Plan your jump · 5 days
Five days, two jumps
The coast and Ubud, with one move inland and two jumps that do not resemble each other.
Reviewed 1 August 2026
01 — The short answer
How to spend five days
Two nights on the coast, settle in the south, then move inland to Ubud and jump at Alas Harum. One move, one jump, and a spare day for the weather.
Why two bases
Seminyak to Ubud is about 90 minutes. Doing it as a return day trip costs three hours in a car and the jump is 15 minutes long.
Why these two
The coast is where you stay; the jump is inland. Bali's bungee runs at Ubud and Plaga, not on the beach strip.
The spare
Day five is the buffer. If either jump is stood down, that is where it moves to — which is why nothing is booked on it.
Alas Harum sets its own price and limits. We confirm both in writing before you commit to the Ubud leg.
02 — Day by day
Coast, then interior
Drive times are door to door in ordinary traffic. Bali traffic is not always ordinary; add a half hour to anything crossing Denpasar.
-
Day 1
Arrive · Seminyak
30 to 45 minutes from the airport. Nothing booked. If your flight lands in the evening, this day does not exist and the itinerary still works.
-
Day 2
Coast day
No jump today — there is none on the coast. Use the day for the beach, and travel inland tomorrow.
-
Day 3
Move · Seminyak to Ubud
About 90 minutes north. Leave after breakfast rather than after lunch — the road through Denpasar is worse in the afternoon. Rice terraces and a temple in what is left of the day.
-
Day 4
Jump · Alas Harum, Ubud
Roughly 30 minutes from central Ubud. A waterfall gorge rather than a coastline, and quieter than anything on the coast. Confirm the slot before you travel; access changes with the water level.
-
Day 5
Spare · then south
Buffer if you need it, Ubud if you do not. Allow two hours back to the airport, or stay south the night before if your flight is early.
Run it in reverse — Ubud first, coast second — if you are arriving late at night. Ubud is a better place to lose a morning to jet lag than Seminyak.
03 — Budget
What the jumping part costs
Per person, jumps only. Rooms, food and the car between bases are yours.
- Jump · Seminyak Free transfer inside the core zone
- Ask for price
- Jump · Alas Harum Quoted per date, not from a list
- On request
- Wrist camera, each Worth it once, rarely worth it twice
- Ask for price
- Ubud transfer Per car, outside the free zone
- Ask for price
- Swap to Sanur If you would rather be based on the east coast
- Ask for price
Two jumps with one camera lands near the quoted price per person. Operators set their own prices; we quote per date.
04 — The second jump
The one nobody expects to prefer
The second jump is a different experience and not because you are braver on it. You already know what the drop does, so you spend it looking at where you are instead of at your own feet.Alas Harum is the one that benefits from that. It sits above the Tegalalang terraces, and the view on the way down is green rather than coastline. People who book the coast twice usually say afterwards they should have gone inland once.
- Ubud to site
- About 30 min
- Coast to Ubud
- About 90 min
- Buffer
- Day five
Five days, honestly
- One move, not two
- Coast then Ubud. Adding a third base in five days means every second morning is spent packing and every second afternoon is spent in a car.
- Nusa Penida still does not fit
- A day out from Sanur with a 45-minute crossing each way. It works on a seven-day trip and it eats the buffer on this one.
- Book the second jump loosely
- Hold day four but confirm it after the first jump has happened. Some people want the second one immediately and some do not want it at all.
- Footage once
- Buy the camera on the jump you care about. Two sets of near-identical footage is the most common thing people regret paying for.
- Early flight home
- Move back south on the evening of day four rather than driving two hours at dawn on day five.
- Wet season
- November to April, put both jumps in the morning and keep day five completely clear. The interior gets its rain earlier in the day than the coast.
Do I have to jump twice?
No, and about half of the people who book this route do not. The five days are worth it for Ubud whether or not the second jump happens.
Can I do Sanur instead of Seminyak?
Yes, and Sanur is marginally closer to Ubud. Sanur is also the right base if you are adding Nusa Penida later.
Is the Ubud jump harder?
Not to jump. It is harder to reach, quieter, and more weather dependent, and the slot is confirmed per date rather than sold from a list.
What if the first jump is stood down?
It moves to day three morning before you travel, or to day five. That is what the empty day is for, and it is the reason this route does not put a jump on the last day.
Where should we stay in Ubud?
Anywhere within about 20 minutes of the centre. We do not book rooms and do not take a cut from anyone who does, so treat that as advice rather than a recommendation.
Hold two slots
Send your dates and we will hold the coast jump and pencil the Ubud one. Only the first needs a deposit.
