Serene swimming pool in jungle setting, just 10-min walk through palms and bamboo bridges.

Let’s be honest: chasing waterfalls in Bali isn’t only about watching them from afar – we also want to dive in, swim around and make the most of the naturally refreshing waters.

Sunlight streams through a cliff-ravine for magical light displays, dramatic shots and adventure.

Every good photographer knows that lighting is everything, and Bali’s Tukad Cepung waterfall has got it down pat. It’s famous for its heavenly streams of light that burst through the rock and forest canopy right when the sun is at a certain point in the sky. The waterfall sits inside a ravine-like cove with a wall of water that rushes from the divine-like beams above – Tukad Cepung certainly knows how to work the camera.

5. Leke Leke Waterfall

Off-the-beaten-path treasure with jungle hike, dramatic white-water drop and calming plunge pool.

Full disclosure: I found Leke Leke Waterfall by accident. I’m glad I did, because it’s slightly off-the-beaten-path and often quieter compared to Bali’s other famous waterfalls. In fact, when I was there, I didn’t see a single other tourist (but I did visit very early in the morning!).

To get down to Leke Leke, you descend a slightly steep (but already carved) dirt track to the bottom of a lush valley. You’ll need to shimmy over a rickety bamboo bridge and through tropical jungle, but it’s not too treacherous. You’ll hear the falls before you see them, and when you do, you’ll spot the breathtaking surge of bright white water falling between a dramatic black cave.

Best for: Those who love an off-the-beaten-path treasure hunt.
Good to know: There’s a large rock at the forefront makes for the perfect perch to nab some Instagram shots. Meanwhile, the small pool of water at the falls’ base is great for a very refreshing dip.

Entrance fee: IDR 20,000.
Parking: 15-minute walk to the waterfall.

Hidden Ubud gem with cave feature, river meeting spot, mossy cliffs and peaceful natural pools.

A hidden gem in Banjar GitGit (not to be confused with GitGit Waterfall!), Goa Rang Reng is quickly becoming one of the most popular waterfalls in Bali. As soon as you arrive, 600 metres down a slippery slope, you’re greeted with clear water surrounded by lush greenery, crashing down against the stones with beautiful growing moss.
