North Bali Tour — Sekumpul Waterfall & Mountain Lakes

⏱ 10–12 hours ☀ Departs 7:30 AM ★★★★★ 5.0

Overview

Sekumpul is widely called the most beautiful waterfall in Bali — a cathedral of cascades hidden in the northern jungle. This tour takes you deep into the island’s wild, green north, far from the tourist crowds.

The day pairs the waterfall trek with serene mountain lakes and temples. It’s a more active tour with a jungle walk down to the falls, best suited to families who love nature and don’t mind some steps.

Where you'll go

Helpful travel tips

  • Wear proper shoes — the trek down to Sekumpul is steep and can be slippery.
  • Bring a change of clothes and a towel if you plan to get in the water.
  • It’s a long day; not ideal for toddlers or anyone who can’t manage stairs.
  • Start early — the drive north is long but gorgeous.

Frequently asked questions

How hard is the Sekumpul trek?

Moderate — expect a fair number of steps down and back up. Take it slow and it’s very doable for most.

Can we swim at the waterfall?

Yes, when conditions are safe. I’ll advise on the day based on water levels.

Is this good for older grandparents?

The drive and lakes are easy, but the waterfall trek is strenuous — we can enjoy the viewpoints instead if preferred.
