The waterfalls in Bali are seriously popular tourist attractions and while many are accessible, and easily found with well-trodden pathways and steps, others take some planning and are more difficult to access through jungle walkways and descending slippery steps. This is the Complete Guide to the Best Bali Waterfalls, including location maps, entrance fees, safety tips, links to my recommended itineraries and advice for when to pay for local guides or travel independently.
The first thing you need to know is the term Air Terjun, which means waterfall in Balinese, and is often used on signposts on the odd occasion they appear. Some of the waterfalls are quite close to the tourist enclaves of Seminyak and Kuta, like Tegenungan Waterfall. The more spectacular ones like Aling-Aling and Gitgit are in Northern Bali close to Singaraja, and it’s quite a long journey if you’re starting your tour from Southern Bali.
Don’t forget to read the safety tips at the bottom of the page. Good luck chasing waterfalls and have a great Bali holiday!

Kato Lampo Waterfall
Local legend has it that Kanto Lampo waterfall only started flowing since a prayer ceremony in 2015. It’s been a boon for the local village as it provides some income from tourism. This small but scenic waterfall in the village of Beng in the Gianyar regency features multi-tiered cascades that flow down a series of stepping boulders. Read More
Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Tukad Cepung is quite unique among the waterfalls in Bali. It’s formed by water running down the cliffs, rather than flowing into rivers or streams. From the top the waterfall can’t be seen – you need to walk down the stairs and approach from the bottom to get the amazing view of looking up at the waterfall with the skyline in the background.
