Bali Waterfalls Guide: 37 Best Waterfalls In Bali Indonesia
Thanks to Bali’s tropical climate and mountains, there are dozens of natural waterfalls to see on the island, and most of the best Bali waterfalls are easy to reach from popular areas like Ubud.
Some of these are well known tourist spots, while others are hidden hikes with no people. North Bali has many of the best waterfall hikes on the island, but there are some nice ones in the Ubud area too. Either way, all of them are worth seeing!
Here’s my complete Bali waterfalls map and guide, with a list of 37 of the very best waterfalls in Bali!
Where To Stay
Bali Waterfalls Map
You can use this Bali waterfalls map to plan your trip. Keep in mind some of the locations on this map may be approximate.
For more information on how to get to each of the Bali waterfalls on this map, please check out my individual travel guides for each location.
North Bali Waterfalls
1. Sekumpul Waterfall
If you’re looking for the biggest and best waterfall in Bali, this is probably it! To top it off, you get to see some of the most scenic jungles and rice terraces on the island.
Sekumpul Waterfall is an 80 meter tall (260 foot) twin waterfall located in a jungle ravine in north Bali, near Singaraja. You have to see it!
This place is no longer a secret, but since it’s in the far northern part of the island and pretty far from town, the crowds are still not too bad.

2. Fiji Waterfall
If you’re visiting Sekumpul Waterfall, you can easily knock out this one too since they’re only a 10 minute walk apart!
Fiji Waterfall is one of the only triple waterfalls in Bali, and you can get up close to it now thanks to a new foot bridge.

3. Tirta Buana Waterfall
This is a nice multi-layered cascade about 30 minutes’ drive from Sekumpul, so it’s a good place to visit in the same trip.
Tirta Buana Waterfall also has a big natural pool with a soft current, so it’s great for swimming, although the water can be a bit chilly on a cloudy day.
The dirt trail down to the falls is short but steep, and takes about 15 minutes each way. The locals wanted to charge me 100k (~$7) for the entrance fee, but we were able to talk them down to 50k.
4. Banyumala Waterfall
Banyumala is another twin waterfall like Sekumpul, but it’s a bit smaller and usually much less crowded. I was all alone at this waterfall last time I visited!
Read More: Banyumala Waterfall
5. GitGit Waterfall
This is easily one of the best waterfalls in Bali. It’s a new favorite in north Bali. The hike is easy and it takes you to a really big twin waterfall!
Read More: GitGit Waterfall
6. Colek Pamor Waterfall
This is a nice 15-meter waterfall that comes from the same stream as GitGit, but it’s more secret.
Some Bali canyoning tours include this waterfall, but aside from that, it’s still mostly unknown to tourists — even though it’s only a few minutes from GitGit!
Read More: Colek Pamor Waterfall
7. Campuhan Waterfall
This is another twin waterfall located near GitGit. It may not be as big, but it’s still pretty nice. You can easily visit both in the same trip.
8. Aling Aling Waterfall
There’s a total of 4 waterfalls at Aling Aling. The main one is a giant with a height of about 35 meters (115 feet).
The pictures don’t do it justice. This is a big, tall waterfall and it puts out a ton of mist! It’s definitely one of the best waterfalls in Bali.

9. Kroya Waterfall
This is the 2nd waterfall at Aling Aling. It has a plank for jumping (5 meter jump), or you can go around to the top of the waterfall and slide down it. Great fun!
Read More: Aling Aling Waterfalls
10. Kembar Waterfall
This is the 3rd waterfall at Aling Aling. It’s a big twin waterfall with a 10-15 meter cliff jump. Do if you dare! It’s higher than it looks in the photos.
Be extra careful with this one, because it’s a long drop and you want to land where the water is plenty deep. Your guide can point this out for you.
Read More: Aling Aling Waterfalls
11. Pucak Waterfall
This is the last of the four waterfalls at Aling Aling, and it’s the most quiet. There’s no jumping at this one, but you can swim or take pictures.
Read More: Aling Aling Waterfalls
12. Jembong Waterfall
This is another nice cascade waterfall in north Bali, just 30 minutes from Lovina.
There’s a campground and a bunch of small pools for swimming, and the main waterfall at Jembong is a multi layered cascade that looks kind of like the one at Kanto Lampo.
13. Munduk Waterfall
There are actually a bunch of waterfalls in the Munduk area (Munduk is the name of a village in north Bali), but this one with a single spout is one of the more popular ones in the area.
Read More: Munduk Waterfall
14. Golden Valley Waterfall
This is another nice waterfall in the Munduk area. There’s even a little food shack where you can sit and eat with a view of the waterfall.
Read More: Golden Valley Waterfall
15. Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall
This spot has no less than 4 fantastic falls just a short distance apart, and the main one is one of the biggest and best waterfalls in Bali!
It’s a huge cascade with a leafy background and a wide, shallow pool at the bottom for swimming.
Read More: Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall
16. Bhuana Sari Waterfall
This is another popular waterfall at the Banyu Wana Amertha trail, just a few minutes’ walk apart.
It has dozens of tiny waterfalls cascading down the rocks in a way that almost looks artificial!
Bhuana Sari is quickly becoming one of the most popular Bali waterfalls in the Munduk/Bedugul area.
Read More: Bhuana Sari Waterfall
17. Banyuatis Waterfall
This waterfall near Munduk looks pretty similar to Banyumala, but it’s way less famous. We were alone!
Banyuatis Waterfall has a nice pool to swim in, and it’s free to enter. It’s a 20 minute hike on a small, narrow concrete scooter path that starts near an SMK school (GPS here).
Follow the little concrete path straight through the terraces until you reach the forest, and then go down the switchbacks on the right. The hike is a little steep, but never too difficult.
18. Santhipala Waterfall
This is a nice triple waterfall in Munduk at the end of a 20 minute hike.
The path starts by a little ticket station and concrete bridge (GPS here), and it’s mostly dirt or pavement until you’re near the waterfall, then you have to cross a small bridge over the stream.
After the bridge, find the rocky path through the foliage and continue on it until you reach the waterfall. Hidden gem!
19. Umejero Waterfall
This is another hidden gem in Munduk, with orange rock walls and a natural pool you can swim in.
The hike to Umejero Waterfall starts from a small parking area near someone’s house (GPS here). Walk to the edge of the house and you’ll find a smooth concrete scooter path going down. Follow this until you reach a concrete bridge at the bottom, then turn left and go past the little ticket station.
The last part of the hike is a flat dirt path in the jungle and it follows the stream for a few minutes. The total hiking time is about 20 minutes one way. Enjoy!
East Bali Waterfalls
20. Tukad Cepung Waterfall
This is a unique looking waterfall hidden at the end of a cave-like ravine.
Tukad Cepung used to be a hidden waterfall, but nowadays it can get extremely crowded, and you may have to wait your turn to take any decent photos.
Read More: Tukad Cepung Waterfall
21. Goa Raja Waterfall
This is a recently discovered hidden gem just a short distance from Tukad Cepung.
It’s a short hike and you’re rewarded with a big cave, a waterfall, and a natural pool for swimming!
Read More: Goa Raja Waterfall
Central Bali Waterfalls
22. Kanto Lampo Waterfall
Kanto Lampo is a cascade of waterfalls running over the rocks into a natural pool below. As an added bonus, you get to see some creepy carvings in the rock walls nearby.
This is definitely one of the best waterfalls in Bali Indonesia, but you may have to queue for photos since it’s very popular!
Read More: Kanto Lampo Waterfall
23. Nungnung Waterfall
Nungnung is one of the biggest and most powerful waterfalls in Bali. It’s a huge waterfall in the jungle, with a ton of mist flying in all directions. This one is a bit harder to reach than some of the others, but that means less crowds!
Read More: Nungnung Waterfall
24. Tegenungan Waterfall
Tegenungan is probably the most famous waterfall in Bali, and it’s located super close to Ubud. I wouldn’t recommend this one if you’re looking for a hidden waterfall with no crowds, but it’s still worth a visit just for the scenic views!
Read More: Tegenungan Waterfall
25. Layana Waterfall
This is a nice 2 step waterfall in Ubud that you can see without any hiking or entrance fee. It’s actually sitting right next to a warung where you can buy food or drinks (optional) while hanging out by the falls.
Read More: Layana Waterfall
26. Uma Anyar Waterfall
This is a nice multi-layered waterfall that was just opened to the public in 2020.
We were apparently two of the first visitors when we accidentally discovered it on our way to some other falls.
The Uma Anyar Waterfall has a nice upper waterfall where you can take a natural shower, plus a lower cascade on the river where you can swim and relax when the water is calm (but I wouldn’t recommend that in the rainy season).
It has an easily accessible path and it’s located near Ubud, so it’s a great one to visit (GPS here)!
27. Sumampan Waterfall
This is another barely known waterfall near Ubud, where you can escape the crowds.
The Sumampan Waterfall flows directly into the river, and it’s surrounded by jungle vines and contemporary Balinese rock carvings that look ancient.
From the parking area, it’s easy to reach with a short walk through a palm forest, and then down one steep flight of stairs.
28. Pengempu Waterfall
This is a small waterfall hiding in a sort of semi-cave, just a short 5 minute walk from the parking area, which is near Ubud. These may not be the most spectacular falls, but the hike is super easy, no one’s around, and it’s completely free!
29. Suwat Waterfall
This waterfall is an up-and-coming hidden gem near Gianyar and Ubud. It’s good for swimming and there’s even a neat little bamboo raft you can paddle around on.
The hike to Suwat Waterfall is short and easy, and takes you through a small bamboo forest and other tropical foliage along the way.
Read More: Suwat Waterfall
30. Goa Giri Campuhan Waterfall
The Bangli area has lots of great waterfalls and it’s not far from Ubud. Start with Goa Giri Campuhan waterfall, in the north. This one is hidden and you have to sneak through a couple of cool caves to reach it.
31. Tibumana Waterfall
Tibumana used to be a secret waterfall, but it’s exploded in the last couple years and now every Instagrammer comes here. It’s still worth a visit!
The road to this one winds through some green rice fields and palm trees, so it’s a great scenic drive, and there are a couple of smaller waterfalls you can also see nearby.
Read More: Tibumana Waterfall
32. Pengibul Waterfall
Just 500 meters from the entrance to Tibumana is a separate path that leads to Pengibul Waterfall.
Also called the Taman Sari Waterfall, it’s a small 2-step cascade with no crowds, and you can reach it in 5-10 minutes of walking, so it’s definitely worth checking out while you’re at Tibumana!
Read More: Pengibul Waterfall
33. Goa Rang Reng Waterfall
Watch out for slippery rocks! Goa Rang Reng has 3 different waterfalls, but my favorite is the first one, a big sloped cascade that looks like a natural Slip N Slide.
34. Kuning Waterfall
This is another waterfall just a 30 minute drive from Tibumana. The lush jungle scenery you hike through to reach this waterfall is one of the best parts! The hike is a bit steep, but only takes about 15-20 minutes.
35. Leke Leke Waterfall
This is a tall waterfall near Bedugul. It was a secret until recently, but it’s starting to get more popular.
Read More: Leke Leke Waterfall
36. Campuhan Antapan Waterfall
This is a unique looking waterfall very close to Leke Leke. It’s still a secret, and very easy to reach from the road!
Read More: Campuhan Antapan Waterfall
Nusa Penida Waterfalls
37. Peguyangan Waterfall
If you like sketchy, remote hikes with steep paths to get your adrenaline going, this one is for you.
Peguyangan is a small waterfall and pool at the bottom of some cliffs on Nusa Penida island, and you reach it by climbing down hundreds of steps on a bright blue stairway.
It’s not for the faint of heart, but the ocean and cliff views here are incredible.

Bali Private Driver & Motorbike Rental
If you want to explore Bali in the comfort and safety of a private car with a driver, my top recommendation would be Klook.
Their price is 450k IDR ($30 USD) for a full day of driving and sightseeing in Bali (up to 10 hours) for 1-5 passengers. That's the total price for the whole car + driver + petrol! It's a steal.
If you'd rather travel by motorbike, they have that too. Their scooter rentals start at 85k IDR (~$6) and include a helmet, rain coat, and pickup in the south Bali area.
We've used Klook for lots of tours and activities around the world, and they're great! Highly recommended.
