I haven’t visited this waterfall yet, but heard it is a hidden and refreshing waterfall to visit in Bali. There is a cliff area where a waterfall crashes powerfully into a natural pool. As the waterfall is hidden, the best way to reach this place is to ask the local villagers for directions.
Visit Bali’s most beautiful waterfall: Sekumpul Waterfall
If you are adventurous and love a good hike, you should visit the Sekumpul Waterfall in Bali. This place exists of seven waterfalls, with the tallest being more than 50 meters high. It will take you around 45 minutes to hike down. Along the way you have to take care of many slippery steps and sometimes cross a small river. The Sekumpul waterfall in Bali, is in my opinion, the most beautiful waterfall of Bali. You will definitely enjoy the amazing view.
Visit the lesser known twin beauty waterfall – Banyumala Twin Waterfall

Slide down a waterfall at Aling-Aling Waterfall
The Aling-Aling Waterfall is a must visit of Bali! You can find seven waterfalls at Aling-Aling Waterfall Bali, but most fun is that you can slide down a natural water slide. You can get a life vest and slide down with (or without) the waterfall into a crystal-clear plunge pool that is great for swimming. There are also several smaller waterfalls that are suitable for jumping. Exciting! The 35-meter-tall Aling-Aling Waterfall splits at the top, and separates into two streams that fall at different speeds. High cliffs and green beauty surround the waterfall. Worth a visit!
A waterfall pool that you can lounge in: Tegenungan Waterfall
Closely located to Ubud, the Tegenungan is one of the most well-known waterfalls of Bali. It is known for its lush green surroundings and heavy water flow. Down the plunge pool, you can go bathing and refresh yourself. The best time to visit the Tegenungan waterfall is in the early morning, before the crowd will arrive. I was there around 09;00 AM and it was still rather quiet. The entrance fee is IDR 15,000.
Visit the true hidden waterfall of Bali: Kuning Waterfall
The Kuning Waterfall is located at a hidden location in the region of Bangli. After hiking for about 20 minutes, I was the only visitor down there at the jungle, in front of the 25 meters tall waterfall. The Kuning Waterfall drops itself in clean and fresh water, ideal for a swim. Around the waterfall, you can find plenty of large rocks where you can sunbath. This place is definitely worth a visit!

I went to Bali last year and will definitely make a trip back, especially now that I have a great list of waterfalls to visit. I am a huge fan of waterfalls 🙂 The Tukad Cepung Waterfall is the one I really want to explore. Hope I can handle the hike. It sounds a little challenging.

Nice to hear you are planning to go back to Bali. There’s so much too explore on the island! The hike to the Tukad Cepung Waterfall indeed includes some clambering over and under rocks and is a bit challenging, but I am sure you will manage it! Enjoy!

Bali is at the top of my travel wishlist. And now that I’ve seen these waterfalls, particularly the Jembong Waterfall, I’m more determined than ever to get there. I love the idea of wandering through the jungle and coming upon one of these sights. Plus, there is no better way to cool off after all that hiking than taking a swim at the foot of one of those beauties! Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been twice to Bali, and never seen any of these! You’re so right about Sekumpal; it’s absolutely stunning. I never knew Bali had so many waterfalls on the island. If I return for a third time, I’ll be sure to stop by and visit a few!
