SEKUMPUL WATERFALL OFFICIAL (POST 1)

The most impressive waterfall I’ve seen in Bali, and maybe even ever. Be warned it’s a trek to get there— we rode in on a motorbike and the journey to the waterfall is steep, very narrow roads with an unforgiving cliff on the water side and rain water drainage on the other. Once you get to the top there is a cafe with nice views you can take a photo at. If you decide to go down to the waterfall be careful and know it’s a steep trek. Not terrible but a little daunting. No where as bad as Klekling at Nusa Penida, but you’ll probably be winded. It’s wet down there (naturally, it’s a rain forest) so it’s best to bring an extra towel and clean/dry clothes. Otherwise you’ll be standing there and shaking. Nice place for IG photos. I would definitely hire a guide, it’s inexpensive and they’ll take you to the best spots for photos, even hold your belongings. Be careful you’ll have to wade through water that goes up past your thighs and the current can be a little strong, especially after raining. Be careful of where you walk/stand many of the rocks are extremely slippery and algae covered. Again, that’s why it’s best to have a guide.

We visited Sekumpul last week — 2 adults and our 2 girls — and it was such an amazing experience! We paid around 200k per person, which included a guide and a motorbike ride. The ride was super fun, especially for the kids, and made the trip much easier. Our two guides were so friendly and helpful — they took us to two waterfalls, explained a lot about the nature around us, and even took tons of great photos for us. Sekumpul itself was just wow — absolutely beautiful and powerful, surrounded by lush greenery. The best part? It wasn’t very crowded, so we could really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Definitely one of the highlights of our Bali trip! 🌺✨

Amazing experience and must visit on Bali! Me and my wife payed 250k ticket for single person, so total 500k and we get local guide to take us through waterfall region. Guy was giving his best to take photos of us, help us with river crossing and rock paths. Whole tour took 4 hours for us, because we went with small baby, and took us longer time for photos. Otherwise you can do it for 3 hours to not rush. They say on entrance it is 90min walk, but it is possible only if you don't stop. I think you can go without paying ticket, but you go by yourself, and if you are younger I recommend you to do it that way, bring clothes to get wet, towel, 1 liter of water is enough and you take 4-5 hours to explore waterfalls, coffee place at viewpoint and bring some slippers which are not slippery to walk, because whole area is a littlebit slippery and you must be careful.

Beautiful spot, quite a hike. Super strange vibes - absolutely need a guide. We tried to pay for a ticket to entry with no guide, but then turned around and were told the guy selling us on it all was the guide and stuck with us. Seems to be the vibe of Bali tourism overall. Worth a check still. 150k to see 2 waterfalls, and 250k to see an extra one. We did the first, so roughly $20 USD to see 2 waterfalls. More than enough for us. Coffee afterwards was great to just hang out

This was unfortunately our worst experience on Bali – and we have been to the island three times already and visited many waterfalls. The waterfalls themselves are stunning and the best what we ever seen on Bali, but the way the local guides at Sekumpul treat tourists is very unpleasant. By law, or by any official government regulation, you are not required to hire a guide to visit the waterfalls. The official entrance fee is IDR 30,000 per person. However, the local village has created its own “rule” that every tourist must take a guide – which costs around IDR 200,000 per person – and if you refuse, they will not let you continue down to the falls. This is not an official regulation, but rather a local practice designed to force visitors into paying extra. Even with a “Guest Card” (provided by nearby accommodations, which should exempt guests from this obligation), we were still denied access by the guides. They simply refused to let us pass unless we paid the inflated fee. This was extremely frustrating and left a very negative impression. We respect supporting the local community, but this practice feels dishonest and misleading to tourists. Compared to the many other waterfalls in Bali where we always had wonderful experiences, this situation at Sekumpul was disappointing and left us with the worst impression we’ve had in all our visits to the island.

❤️Sekumpul Waterfall❤️ is a must-see for anyone visiting Bali🔥💪. The view is breathtaking and memorable😱🥹. I recommend taking a drone☝️. The place is quite popular, so there's sometimes a queue to the viewpoint. The route to this point is quite long, but you can rent a scooter, which is plentiful along this route🛵. Parking is free and very spacious🚙. The attraction is payable in cash at the parking lot or just before entering the route. There are several options to choose from, which can be explored on-site. I recommend it to everyone❤️💪.

Pros: most beautiful waterfalls in Bali by far. Water is clean and thankfully, the community hasn’t polluted or loitered the area like in other locations. It is absolutely worth the visit. Con: quite the hike. The way there is through very narrow streets so it is better if you ride a scooter. No parking available for cars, we had to leave our rental car at the top of the mountain and walk around 10 minutes to reach the entrance to the waterfalls. Con: expensive, costs around 150000, to do 2 waterfalls and 250000 to do all 3. We understand the need of people in Bali and felt like it was in support of the local economy. Our guide Sura was lovely. It is quite a hike. Not suitable for people with mobility issues.

A beautiful hidden gem in Bali. The waterfall is very tall, but the flow is beautiful and the atmosphere is still very natural. It's quite far from the city center, and access is also quite difficult. A guide is required to get to the waterfall for safety. One ticket allows you to see many waterfalls.
