40 reviewed
From Tegenungan near Ubud to the long hike down to Sekumpul in the north, each of Bali’s waterfalls asks for a different amount of legwork. Here is what a day at each looks like: the drive, the steps down, the swim at the bottom, with prices and which ones pair well with a rice-terrace stop.

“Nice way to easily get around and see 4 waterfalls in 1 day. I never felt rushed and the driver let me spend as much time at each of the waterfalls as I wanted, and offered to take pictures for me too. However, we did not go to Tegenungan, and went to Ulupetanu instead, which was still pretty but just an fyi the title of this tour is misleading.”
