Alas Harum Bali in Tegallalang Ubud

Alas Harum turns the edge of Tegallalang’s rice terraces into an adventure park, with a swing that sends you up to 28 meters above the fields. The view is the real draw: you can see the terraces from several photo spots, then choose whether to admire them from the ground or from a ride.

I like the mix of rice-field scenery and hands-on activities, and the coffee tour gives you something to do even if you skip the rides. I also like that you can choose one activity or combine several instead of paying for every thrill on offer.

The catch is that this is a popular, highly managed attraction, not a quiet walk through working farmland. Queues, extra charges for photos and outfit rentals, and a lot of steps can shape your visit as much as the view does.

Key points

• The swing reaches up to 28 meters above the ground, with the Tegallalang rice fields as its backdrop.
• Packages vary widely: entry with a coffee tour starts at US$3.90, while multi-activity options cost more.
• Photos and outfits are extra. Bring your own camera or phone if you do not want to pay for professional pictures.
• Go early for a better chance of shorter queues. Some rides may not open as soon as the grounds do.
• Expect steps and uneven routes. The site is not wheelchair- or stroller-accessible.
• Cretya Ubud is not included. Alas Harum admission does not give you access to that separate facility.

Rice terraces with an adventure-park twist

1 / 9

Alas Harum sits in Tegallalang, about 20 minutes from central Ubud, and combines rice-terrace viewpoints with rides and photo installations. That mix makes it an easy fit if you want a scenic stop with a little activity, rather than a full day of hiking or a purely agricultural visit.

The terraces are the setting, but the property is arranged around attractions. You can walk between viewpoints, pose in a bird nest or on a glass-floor photo spot, and choose a ride such as the swing, flying fox or sky bike. The result is polished and photogenic, though it feels more like a purpose-built visitor attraction than a remote countryside walk.

That distinction matters when you decide what you want from the visit. If your priority is a broad view of rice fields and a few dramatic pictures, the setting delivers. If you hope to spend hours learning about village farming or wandering through extensive terraces, you may find the attraction side more prominent than the agricultural side.

Arriving, checking in and finding your bearings

The meeting point is Rice Terrace Trekking & Swing Uma Ceking, at Alas Harum Bali on Jl. Raya Tegallalang, Tegallalang, Gianyar. The site is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with last admission one hour before closing.

Once inside, check where your chosen activity is handled and what the package covers. Activity packages can include one selected ride, not unlimited access to every swing and machine. If the wording feels unclear, confirm the exact selection at the counter before you join a queue. A numbered ticket may be used for activities, so get one before waiting.

Going early can help you see the terraces before the busiest part of the day. The grounds open at 7:00 a.m., but rides may start later. One early-morning schedule reported on site had the swing available before the flying fox and sky bike, which opened at 10:00 a.m. Treat that as a possibility rather than a fixed daily timetable, and ask staff when each ride will begin.

Early arrival has a second benefit: you can walk the grounds while they are quieter, then return to an activity once it opens. By late morning, queues and photo lines may build. There is no guaranteed wait time, so avoid squeezing the visit into a tight schedule if riding is your main reason for coming.

Walking the viewpoints before choosing a ride

Take a look around before committing to a paid activity. The terraces and the park’s photo spots are part of the appeal, and a short walk helps you decide whether the view alone is enough or whether you want to add a swing or ride.

The grounds are landscaped and maintained, with several places designed for photos, including a bird nest and glass-floor spot. These features can make the visit fun for couples and families who enjoy taking pictures. They also mean you may share the best viewpoints with people waiting for their turn in front of a camera.

There are stairs to negotiate, including routes down and back up through the property. Some visitors find the climb tiring, and the site is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. Take care on steps, particularly where there is no guard rail, and consider your knees and stamina before setting off through the whole site.

The rice-field view is not equally prominent from every part of the park. The terrace area sits on one side, so do not expect a sweeping view from every attraction. I would make the terraces the first stop, especially if you arrive early, then choose rides and photo spots according to your interest and energy.

The 28-meter swing and other rides

The signature swing is the clearest reason to choose an activity package. It lifts you high above the ground, with the rice fields below and the edge of the terrace in view. A safety briefing is given before you ride, and staff are on site to assist. The height can feel dramatic, but the swing is designed as a managed attraction rather than an improvised stunt.

There are several options, including the Super Extreme Swing, Single Angel Swing, couple swing, flying fox and sky bike. Package names matter: some include one activity of your choice from a listed group, while others combine a swing with one or two additional rides. A couple package is intended for two people on the specified couple activities. Check whether the ticket is for one rider or two before buying.

The flying fox and sky bike offer a different kind of thrill. The flying fox is a short ride, not a long excursion across the countryside, and the harness may press uncomfortably for some riders. If you are sensitive to pressure around the hips or groin, consider that before choosing it. The sky bike gives you a higher, more exposed ride, so it may be less appealing if heights are not your thing.

Queue management can be uneven when the park is busy. Get the activity ticket first, then confirm where to wait and how your number is called. If you have several rides planned, allow plenty of time. Long delays have occurred, and the wait can be a poor trade if you have only a short window in Tegallalang.

What the coffee tour adds

The coffee tour is included in the entry-and-coffee package, making it a lower-cost way to see the property without committing to a ride. It covers coffee production and can include explanations about how coffee is made. Some visitors also report tasting different coffees and teas, but free tasting is not guaranteed by the package details, so do not count on it.

Keep your expectations measured. This is a brief attraction within the broader park, not necessarily an extensive farm visit. If coffee production is your main interest, ask what the tour includes before you go. If you are already visiting for the terraces, it can add a small educational stop and a break from the photo circuit.

The coffee tour is also a sensible option for anyone in your group who would rather stay on the ground while others ride. It gives you a reason to explore the grounds without buying a thrill activity. You can still encounter the steps, crowds and extra-cost photo options, so it is not a quiet or all-inclusive alternative.

How to judge the price and extra charges

Prices depend on the package. The entrance ticket with coffee tour is listed from US$3.90. A ticket with one swing, flying fox or sky bike starts at US$19.35; a swing plus a flying fox or sky bike starts at US$31.99; and the swing, flying fox and sky bike combination starts at US$44.29. A couple swing and couple sky bike package is listed from US$36.49. Prices can change, so check the final amount and inclusions when booking.

The entry-and-coffee option is the best value if you mainly want to see the grounds and terraces. The ride packages make more sense if you specifically want the swing or another activity. If you are uncertain about heights, paying for a multi-ride package may leave you with attractions you do not use.

Keep a little room in your budget for extras. Professional photography and outfit rental are separate charges, and other personal expenses, meals and drinks are not included. The park has photo spots, but a staff member may not be available to take a quick picture for free. Bring a phone or camera, and ask about photo costs before posing if you are considering the professional service.

Cretya Ubud is not included, and there may be separate charges for facilities beyond the booked package. Do not assume a ticket covers every attraction in the wider complex. The most useful question to ask before purchase is simple: which exact activities and areas does this ticket include?

Crowds, comfort and safety

Alas Harum’s most common frustrations are practical: queues, crowds, and add-on costs. These issues do not cancel out the scenery, but they can change the value of your day. Arriving near opening time gives you a better chance of a calm walk and a shorter wait, though rides may not all be running yet.

Wear comfortable shoes for the stairs and paths. The property is not stroller- or wheelchair-accessible, and the activity is not recommended for people with high blood pressure, epilepsy, heart disease, other serious medical conditions, pregnant women or persons with disabilities. Participants must be at least 7 and under 71 years old.

Staff provide a safety briefing, and insurance is provided by the operator. Follow the instructions for each activity, and do not ride if you are unsure whether it is suitable for you. If you are uneasy with heights, you can still enjoy the viewpoints and coffee tour without booking a swing.

Who will enjoy Alas Harum most?

I would recommend Alas Harum to you if you want the classic Bali swing photo, enjoy trying a zipline or sky bike, or are looking for a scenic activity close to Ubud. It also suits couples and groups with mixed interests: one person can take a ride while another walks the grounds or joins the coffee tour.

Families should check the age limit and consider the steps, wait times and height of the rides. The activity minimum age is 7, and participants must be under 71. The attractions may suit some children, but a parent should judge the child’s comfort with heights and the specific ride.

If you prefer quiet nature, long walks through working rice fields or a low-cost, no-extras outing, this may not be your best stop. The park is built around rides and photos, and some visitors find the overall experience expensive once pictures, outfit rental or other facilities are added. For a short, scenic outing with a clear activity in mind, it can be worthwhile. For a quick look at terraces alone, compare the entry-only options and avoid paying for rides you do not want.

Should you book?

Book Alas Harum if the swing, sky bike or flying fox is part of the fun for you, and you are willing to plan around queues and pay separately for photos or outfits. Choose the coffee-tour ticket if you mainly want to walk the grounds and take in the terrace views. Arrive early, confirm your exact package, and leave enough time to wait. If you want an unhurried, traditional rice-field walk, look for a quieter alternative.
