit of...
