We've grouped them by region so you can plan your route easily.

Practical Waterfall-Hunting Tips
- Wear grippy footwear or hiking sandals — rocky trails are often slippery.
- The wet season brings a fuller, more beautiful flow, but trails get slipperier and water can turn murky; be careful.
- Come in the morning to avoid crowds and get the best light (especially Tukad Cepung).
- Bring cash for tickets and parking; many spots don't accept cards yet.
- Pack a change of clothes, a dry bag, and drinking water; some trails are quite long.
Because many waterfalls cluster by region — north around Munduk-Buleleng, central in Gianyar-Bangli — staying near a cluster saves time and fuel. Compare and book hotel vouchers on AccessiaPass to find a strategic base near your favorite falls at a better price than the direct rate. Map out your dream waterfall route, book your stay now, and explore Bali's hidden wonders in 2026.
