From Tukad Cepung cave waterfall to the hidden gem Leke Leke, waterfalls in Bali are in their own league.

Bali prides itself on having some of the most magnificent landscapes on earth with holly Balinese temples, stunning turquoise beaches, lush jungles, and poetic rice fields. And mother nature in Bali never fails to invoke the adventurous spirit in us by offering various thrilling activities such as jungle trekking and whitewater rafting. But don’t miss the most exciting yet romantic one: chasing the waterfalls. 

Hiding deep in lush rainforests, and falling down through rock formations and high cliffs, these 7 amazing waterfalls are Bali's hidden treasures that will promise you an adventure of a lifetime on a Bali vacation.

1. Tukad Cepung Waterfall

Different from Tegenungan, Tukad Cepung Waterfall is truly a hidden gem in Bali that still waits to be discovered. This waterfall is well hidden between rock formations and high cliffs, so the road to it is already an adventure in itself. After reaching the entrance, you will have to walk through a narrow cave and down a few hundred stairs for about 30-40 minutes to reach the waterfall. Once there, you will be disconnected from the outer world. All you can hear is the voice of nature: the water falling from above and the birds chirping.

- Entrance Fee: Adults: 15,000 IDR, Children: free
- Location: Central parkir waterfall tukad cepung, Jl. Tembuku, Tembuku, Kec. Tembuku, Kabupaten Bangli, Bali
- Opening Hours: 8 am – 6pm

2. Sekumpul Waterfall

Pouring down from an average height of 80 meters, the Sekumpul Waterfall is a cluster of 7 narrow cascades. This waterfall is hidden deep inside lush green bamboo woods. Therefore, it will require a little bit of effort to reach the waterfall. You have to take a muddy road, a lot of slippery steps, and even cross a river to get stunning views up close. Otherwise, you can still immerse yourself in the natural beauty here by diving into the plunge pool or enjoying the view from the top. 

- Entrance Fee: View Only – 20,000 IDR, Medium Trekking – 125,000 IDR, Long Trekking – 200,000 IDR
- Location: R5CM+X2, Sekumpul, Sawan, Buleleng Regency, Bali
- Opening Hours: 8 am – 5 pm

3. Tegenungan Waterfall

Starting off this list is the Tegenungan Waterfall, the largest and the most popular waterfall in Bali. Located just 30 min south of Ubud, this picturesque waterfall is hidden in the middle of a jungle in the village of Kemenuh. It’s highly recommended to visit Tegenungan Waterfall early in the morning when the tourists haven’t flocked to this place yet. And it’s also the perfect time to catch the very first sunlight shining through the canopy from the top of the waterfall to the natural pond below. The magic of nature happens when the spray from the waterfall touches the golden morning lights. Don’t miss this special moment in Bali with your beloved one.

- Entrance Fee: Adults: 15,000 IDR, Children: IDR 10,000
- Location: Jl. Ir. Sutami, Kemenuh, Kec. Sukawati, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali
- Opening Hours: 06:30 am – 6:30 pm

4. Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall

The Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall can be found in the North of Bali and is actually a group of 3 or even 4 waterfalls if you are lucky enough to visit this region in the rainy season. Like other waterfalls in the list, the Banyu Wana is also hidden in the jungle, rounded by exotic plants, bamboo forests, and jack fruit trees. Yet the hike to the waterfall is much shorter and more enjoyable, with just 5 to 10 minutes. After seeing all four waterfalls, you can choose to go for a swim or continue exploring the nearby jungle. 

- Entrance Fee: 30,000 IDR
- Location: Wanagiri, Sukasada, Buleleng Regency, Bali
- Opening Hours: 8 am – 5 pm

5. Leke Leke Waterfall 

After just a one-hour ride from Canggu or Ubud, passing lush greenery and rice fields, you can find yourself in the middle of a tranquil oasis in Leke Leke Waterfall. This hidden waterfall is narrow and therefore might not look as impressive as the others. But due to the height as well as the lush forestation as background, it is also a perfect place for a unique photoshoot. To arrive at the waterfall, you only have to walk through the back of a village and then cross some bamboo bridges until the sound of the falls tells you that you are in the right direction. Unfortunately, you can’t swim in the pool because it’s too small and narrow, but there is a hidden natural cave behind the fall for you to explore.

- Entrance Fee: 30,000 IDR
- Location: J5PW+7W7, Antapan, Baturiti, Tabanan Regency, Bali
- Opening Hours: 7 am – 5 pm

6. Tibumana Waterfall

Located in the Bangli - the most fertile region of Bali, the Tibumana Waterfall can be reached after a scenic ride across charming villages, rice fields, and lush valleys. This waterfall pours down from a height of about 5 meters and will become a twin fall in the rainy season thanks to the second stream. The surrounding cliffs are also covered in greenery and moss, making the scene more surreal. From the entrance, the 10-15 minute easy walk will lead you to a hidden world with cool breeze air and a peaceful atmosphere. And don’t forget to bring your swimsuits to take a dip in the pool under the cascading fall.

- Entrance Fee: Children & Adult: 15,000 IDR, Locker: 5,000 IDR
- Location: F8VM+768, Jl. Setra Agung, Apuan, Kec. Susut, Kabupaten Bangli, Bali
- Opening Hours: 8 am – 6 pm

7. Labuhan Kebo Waterfall

The Labuhan Kebo Waterfall is the first stop of the Munduk Waterfall trek which will lead you to three other waterfalls near the Munduk town: Melanting, Munduk, and finally the Golden Valley Waterfall. The whole trekking route will take you around 5-6 hours, but the untouched beauty of the falls is totally worth it. After reaching the entrance of the Labuhan Kebo Waterfall, you will have to walk down the stairs to the valley floor. This path is easily walkable with paved stairs. And then you will pass a couple of bamboo bridges to finally reach the waterfall. You can take a little break here to enjoy the magnificent view, and then walk back to the entrance to visit other waterfalls on the route. 

- Entrance Fee: 10.000 IDR
- Location: P3R8+729, Banyuatis, Banjar, Buleleng Regency, Bali
