North Bali has a real waterslide trek. I love the waterslide safety kit with a helmet and water shoes, and I also love how the Sekumpul Waterfall time feels thrilling yet refreshingly organized. If you hate getting wet or don’t like rocky trails, this one might test your comfort level.

You’ll start from Lemukih Village and move through rice terraces, tropical forest, and clear streams where daily life quietly runs in the background. Guides like Sugi (English/French-speaking and big on local context) and Yoga (upbeat and accommodating) set the tone: practical, friendly, and focused on where to go safely and what you’re seeing.

One possible drawback: it’s built for moderate trekkers. The route includes scrambling and water features, and in wetter conditions it can feel slick underfoot.

Key things that make this trek worth it

• Waterslide safety included: helmet and water shoes help you focus on fun, not worry.
• Sekumpul plus Fiji Waterfall: two waterfall moments instead of one.
• Helmeted, guided water play: you don’t just wander in and hope for the best.
• Rice terraces and forest, not just waterfalls: the walk matters here.
• Coconut water and lunch included: easy to stay fueled without hunting for food.

Lemukih and North Bali: why this feels off the usual route

This is a North Bali day that trades the “big ticket, photo-only” rhythm for a slower, more hands-on outdoors experience. The tour takes you into Lemukih and the surrounding countryside, where the scenery is clearly rural: rice paddies, green trails, and stream crossings that feel more like getting to know the area than checking boxes.

The waterslide is the headline, but what I like is how the day strings together multiple natural moments. You get trekking time, then waterfall time, then water-play time. By the end, it feels like you spent the day outdoors with a plan, not just showed up at a waterfall.

From Lemukih Village into rice terraces and jungle streams

The experience starts at Lemukih Village, with a local guide and a trail that runs through emerald rice terraces and lush tropical forest. The pacing is aimed at moderate trekkers, so you’re moving steadily, not stuck in a long, flat walk.

It’s also the kind of trail where your guide’s local knowledge actually matters. You’re not just looking for a view; you’re following the safest path through uneven ground, and you’ll be routed toward the best places to cool off when waterfalls come into play.

A good practical tip: wear footwear you can scramble in. You’ll be around rocks and wet surfaces, and water shoes are provided for the slide portion, but you still need to walk to get there comfortably.

Sekumpul Waterfall: refreshing swim time with a safety-first setup

Sekumpul Waterfall is the “wow” stop for many people, and the key difference here is that it’s not a rushed viewpoint moment. You get time to swim in the waterfall area, which changes the whole experience from standing still to actually feeling the water.

What makes it better is the guidance. A good guide is constantly thinking about where the water is safer to enter and exit, and where you can move around without slipping or getting stuck. Guides such as Sugi are known for pointing out the best and safest spots, plus sharing context about the waterfalls and the area.

If you go in rainy season, expect the waterfall experience to stay spectacular but slightly messier underfoot. In wetter weather, you’ll want to move carefully and let the guide lead the order of where everyone goes.

Fiji Waterfall adds more than a second photo stop

After Sekumpul, you continue to Fiji Waterfall for another waterfall moment—helping you get more variety in one outing. Instead of one “main event,” you get two separate settings for swimming and cooling off.

This matters because waterfalls can feel similar when you only see one. Two stops give you a better sense of how water behaves across the region—different angles, different pools, and different spots to stand, sit, or take a quick breather.

Even if you’re mainly there for the waterslide, this second waterfall stop keeps the day from turning into a single frantic adrenaline burst.

The Lemukih waterslide and water jump: where the day turns playful

The waterslide in Lemukih is the part that makes people smile before the hike is even done. It’s described as a natural waterslide with a water jump component—so you’re not just watching from above. You’re participating, and the whole thing is built around managing risk in a place where nature does what nature does.

That’s why the included helmet and water shoes are such a big deal. You’ll have gear meant for sliding and moving around on wet surfaces, and you’ll be guided so you’re not guessing your way into the fun.

One extra detail that stands out from the experience: you may slide down the river on a tyre as part of the waterslide run. That kind of setup is exactly why a helmet helps. You’ll feel the speed and the water movement, but you’ll do it with equipment designed for it.

What you actually get: lunch, coconut water, and bottled water

This tour isn’t just a hike with random snack options. It includes practical food and hydration so you can focus on moving and enjoying the day.

You’ll get:

• Bottled water
• Young coconut water (a real local-style refreshment)
• An Indonesian lunch (local menu)

This is valuable because a day with waterfalls and water play can drain you faster than you expect. Having food and drinks handled means you won’t be budgeting energy for searching in between stops.

You’ll also notice the “motor cycle back from finish to starting point” detail. That matters because it keeps the day from dragging on at the end. You finish where the trek ends, then get transported back to the meeting point rather than hiking the same route in reverse.

Duration, groups, and timing that keep the day manageable

The tour duration is listed at about 8 hours. The trekking portion is described as around 5 hours, so your day includes travel time, stops, and the water moments—not just walking in a straight line for hours.

Group size is capped at 30 travelers. That’s big enough to feel like a group day, but small enough that a guide can still manage movement during entry/exit at water spots and during the waterslide segment.

Pickup is offered if you select the option. If you’re staying in Ubud and don’t want to worry about timing, that’s a big convenience point. There’s also mention of an upgrade for round-trip transfers to the remote location, which is worth considering if you want less stress getting out there.

Also check how you’ll receive your ticket. This experience uses a mobile ticket.

Practical gear and packing notes (so you don’t regret it)

Even with water shoes and a helmet included, you’ll want to plan like you’re doing a serious wet day outdoors.

Pack the basics:

• A change of clothes for after (you will want dry things soon after waterfalls)
• A small towel or something similar, if you have one
• Sunscreen and insect repellent, especially if you’re prone to being bothered on forest trails
• Water-friendly sandals only if you’re comfortable walking in them on rocks (otherwise keep your approach shoes)

One more smart move: don’t bring anything you can’t get wet or that you’ll panic about if it splashes. The day is centered on water.

Price and value: what $25.60 really buys you

At about $25.60 per person, this is priced like a “do-it-yourself adventure,” but it includes real structure. You’re paying for a guided route plus key safety and comfort pieces.

Here’s what you’re getting for the money:

• Local trekking guide
• Helmet and water shoes for the slide portion
• Lunch (Indonesian menu)
• Bottled water and young coconut water
• Hotel pickup/drop-off if you choose it
• Fees and taxes included
• Motor cycle back from the finish to the starting point

What’s not included is also clear: breakfast, tips, and personal cash for anything extra you want. The biggest hidden value is that the tour solves multiple needs at once: transportation options, food, and equipment. That’s why it often feels like better value than paying separately for a driver and then trying to arrange a guided waterfall day.

If you’re with friends, ask about group discounts since group pricing exists. The base price is already solid, so discounts can make it even easier to justify.

Who this trek suits best (and who should think twice)

This is a strong match for:

• Adventure-seekers who like water-based fun and don’t mind a bit of scrambling
• People who want North Bali’s countryside feel—rice terraces, forest, and streams—not just the headline waterfalls
• Anyone comfortable joining a group and following a local guide through active terrain

It may not be ideal if you:

• Prefer flat, easy walks with no slipping risk
• Hate getting wet or don’t want to participate in the slide/water jump side
• Want a purely sightseeing day with mostly dry viewpoints

This is also a good choice if you’re already in Ubud and want something different from the usual temple-and-beach loop. The day feels outdoors and rural, with water features that actually let you play.

Should you book the Lemukih waterslide, Sekumpul, and Fiji trek?

I’d book it if you’re traveling in Bali for experiences that feel hands-on. You get a guided hike through rice terraces and forest, plus two major waterfall stops, plus the main attraction: a natural waterslide and water jump with helmet and water shoes.

I’d hesitate if you’re expecting an easy stroll or if you’re not comfortable with wet, rocky terrain. Also, if you’re the type who likes to eat a full breakfast before any activity, plan for it since breakfast isn’t included.

If your idea of a great Bali day is: good food, good local guiding, and a memorable water adventure you can safely enjoy, this one fits.
