Lemukih Hidden Trekking Waterslide Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfall

Waterfalls are only half the fun. This North Bali trek pairs Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls with a natural waterslide, water jump, rice terraces, and a local lunch. I like the practical safety setup, including a helmet and water shoes, and I like that the route connects you with Lemukih Village rather than keeping you on a standard sightseeing circuit. The main consideration is physical effort: this is a moderate trek over wet, uneven ground, not a gentle stroll.

At about $25.60 per person, the experience offers strong value if you want a full day of nature, food, drinks, guiding, and adventure. The remote setting is part of its appeal, but reaching Lemukih from Ubud takes time, and hotel transfers cost extra unless you choose that option. The trek itself lasts about five hours within an experience of roughly eight hours.

Key points at a glance

• Natural waterslide and water jump: You get more than waterfall photos, with a chance to slide and jump in a supervised setting.
• Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls: The route visits two of North Bali’s most impressive falls, with swimming possible at the waterfall area.
• Rice terraces and forest paths: Expect a changing route through village scenery, tropical forest, streams, and working agricultural areas.
• Safety equipment included: A helmet, water shoes, and a local guide make the wet sections more manageable.
• Food and drinks included: Bottled water, young coconut water, and an Indonesian lunch help make the long outing easier.
• Local guiding adds context: Guides such as Sugi and Yoga have been praised for explaining crops, trees, waterfalls, village life, and Balinese culture.

Starting in Lemukih Village

The experience begins at Lemukih Trekking Tours in Lemukih Village, in Buleleng Regency, North Bali. This is a useful change of pace from the busy southern resorts and the more polished sightseeing zones around central Ubud.

You begin among village surroundings, then move toward rice terraces, forest, and clear streams. The village setting matters because it gives the walk a local frame. You are not simply being driven to a waterfall, taking a quick picture, and leaving. The route connects the water attractions with the land and daily life around them.

The exact meeting point is R54M+XRX, Lemukih, Sawan, Buleleng Regency, Bali 81171. If you select the pickup option, hotel pickup and drop-off are included. If not, you need to arrange your own way to this remote starting point, so check the transfer choice carefully before paying.

The activity can include up to 30 people. That is a fairly large maximum for a physical route. A smaller group may feel more personal, but the local guide is still important in a larger group because the paths include slippery ground, streams, rocks, and water activities.

Rice terraces before the waterfalls

The first part of the route leads through emerald rice terraces and rural paths. This section gives you a slower introduction to North Bali than the waterslide does. You can take in the changing views, watch how the terraces shape the hills, and see the countryside that supports Lemukih Village.

I like this part because it prevents the outing from becoming a string of disconnected attractions. The terraces, crops, forest, and streams explain why the waterfalls feel so powerful here. Water is not just a photo subject. It is part of the village environment and the reason the area is so green.

The ground can be challenging. The experience is rated for people with moderate physical fitness, and that description should guide your decision. You should be comfortable walking for several hours, handling uneven paths, and moving around wet areas. A guide can show you safer places to step, but the route still requires attention from you.

Several people who have taken the experience found the scenery to be the strongest part of the day. That makes sense. The route moves from open rice fields to forest and streams, so you get variety instead of one repeated view. If you enjoy photography, carry your phone or camera in a waterproof pouch. The supplied details do not promise dry storage, and this is a water-based outing.

Reaching Sekumpul Waterfall

Sekumpul Waterfall is the main visual reward of the trek. The falls rise through a lush setting, with water dropping into a pool and spray filling the area below. Swimming under the waterfall is possible, although the conditions can vary and your guide will know where the safer spots are.

This is where the water shoes become especially useful. Regular sandals can slip, and bare feet are a poor match for wet rocks. The included footwear is not a luxury extra. It helps you deal with the route as it actually is.

The waterfall section is also a good test of expectations. You may want a quiet viewpoint with an easy path, but this experience is designed around getting closer to the water. You should expect to get wet and to scramble over rocks. One useful tip is to wear clothing that dries reasonably quickly and bring only items you can protect from water.

The natural setting is the attraction, but it also brings limits. Heavy rain can make the rainforest moodier and the route wetter. A previous outing during the wet season remained worthwhile, but the conditions were more demanding. The guide may adjust the pace or direct you away from unsafe spots. You should treat those instructions seriously, especially around fast-moving water.

Fiji Waterfall and the changing pace of the route

The trek also visits nearby Fiji Waterfall. Having two major waterfalls in one outing adds real value, especially because the walk between them includes forest, streams, and open farmland rather than a single paved corridor.

Fiji gives you another chance to enjoy the water and take pictures, but the attraction is not only the final view. The route itself keeps changing. You might move from a rice terrace into shade, cross a stream, then reach a broad waterfall area. That variety is one reason the experience feels like a full adventure rather than a short swim stop.

The descriptions of the route also include smaller waterfalls and water features. You may find that the number of streams and falls becomes hard to count as the walk continues. The exact water conditions are not fixed, so do not book this expecting every feature to look identical on every date.

This is also the portion where a local guide earns the fee. Guides including Sugi and Yoga have been praised for explaining the trees, crops, falls, and village life. Sugi is described as speaking English and French, while Yoga is described as upbeat and accommodating. Guide assignments can vary, but the local knowledge is a meaningful part of what you are buying.

The waterslide, water jump, and river fun

The natural waterslide is the most unusual feature. Instead of simply looking at Bali’s water, you get to use part of the river as a short adventure course. The experience also includes a water jump, giving the day a playful edge that standard waterfall walks do not offer.

You receive a helmet and water shoes for the water activities. That safety equipment is reassuring, but it does not remove the need for care. You should listen to the guide, follow the recommended entry points, and skip any activity that makes you uncomfortable.

Descriptions of the experience also mention sliding down the river on a tyre. The supplied tour details focus on the natural waterslide and water jump, while the firsthand accounts describe the tyre as part of the fun. Conditions can change, so think of the water activities as weather and river dependent rather than guaranteed amusement-park rides.

I see this as a good fit for people who want a little adrenaline without booking a specialist canyoning day. You are not being asked to master technical climbing or ropes, but you do need confidence in water and on slippery ground. Families and mixed-age groups should consider the fitness and comfort of each person before booking.

Lunch, coconut water, and a practical break

A local Indonesian lunch is included, along with bottled water and young coconut water. That is a welcome feature after several hours of walking and water activity.

The young coconut is more than a pleasant tropical touch. It provides a refreshing break in a warm climate, while the meal gives you time to sit down and recover before the outing ends. Breakfast is not included, so eat before the experience begins.

The meal is described as an Indonesian menu rather than a specific dish list. If you have dietary restrictions, ask the provider before booking because the supplied information does not detail substitutions or special meal arrangements.

I also like that drinks are built into the package. You do not need to depend entirely on finding a shop along a remote route. Still, bring some personal cash for extra purchases or other personal expenses, since cash is not included and tips are separate.

Finishing the route and returning by motorcycle

After the trek, a motorcycle ride takes you from the finish back to the starting point. This is a small but useful detail. You have already spent several hours walking, so avoiding a long return on foot makes the day less tiring.

The activity ends back at the meeting point in Lemukih. If you are using the pickup option, the included hotel return transfer then takes you back to your accommodation. If you arrange your own transport, plan the return carefully because the experience finishes at the original meeting point, not automatically at your hotel.

The total experience lasts about eight hours, while the trek itself is described as about five hours. That difference likely covers transport, meal time, changing, and the motorcycle transfer. Do not schedule a tight afternoon appointment in Ubud. The remote location and road time can make this a full-day commitment.

Is $25.60 good value?

At $25.60 per person, the base price is appealing for what is included. You get a local guide, entrance fees and taxes, safety equipment, food, drinks, the motorcycle ride, and access to several activities and natural sights.

The price becomes even more attractive if you can reach Lemukih independently and do not need the transfer upgrade. On the other hand, the total cost rises when you add round-trip hotel transport. For many people staying in Ubud, that extra may be worth paying simply because Lemukih is remote and the day is long.

Group discounts are available, which can improve the price for families or friends booking together. The maximum group size is 30, so ask how your selected date is organized if you care about group atmosphere. A larger group may reduce the personal feel, but it can also make the adventure more social.

The strongest value comes from the variety. A short waterfall visit may cost less, but it will not usually combine rice terraces, forest, streams, two major waterfalls, a natural slide, a water jump, lunch, coconut water, and safety gear in one outing.

Who should book this North Bali trek?

I would choose this experience if you want an active day and prefer rural Bali to crowded attractions. It suits people who enjoy walking, swimming, photography, and a bit of harmless nerve testing.

It is especially good for:

• People with moderate fitness who can walk for several hours
• Anyone who wants to see Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls in one outing
• Visitors who value local guiding and village context
• Adventure-seekers who want a natural waterslide and water jump
• Small groups looking for a full-day outdoor activity
• Photographers who enjoy rice terraces, forest, streams, and waterfalls

I would think twice if you dislike getting wet, struggle on uneven paths, or want a relaxed sightseeing day with minimal exertion. The supplied information does not provide an accessibility rating, so anyone with mobility concerns should contact Gede Bali Tour before booking.

The experience is suitable for a maximum of 30 people, and all participants should have moderate physical fitness. The helmet and water shoes help, but they do not turn a rough trail into a flat one.

Booking, cancellation, and what to bring

Confirmation arrives when you book. Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund.

Wear clothes that can get wet, use the supplied water shoes, and protect electronics. Bring cash for personal expenses and tips. Since breakfast is not included, eat beforehand.

If you are coming from Ubud, decide early if you want hotel pickup. The base meeting point is in Lemukih Village, and the remote setting is central to the experience. This is not the kind of activity you should leave to a last-minute morning decision, especially since it is booked about 12 days ahead on average.

Should you book it?

Yes, if you want a physical, water-filled day in North Bali and you are happy to trade easy access for more rural scenery. The combination of Sekumpul, Fiji, rice terraces, local food, coconut water, and a natural waterslide gives you a lot for the price.

Book with realistic expectations. This is a moderate trek on wet and uneven ground, not a simple waterfall viewpoint. Choose the transfer option if reaching Lemukih is inconvenient, follow the guide’s safety advice, and leave plenty of time for the full eight-hour outing. For an active visitor who wants Bali beyond the usual stops, this is one of the stronger-value nature experiences in the Ubud area.
