Bali Waterfalls

A day chasing the highlands' best waterfalls — the tiered curtains of Banyumala, a thundering jungle fall and a hidden cave cascade, with safe swims, fewer crowds and a guide who knows the trails.

Overview

The island's best falls, swims included.

North Bali's highlands hide some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Southeast Asia, and a private day lets us reach the good ones early and in the right order. We pick two or three based on the season and the water level — always with a safe pool to swim in.

Expect short jungle walks, cool mountain air and the kind of swims you remember. Your guide carries water, knows which steps are slippery and which pools are safe, and times the day so you're not sharing your photos with a hundred other people.

Good to ask

Bali Waterfalls — your questions

Can I swim at all of them?
Most have a safe pool to swim in — your guide will point out where it's safe and where currents are strong.
Is it very strenuous?
Moderate — there are steps and short trails. We go at your pace and you can skip the third fall if you'd rather.
Which waterfalls will we see?
We choose on the day based on water level and crowds — usually two or three from the Munduk and Gitgit area.
Is it suitable for kids?
Older kids who are confident on steps do well; tell us their ages and we'll plan gentler falls.
How do we pay?
No prepayment — pay on the day, free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
