Some, like Tegenungan, are a short stroll from a parking lot. Others, like Sekumpul, mean several hundred steps down a slippery jungle trail with a guide leading the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That range is exactly why it&#8217;s worth picking waterfalls deliberately instead of grabbing the first name you see on Instagram. This guide to the best waterfalls in Bali covers the twelve that consistently rate highest with visitors and locals, which ones are actually worth swimming in, when to go so the water isn&#8217;t running brown with runoff, and how to string a few together without spending the whole day in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Visit Bali&#8217;s Waterfalls?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people plan a Bali trip around beaches and temples, and waterfalls end up an afterthought which is a mistake, since they&#8217;re one of the few things on the island that don&#8217;t force a choice between nature and convenience. Some need nothing more than sneakers and twenty minutes. Others test your legs properly and reward you with a corner of jungle that barely sees anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the hiking, the swimming, and the fact that half these spots look completely different depending on the light, waterfalls round out an itinerary that would otherwise be all beach clubs and rice-terrace photos. They show up on most lists of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abordia.com\/blog\/top-attractions-in-bali\/\">Best Attractions in Bali<\/a> for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12 Best Waterfalls in Bali<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices below are in Indonesian Rupiah almost every waterfall on this list is cash-only, with no ATM nearby, so bring small notes. At the time of writing, AUD 1 is worth roughly IDR 12,700, so a typical IDR 50,000 entry fee works out to about AUD 4. Fees are set by local villages and shift from year to year, so treat these as a ballpark rather than a guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table

Sekumpul Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sekumpul sits deep in the hills above Singaraja, about two hours from Ubud, and it&#8217;s usually ranked the most spectacular waterfall on the island several streams dropping roughly 80 metres into a green gorge that&#8217;s often wrapped in mist. Getting there means a guided trek: pay IDR 20,000 for the viewpoint only, IDR 125,000\u2013150,000 for the medium trek to Sekumpul and the nearby Hidden Waterfall, or up to IDR 250,000 for the full route that adds the Fiji Lemukih falls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three include a guide, which is genuinely useful the descent runs several hundred slick stone steps. Go before 9 am, both to beat the crowds and to climb back out in cooler air, and buy your ticket only at the official &#8220;Welcome to Sekumpul&#8221; booth; unofficial ticket sellers have shown up on this trail before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Tegenungan Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tegenungan is where most first-time visitors end up, mainly because it&#8217;s only 20\u201330 minutes from central Ubud and needs no trekking gear. A paved stairway, roughly 150 steps, leads down to a wide, powerful cascade with a real swimming pool at the base bring a change of clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entry runs IDR 20,000\u201330,000, open 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, with a separate fee if you want the glass bridge or the upper-falls view from the day club next door. By mid-morning the car park fills and the photo queue gets long. Short on time in Ubud? This is still the one to prioritize it&#8217;s simply the easiest waterfall in Bali to actually reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Tibumana Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirty to forty-five minutes east of Ubud in the village of Apuan, Tibumana gets a fraction of Tegenungan&#8217;s foot traffic despite being just as easy to reach. The name comes from the Balinese word <em>tibu<\/em>, a deep riverbed an apt description, since the plunge pool here is deep enough for a proper swim rather than a wade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path down is a mostly paved stairway, nothing technical. Entry is IDR 20,000\u201325,000, cash only, with a small locker fee if you&#8217;d rather not carry your phone into the water. Go on a weekday morning, and there&#8217;s a real chance you&#8217;ll have the pool mostly to yourself, which is getting rarer at Bali&#8217;s more photographed spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Tukad Cepung Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tukad Cepung looks almost staged in photos a waterfall falling through a narrow, cave-like canyon, with sunbeams cutting down through a gap in the rock above. It isn&#8217;t staged, but the light is time-sensitive: the sun only lines up with that opening roughly between 8 am and 11 am, so plan your visit around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk down takes about 20 minutes on steep stone steps, then a shallow wade through the river to reach the cave pack sandals you don&#8217;t mind getting wet, since the riverbed is rocky and uneven. It&#8217;s too shallow for swimming, but still one of the more photogenic stops in Bangli. Entry is IDR 15,000\u201330,000, cash only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Kanto Lampo Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kanto Lampo is built for photos rather than size only about 15 metres tall, but the water spreads wide across a stack of dark, tiered rock, and wading into the stream in front of it makes for one of the more distinctive shots on this list. The walk down is short, five to ten minutes on stairs, though the rocks in the river get slippery and the water can reach waist height in spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entry is IDR 20,000\u201325,000, open 6:30 am\u20135:30 pm. It&#8217;s about 20 minutes from Ubud and pairs naturally with a Tibumana stop on the same loop. Arrive before 9 am if you want your photo without a line of other people waiting for the same one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Banyumala Twin Waterfalls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up near Wanagiri and Lake Buyan, Banyumala trades the crowds of the Ubud-area falls for actual quiet two cascades falling side by side into a pool deep enough to swim in, chest-height in most spots. The 15-minute trail down is part dirt, part stairs, and turns slippery after rain, so decent shoes help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entry runs IDR 30,000\u201350,000 depending on season, plus a small parking fee. The water stays cold year-round, being spring-fed, which is either a selling point or a deterrent depending on your tolerance. Go around sunrise if you can several recent visitors report having the whole pool before 8 am, which almost never happens at Bali&#8217;s better-known swimming spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Aling-Aling Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aling-Aling sits inside Sambangan, sometimes called Bali&#8217;s &#8220;village of waterfalls&#8221; for the seven or eight scattered through the area. The main Aling-Aling cascade is a broad, 35-metre twin fall too powerful to jump from, though you can swim in the pool underneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The adventure part happens at three smaller waterfalls nearby, Kroya, Kembar, and Pucuk, where a mandatory guide leads groups through cliff jumps of up to 15 metres and a natural rock slide. Viewing the falls without the activities costs around IDR 10,000\u201320,000; jumping and sliding adds a guide fee per person, plus a life jacket. Budget at least an hour, longer if you&#8217;re doing the full circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Gitgit Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gitgit is one of the older names on Bali&#8217;s waterfall circuit, and it&#8217;s still worth the stop a roughly 35\u201340 metre cascade split into two streams, which is why locals call it Air Terjun Kembar, or &#8220;twin waterfall.&#8221; The walk down is a paved forest path, 10\u201315 minutes each way, and doesn&#8217;t require a guide despite what you might hear in the car park; some locals ask for IDR 100,000+ to &#8220;guide&#8221; visitors down a path with no turns. The real entrance fee is IDR 20,000\u201325,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a small shrine near the pool, and a local legend that couples who swim together at Gitgit will break up soon after take that as you will. It&#8217;s an easy add-on if you&#8217;re already heading toward Lovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Nungnung Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nungnung rewards anyone willing to do the stairs and there are a lot of them: 509 concrete steps down through rice fields and forest, about 20 minutes on the way down and closer to 45 minutes climbing back out. The payoff is a powerful, high-volume waterfall with a real pool at the base, though swimming directly under the falls isn&#8217;t a good idea given the current there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entry is IDR 10,000\u201320,000 plus a small parking fee, and the ticket booth technically only operates 9 am to 4 pm. It&#8217;s quieter than Tegenungan or Kanto Lampo for the simple reason that the climb puts most people off if your legs are up for it, this is one of the better bets for having a Bali waterfall mostly to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Leke Leke Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leke Leke&#8217;s name comes from an old Balinese phrase that roughly translates to &#8220;buffalo drinking puddle&#8221; a nod to what the spot was used for before it became a photo stop. The waterfall itself is narrow and tall, framed by dense jungle, and the 15\u201320 minute walk down is shaded and manageable for most fitness levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entry is IDR 50,000, on the higher end of this list, which goes toward trail upkeep. Swimming here means shallow wading rather than a real dip. It&#8217;s in Tabanan, roughly an hour to ninety minutes from Ubud, and works well paired with a day heading toward Bedugul or the Jatiluwih rice terraces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Munduk Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Munduk isn&#8217;t one waterfall but four, linked by a single trekking trail through the cool, coffee-growing highlands of North Bali: Golden Valley, Munduk Waterfall (also called Red Coral), Labuhan Kebo, and Melanting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each has its own small entry fee, roughly IDR 10,000 to 45,000, paid separately at each gate. Melanting is the toughest to reach, with around 500 steep steps, but it&#8217;s also the most powerful of the four. Labuhan Kebo has the best swimming. Doing all four back to back takes five to six hours round trip, so most people pick two usually Munduk and Labuhan Kebo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The village sits at a higher elevation than the rest of Bali, so pack a light layer; mornings up here are genuinely cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banyu Wana Amertha is Wanagiri&#8217;s answer to Munduk&#8217;s multi-waterfall trail \u2014 one ticket, one trailhead, four separate cascades. The walk between them is gentler than most North Bali hikes, 15\u201320 minutes on a mostly graded path, with an option to skip the walking and pay for a scooter shuttle instead. The largest of the four, nicknamed the Spray Waterfall locally, has a wide, shallow pool that&#8217;s genuinely good for swimming, chest-deep in most spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entry runs IDR 30,000\u201350,000 for access to all four, plus a small parking fee. Still quieter than Banyumala despite being a short drive away worth the detour if that first spot feels crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Waterfalls Near Ubud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based in Ubud with only half a day? Skip North Bali and loop between Tegenungan, Tibumana, Kanto Lampo, and Tukad Cepung all four sit within a 45-minute radius of town, and a private driver can usually manage three of them plus lunch in under six hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tegenungan and Kanto Lampo get busy by mid-morning; Tibumana tends to stay quiet longer. None of these need a guide or real trekking gear, which makes this loop the simplest way to fit Bali waterfalls near Ubud into a trip without eating into beach time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Waterfalls in North Bali<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Bali is where the serious trekking lives Sekumpul, Aling-Aling, Banyumala, Gitgit, Munduk&#8217;s four falls, and Banyu Wana Amertha are all clustered in the hills above Singaraja and around Bedugul, roughly two to three hours from south Bali depending on traffic. Because the drive is long, it rarely makes sense to visit just one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people base themselves in Munduk or Lovina for a night or two and work through two or three waterfalls a day. Pair the trip with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abordia.com\/blog\/top-places-to-visit-in-bali\/\">Top Places to Visit in Bali<\/a> further north, such as Lake Buyan or the Ulun Danu Beratan temple, and a waterfall detour turns into a proper two-day trip instead of a rushed there-and-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Bali Waterfalls Can You Swim In?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every waterfall on this list allows swimming, and a couple that technically do aren&#8217;t worth it. Tegenungan, Tibumana, Banyumala, and Banyu Wana Amertha all have genuinely deep pools Tibumana and Banyumala especially, since both sit in natural basins rather than shallow riverbeds. Kanto Lampo and Gitgit are wading spots more than swimming spots. Tukad Cepung and Leke Leke are both too shallow for a real swim. Aling-Aling is the outlier: swimming is allowed at the main falls, though the real draw is the guided cliff jumping next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever spot you pick, skip it after heavy rain. Runoff turns the water brown and can hide submerged rocks, and currents pick up fast at the base of taller falls. If saltwater is more your thing, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abordia.com\/blog\/best-beaches-in-bali\/\">Best Beaches in Bali<\/a> are a safer bet than any waterfall pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Time to Visit Bali Waterfalls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bali&#8217;s dry season, roughly April through October, is the safer window trails are less slippery, and the flash-flood risk at trek-heavy spots like Sekumpul and Aling-Aling drops considerably. Wet season, November through March, brings heavier water flow and dramatic photos, but also brown runoff after storms and the occasional trail closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time of day matters as much as season. Most waterfalls on this list get noticeably busier after 10 am, and a few Tukad Cepung especially depend on specific morning light for the effect they&#8217;re known for. Aim to arrive close to opening time at any of the popular stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Plan a Bali Waterfall Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bali doesn&#8217;t have public transport to most of these waterfalls, so plan around either a rented scooter (only if you&#8217;re already comfortable riding one) or a private driver, which is what most visitors end up choosing once they see the mountain roads involved. A driver for a full day, fuel and waiting time included, typically runs somewhere around IDR 600,000\u2013800,000, split between however many people are in the car. Grab and Gojek work fine for the Ubud-area waterfalls but often can&#8217;t reach the more remote North Bali trailheads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re combining waterfalls with other stops, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abordia.com\/blog\/famous-temples-in-bali\/\">Most Famous Temples in Bali<\/a> Besakih and Ulun Danu Beratan both sit reasonably close to the North Bali waterfall cluster make for a fuller day than waterfalls alone. And if you&#8217;re still sorting the flight side of the trip, it&#8217;s worth locking in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abordia.com\/flight\/cheap-flight-tickets-from-melbourne-to-denpasar-bali\">cheap flights from Melbourne to Denpasar<\/a> early, since fares climb fast in Bali&#8217;s peak months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential Waterfall Safety Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wear shoes with real grip, not flip-flops, on any steep stone stairway Sekumpul, Nungnung, and Melanting all have long descents that get slick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip swimming directly beneath tall, powerful falls like Nungnung or the main Aling-Aling cascade; the current and falling debris right at the base are the main sources of injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the water colour before getting in. Brown or murky water after rain usually means high runoff and hidden hazards, not just bad photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry small cash. Almost every entrance is cash-only, and there&#8217;s rarely an ATM nearby.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where a guide is mandatory, use the one at the official booth rather than someone approaching you in the car park with a cheaper unofficial rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790242214973\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What are the most popular waterfalls in Bali?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Tegenungan, Sekumpul, Kanto Lampo, and Tukad Cepung come up most often, mainly because they&#8217;re well documented and relatively easy to reach. Sekumpul consistently rates as the most impressive of the group, though it also takes the most effort.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790242225354\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Which waterfalls are closest to Ubud?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Tegenungan, Tibumana, Kanto Lampo, and Tukad Cepung are all within 30\u201345 minutes of central Ubud, making them realistic for a half-day trip.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790242265438\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can you swim in Bali&#8217;s waterfalls?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, at several of them.
