The Trek Itself
The trek is designed for moderate physical fitness, which means you’ll walk on uneven paths, scramble over rocks, and navigate some steep stairs. The weather can be rainy, especially if you visit in the wet season—so sturdy, waterproof footwear is advisable. Though some reviews mention the trek in rainy weather, most agree that the waterfalls and landscape are still breathtaking.
Waterfalls and Water Slides
Your journey features two major waterfall attractions: Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfalls. These are among Bali’s most stunning, with multiple reviews describing them as “breathtaking” and “among the prettiest on Bali.” You’ll have ample opportunities to take photos, soak in the natural pools, or simply marvel at their raw beauty.
The tour’s highlight for many is the natural waterslide and water jump. These fun elements are set against the rocky riverbed, offering a playful way to cool off and add excitement. Reviewers rave about the waterslide, calling it “very fun” and “a highlight of the trip,” with some mentioning the water jump as an adrenaline rush.
Cultural and Natural Insights
Your guides are not just safety monitors—they are storytellers. Several reviews mention how guides like Sugi make the trek lively, sharing local stories, explaining the importance of the rice terraces, or pointing out unique flora. It’s this personal touch that elevates the experience from just sightseeing to a meaningful encounter with Bali’s rural lifestyle.

The Experience in Review

We love how this tour balances adventure and cultural insight. The lush scenery, combined with the thrill of water slides and waterfalls, creates a memorable day out. As one reviewer pointed out, “This trek through the beautiful rice fields of North Bali is enchanting and fun, with so many waterfalls we stopped counting.” The guides consistently earn praise for their knowledge and friendliness, making travelers feel safe and well-informed.
Many mention the stunning waterfalls as a highlight, describing them as “breathtaking” and “among the prettiest on Bali.” The natural waterslide and jumps add a playful element that sets this tour apart from more typical treks.
On the downside, the physical exertion involved might be a concern for some, especially in rainy weather. It’s worth wearing appropriate footwear and being prepared for some scrambling over rocks. Also, the tour doesn’t include breakfast, so arriving a bit hungry might be wise.
