All inclusive Bali Sekumpul Waterfalls Trekking Tour

Sekumpul is the star here: a powerful pair of falls set below Bali’s northern hills, reached by motorbike and a proper walk rather than a roadside viewpoint. You can swim, use a natural river slide, and reach a jumping point, so this is much more active than a quick waterfall photo stop.

I like the private format, which lets your group move at its own pace, and I like that lunch, water, core entrance fees, and motorbike transfers are included. Driver Bobby has also shown himself to be punctual and flexible about adding stops. The catch is the long drive from Kuta, followed by a physically demanding trek, so this is not a lazy sightseeing day.

Key points to know before booking

• Two waterfall areas in one outing: Visit Sekumpul first, then continue to Fiji Waterfall and its group of cascades.
• Motorbike access saves time: A short ride takes you from Lemukih village toward the trekking start, adding fun but requiring comfort on a motorcycle.
• Swimming is part of the plan: Bring swimwear for the river slide, jumping point, and pools beneath the falls.
• A long day from Kuta: Pickup is around 7:00 am, with roughly two to three hours of driving each way.
• Private, not a large group trip: Only your own party joins the activity, with an English-speaking trekking guide.
• Good value if you use the inclusions: Lunch, bottled water, safety helmet, supervisor, transport, and waterfall admission cover the main costs.

The long road from Kuta to Lemukih

Your day begins with hotel pickup at about 7:00 am. From Kuta and the southern Bali area, the drive to Lemukih village takes roughly two to three hours, depending on your pickup point and road conditions.

That early start matters. Sekumpul sits well away from Bali’s beach strip, and reaching it takes time. You give up much of the morning to the road, but you also leave behind the dense hotel zone and spend the day in a more rural part of the island.

Private transport makes this easier than arranging separate rides. You do not need to find a meeting point, negotiate a local transfer, or worry about getting back after the trek. The same arrangement also gives you some flexibility. Bobby, one of the drivers associated with this outing, was punctual and happy to accommodate requested stops, a useful trait on a full-day private tour.

Still, keep your expectations realistic. This is an eight to ten-hour outing, and the drive takes up a large part of it. If you want a short activity close to Kuta, choose a beach or nearby temple instead. If you want a full day built around waterfalls, the distance is part of the trade-off.

Riding into Lemukih by motorbike

After arriving in Lemukih, you do not walk the entire route from the village. A motorbike transfer takes you to the starting point of the trek and later brings you back.

This is both practical and memorable. The motorcycle cuts out some road time and gives you a closer look at the village surroundings. The ride also adds a little excitement before the walking begins. You should be comfortable riding as a passenger and follow the safety instructions given by the local team.

The motorbike is not a private scooter rental for you to operate. It is a transfer as part of the tour. The package includes rides to and from the trekking start point, which is especially useful because arranging this section independently could add cost and confusion.

Wear shoes with a firm grip. The tour specifically asks you to bring shoes, and that advice matters more than fashionable footwear here. You will walk in a wet waterfall setting, and the route includes access to water-based activities. Bring a towel, sun block, a hat, and dry clothes for afterward.

Reaching Sekumpul Waterfall on foot

The first major stop is Sekumpul Waterfall. From the motorbike drop-off, you continue on foot with the trekking guide. The published timing gives about 30 minutes for this stop, though the full experience includes the walk, time near the water, and photographs.

Sekumpul is the scenic centerpiece of the day. The falls sit in a rural valley rather than beside a busy road, which gives the visit a stronger sense of place. You are not simply stepping out of a vehicle, taking one picture, and leaving. The route and setting make the waterfall feel like a destination earned by effort.

Your guide can point out photo positions and offer local tips as you go. That help is useful because waterfall viewpoints can look very different depending on where you stand. You will want a waterproof way to carry your phone, as the spray and river activities make wet conditions likely.

The walk requires a good level of fitness. The tour sets a minimum age of 10, but age alone does not tell you if it is suitable. You should be able to manage a sustained outdoor walk and cope with uneven, wet conditions. Anyone with limited mobility or a low fitness level should ask detailed questions before booking because no accessibility information is provided.

Swimming, sliding, and jumping beneath the falls

This outing is not only for looking at waterfalls. You have opportunities to swim, use a water slide, and reach a jumping point, with a safety helmet and a supervisor included.

That combination gives the day a playful side, but you should treat it as an active excursion rather than an informal swim. Listen carefully to the guide and supervisor. Use the helmet provided, and do not take part in a jump or slide if you feel unsure.

Pack swimwear and a full change of clothes. A towel is also on the required list. Bottled water and refreshments are included, which helps keep you going during the walk, but you should still arrive ready for heat, humidity, and physical exertion.

The water activities are optional in the practical sense: you can decide how much you want to participate. The tour description presents them as key parts of the experience, so anyone wanting only dry viewpoints may find the outing more energetic than expected.

Continuing to Fiji Waterfall

The route then continues to Fiji Waterfall, an area described as containing about four waterfalls. Along the way, you can see two side-by-side falls, including one fed entirely by spring water.

This second stop adds variety. Sekumpul gives you the main dramatic waterfall setting, while Fiji offers a wider series of cascades and more chances to spend time around the water. The route through a deep valley keeps the focus on natural scenery rather than built attractions.

The scheduled time for Fiji is about two hours, making it the longer part of the waterfall visit. That gives you room for photographs, swimming, and the river activities without having to rush through every stop.

The name can cause a little confusion. Some descriptions spell the stop as Fili, but the attraction is commonly presented here as Fiji Waterfall. When communicating with the operator, use both names if needed so everyone understands the same destination.

Lunch and what the $90 price covers

The price is about $90 per person. For a private eight to ten-hour outing, that can be fair value if you make use of the included services.

Your package covers private transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off, an English-speaking trekking guide, motorbike transfers, bottled water, lunch, and core admission to the waterfall stops. It also includes a safety helmet and supervision for the jumping point and water slide.

The value is strongest for people who would otherwise need to arrange several separate pieces. A private car from Kuta, a local transfer into Lemukih, a trekking guide, meals, and admission can quickly become a complicated set of bookings. Here, the main day is bundled together.

Do note the wording around admission. Entrance fees for the main waterfall experience are included, while fees for optional stops are not. Alcoholic drinks are also excluded, though they can be purchased. Bring cash for local shopping and tips, as requested by the operator.

Lunch is included, but the exact menu is not specified. If you have dietary restrictions, ask before booking rather than assuming the included meal will suit you. The same applies to any special transport or activity needs.

Optional stops that can lengthen the day

The route may also include optional visits to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, and the Bali Handara Iconic Gate.

These stops can add photo opportunities and cultural interest, but they are not the core waterfall program. Each optional visit may also bring an extra entrance fee, and adding several stops could push an already long day beyond the estimated eight to ten hours.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is the most clearly cultural choice of the three. Wanagiri Hidden Hills and the Handara gate are more focused on scenic photographs. Ask your driver or operator which stops are realistic on your date, and confirm the extra charges before agreeing.

I would prioritize the waterfalls first. If the road schedule leaves time and you want more photographs, add one optional stop rather than trying to collect all three. The best feature of this trip is the time in Lemukih, not a rushed sequence of roadside pictures.

Who will enjoy this waterfall day

You are a strong match if you want an active Bali outing, enjoy swimming, and do not mind a long drive from Kuta. It also suits couples, families with older children, and small groups who prefer a private vehicle and guide rather than a large shared excursion.

The minimum age is 10. Even for children over that age, the physical demands deserve attention. A good fitness level is required, and the combination of walking, wet surfaces, motorbike rides, and water activities may not suit every child.

This is also a good choice if you care about photographs. The guide knows the main photo areas, and the two waterfall locations provide different settings. Bring protection for your phone and camera, since spray and swimming are part of the day.

You may want another tour if you dislike motorcycles, avoid physical activity, or want a relaxed schedule. The early departure and long return drive can feel tiring, especially after time in the water. You should also skip the optional stops if fatigue starts to set in.

Practical preparation for a smoother day

Wear secure shoes and clothes that can get wet. Bring swimwear, a towel, a hat, sun block, and a complete change of clothes. Cash is useful for local shopping and tipping.

Keep your belongings light. A large bag will be awkward during the walk and on the motorbike. Use a small waterproof bag for your phone, wallet, and dry clothes if possible.

Ask about food needs before departure. Lunch is included, but no menu details are supplied. Alcoholic drinks are not included, though they may be available to buy.

The tour is private, so only your own group participates. That gives you a better chance to pause for photos or adjust the pace than a large bus tour would. It does not remove the physical demands of the route, so use the private format to manage your time, not to underestimate the walk.

Free cancellation is available when you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off follows local time.

My verdict on this Sekumpul experience

I would book this tour if I wanted a full, active day away from Bali’s southern beaches and liked the idea of combining scenery with swimming. The package covers the main practical costs, and the private transport, motorbike transfer, guide, lunch, and water make the $90 price easier to justify.

I would not book it for a quick waterfall visit or an easy family day. The two to three-hour drive each way, the trek, and the wet adventure activities demand energy.

For the best fit, book this when you have one full day available, wear proper shoes, and treat the optional temple and photo stops as extras rather than the main reason to go. If Sekumpul and Fiji are your priority, this is a well-organized way to reach them without managing the rural transport yourself.
