All inclusive Bali Sekumpul Waterfalls Trekking Tour

Water, stone, and a long day in the hills. This private tour takes you from Kuta to rural Lemukih for a guided trek to Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls, with motorbike transfers, lunch, drinks, entrance fees, and hotel pickup included. I like the door-to-door transport, which removes the headache of reaching a remote trailhead, and I like the chance to swim, slide, and jump beneath the falls instead of simply taking a photo from a viewpoint.

The main trade-off is the distance. The drive from Denpasar takes about two to three hours each way, and the trek requires strong physical fitness. At $90 per person, the price is fair for a private full-day outing with food, equipment, and transfers included, but it is not a quick side trip from the beach.

Key details before you book

• Two major waterfall areas: Visit Sekumpul first, then continue to Fiji Waterfall, a group of about four cascades in a deep valley.
• Motorbike access: Ride from Lemukih village to the trekking start point, both before and after the walk.
• Swimming and river activities: Bring swimwear for water slides, swimming, and jumping points supervised with a safety helmet.
• Hotel pickup at 7:00 a.m.: The early start helps you fit a remote northern Bali excursion into one day.
• Private tour format: Your group participates on its own, with private transportation and an English-speaking trekking guide.
• Included value: Lunch, bottled water, refreshments, core entrance fees, and transport are covered. Optional temple and photo stops may cost extra.

Why Sekumpul makes a better day trip than a quick photo stop

Sekumpul is not a roadside waterfall where you hop out, snap three pictures, and climb back into a car. The tour brings you into Lemukih village, then shifts you onto a motorbike for the ride to the trailhead. That change is part of the fun, and it also solves a practical problem: the waterfalls sit well away from Bali’s southern resort zone.

The morning pickup is scheduled for 7:00 a.m. From Kuta or another southern Bali base, you should expect roughly two to three hours on the road to Lemukih. That is a long transfer, but it gives you access to one of the island’s major waterfall areas without arranging separate transport, local directions, or entrance payment.

I especially like the motorbike transfer because it gives the day a rural feel. You are not simply being delivered to a polished attraction. You ride toward the walking route, then continue under your own power on foot. The operator supplies transportation back to the trekking start point after the activity as well.

The private format matters here. You do not have to match the pace of a large mixed group, and you can ask the guide for help with the route, photographs, or the water activities. The available information does not promise a fully flexible schedule, so you should still confirm any special requests when booking.

The Sekumpul route and its waterfall views

The first major stop is Sekumpul Waterfall. The listed activity time is about 30 minutes, though the full walking experience naturally depends on the route, stops, and time spent in the water. The area is known for dramatic cascades set among Bali’s northern hills, and this is the part of the day built around the classic waterfall views.

Your guide can point out good places for photographs and offer local advice as you move through the area. That help is useful because the best picture is not always taken from the first open viewpoint. You will want to protect your phone and camera, since the tour includes wet activities and close access to falling water.

The walking portion calls for real effort. The operator recommends a strong level of physical fitness, and the minimum age is 10. Shoes are specifically recommended, so leave flip-flops in your hotel room. Wet, uneven paths and water access are easier to manage with footwear that stays securely on your feet.

This is also the point where you should judge your own comfort. You may be able to enjoy the scenery without taking every water activity, but the tour is designed around an active waterfall experience rather than a passive sightseeing stop. If you dislike slippery paths, swimming, or physical exertion, the long journey may not feel worthwhile.

Fiji Waterfall brings more water play

After Sekumpul, the trip continues to Fiji Waterfall. The listed time here is about two hours, giving you more room for the active part of the outing. Fiji is described as an area containing about four waterfalls, with two side-by-side cascades visible along the way. One of those is fed entirely by spring water.

The setting is a deep valley, which gives this portion of the tour a different feel from a single lookout. You move through a waterfall area rather than stopping at one isolated cascade. The exact walking order and length can vary with conditions, so ask your guide how much time you will have for each section.

The tour includes access to a jumping point and a river water slide, with a safety helmet and supervisor provided. That is a meaningful inclusion. It does not remove the need for caution, but it means the activity is not simply an unsupervised leap into unfamiliar water.

Bring a swimsuit, towel, and a complete change of clothes. The supplied advice also calls for shoes, a hat, sunblock, and cash for local shopping or a tip. Pack the change of clothes where you can reach it after the waterfall portion, not at the bottom of a bag buried in the vehicle.

You should also be honest about your swimming ability. The information confirms swimming, sliding, and jumping opportunities, but it does not give water depths or list alternate arrangements for anyone who cannot swim. If you are unsure about an activity, ask the guide and skip it if it feels unsafe.

The long drive is part of the price calculation

The $90 price makes the most sense when you count what you would otherwise need to arrange. The tour includes private transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off, a trekking guide, motorbike transfers, bottled water, lunch, and core entrance fees. That package protects you from several small charges adding up during a remote day out.

Lunch is included, which is particularly helpful on an eight to ten-hour excursion. You do not need to spend time hunting for a meal between the two waterfall areas, and bottled water is provided. Alcoholic drinks are not included, though they are available for purchase.

The value is less convincing if you are staying close to northern Bali and only want a short waterfall visit. In that case, the private southern pickup and long return drive may be unnecessary. For someone based in Kuta who wants the whole day handled, the price is easier to defend.

Group discounts are offered, but the tour itself is private. That combination can work well for families or friends who want to share the cost while keeping the outing to their own party. The minimum age is 10, and the physical demands mean that age alone does not determine suitability.

What the driver and guide add to the day

A good guide matters more at a remote waterfall than at a standard city attraction. You need help finding the correct trail, understanding the timing, handling the wet sections, and choosing sensible places for photographs. The tour includes an English-speaking trekking guide, so you can ask questions as you go rather than simply follow a route in silence.

One review specifically praises Bobby, the driver, for arriving on time and being willing to accommodate requested stops. That is a useful sign for a full-day outing, since punctual pickup protects your time at the waterfalls. It also suggests you may be able to discuss extra stops, but you should not assume every request is included or possible.

The company, Edy Smile Bali Tour, is described as a legal Bali tour company managed by Balinese people. That local connection fits the tour well. You are not just buying a transfer to a famous site, but a guided visit through Lemukih, where local transport and trail knowledge make the day easier.

The available rating information is very strong: 24 reviews, a five-star average, and a 100 percent recommendation figure. One detailed review rates the trip four out of five and highlights Bobby, the motorbike ride, and the trek. I would read that as a good sign, while still keeping the long drive and fitness requirement in mind.

Optional stops can turn the day into a longer circuit

The tour offers optional visits to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, and the Bali Handara Iconic Gate. These are useful add-ons if you want photographs or a broader northern Bali circuit, but they are not the core waterfall experience.

Entrance fees for optional stops are not included. That distinction matters because the advertised all-inclusive price applies to the main tour inclusions, not every possible extra attraction. Carry cash for additional admissions, local purchases, or a tip.

You should also ask how an optional stop affects the schedule. The basic day already includes a two to three-hour drive to Lemukih, a trek at Sekumpul, a longer visit at Fiji, lunch, and the return journey. Adding several photo stops could make an already full day even longer.

Ulun Danu Beratan is the clearest choice if you want a temple stop, while Wanagiri and Handara suit people looking for recognizable photo locations. If the waterfalls are your priority, I would keep optional stops limited rather than squeeze the main activity.

What to pack for a wet, active day

The packing list is simple, but each item has a job:

• Sturdy shoes for the trail
• Swimwear for the pools and water activities
• A towel
• A full change of clothes
• Hat and sunblock
• Cash for local shopping or a tip
• A phone or camera protected from spray

You should expect to get wet. Even if you skip the slide or jumping point, the tour brings you close to waterfalls and river areas. A waterproof pouch would be sensible, though it is not listed as an included item.

The tour provides a safety helmet and a supervisor for the jumping point and river slide. You still need to listen carefully to instructions and decide which activities match your ability. The staff can supervise the activity, but they cannot make a personal fitness or swimming decision for you.

Because pickup begins at 7:00 a.m., prepare your clothes and bag the night before. A slow hotel breakfast can make the morning rushed, especially if the hotel is not in central Kuta or if your pickup route is busy.

Who will enjoy this tour most

I would recommend this outing to you if you want a full day away from Bali’s beach areas and prefer active sightseeing. It suits couples, families with older children, and small groups of friends who like walking, swimming, and photographs more than sitting in a vehicle all day.

It is also a good match if you value convenience. Hotel pickup, private transport, local guiding, motorbike transfers, lunch, water, and core admission are bundled together. You pay more than you might for a simple local visit, but you avoid arranging several separate pieces.

I would hesitate to recommend it to you if you have limited mobility, poor physical fitness, or no interest in water activities. The operator requires strong physical fitness, sets the minimum age at 10, and describes a real trek. The drive alone can take four to six hours round trip from the southern resort area.

You should also think carefully about Bali traffic and your tolerance for a long day. The listed duration is eight to ten hours, but the drive from Denpasar and optional stops can shape the day. The waterfalls are the reason to go, so do not add extras unless you are comfortable returning late.

Should you book the Sekumpul and Fiji trek?

Book this tour if you want Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls handled as one private outing from Kuta. The strongest reasons are the door-to-door service, included lunch and refreshments, motorbike access, and the chance to swim and use a supervised water slide rather than only view the falls from afar.

The $90 price is reasonable for the package, especially for two or more people sharing a private vehicle. Before booking, make sure you are ready for the early start, long drive, wet trail, and physical effort. Confirm the pickup location and any optional stops, and remember that optional entrance fees cost extra.

Free cancellation is available when you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations made later are not accepted for a refund. If your schedule is firm and your fitness is suitable, this is a practical way to trade one beach day for a memorable northern Bali adventure.
