Bali Waterfall & Canyon Day Tour — Kanto Lampo, Tibumana & Tukad Cepung
Select participants and date
The minivan eases off the coastal road and the air shifts—salt gives way to damp forest and the smell of earth. After an hour the jungle takes over, ferns brushing the windows, and your guide points to a narrow trail where sunlight slices through high leaves. The tour unspools like a chaptered map: a mountainside viewpoint, the stepped rush of Kanto Lampo, the swim-ready pool of Tibumana and the cathedral light of Tukad Cepung, a waterfall that pours through a chasm like a curtain being pulled back.

Adventure Tips
Wear grippy shoes
Trails include slick rock and shallow stream crossings—closed-toe water shoes or trail shoes with good traction reduce slips.
Bring a dry bag
Phones and cameras will get wet near plunge pools; a small dry bag protects electronics and snacks.
Start early
Arrive at the first waterfall before 9am to avoid crowds and harsh midday light for photos.
Carry local cash
Small entrances, warung meals and tips are often cash-only—bring rupiah to cover small expenses.
