Visiting Bali’s Most Impressive Waterfalls
Tegenungan Waterfall
Our first stop is Tegenungan, a popular spot that’s both scenic and accessible. Surrounded by lush jungle, Tegenungan boasts a shallow bathing area—perfect for a quick dip or just soaking in the views. The admission fee is included, which simplifies things. According to reviews, this spot offers a “scenic waterfall in a lush jungle setting,” with cafes nearby for snacks or a quick coffee break.
Travelers often mention how this waterfall isn’t just a tourist trap; it’s a beautiful place to relax and connect with nature. One reviewer described it as “a great place to unwind with a scenic waterfall and some local snacks nearby.”
Tibumana Waterfall
Next, we head to Tibumana, often called Bali’s hidden gem. Located in Bangli, it’s less crowded compared to Tegenungan, and locals say it’s one of Bali’s most beautiful yet lesser-known waterfalls. You’ll get an hour here to enjoy its crystalline waters and lush surroundings.
Reviewers highlight how the local guides explain the significance of the area, adding depth to the experience. The admission fee is included again, and you’ll love the chance to swim in mountain-fresh waters surrounded by green forests.
Tukad Cepung Waterfall
The third stop is Tukad Cepung, famous for its unique setting—waterfalls cascading through a gap in the cliffs, with sun rays streaming through in the late morning. It’s a photographer’s dream, and visitors often marvel at how the sunlight filters through the falls, creating a magical atmosphere.
Expect about an hour here, with enough time to walk between cliffs and take photos. Multiple reviews praised the guide’s helpfulness, with one noting, “Rian was kind, professional, and explained the cultural significance of each stop.”
Climbing and Hiking: Nature in Motion
While each waterfall is stunning for its views and swimming opportunities, this tour also includes gentle hikes. Travelers should have moderate physical fitness—you might find some climbs or walking on uneven terrain challenging but manageable with proper footwear.
The Highlight: Mount Batur
The final major point of the tour is a visit to Mount Batur, an active volcano with a large caldera and a lake inside the larger crater. Although the itinerary doesn’t specify a trek, the visit offers a spectacular view of Bali’s volcanic landscape. It’s a fitting end to a day immersed in nature.
