Full-Day Private Bali Waterfalls Tour: Tukad Cepung, Tibumana & Kanto Lampo
Select participants and date
You step out of the air‑conditioned van and the jungle inhales and exhales around you. The guide points to a narrow cleft in the cliff—sunlight threads through like a hand-held spotlight—and water pours through rock like a curtain. This is Tukad Cepung, the kind of place where even the stones feel alive, slippery with algae and history.

Adventure Tips
Wear water‑friendly footwear
Stairs, river crossings and slippery rocks make water shoes or sturdy sandals essential for safety and traction.
Bring a dry bag
Protect cameras, phones and spare clothes—short swims and spray are guaranteed at the bases of the falls.
Time your photos
Tukad Cepung is best photographed when sunlight hits the cave opening—early morning or late afternoon yields dramatic light and rainbows.
Respect local customs
You’ll pass small shrines and rice terraces; avoid stepping on offerings and follow your guide’s instructions at cultural sites.
