All inclusive Bali Sekumpul Waterfalls Trekking Tour
Book on Viator →Operated by Edy Smile Bali Tour · Bookable on Viator
Sekumpul feels like a secret you can actually reach. This all-inclusive Bali waterfalls day takes you to Lemukih and pairs a full waterfall route with hotel pickup, lunch, refreshments, and entrance fees so you don’t have to play the cost-hunting game. I also love the motorbike transfer part—less scrambling across Bali roads, more time spent on the trail and the water.
You get an English-speaking trekking guide plus a setup designed for real waterfall time. From the Sekumpul stop to the Fili/Fiji cluster, there’s clear structure to the day, and the tour includes motorbike rides to the trail start and back. The main drawback is that it asks for strong physical fitness—this isn’t a slow stroll, and you should be ready to walk and move around comfortably.
A nice detail I’d watch for: the best water moments are weather- and current-dependent, and there’s a swim/jump-style area with a helmet and supervisor. Plan to bring the right gear (shoes, towel, hat, sunscreen, and a change of clothes), and you’ll be set for a long day that runs about 8 to 10 hours.

Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfalls: Why This Trek Works as an All-Day Plan

Sekumpul and the Fiji (Fili) waterfall area sit in that sweet spot: dramatic enough for photos, but accessible enough to turn into a full day experience. You’re not just looking from a viewpoint—you’re walking through the valley route and spending time at multiple cascades. That’s the big difference between a quick stop and a proper waterfall trek.
This tour also reads like someone thought about your schedule. Pickup is set early (7:00), you get transport to the Lemukih area, and the route is timed so you can enjoy water moments without wasting hours figuring out where to go next. And because entrance fees, lunch, and refreshments are included, you can focus on the day instead of tallying add-ons.

Getting There: 7:00 Pickup and the Motorbike Transfer to Lemukih

The day starts with pickup from your hotel at 07:00. From there, it’s about 2 to 3 hours driving to Lemukih village from the Denpasar area, which means you’ll see more than just the coastline. If you like seeing Bali’s interior and not only the resort zone, this is a smart use of your time.
Once you arrive, you don’t jump straight into walking. The tour has a motorbike transfer to the trekking start point, and that’s one of the most enjoyable parts if you’re comfortable on a bike. It also makes sense practically: you reduce the long approach trek and get earlier access to the real waterfall route.
One thing to keep in mind: you’ll be changing environments quickly—car rides, then motorbike rides, then walking with water conditions ahead. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take that into account before you go.
Stop One: Sekumpul Waterfall—Photo Spots and Short, Focused Time

Sekumpul is the headline stop, and the tour gives it a dedicated slot: about 30 minutes with admission included. That duration is short enough that it doesn’t turn into a waiting game, but long enough to enjoy the waterfall area and adjust your photos and timing.
What I like about how Sekumpul is handled here is the pacing. You’re moving through the day with clear segments—arrive, enjoy Sekumpul, then continue onward—so you’re not stuck in one spot all morning while the rest of the route gets shorter later. It’s especially useful if you want both waterfalls without turning the trek into an all-day grind.
Drawback? If you’re the type who wants long photography sessions with zero time pressure, you may feel that 30 minutes is just the start. Still, it’s a good trade for getting the full Sekumpul plus Fiji route in one outing.
Stop Two: Fili (Fiji) Waterfalls—A Cluster With Spring-Water Detail

After Sekumpul, the route continues to the Fili/Fiji waterfall area, which includes about four waterfalls. On the way in, you’ll see two side-by-side waterfalls, and one of them is described as 100% spring water—a cool detail if you like knowing where the water is coming from instead of just seeing it.
The waterfalls sit in a deep valley, which is part of the reason this area feels special. It tends to look different from top-down viewpoints because the water and rock sit on a vertical scale. It also affects your sense of sound and mist; you’ll likely feel like you’re stepping into the water’s world, not just photographing it.
The stop is about 2 hours with admission included, so you get more time here than at Sekumpul. That extra time matters because waterfall areas aren’t static—you’ll want to adjust your footing, take photos from different angles, and decide how much swim or slide time to use without rushing.
Swim, Slide, and the Safety Setup You’ll Be Glad Exists

This tour is built for active water time. You’re expected to bring swimwear, and there are plenty of opportunities to slide and swim near the river area. There’s also access to a jumping point and water slide area, and the tour includes a safety helmet and supervisor for that section.
That safety detail is more than a checkbox. It’s the kind of practical planning that helps you focus on fun without feeling totally on your own. If you’re traveling with kids or you just don’t want to guess at safety rules, this setup makes the water portion feel more structured.
What to pack for this part is critical:
- shoes that can handle wet ground
- towel
- hat and sunscreen
- a change of clothes for afterward
Also remember that the water area can be slick. If your shoes aren’t stable, you’ll feel it fast, and your experience will shift from exploring to carefully tiptoeing.
Lunch and Included Costs: What You’re Actually Paying For

At $90 per person, the value is mainly about what’s already handled. The tour includes lunch, bottled water, entrance fees, and refreshments—so you’re not doing the math mid-day while you’re hungry and wet.
This matters on waterfall days. If you’ve ever planned a trek and then been hit with surprise fees for entry and food, you know how quickly the day stops feeling like a deal. Here, the price is positioned as all-in for the core experience.
Alcohol isn’t included, but it’s available to purchase. That’s normal for an active day where you’ll be walking and using water areas, so you’re not being pressured into anything.
One more practical detail: the tour asks you to bring some cash for locals shopping or tipping. That’s your reminder that the day supports people on the ground, and a little cash can go a long way without interrupting the schedule.
Optional Stops: Temples, Wanagiri Hills, and the Handara Gate

The itinerary leaves space for optional additions, which is great if you want to shape the day to your interests. You can add:
- Ulun danu beratan temple
- Wanagiri hidden hills
- Bali handara iconic gate
These stops are marked as optional, and entrance fees for optional stops are not included. So treat them as a budget add-on and decide based on time and your energy level.
My practical advice: choose one optional stop max if you’re also planning lots of water time. You’re already looking at an 8 to 10 hour day, and waterfall days drain energy differently than beach days. If you add too much, you may enjoy fewer moments fully.
Group Size, Transport Style, and Who This Tour Fits Best

This is a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. You’ll still have a guide, and you’ll move through the route with the structure of a trekking day, but you won’t be mixed into a larger crowd tour unless your group is already sizable.
Transport is a mix: private transportation for the drive, plus motorbike transfers to and from the trekking start point. That combo is exactly why this trek works well if you want more than a single waterfall photo—you’re getting to the real access points efficiently.
Who it suits:
- active travelers who want a real walk, not just a look
- people who like swimming and short adventure activities
- travelers who prefer hotel pickup to avoid meeting-point stress
Who should think twice:
- anyone who doesn’t want to be on their feet for much of the day
- people who struggle with wet, uneven ground
The minimum age is 10 years, and the tour specifies that you should have strong physical fitness. If that’s not you, you might find another gentler day tour fits better.
The Edy Smile Bali Team Experience: Local Feel With Real Structure
The tour is operated by Edy Smile Bali Tour, described as a legal Bali tour company managed by original Balinese people. That local setup is often what you want on island day trips: someone who knows the routes, the timing, and the practical realities of getting you to waterfalls safely.
One review detail that stands out is the driver experience. Bobby is mentioned as punctual and flexible with stops you wanted—exactly the kind of responsiveness that makes hotel pickup feel less stressful. When your day includes early pickup, long driving, and multiple stops, punctual transport matters.
You’ll also have an English-speaking trekking guide, which helps if you want context while you walk and you don’t want to rely on guesswork for what you’re seeing.
Should You Book This Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfalls Trek?
Book it if you want one organized day that covers Sekumpul + the Fili/Fiji waterfall cluster, includes entrance fees and lunch, and gives you a proper active-water experience with safety gear. At $90, the value is strongest because the core costs are built in, and you’re not stuck managing add-ons mid-day.
Skip or reconsider if you don’t like physical activity, wet walking, or you’d rather do waterfalls with minimal movement. The tour is designed for people who can handle the day: early start, trekking time, and water sections.
If you’re the kind of traveler who reads a day plan and thinks, yes, I can handle that, this is a solid choice. You’ll come away with more than photos—you’ll have a full, structured waterfall outing that doesn’t quietly nickel-and-dime you at every turn.
