All inclusive Bali Sekumpul Waterfalls Trekking Tour

Waterfalls, motorbikes, and a full day outdoors. This private trip from Kuta takes you into Lemukih village for a guided walk to Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls, with swimming, natural water slides, lunch, drinks, and transport included. I like the hotel pickup and drop-off, which removes a long day of route planning, and I like the motorbike ride to the trailhead, a practical and memorable part of reaching this rural area. The main drawback is the length of the drive, which can take two to three hours each way from Denpasar.

The walk is best for you if you have good fitness and enjoy getting wet. The paths lead into a valley and include water activities, so this is not a quick roadside waterfall stop. Bobby, one named driver connected with the experience, has been praised for punctual pickup and for being willing to accommodate extra stops when time allows.

Key points to know before booking

• Two major waterfall areas in one outing: Visit Sekumpul first, then continue to the Fiji waterfall area, which includes about four cascades.
• Motorbike access adds real adventure: Ride from Lemukih village to the start of the walking route instead of spending the whole approach on foot.
• Swimming and water play are part of the plan: Bring swimwear for the water slide, jumping point, and pools beneath the falls.
• Lunch and refreshments are included: Bottled water, lunch, entrance fees for the main activity, a helmet, and supervision are covered.
• Private touring keeps the day flexible: Only your own group takes part, and the driver may be able to add optional stops when the schedule permits.
• The day starts early and runs long: Pickup is set for 7:00 a.m., and the total outing lasts about eight to ten hours.

What the day is really like from Kuta

The early start matters. Pickup is scheduled for 7:00 a.m., and the drive to Lemukih village usually takes about two to three hours from Denpasar. From Kuta, the exact travel time can vary, but you should expect a substantial portion of the day to be spent in the vehicle.

I see this as the trade-off for reaching a more rural part of northern Bali. You are not being taken to a waterfall beside a city road. The drive gives you access to Lemukih, where the water routes sit away from the main beach areas. Still, you should be comfortable with a long road journey before you book.

The private format helps here. You do not have to match the pace of a large group, and the day is limited to your party. A punctual driver makes a real difference when the pickup is early, especially if you are staying in the Kuta area and want to spend the return trip resting.

One detailed account praised Bobby for arriving on time and being happy to accommodate requested stops. That is useful because optional sightseeing can make the return journey more appealing, though you should treat those additions as possibilities rather than guaranteed parts of the day.

Riding a motorbike into Lemukih’s waterfall country

Once you reach Lemukih village, the tour changes character. Rather than simply walking from the vehicle, you ride a motorbike to the starting point of the trail. The motorbike transfer is included both ways.

This is more than a novelty. It saves walking time on the approach and gives you a better sense of how the local route works. It also makes the outing feel less polished and more connected to the village setting. You should be ready for a more active form of transport, rather than expecting a coach to stop beside the falls.

The tour provides a helmet and supervision for the water activities. The supplied details do not explain every road condition or motorbike arrangement, so I would ask the operator any questions you have about riding before departure. If you are not comfortable on a motorbike, make that clear when booking.

After the ride, the proper walking section begins. The route takes you through the Lemukih area toward the waterfalls. You will want shoes with a good grip, a towel, sun protection, and dry clothes for the ride back.

Sekumpul Waterfall: the first major stop

Sekumpul is the opening waterfall stop, and the schedule allows about 30 minutes for this section. That time is enough for a focused visit, photographs, and a look at the main falls, but it is not an open-ended stay.

The route is described as a real trek rather than a short stroll. You should expect uneven walking and a physical effort before reaching the water. The operator requires a strong level of fitness and sets a minimum age of 10, so this outing is not aimed at very young children or anyone who needs an easy path.

Your guide is important here. A local English-speaking trekking guide leads the walk and can point out good places for photographs. The tour specifically promotes photo stops, and the setting gives you plenty to work with: tall cascades, a valley route, and the contrast between the moving water and the surrounding rural area.

The 30-minute allocation may feel brief if Sekumpul is your main reason for booking. You are fitting two waterfall areas into one day, so the schedule favors variety over lingering at one spot. If you want a slow photographic session at Sekumpul alone, a dedicated visit might suit you better.

Fiji Waterfall and the four-cascade route

The second section continues to Fiji Waterfall, also called Fili Waterfall in some tour details. This part receives about two hours, making it the more substantial stop.

The Fiji area contains about four waterfalls. Along the route, you can see two falls side by side, and one is described as being fed entirely by spring water. That gives this section a different appeal from simply viewing one large cascade. You get a series of water features in one valley setting.

The route leads into a deep valley, so the walk and the setting are central to the experience. You should not treat Fiji as a quick photo stop. Allow yourself time to walk, pause, and take part in the water activities. Your guide and the activity supervisor help organize the more active parts of the visit.

This is also where your swimwear earns its place in the day bag. The tour includes access to a jumping point and a river water slide, with a safety helmet and supervisor provided. You can swim beneath the cascades, slide in the river, and jump at the designated point if you feel comfortable doing so.

The wording of the inclusions is important: access and supervision are included, but participation is your choice. You do not have to jump or use the slide. If you prefer a quieter visit, you can focus on swimming, photographs, and the walk.

Swimming, slides, and safety in the water

The water activities are a major reason to choose this tour instead of a simple waterfall viewing trip. You can bring swimwear and take breaks in the water, with opportunities to swim beneath the cascades, use the slide, and jump from the designated point.

A safety helmet and supervisor are included for the jumping and slide area. That is reassuring, but it does not remove the need for caution. Follow the guide’s instructions, use the supervised points only, and do not take part if you feel unsteady or uncomfortable.

The physical demands continue after the water play. Wet paths, walking, and a full day outside can be tiring. Wear shoes rather than sandals if you have the choice, and pack a change of clothes for after the activity. A towel is also specifically recommended.

The tour requires a strong physical fitness level. That should guide your decision more than the attractive photographs. If you have trouble with extended walking, uneven routes, or water-based activity, ask the operator for a clear description before paying.

Lunch, bottled water, and what the price covers

At $90 per person, the price is not a bare transport fee. It includes private transportation, the English-speaking guide, motorbike transfers to and from the trailhead, bottled water, lunch, the main entrance fees, and supervised access to the water slide and jumping point.

That bundle gives the tour solid value if you want one arranged day rather than separate transport, entrance payments, and a guide. Lunch matters on a long outing because you are away from Kuta for much of the day, and bottled water means one less thing to arrange before departure.

The phrase all inclusive needs a small qualification. Alcoholic drinks are not included, though they can be purchased. Entrance fees for optional visits are also extra. The main waterfall activity is covered, but optional temple or viewpoint stops may add cost.

You should also carry cash for local shopping and tips. This is not a hidden tour charge. It is simply useful for small purchases and for thanking the people who help during the day.

Optional stops: temple, hills, or the Handara gate

The route may include optional visits to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, or the Bali Handara iconic gate. These are not part of the core waterfall experience, and their entrance fees are not included.

Their value depends on your priorities. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple adds a cultural and architectural stop to a day otherwise centered on walking and water. Wanagiri Hidden Hills is aimed at scenic photographs. The Handara gate is another familiar photo location.

The advantage of asking about these stops is flexibility. A private vehicle gives your group a better chance of discussing additions with the driver, and Bobby has been praised for being willing to accommodate requested stops. The limitation is time. The waterfall route already takes eight to ten hours, and the drive is long, so adding every option could make the day rushed.

I would choose one optional stop at most, and only if the timing works. The waterfalls are the reason to book this experience, not a list of extra photo locations.

Guide quality, group size, and the private format

You receive an English-speaking trekking guide as well as private transportation. The guide’s role is practical: leading the route, sharing local tips, helping you find good photo positions, and supporting the water activities.

Because the tour is private, only your group participates. That is a major plus if your party has mixed energy levels. You can spend more time taking photographs, move on when you are ready, or discuss an optional stop without a busload of strangers waiting.

The private setup also makes the $90 price easier to judge. For one person, it is a significant day-trip cost. For a small group, the personal transport and dedicated guide may make the package more attractive, especially if group discounts apply.

The available rating is 5 from 24 reviews, with a 100 percent recommendation figure. I would read that as strong support for the overall organization and activity, while still giving proper weight to the stated fitness requirement and long drive.

What to pack for the waterfall trek

Pack lightly, but bring the items that protect you from a wet and tiring day. The operator specifically asks you to bring:

• Shoes
• A towel
• A hat
• Sunblock
• Swimwear
• A change of clothes
• Cash for local shopping and tips

I would keep your phone and camera protected from water. The tour promises good photo locations, but the route includes swimming and a water slide, so a waterproof pouch is a sensible addition if you plan to carry electronics.

Wear clothes that can handle getting wet. Your change of clothes is for after the activities, not simply a spare option. Bottled water is supplied, and lunch is included, so you do not need to pack a full meal.

The minimum age is 10. Even at that age, the child should be able to manage the walking and understand the safety rules. The operator’s stronger warning is fitness, not age alone.

Who should book this Bali waterfall tour?

I would recommend this experience to you if you want an active day away from Kuta’s beach scene and like the idea of combining a guided trek with swimming. It suits people who enjoy a full itinerary, rural access by motorbike, and a little controlled adventure.

It is also a good fit for a private group that wants transport handled from start to finish. Hotel pickup and drop-off save time, while lunch, water, and the main admission fees make the day easier to budget.

I would hesitate if you want a relaxed sightseeing day with little walking. The drive is long, the trek requires good fitness, and the water activities may leave you wet and tired. I would also think twice if your main goal is to spend hours at Sekumpul alone, since the visit is divided between Sekumpul and Fiji.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Changes or cancellations made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted, and the local time cutoff applies.

Should you book it?

Book this tour if you want two waterfall areas, a motorbike approach, supervised water fun, and a private guide in one organized day. The $90 price is fair when you value included lunch, bottled water, transport, main entrance fees, and hotel pickup.

Skip it if the two to three-hour journey sounds exhausting or if you need an easy, short walk. Before booking, ask about the motorbike arrangement and the likely timing of any optional stops. For an active day with real time in the water, this is a strong choice. For a slow temple and viewpoint tour, choose another Bali outing.
