5 Most Beautiful Waterfalls in Bali
If you love waterfalls, then it is guaranteed that you will find some of the world’s best waterfalls in Bali. Seeing some of them truly was an out-of-world experience for me. My list may not contain the famous Sekumpul Waterfall, Bali nor the picturesque Tegenungan waterfall, Bali, but if it’s your first time in Bali or the third, I promise that you will find something that you will want to visit after reading this post.
Here’s a list of my favourite Bali waterfalls for you to enjoy.
Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall
Probably my favourite out of all the waterfalls in Bali, Banyu Wana Amertha is not to be confused with Banyumala waterfall, though both are easily reachable from Munduk. Being here truly felt like a dream. The water spray across your face, butterflies all around you and THIS VIEW?
Banyu Wana Amertha has four waterfalls totally, in two locations 200m apart. The waterfalls are magical (I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves) and the pools are calm enough to swim in. If there is one place I would recommend you to absolutely visit, it would be this.
Entrance Fee: 40k IDR per person.
If you are looking to visit this waterfall, here’s my detailed guide to Banyu Wana Amertha.
Red Coral Waterfall

If you are looking to do a waterfall trek in Bali, let it be this one.
Munduk waterfalls is actually a set of four waterfalls – Red Coral, Labuhan Kebo, Melanting and Golden Valley Waterfalls. You can do the waterfall trek and visit all four or if you are short on time like I was (let’s be honest. I was dead tired from hiking down waterfalls all day) you can choose one and visit it directly. Our receptionist at the hotel suggested Red Coral out of the four and PHEW! It was MAJESTIC! We had this place to ourselves when we went there, and with a flock of Swifts twirling all around, the experience was straight out of a fairytale.
Entrance Fee: 40k IDR per person.
Leke Leke Waterfall
Leke Leke Waterfall and Me, Bali Leke Leke Waterfall, Bali
Situated 30km from Ubud, Leke Leke Waterfall is 1 hr from Ubud and roughly around the same distance from Munduk. This can easily be visited when you travelling between Ubud and Munduk.
The hike down to this waterfall is relatively easy, and the thin stream of waterfall slicing through in between all the greenery makes for any photographer’s dream.
Tip: Be sure to click some photos from the two viewing platforms a ways up from the base for the green foreground elements.
Entrance fee: 50k IDR per person.
Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Tukad Cepung Waterfall, Bali The other waterfall at Tukad Cepung, Bali
Popularly known as the “cave waterfall”, this waterfalls near Ubud, Bali is not to be missed.
Since this waterfalls is near Ubud and quite popular on social media, it gets really crowded on most days. I would suggest to get here early but if you want to catch the famous sun rays, you will need to get here between 9:30 am to 11:30 am. We were lucky enough to see some sun rays when we got here at 8, and while I would have loved to stay and catch it in all its glory, we were happy to make our way back up before it got too crowded.
Entrance Fee: 20k IDR per person.
Git Git Twin Waterfall
Git Git Twin Waterfall, Bali Air Mekalongan, Bali
We wouldn’t have visited this waterfall if not for a kind local who rescued us when we were lost trying to reach the other Git Git waterfall in Bali. But it was a happy accident as this turned out to be even better.
I felt this is a good alternative to the more crowded Aling-Aling Waterfalls since you can jump into the pool here as well (though not from a great height like Aling-Aling) but for a lesser price and with fewer people around.
The pool under the twin waterfalls is perfect to take a dip in and you can use a rope to swing and jump into the pool, all Tarzan-like.
Bonus waterfall: Hike down a little for 5 mins and you arrive at Air Mekalongan.
Entrance Fee: 20k IDR per person.
Things to remember before visiting Bali waterfalls:
- Don’t trust Google Maps too much if you are driving around yourself.
- Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking up and down a lot of stairs.
- Bring your swimwear and a towel since you can easily swim in most of them.
- And most importantly, don’t litter and have fun.
