Sekumpul’s waterfalls feel like a private secret. The big win here is that you get hotel pickup at 7:00 and the trek is set up so you’re not hunting for extra costs like lunch or basic access fees. I also love the motorbike ride to the trailhead—way more fun than doing the long route on foot—and the local trekking guide keeps things moving. One consideration: it’s an active day, so you’ll want solid fitness and good shoes, especially on slippery paths.

This is a countryside-style waterfalls tour around Lemukih, far from the beach crowds. You’ll swap sand time for real time in the jungle valleys, with chances to slide, swim, and cool off under the cascades. And because the guide is English-speaking and focused on top photo angles, the waterfalls don’t just look good from afar—you’ll get angles worth saving.

There are also optional detours if you want extra Bali highlights. That’s great if you’re adding temples or scenic stops, but those extras can mean more driving and entrance fees not included in the base price.

Key highlights worth planning for

• Hotel pickup and drop-off included, so you can skip the meeting-point shuffle
• Motorbike transfers from the road to the trekking start point for a quicker, more exciting approach
• Lunch, bottled water, and refreshments included, with no surprise food scramble mid-trek
• Swim access with a safety helmet and supervisor, built in for the river “play” area
• English-speaking trekking guide focused on route flow and photo spots
• Optional stops (Ulun Danu Beratan, Wanagiri, Handara) if you want to round out the day

Price and what you truly get for $90

For $90 per person, this tour is priced like a day you don’t have to micro-manage. The standout value isn’t only that it’s “all inclusive” in name—it’s that the day’s most common hidden costs are handled for you.

Here’s what matters most for your wallet and your stress level:

• Lunch is included, so you can plan your energy without guessing where you’ll eat.
• Bottled water and refreshments are included, which is a big deal in Bali heat during an 8–10 hour outing.
• Entrance fees for the main waterfall stops are included, so your day doesn’t turn into a pay-at-every-turn situation.
• Motorbike transfers and private transport are included, which is usually the first thing that drives prices up on Bali tours.

The only costs to expect are the ones clearly marked as optional or extra, like alcohol during the day (available to purchase) and entrance fees for optional stops.

If you hate surprise add-ons, this is exactly the kind of tour setup that keeps your budget intact.

Getting there from Kuta: the 7:00 AM start and the long-but-worth-it ride

You start early—pickup is at 7:00 AM—and then you’re in a vehicle heading toward Lemukih village, roughly 2 to 3 hours’ drive from Denpasar.

That drive time is the trade-off for why Sekumpul and the surrounding waterfalls feel so different from the usual quick stops. You’re paying in early wake-up hours so you can get into the quieter, rural valley terrain where the waterfalls cluster.

Once you arrive, the tour switches gears. Instead of hiking the approach from the road, you’ll take motorbikes to the trekking start point. This is one of those “worth it” parts: it saves time and keeps the day from turning into a long warm-up slog. In one example I’ve seen from past outings, the driver Bobby was punctual and even happy to accommodate reasonable stop requests—useful when you want the day to fit your pace.

Practical note: bring a change of clothes. You’ll likely be damp by the end, and it’s nice to have something clean for the ride back.

Sekumpul Waterfall trek: where the fun turns wet and photogenic

The Sekumpul portion is built around a guided walk followed by real waterfall time. Your schedule here is not about rushing through for a quick look—it’s about getting you to the viewpoints and the water-access areas in a way that feels doable.

A few things to expect once you’re at the start point:

• You’ll ride in on motorbike first, then the trek begins right away.
• Access is included to the jumping point and water-slide river area, plus you’ll get a safety helmet and supervisor.
• There’s built-in time for photos, because the guide will show you the best spots for angles instead of letting you wander blindly while the light changes.

This is the kind of waterfall where shoes matter. Even if you’re excited to swim, the approach and surrounding paths can be slick. You’ll feel glad you brought proper shoes rather than sandals.

The value of this stop is that it’s not just a photo stop. It’s also an active break from sitting in a car all day—one of the reasons people recommend this tour style so often.

Fili (Fiji) Waterfalls: a four-waterfall route with spring-water bragging rights

After Sekumpul, you continue to the Fili waterfall area. The route here centers on a group of waterfalls—about four in total—so you’re not stuck with one cascade and a fast exit.

On the way, you’ll get views of two side-by-side waterfalls, plus one that’s described as 100% spring water. That’s a nice detail because it hints at why the water flow can feel especially lively and cool at these spots.

This portion runs about 2 hours, and it typically feels like the “main event” for people who want variety: you’re moving between viewpoints and water sections, not just staying in one spot.

Also, don’t expect it to be only dry-ground sightseeing. The water access areas and opportunities to cool off are part of the experience theme. If you’re comfortable bringing your swimwear, this stop becomes more than scenery.

Lunch, water, and the little things that keep the day enjoyable

This tour includes lunch, plus bottled water and refreshments. That doesn’t sound dramatic on paper, but in practice it’s what makes an 8–10 hour waterfall day actually work.

Without lunch included, you’d be stuck choosing between:

• eating too early and feeling heavy on the trek, or
• searching for food at the worst possible time—when everyone is tired and hungry.

Here, you can pace yourself. You’ll have fuel for the walking and you won’t waste time negotiating what to buy in the middle of a packed day.

The also-nice part: the tour is designed as a private group experience, so you’re not constantly waiting for random pacing differences. If you like a smoother rhythm—less crowd chaos, more “follow the guide and enjoy”—this format helps.

Optional add-ons: Ulun Danu Beratan, Wanagiri, and Handara Gate

You have optional stops that can round out your day beyond Sekumpul and Fili:

• Ulun Danu Beratan temple
• Wanagiri hidden hills
• Bali Handara iconic gate

These are great if you want a mix of nature plus a few of Bali’s famous landmarks. But two practical points:

• Entrance fees for optional stops are not included, so expect extra payments there.
• The more you add, the more your day shifts from a waterfall-focused schedule to a multi-stop road day.

If you’re mainly chasing waterfall time, you can skip the optional detours and keep the day centered on swimming, trekking, and photos.

If you’re doing Bali for the first time and want a “see a few iconic things too” approach, pick one optional stop rather than stacking all three—unless you’re used to long driving days.

What to pack (so your photos look good and your body feels good)

The tour asks you to bring a very specific list, and it’s spot-on for this kind of day:

• Shoes (for slippery ground)
• Towel
• Hat
• Sun block
• A change of clothes for after the activities
• Cash money for locals shopping or tipping

That cash line matters. Even if you don’t plan to shop, having a little ready helps you handle small moments politely, like supporting a local stop or making a small tip.

For swim time, you’ll also want to plan like this is a water + trek day, not a casual walk. Wet clothes add discomfort fast in Bali’s humidity, so the change outfit isn’t optional comfort—it’s sanity.

Physical fitness matters too. The tour notes you should have strong physical fitness level. That doesn’t mean you need to be a trail athlete, but you should be confident moving on uneven, potentially slippery paths for the duration of the day.

Who this Bali Sekumpul trekking tour is best for

This is a good match if you:

• want waterfall swimming and “river play” time (with safety support)
• like guided trekking where someone handles the route flow and photo spots
• prefer hotel pickup and drop-off, not DIY logistics
• want an all-in day at a fair price that reduces surprise expenses

It might be less ideal if you:

• hate early starts or have limited tolerance for a long day (8–10 hours)
• struggle with slippery terrain or aren’t comfortable with active walking
• want a totally laid-back itinerary with minimal physical effort

This tour is best for people who are excited by nature time, but still want the comfort of included food, water, and transport.

Should you book this All Inclusive Sekumpul Waterfalls Trek?

If your goal is a value-packed Bali waterfall day—without the usual scramble for lunch, water, and access fees—I’d book it. The price makes sense because the big-ticket day needs are included: transport, guide support, lunch, and included waterfall access.

I’d also lean yes if you care about safety and structure. The helmet and supervisor for the water-slide / jumping area is the kind of detail that makes this feel more responsible than random waterfall wandering. And with an English-speaking trekking guide, you’re not stuck figuring out the “how” on your own.

One final tip for your decision: if you’re the type who wants to do optional sights too, choose carefully. Going beyond Sekumpul and Fili can be fun, but it can also steal hours from your favorite part—the water.
