The 24 Best Things to Do in Bali

"Tucked deep in the lush North Bali highlands are the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, a mighty pair of 11-story-tall falls that cascade into a natural pool. The far-out location—at least two hours from the main drags of Ubud and Seminyak—and the steep hike keep the crowds delightfully low. The waterfalls are the main draw. Take a cool, refreshing dip into the wide, shallow natural pools below them—depending on the season and the time of day, you might even have them to yourself. Once you arrive at the main car park, you’ll need to descend bamboo- and steel-railed steps for about 15 minutes to reach the main site. A walking stick will certainly come in handy when you're navigating the steep, slippery, and uneven terrain. Pace yourself and wear sturdy footwear. This spot is perfect for anyone in search of Bali’s raw natural beauty—sans the typical tourist pack. Come early to maximize your time." - Travis Levius

Banyumala Twin Waterfalls – Landmark Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"What’s the vibe here? Tucked deep in the lush North Bali highlands are the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, a mighty pair of 11-story-tall falls that cascade into a natural pool. The far-out location—at least two hours from the main drags of Ubud and Seminyak—and the steep hike keep the crowds delightfully low. Any standout features? The waterfalls are the main draw. Take a cool, refreshing dip into the wide, shallow natural pools below them—depending on the season and the time of day, you might even have them to yourself. Was it easy to get around? Once you arrive at the main car park, you’ll need to descend bamboo- and steel-railed steps for about 15 minutes to reach the main site. A walking stick will certainly come in handy when you're navigating the steep, slippery, and uneven terrain. Pace yourself and wear sturdy footwear. What—and who—is this best for? This spot is perfect for anyone in search of Bali’s raw natural beauty—sans the typical tourist pack. Come early to maximize your time." - Travis Levius

One of the best waterfalls I experienced while in Bali. It’s absolutely worth the journey if you have the time. The lush greenery surrounding the falls are breathtaking, and the cascading water creates a serene, picture-perfect scene. I’d recommend visiting in the morning before the crowds build up — it’s a peaceful spot early on. The swimming area at the base of the falls is popular, so bring your swimmers and enjoy a dip in the cool natural pool. There are several great photo spots along the path and near the bridge that perfectly frame the twin streams. The hike down is manageable but can get slippery, so good footwear is a must. Easily one of the most photogenic and memorable spots in Bali.

🌿 Banyumala Waterfall – Hidden Gem in Nature 🌿 Absolutely stunning waterfall! The water cascades down like rain, creating a magical and soothing atmosphere. It's not very crowded, which makes it a peaceful and refreshing experience. Getting there involves a bit of trekking – you need to go down a steep path, so make sure you're physically fit. It’s totally worth it, but caution is a must. 💧 Be prepared – it can rain heavily at any time, so carrying an umbrella or raincoat is highly recommended. The area can become slippery, and the water level may rise suddenly, so always take precautions. There’s only one small changing room at the bottom and a single shed for shelter, so plan accordingly. If you're looking for raw natural beauty and a little adventure, Banyumala is a must-visit. Just be safe and respect nature's power. 🌧️🌿✨

Beautiful waterfall probably my favorite one i saw in Bali, very gorgeous spot! And the people working here are very nice and so helpful! I lost my drone in the trees by accident and two of the workers hiked out with me and walked down the side of a cliff to get it back for me & they were able to find it! So awesome of them and so helpful! I gave them a tip of whatever money i had on me but they deserved even more!! Thank you so much for your help🩵🩵

Stunning waterfall, totally worth the visit. Completely surrounded by greenery and impressive scenery. We got there at 9.30am and there were a few people already but it was totally okay, no big groups yet. I recommend getting there between 8 and 9 to avoid crowds and enjoy the morning light. The waterfall is nice to swim in and you can walk around a bit to other small waterfalls nearby. The road down is a bit bumpy for 5 mins, but totally manageable. Best waterfall I’ve been to in Bali !

From the parking area, expect a 15–20-minute downhill trek along a concrete and dirt trail, sometimes slippery and steep, especially during rainy months. The trail ends with uneven, root‑and‑rock stairs; wear sturdy shoes and proceed carefully . Walking sticks may be available at the entrance, and you can optionally ride a motorbike back uphill for a small fee.

Banyumala Waterfalls is a beautiful and serene spot, perfect for nature lovers. The twin waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery create a picturesque setting, and the clear pool at the bottom is great for a refreshing dip. However, the road leading to the falls is rough and poorly maintained, making the journey quite challenging. Additionally, there are no proper facilities nearby, and some locals overcharge for parking and entrance fees. Despite these drawbacks, the waterfall itself is stunning and worth a visit if you’re prepared for the difficult access.
