Select participants and date
You step out of the air‑conditioned van and the jungle leans in—thick green fronds, banana leaves shaking with the heat, and the sound of water already negotiating the stone below. On this full‑day private tour from Ubud, three waterfalls act like chapters in a short novel: Tukad Cepung’s light shaft that punches through a cliff, Tibumana’s clean plunge framed by palms, and Kanto Lampo’s cascading tiers that force you to slow down and listen.

Adventure Tips
Wear water‑friendly shoes
Sturdy, grippy footwear makes slippery rock and muddy approaches manageable; flip‑flops are not recommended.
Arrive early to Tukad Cepung
The light shaft is best mid‑morning and smaller crowds make accessing the canyon easier.
Bring small bills for local fees
Entrance and parking are often collected on site—bring cash (IDR) to speed things up.
Respect shrines and signs
Some falls sit near active temple sites—follow guide instructions and dress modestly when asked.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Kingfishers and herons along river edges
- Monitor lizards and tropical tree frogs near pools
History
Many waterfalls in central Bali formed as rivers cut through layers of volcanic flows and river deposits; water has long held ritual importance in Balinese Hindu practice.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths, avoid single‑use plastics, and don’t remove plants or stones—local communities rely on clean water and respectful tourism.
