All inclusive Bali Sekumpul Waterfalls Trekking Tour

The best part of this day is the way it gets you beyond Bali’s beach belt and into the rural north. After a two to three-hour drive from Denpasar, you switch to a motorbike for the approach to Sekumpul Waterfall, then walk toward a group of cascades where swimming, sliding, and jumping are part of the fun.

I like the private pickup and drop-off, since you do not have to find a meeting point in an unfamiliar area. I also like the honest all-in pricing: lunch, bottled water, entrance fees, motorbike transfers, and a trekking guide are covered.

The catch is the long day and the physical effort. You should have a strong fitness level, wear proper shoes, and accept that much of the day is spent on the road. The optional temple, hill, and gate stops cost extra.

Key points at a glance

• Motorbike access to Lemukih: Ride from the village to the trekking start instead of spending the entire approach on foot.
• Two waterfall areas in one outing: Visit Sekumpul first, then continue to Fiji Waterfall and its group of cascades.
• Swimming and river activities: Bring swimwear for the water slide, jumping point, and supervised swimming areas.
• A private day for your own group: Transport and guiding are arranged for your party rather than a large shared group.
• A useful early start: Pickup is scheduled for 7:00 a.m., giving you a full day for the northern Bali outing.
• Optional photo stops: Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, and the Bali Handara gate may be added, with separate entrance fees.

Why Sekumpul makes the long northern journey worthwhile

Sekumpul is the main reason to choose this excursion. It is in Lemukih village, well away from the busy south Bali resort area, and the route combines road travel, a motorbike ride, and a walk. That variety makes the day feel like an outing rather than a simple stop at a viewpoint.

You leave your hotel at about 7:00 a.m. and spend roughly two to three hours reaching the area from Denpasar. The exact road time depends on your pickup point and conditions, but you should think of this as a full-day commitment, not a quick morning trip.

On arrival, the motorbike transfer takes you to the beginning of the trekking route. This is a useful feature for anyone who wants to reach the waterfalls without adding a longer village approach on foot. It is also one of the more memorable parts of the journey, since the ride gives the outing a small sense of adventure before the walking begins.

The Sekumpul section is listed at about 30 minutes, with admission included. That does not mean the entire day lasts only 30 minutes at the falls. It refers to the stated stop duration, while the wider outing includes the motorbike transfers, walking, time at the water, lunch, and the later Fiji section.

Bring a camera, but keep it secure around the water. The tour is designed to include good photo locations, and the falls offer a more dramatic subject than the usual roadside Bali stop. Your guide can also point out places that work well for photographs instead of leaving you to search on your own.

Fiji Waterfall brings more time in the water

After Sekumpul, the tour continues to Fiji Waterfall, also written as Fili Waterfall in the supplied details. This part lasts about two hours and includes a group of roughly four waterfalls in a deep valley.

The route includes two side-by-side waterfalls, with one described as spring water. That detail gives the stop a little more character than a standard waterfall visit. You are not simply looking at one cascade, then returning to the vehicle. The plan gives you time for water activities and for seeing several falls in the same area.

Pack swimwear. The tour includes access to a jumping point and a river slide, along with a safety helmet and a supervisor. Bottled water and lunch are also provided, which matters after a morning of walking and outdoor activity.

You should take the safety setup seriously. A helmet and supervisor are included, but the tour still requires good judgment around wet surfaces and moving water. If you do not want to jump or use the slide, you can focus on the scenery and swimming opportunities instead, but the package is aimed at people who want an active day.

The wording for the Fiji stop suggests about two hours, which is enough time to enjoy the water without making the whole visit feel rushed. Still, conditions, walking pace, and the time spent at Sekumpul may affect the exact rhythm of the day.

A private tour with a practical setup

This is a private activity, so only your group takes part. That gives you more control than a large shared excursion. You can ask the guide to explain the area, help with photo spots, or adjust the pace within the limits of the day.

An English-speaking trekking guide accompanies you, while private transportation handles the hotel transfer. Bobby is one named driver associated with the experience, and he is described as punctual and willing to accommodate requested stops. Driver availability can vary, so do not assume Bobby will be assigned to every booking.

The motorbike transfer is included both to and from the trekking start point. This saves time and adds a local touch, but it may not suit everyone. If you are uneasy on a motorbike, ask about the arrangement before booking. The supplied information does not specify the motorbike type, seating setup, or alternative transport.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are a strong part of the value. Northern Bali’s waterfall areas are not close to Kuta, and arranging your own transport would mean dealing with a long drive, directions, and parking. Here, the logistics are handled in one package.

What the $90 price really covers

At $90 per person, this is not the cheapest way to see a waterfall. The value comes from the number of moving parts included in the price.

You get private transportation, an English-speaking guide, motorbike transfers, bottled water, lunch, waterfall admission, and supervised access to the jumping point and river slide. Those inclusions reduce the small expenses that can make a long Bali day harder to budget.

The price also covers more than a viewpoint visit. You are paying for a full outing from Kuta, with a local guide and a second waterfall area built into the day. For a private group, that is a more useful comparison than looking only at the entrance price for Sekumpul.

There are still a few costs to watch. Alcoholic drinks are not included, though they can be purchased. Entrance fees for the optional stops are also separate. If you add Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, or the Bali Handara iconic gate, set aside extra cash.

The tour asks you to bring cash for local shopping and tips. That is a small but practical point. Carry enough for those needs without assuming every expense is covered by the $90 price.

Optional stops can make the day too full

Three optional additions are offered: Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, and the Bali Handara iconic gate.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is the most substantial of the three as a cultural stop. It gives you a chance to add a temple visit to a day otherwise focused on nature and physical activity. Its entrance fee is not included.

Wanagiri Hidden Hills is aimed at scenic views and photographs. If you want a few extra picture stops, it may fit your interests. Again, the entrance fee is extra.

The Bali Handara gate is another popular photo stop. It is easy to understand why it appeals to people building a picture-focused day, but adding several stops after a long waterfall outing could make the return journey feel tiring.

I would not automatically add all three. The core waterfall trip already includes several hours on the road, walking, water activities, lunch, and two waterfall areas. Choose an optional stop only if your group has the energy and the additional fee is worth it to you.

Fitness, clothing, and what to pack

The operator states that you should have a strong physical fitness level. Take that seriously. This is not a vehicle-only sightseeing trip, and the day includes walking in a waterfall setting, motorbike transfers, and water activities.

Wear shoes rather than sandals if possible. The packing advice specifically calls for shoes, a towel, a hat, sun block, and a change of clothes. Swimwear is also important, since the tour includes swimming opportunities, a water slide, and a jumping point.

A change of clothes is especially useful after the Fiji section. You may get wet even if you do not use every activity, and the long ride back to your hotel will be more comfortable if you can change.

The minimum age is 10. That does not mean every child over 10 will find the day easy. Your child should be comfortable with the walking, motorbike transfer, and water activities. The strong-fitness requirement applies to the whole group.

Lunch and bottled water are included, so you do not need to plan a separate meal stop. Alcohol is not part of the package, but it is available to buy.

What works well, and what may test your patience

The strongest feature is the combination of access and activity. Sekumpul is not treated as a quick photo stop. You reach the rural area by private vehicle, transfer by motorbike, walk to the falls, and then continue to another waterfall area with time in the water.

The private format is another clear advantage. You avoid joining a large group and can spend the day with your own companions. Pickup at 7:00 a.m. also removes the need to arrange your own meeting point.

The main weakness is distance. A two to three-hour drive each way can take a large share of the day, especially if you are staying in Kuta. If your priority is a relaxed morning with little time in a car, this is the wrong outing.

The route also demands energy. Wet outdoor activities are fun when you are ready for them, but the combination of walking, heat, sun, and a long return drive can wear you down. Pack the listed items, follow the guide’s instructions, and do not feel obliged to use the jumping point or slide.

There is also a small clarity issue around the waterfall name. The main details call it Fiji Waterfall, while the stop description uses Fili Waterfall. This does not change the planned visit, but you can confirm the name and exact meeting details when booking.

Who should book this waterfall day

I would recommend this tour to you if you want an active northern Bali excursion with private transport and more than one waterfall. It suits adults, families with children aged 10 or older who meet the fitness requirement, and small groups that value a flexible private setup.

It is especially useful if you are staying in Kuta and do not want to arrange a long drive to Lemukih yourself. The included lunch, water, admission, guide, and motorbike transfers make the day easier to manage.

I would think twice if you dislike motorbikes, wet activities, long drives, or physical walking. The package is not built around a short scenic stop. It is built around getting to the falls and spending active time there.

For photography, it offers good potential through the two waterfall areas and optional stops. For culture, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple can add balance, but it is not part of the included core tour and costs extra.

Booking, cancellation, and final advice

Confirmation is provided at booking, and free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations made inside that window are not accepted for a refund.

I would book this tour if Sekumpul is high on your Bali list and you want the transport, guide, lunch, and water activities arranged in one private package. The $90 price is easier to justify when you use the included motorbike transfer, waterfall access, and full-day transport.

I would skip it if you want a short outing close to Kuta or prefer a calm sightseeing day. For everyone else, this is a practical way to reach Bali’s northern waterfalls, provided you arrive ready for a long road journey and a real physical outing.
