Bali Sekumpul Waterfall Trek & Fiji Falls Adventure Tour

Summary

Guided Lemukih Village Waterfall Trekking with Swimming & Temple Visit

You’ll trek hidden jungle trails to Bali’s most impressive waterfalls, swim in cool pools beneath towering cascades, ride motorbikes through Lemukih village, and finish with a quiet moment at Ulun Danu Temple—all guided by locals who know every secret path.

What’s the experience like?

We left just after sunrise—Denpasar was still waking up as our driver wound through the hills. By the time we reached Lemukih village, the air felt cooler and smelled faintly of wet earth. Locals were already out in the rice fields, waving as we hopped on motorbikes for a quick ride to the trailhead. It’s not something you’d want to walk; those narrow paths are best left to folks who know every bump.

The first stop was the Fiji rice terraces. I’d seen photos before, but standing there with a fresh coconut in hand (the farmer cut it right off a tree for us), you get why people keep coming back. The view stretches all the way to the sea if you squint past the morning mist. Our guide, Wayan, pointed out tiny birds darting between stalks—he says they’re good luck if you spot three.

Next came the water slide carved into ancient rock—honestly, I hesitated at first. There are three levels: easy, medium, and one that’s just wild. With helmets on and a bit of encouragement from our group, I went for it. The rush is real; cold spray hits your face and you can hear everyone laughing over the roar of water. If you’re into a bit of adrenaline, this is it.

The trek down to Fiji Waterfalls meant about 250 steps (my calves still remember). You’ll pass two falls side by side—one is pure spring water, icy cold even at midday. We swam in one of the pools while some braver souls jumped from a ledge about four meters up. The sound down there is something else—just water and wind through leaves.

Sekumpul Waterfall isn’t far from Fiji Falls but feels like its own world. Three separate streams crash down into a wide basin where you can swim or just sit on a rock and let your feet dangle in the current. Wayan kept an eye on our bags while we floated around—he’s lived here his whole life and knows every shortcut back up.

After drying off (bring an extra shirt!), we stopped at a small warung for lunch—simple fried rice and sweet iced tea hit differently after all that hiking. On the drive back, we made time for Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. The lake was glassy that afternoon; locals were lighting incense by the shore. It’s peaceful in a way that sticks with you long after you leave.
