It's a nice place for taking pictures but that's it.
You feel like you are pushed from photo spot to photo spot, take some quick pictures and move on to the next swing. It's okay and you will get some cool pictures but you can not enjoy the place or the swinging.
You have to pay 350000 IDR entry fee (around 25$/Person) to use all the photospots. It's also possible to rent different dresses but you need to pay extra if you want to use their dresses..
The view of this place is quite nice and the stuff is also friendly. But if you want to enjoy nature, have a nice experience and just explore with some nice swings, you are wrong.
It's not a crowdy place like a lot of the other Bali swings. When we were there, we were the only customer and that was very cool.
You have to sign a paper in case something happens to you but they safe you with a rope on every swing and photospot. I think it's very safe.
You start with some pictures in a round nest, then go on to a big swing (like you imagine the jungle swings) and you can take pictures all the time. You can also give your phone to them so they take pictures for you. It's also possible to let them take pictures with their Nikon camera and you can buy the photos at the end.
We used our own Sony camera and give the phone to the nice stuff. When we wanted them to take pictures with our camera of us together they just said no and told us, they will just do it with phone. I think, that's a bit sad because they just want to make the money with high quality pictures but ok.
It's also a bit like they rush from one swing to the next and want you to take the shots as soon as possible. I understand, that you can not take a lot of time if it's crowdy and other people waiting for the swing but we were the only people there and it was sad, we couldn't take our time.
One good thing is, that they tell you some photoposes and they really take nice phone videos. They know what they do to create the Instagram memories 😅 but that's all it is. A place for Instagram Pictures..
It was okay because we just went there to take some cool shots but you cannot expect more from this place.
But i think the Ubud Jungle Swing is a much better choice if you do not want to be there with 100 of other tourists. And it's also a...
Read moreI'm probably a bit biased to do this review as I am a man and this place is more of an interest to women. Mind you there were men who enjoyed going on the swings and having photos taken constantly. It certainly isn't me and I only went there due to "Happy wife, happy life". Whoever made that saying up should have done one for men. Just saying. If you don't want to spend over 2 hours at one place and stand in line for mostly all swings and things, don't go here. During this time we had our friends, who decided not to as they couldn't justify the cost and our driver waiting, I thought the price was expensive and there were a lot of add-ons, such as a fee for professional photos, hiring a dress, for women that is. Thinking I would be in every photo and not wanting to buy the professional photos, I had to pay $100k for a friend to enter the place so they could take photos. After all that I only did 3 different swings as I physically couldn't get up on them. My bad I guess. We asked if our friend could take my place in some photos and they said that they couldn't. Not sure why as I did pay for 2 people to do it. This place is definitely not for a person with a disability. Too many steps and occupational health & safety isn't a priority for the owners. I definitely didn't enjoy my experience but my wife did. Of note it was extremely busy when we went and the lines were long. If intending to go would suggest making an enquiry on when...
Read moreThere’s no waiting line when we get there. All the team were very professional and will make you feel at ease especially for someone like me who’s very shy and have no idea on how to pose in front of different people: main photographer + assistant (whenever needed). All the shots went smooth and amazing with the guidance of the photographer. I definitely had a great time ❣️
I strongly recommend to get the add-ons (dress+photographer) tho it’s an additional costs but it’s not that expensive and it’s all worth it❣️ just pick the dress you want and give your phone to the photographer and let him do his magic.
Thank you to the team of Ubud...
