All inclusive Bali Sekumpul Waterfalls Trekking Tour

Sekumpul is the main event here: a long day from Kuta that ends with a footpath, a motorbike ride, and a series of waterfalls tucked into Bali’s northern hills. At the water, you can swim, use a natural slide, and jump from a supervised point if you choose. The ride to the trailhead adds a lively local touch, while the falls provide the real reward.

I like the private hotel pickup and drop-off, which removes the hassle of finding a meeting point before sunrise. I also like the clear value of the package: lunch, bottled water, entrance fees, a guide, motorbike transfers, and safety equipment are included. The catch is the long road time, roughly two to three hours each way from Denpasar, plus a trek that requires strong physical fitness.

Key points to know before booking

• Two waterfall areas in one day: Visit Sekumpul first, then continue to Fiji Waterfall, also called Fili Waterfall in the tour details.
• Motorbike access to Lemukih: Ride from the village toward the trekking start point instead of walking the entire approach.
• Water activities included: Swim, use the river slide, or try the jumping point with a helmet and supervisor.
• A private tour for your group: You do not share the activity with a larger tour party.
• An early 7:00 am pickup: The start helps you make the most of the long drive north.
• Optional photo stops: Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, and the Bali Handara gate may be added, with their entrance fees extra.

Why Sekumpul makes this long day worthwhile

Northern Bali feels far removed from Kuta’s beach traffic and hotel strips. The trip carries you toward Lemukih village, where the day changes pace. The road journey is not a minor detail. It takes about two to three hours from Denpasar, so you should book this tour for the waterfalls themselves, not for a quick outing between other plans.

Sekumpul is known for its tall, dramatic falls and rural setting. The walk takes you away from the vehicle and into the valley, where the sound of falling water gradually replaces road noise. The tour gives you time to reach the water rather than stopping at a roadside viewpoint.

The first part of the outing is described as about 30 minutes at Sekumpul, though the full walking and activity time can feel longer depending on your pace and the conditions. You should expect uneven paths, steps, and wet ground. Good shoes matter more than stylish beach sandals.

The reward is access to the water. Bring swimwear, because the tour includes opportunities to swim and use the river slide. You can also try the jumping point, with a safety helmet and supervisor provided. These activities are optional in spirit, so you can enjoy the falls without taking every plunge.

The motorbike ride changes the approach

After arriving in Lemukih village, you ride a motorbike to and from the trekking start point. This is one of the more distinctive parts of the experience. It cuts down the approach on foot and gives you a close look at the village roads and countryside.

The motorbike transfer is not the same as a sightseeing motorcycle tour. Its job is practical: it gets you closer to the trail. Still, the short ride adds energy to the morning and makes the route feel less like a standard coach excursion.

You should be comfortable riding as a passenger and ready for a little movement. The supplied information does not specify the length of the motorbike transfer or the road surface, so listen carefully to your guide and keep your belongings secure. A small bag is easier to manage than a large daypack.

Bobby is named as a driver who arrived punctually and was happy to make extra stops. That flexibility can be useful on a long private transfer. It also means you can discuss the day’s pace and possible photo stops directly rather than being tied to a large group schedule.

At Sekumpul, expect water, steps, and wet shoes

The trek is the physical heart of the tour. You leave the vehicle, walk toward the falls, and spend time near the water before moving on to Fiji. The route is not presented as an easy stroll, and the operator asks participants to have a strong level of physical fitness.

Take that warning seriously. You need to manage a full day with a long drive, a trek, stairs or uneven ground, and water activities. The minimum age is 10, but age alone does not determine suitability. A fit child may manage it, while an older person with knee or balance problems may find it tiring.

Wear shoes with a secure grip. Pack a towel, hat, sun block, and a full change of clothes for afterward. You will be glad to have dry clothes for the ride back, particularly after swimming or using the slide.

The setting is made for photographs, but do not let the camera dictate the day. Wet paths and water make phones vulnerable. Use a waterproof pouch or keep electronics packed until your guide points out a safe place to stop. The guide’s local tips can help you find the best angles without slowing the group.

Fiji Waterfall adds a second setting

The route continues to Fiji Waterfall, identified in the tour details as Fili Waterfall. This section takes about two hours and includes a group of roughly four waterfalls. The variety gives the day more substance than a single stop at one cascade.

Along the way, you can see two waterfalls side by side. One is described as entirely spring water, an unusual detail that adds interest to an otherwise scenic stop. The falls are set in a deep valley, so you should expect more walking and a sense of being well away from the main road.

The longer stop lets you spread out the activities. You can take photographs, swim, use the water slide, or simply sit near the cascades. The tour includes a supervisor and helmet for the jumping point, which is useful, but you should still make your own decision based on water conditions and your comfort level.

The name Fiji may suggest a grand single waterfall, but the appeal here is the collection of cascades and water areas. This is a good match if you want a hands-on day in nature rather than a short photo stop. It is less suitable if you prefer to see a famous view, take a few pictures, and return quickly to the coast.

Lunch and included costs improve the value

At $90 per person, this is not the cheapest way to see northern Bali. It is a full private day, though, and the price covers several costs that can quickly add up: private transportation, an English-speaking trekking guide, motorbike transfers, bottled water, lunch, and access to the water slide and jumping area.

Entrance fees for the main waterfall experience are included. Alcoholic drinks are not included, and you pay separately for any optional stop. You should also carry cash for local shopping and tips, as requested in the practical information.

The value is strongest for two or more people who want a private outing. You avoid coordinating transport, finding Lemukih, arranging a local guide, and sorting out the motorbike connection yourself. The private format also lets you keep the pace within reason and discuss extra stops with the driver.

The value is weaker if your only goal is to see a waterfall from a lookout. In that case, the road time may feel excessive. This tour earns its price through access, activities, food, and convenience, not through speed.

Optional stops can turn the day into an even longer outing

Three optional places may be added: Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, and the Bali Handara iconic gate. These stops are useful if you want to combine the waterfalls with well-known northern Bali photo locations.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is the most substantial cultural addition of the three. Its entrance fee is not included, and adding it may stretch an already long day. Ask about timing before you commit, especially if you want a relaxed waterfall visit.

Wanagiri Hidden Hills is aimed at viewpoints and photographs. Bali Handara’s gate is another popular picture stop. Both can suit you if you enjoy building a photo-heavy day, but they are not essential to the waterfall experience.

I would decide before pickup whether you want these extras. Trying to add every stop after a demanding trek could make the return to Kuta feel late and tiring. The private format helps, but it does not eliminate distance or traffic.

What the private format really gives you

This is a private tour, so only your group participates. That matters on a physically active route. You can pause for water, spend more time taking pictures, or skip the jumping point without holding up a busload of people.

The English-speaking guide is there for the trek and local explanations. The tour promises insights and practical tips, but it does not provide a named trekking guide in the supplied details. Bobby is specifically identified as the driver, and his punctuality and willingness to accommodate stops are useful signs for the transport side of the day.

A private tour does not mean the falls will be empty. Sekumpul and Fiji are known attractions, and other people may be present at the site. What you control is your transport, guide arrangement, and group size.

The 5 out of 5 rating from 24 listed reviews, with 100 percent recommending the experience, points to strong satisfaction. I would still read that result in context: the tour suits people who want an active waterfall day and accept the long drive. It says less about how you will feel if you dislike motorbikes, wet paths, or early starts.

Who should book this waterfall day

You should consider this tour if you want:

• A private outing rather than a shared coach
• Swimming and water activities along with sightseeing
• A guide and transport arranged from your hotel
• A full northern Bali day away from Kuta
• Lunch, water, and main entrance costs bundled into one price
• Flexibility to ask for extra photo stops

It may not suit you if you want a short excursion, have limited mobility, dislike riding as a motorbike passenger, or prefer a gentle walk. The operator asks for strong physical fitness, and that is the clearest practical warning in the package.

Families with children aged 10 and above may find it workable if the child is fit and confident on uneven paths. You should assess your own group rather than rely on the age limit alone. The water activities are optional, but the walk and travel time are part of the day.

The best time to reserve it is when you can protect the entire day. Pickup begins at 7:00 am, and the outing lasts about eight to ten hours. Do not place a tight dinner booking or airport transfer immediately afterward.

What to pack for the 8 to 10 hour outing

Keep your packing simple and practical:

• Shoes with a solid grip
• Swimwear
• Towel
• Hat
• Sun block
• A complete change of clothes
• Cash for tips, local shopping, and optional costs
• A waterproof way to carry your phone

Bottled water and lunch are supplied. Alcoholic drinks are available to buy but are not part of the package. You should also bring patience for the road, since the northern journey is a major part of the schedule.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund, so check your plans before the cutoff.

Should you book Edy Smile Bali Tour?

Book it if you want an active, private day built around water, not just a scenic lookout. The combination of Sekumpul, the four-waterfall Fiji area, motorbike access, swimming, lunch, and hotel transport makes the $90 price reasonable for someone who values convenience and included extras.

Skip it if the two to three hour drive each way sounds like too much, or if you are looking for a relaxed temple and viewpoint tour. For the right person, this is a memorable change from Kuta’s beach routine. For the wrong person, it is a long day of roads and wet steps. Know which one you are booking.
