The 9 Best Waterfalls in Bali

When you say Bali, you say beaches, rice fields and ... waterfalls, lots of waterfalls. If you enjoy walking through the jungle, following the water, climbing over rocks and experiencing the power of nature and water, you should definitely go chasing waterfalls on the Island of the Gods. To help you choose which Bali waterfalls you want to visit from the hundreds of options, we have put together a list with the 9 best waterfalls you can not miss.

Note!

Don’t forget to bring your swimwear, because at many of these waterfalls, you can take a refreshing dip in the water. It's also best to bring or wear sturdy shoes, as you will often have to do a lot of stairs and steep paths.

Fly to your destination at the best prices! Our partners offer many airlines on their platform so you can compare what is the best option for you.

1. Leke Leke Waterfall

The Leke Leke waterfall is a picture perfect waterfall, surrounded by a lush green forest and colorful flowers in the middle of Bali. The hike down is easy to moderate and takes around 15 minutes. After your welcome drink at the entrance, you can follow a well maintained path with concrete steps, some sandy parts and a few bamboo bridges. Its powerful stream amidst the beautiful greenery makes it a real dream for photographers.

Until recently, this waterfall was still fairly ‘unknown’. but we have the feeling that it is growing in popularity. A good reason to visit it as soon as possible!

2. Nungnung waterfall

The second waterfall on this list is definitely one of our favorite Bali waterfalls. The Nungnung waterfall is one of the tallest and most powerful falls in Bali. It is a 50 meter high waterfall, located in a green jungle gorge. To get to the bottom of the waterfall, you have to descend about 500 steps. Keep in mind that you will have to ascend these again afterwards. It’s a tough journey, but it’s definitely worth it. Read more about how to visit this waterfall in our Nungnung Waterfall guide!

No problem! Airhelp will determine with and for you whether you will receive compensation or not. This completely free of charge!

3. Gitgit Waterfall

The Gitgit Waterfall is, just like the Nungnung Waterfall, one of the highest in Bali and a very impressive one. At this 48 meter high waterfall, you find a small Bali gate that gives you access to the cascading water, adding an extra unique feature to it.

To reach this waterfall, you have to follow a path that is lined with little souvenirs shops. Some sellers were quite pushy, which made the experience a little less pleasant. But the waterfall itself makes it more than worth it!

5. Tibumana waterfall

The Tibumana Waterfall is a beautiful and secluded waterfall, that falls straight down into the pool below, where you can take a refreshing dip. It is not only the beautiful waterfall that makes this place worth a visit, but also the stunning road to get there. This lovely, narrow palm tree-lined road leads you through the lush green riche fields to the entrance of the waterfall. In the light of the rising sun, this place becomes even more magical. It is a very popular waterfall in the Ubud region, so try to visit as early as possible!

6. Banyumala Twin waterfall

The Banyumala Twin Waterfall is a beautiful waterfall in the Wanagiri region in north Bali. As its name suggests, it is actually two waterfalls right next to each other. At the foot of the waterfalls, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural swimming pool. Sometimes you also see monkeys climbing around and even on the waterfall.

At the entrance you receive a small bottle of water and a nice souvenir. The bottle of water is very welcome if you didn’t bring your own, because it is a short but steep and sometimes slippery descent to the entrance and another descent to the waterfall.

7. Melanting Waterfall

The Melanting waterfall is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the Munduk area. It is a 15 meter high waterfall, surrounded by lush greens. Its location, close to the village of Munduk, makes it a very accessible one.

This waterfall is also one of the four waterfalls that you come along the Munduk Waterfall trek. So if you have the time, we recommend that you do not just the Melanting waterfall but the entire trek and visit all four waterfalls.

8. Banyu wana amertha

At the Banyua Wana Amertha, you do not find just one but four incredible waterfalls, each very different and unique. The biggest and, to our opinion, most impressive one is the Bhuana Sari waterfall. The Banyua Wana Amertha looks like a curtain of water over the rocks.

When you arrive, you first have to descent a trail until you come to a junction. Here, you can turn left towards the first two waterfalls, including the Banyu Wana Amertha. Then, you walk back to the junction and take the other trail until you reach the Bhuana Sari.

This place is still quite a hidden gem, so you will probably not encounter many tourists there. The entrance fee is slightly higher than the average waterfall, but you do get four for the price of one.

9. Kanto Lampo

Kanto Lampo is one of the most famous Bali waterfalls of Ubud and maybe even in the whole island. It is a huge waterfall that looks like a big wall or curtain of water. You can swim in the natural pools below. Or you can climb on the rocks and take a shower in the natural spray of the waterfall. Be careful, as it might be very slippery! Because it is such a popular spot, we recommend you to visit very early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
