Bali's coastline gets all the attention, but the island's interior hides something equally extraordinary: a series of waterfalls set in some of the most lush, dramatic jungle scenery in Southeast Asia. Fed by the rivers that flow from the central volcanic highlands, these waterfalls range from easily accessible swimming holes a short walk from the parking area to hidden cascades that require a proper trek through thick forest.

Many of Bali's waterfalls also carry spiritual significance — they sit near temples, are used for purification rituals, and are regarded by local Balinese communities as sacred places deserving genuine respect from visitors. Book your flights to Bali through Traveloka and explore beyond the beach.

Opening Hours: Open every day 24 hours
Entrance Fee: Rp125.000 (locals) and Rp200.000 - Rp300.000 (foreigners)

Unlike waterfalls in general, which usually have one flow of water, Aling Aling Waterfall is split into two. One of them has a very heavy water discharge while the water that falls on the other side is less.

This condition can only sometimes be seen, depending on the water flow, because it might mix if it is too heavy. But looking at it from the right angle, you will see the difference.

It should also be noted that the pool in the waterfall in Buleleng Regency is relatively deep. The depth reaches 4 meters so you must be careful, especially if you come with children. But deep pools with not too high cliffs allow you to jump off the cliffs and swim freely.

Nungnung Waterfall is located in Bandung Regency, Bali, and hides behind a beautiful expanse of tropical forest. You will witness the beauty of a 50-meter-high waterfall that rumbles in the natural pool below.

Large rocks and towering trees surround the beauty of this waterfall. But you need strong stamina because you must go through hundreds of stairs to get to the location. Not to mention when you have to cross a relatively high bridge called Tukad Bangkung.

The beautiful scenery will pay, especially the thin mist from the water hitting the rocks. This waterfall is at about 900 meters, making the air around it so cool.

This waterfall in Gianyar offers a serene atmosphere where you will only enjoy the sounds of nature. This peaceful atmosphere is often used as a location for Hindu self-purification ceremonies called melukat. This 20-meter-high waterfall with a 45-degree slope is still open to tourists.

The height of the waterfall does not necessarily make the pond that is formed deep. You can swim and play with your children using a life jacket to make it safer in the shallow pool.

This waterfall is not only about its beauty but also the mystery of the existence of a cave. Visit the cave by following the rocks beside the waterfall, and will be greeted with a wide mouth from the cave.

Tukad Cepung is arguably the most photogenic waterfall in Bali — a cave waterfall where light filters through an opening in the canyon ceiling, illuminating the mist and water in golden beams at certain times of morning. It requires navigating a narrow river canyon to reach, which makes it more adventurous than it looks in photos. Tibumana, near Bangli, offers a tranquil swimming hole in a less-visited setting with very reasonable entry fees. Both are worth including in a central Bali waterfall day. Book your airport transfer through Traveloka and arrive ready to explore everything the island offers above and beyond the beach.

Opening Hours: 07.00 am - 05.00 pm

Many Bali waterfall experts consider Sekumpul the island's most beautiful — a cluster of up to seven separate cascades falling side by side from a high cliff into a jungle valley, accessible after a scenic trek through terraced rice fields and rural villages. The journey is part of the experience, and guides are strongly recommended both for navigation and to support the local community. It's located in north Bali and best combined with a full-day trip from the south. Find guided waterfall tours across Bali through Traveloka.

• Sunscreen

Sunscreen must be used while exploring, moreover, you must go through a long journey to the waterfall.

• Camera

Bring a camera so you can capture the moment with the beautiful background.
