If you want to do some adrenaline-packed activities and explore nature from a new, very different, angle, Bali has something fun for you to try – zipline.
It is a beginner-friendly activity, a whole adventure really, where you can enjoy the stunning views of Bali’s waterfalls, rice fields, and jungle forests from a bird’s eye view, flying across like a bird, suspended.
If that sounds great to you, check out our latest recommendations and tips on where to find the best zipline in Bali and what to expect from it.
Does Bali Have Ziplines?
Yes! Bali has quite a few zipline cables suspended across rivers, rainforests, and rice paddies that you can glide through and enjoy the views.
Most ziplines are located in Ubud or north Bali. Due to the heavy traffic, it may take up to 2 hours if you travel from Canggu or Seminyak. But the transport is usually covered by the tour guide.
Things To Know Before Ziplining In Bali
Zipline is also called Flying Fox and Canopy Tour. So if you see either – it is the same thing.
Ziplining in Bali is often combined with other adventure activities like rafting, ATV or canyoning. A less adventurous package is a zipline + big Bali swing where you can take beautiful pictures.
The standard minimal age for ziplines is 12, however many service providers in Bali claim that there are no age limits. Double-check to make sure your kids are safe.
The average speed of a zipline is 60 kilometres per hour.
The weight limit of Bali’s ziplines is 100 kg (200 pounds). If your weight is above, you will not be able to participate. International standards also mention that minimal weight is 36-40 kg (80-88 pounds). If a person is too light, they may get stuck in the middle of the zipline.
Make sure the zipline was set up legally and your experience is fully insured. Zipline activity is not recommended for pregnant women and people with heart or back problems.
How Much Is It To Go Ziplining In Bali?
The average cost to do a zipline in Bali is around 50-65 USD (73-95 AUD).
However, as zipline is often part of a larger day package, the price will depend on what activities you will do, and any potential park fees, rental, and transport fees.
It is usually cheaper to join a group or bring along some friends than to take a private tour.
Best Zipline Experience In Bali
You can book zipline activities through any popular day trip apps like Klook or GetYourGuide, or ask your hotel to arrange it for you.
Maya Dewa Canyon
Maya Dewa Canyon Zipline is a 50-m long zipline, located in the middle of the jungle in the Tabanan area. It is the longest waterfall zipline in Bali!
The day trip experience includes short trekking through the jungle, brief canyoneering training before you descend into the canyon, natural water slides in the natural pools, and vegetarian food.
Spots in the groups are available only by reservation and depending on weather conditions.
Swing & Zipline In Ubud
Fly above lush rice paddies and the jungle of Ubud just a short ride from central Ubud. Afterwards, you can take amazing pictures swinging on the Bali Swing in a flying dress, and swim in the Ulu Petanu Waterfalls.
Such an experience is available to book through many different tour operators, and will always include transportation fees, a little tour, and some snacks.
Sky Bike Ubud
A twist on a classic zipline – a sky bike! You’re literally riding a bike up in the sky over one of the most beautiful rice paddies in Ubud and Bali – Tegallalang rice terraces.
Coming with your date? Get a double bike! The views and photos you can take there are phenomenal!
For an extra charge, you can visit the rice paddies from the ground, Ubud Monkey Forest, and get to the Tegenungan Waterfall surrounded by rocks, palms, and jungle greenery.
Telaga Waja Rafting And Zipline
This is a great opportunity to discover the Telaga Waja River in Sideman from the ground with a 2.5-hour long rafting, and from above – ziplining across the river.
It is usually available only as a part of a tour so you have to book it in advance.
Kerenkali Canyonning & Zipline
A stunning location in the north Bali, where you can experience the Kerenkali canyon, Git Git waterfall and a zipline above.
This is a perfect spot for those who love water and adventures: there will be a series of jumps for up to 10 meters, natural water slides, rappel descends, and sulphurate water pools.
The day trip may be a bit challenging for complete beginners but well worth booking!
De Brokong Bali Adventure
A kid-friendly adventure park with a 300-meter zipline lets you whizz with wind in your face across the marigolds and rice fields. All the tree park trails and zipline are open to all ages and fitness levels.
This spot is also way less crowded than Ubud swings so you may feel more relaxed here and it is very affordable. A must-try family activity.

Abyss Zipline is probably the only zipline on Nusa islands – the closest islands to Bali. Located on Nusa Ceningang, within Island Cove Resort, this Zipline takes you above the cove with turquoise waters surrounded by limestone cliffs and greenery.
You won’t find anything like this anywhere else in Bali. And the price is very pleasant – around 10 USD (15 AUD). The only downside of this ride is that it is quite short.
