world's most epic adult swings

Hjørundfjord Swing, Norway

Hjørundfjord Swing is located at a tiny, roadless village in the north-west of Norway. This swing isn't well known, yet. Facing glaciers and views of the fjord, you can enjoy the quiet. The only way to arrive here is by boat or a hike over a mountain. Icebergs usually surround North Europe with cold-weather surrounding it, but this place is so beautiful that you will forget the cold. It's a perfect combination of serenity and mild adrenaline in the outside world.

 Swing at the End of the World, Baños, Ecuador

There is a love story behind the "Swing at the End of the World". A lonely old grandfather was living on the hill to monitor the Casa del Arbol's seismic monitoring system. He built the swing to encourage his grandchildren to visit him. The ploy worked! Those kids visited almost daily. This place is wrapped up neatly in magnificent waving hillsides of forests and waterfalls. The swing then started to gain worldwide attention; and nowadays travellers, families and strangers pass through.

Bali Swing, Bali

Bali Swing is one of the best swings in Bali. It takes 20 minutes to drive from Ubud centre. Bali Swing has many wood swings ranging from 10m to 78m above ground. But don't worry, regardless of the swing you choose, you will still be guaranteed a pretty magnificent view.  If you're not a fan of heights, don't worry. All of the spots come with a magnificent view overlooking the valley as well as the canyon and waterfall. You can consider the 'Hanging Nests', they look like exactly nest structures. Those nests scattered around the playground wedged between two enormous palm trees are an Insta icon.
