Lemukih Hidden Trekking Waterslide Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfall

The natural waterslide is the hook here, but the waterfalls and rural route are the real reward. Starting in Lemukih Village, you walk through rice terraces, forest, and clear streams before reaching Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls. This is North Bali at its most active and least polished.

I like the mix of thrills and local scenery, and I like that the price includes a guide, safety gear, coconut water, lunch, and the motorcycle ride back to the start. Guides such as Sugi and Yoga have been praised for explaining village life, crops, trees, and waterfall safety. The catch is simple: this is a moderate trek with slippery rocks, steps, water crossings, and a long day. It is not a gentle sightseeing walk.

Key points to know before you book

• The five-hour trek is the heart of an approximately eight-hour outing, with time for transport, stops, food, and the return to Lemukih Village.
• Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls give you two major natural sights, not just a quick stop at one viewpoint.
• The waterslide and water jump are active experiences, so you should be comfortable getting wet and scrambling over rocks.
• Helmets and water shoes are included, a useful safety touch on a wet route.
• Lunch, bottled water, and young coconut water are included, while breakfast, tips, and personal spending are not.
• Hotel pickup is optional, and the group can reach up to 30 people, so check the selected package and group size when booking.

Lemukih Village sets the pace

The experience begins at Lemukih Village in Buleleng Regency, North Bali. This is the meeting point for the trek, and it gives you a more grounded start than being dropped at a large attraction entrance with little sense of place.

Your local guide leads you from the village into the surrounding countryside. The route passes rice terraces, tropical forest, and small streams. You are not simply moving between photo stops. You are walking through the setting that supports everyday village life, with the guide explaining details about crops, trees, local customs, and the area’s waterfalls.

That local connection matters here. The route is not presented as a polished theme-park ride. A guide helps you find the best sections, points out safer places near the water, and gives meaning to what you are seeing. Sugi has been praised for speaking strong English and for explaining the plants, farming, and waterfalls. Yoga is another guide name associated with this experience, described as upbeat and accommodating.

The starting area also gives you a practical warning about the day ahead. You will need to walk on uneven ground, and the route can become wet in rainy weather. The setting is beautiful, but it asks you to pay attention to your footing.

Rice terraces and forest make the walk worthwhile

The first part of the trek leads through green rice fields and forest. This section is valuable because it slows the experience down. You get time to see how the waterfalls fit into the wider countryside rather than treating them as isolated attractions.

The rice terraces provide the broad views, while the forest and streams bring you closer to the water. The scenery changes as you walk, which helps keep the route interesting. You might pause for photos, listen to the guide, or simply catch your breath before the more active sections.

I would not book this tour if you want an easy path with smooth surfaces throughout. The route has been described as challenging in places, and the combination of rocks, water, and changes in level requires moderate fitness. The activity information specifically recommends a moderate physical fitness level.

You should also expect to get wet. The water is described as clean and clear, and several parts of the day involve swimming or moving through wet areas. Water shoes are supplied, but you still need to take care on rocks. Wear clothing that can handle a full day outdoors, and avoid bringing anything you cannot risk getting wet.

Sekumpul Waterfall brings the biggest views

Sekumpul Waterfall is one of the main reasons to choose this route. The waterfall sits within a lush rural setting, and reaching it on foot gives the visit more shape than simply arriving at a lookout, taking a picture, and leaving.

The approach through fields, forest, and streams builds anticipation. When you reach the falls, you can take in the height and surrounding greenery, then enjoy time near the water. Swimming beneath Sekumpul is part of the experience described by the operator, so bring the right attitude: this is not only a viewing stop.

The water and rocks also create the main practical concern. Conditions can change, especially during the wet season. One account describes a rainy trek with a moody rainforest feel, but also makes clear that wet weather added difficulty. Your guide’s role is important here. Follow instructions about where to walk, where to swim, and where not to jump.

The waterfall area is also the place where the tour’s photography appeal becomes obvious. The scenery works for wide views of the falls and close shots of the forest and streams. Still, a camera or phone should be protected from water. The day is built around movement and swimming, not dry paths between viewpoints.

Fiji Waterfall adds variety to the route

Fiji Waterfall gives you another major stop and keeps the day from feeling like a single-waterfall excursion. You will visit both falls as part of the route, along with the rice fields, forest, streams, and water activities.

The appeal of Fiji is partly the change of setting. After walking through the wider countryside, you get another chance to enjoy clear water and thick tropical surroundings. The stop adds more time for photographs, swimming, and simply cooling off.

I like that the route combines two waterfalls with the walk between them. It gives you a better sense of North Bali than a short visit to one famous sight. At the same time, you should not expect every minute to be quiet or private. The maximum group size is 30 people, which is large enough to affect the feel of narrow paths and water stops.

If you prefer a small, silent walk with no set pace, ask about the expected group size before booking. If you like having a guide, safety equipment, and a clear route through difficult terrain, a larger group may be an acceptable trade-off for the price.

The natural waterslide is the playful center of the day

The Lemukih waterslide is the most unusual part of the experience. Rather than riding a constructed attraction, you use a natural chute formed by the river and rock. The tour also includes a water jump, and descriptions of the experience mention sliding through the river on a tire.

This is the point where the tour shifts from walking and sightseeing to active play. You should expect to sit, slide, splash, and get fully wet. It is a good fit if you want a physical adventure with your waterfall visit. It is less suitable if you are nervous around fast-moving water or do not want to jump and slide on natural rock.

The included helmet and water shoes are important. They do not remove every risk, but they are better than turning up in ordinary sandals and hoping for the best. Listen closely to the guide before each activity. The guide knows which areas are safe and how to approach the slide or jump.

The water jump deserves extra care. The supplied information confirms the activity but does not specify its height or exact format, so do not assume it will suit everyone in your group. If you are unsure, ask the guide about the conditions on the day. You can still enjoy the waterfalls and trek without forcing yourself into every activity.

Food and drinks keep the long walk manageable

The tour includes bottled water, young coconut water, and an Indonesian lunch. That is a useful package for a route lasting about five hours on foot within an approximately eight-hour outing.

The young coconut is more than a photo opportunity. It gives you a fresh drink during a day of walking and water activities. The lunch adds practical value too, since breakfast is not included and personal snacks are your responsibility.

Do not arrive expecting a European-style meal or a large choice of dishes. The included food is described as an Indonesian menu, which suits the local setting and keeps the experience connected to the region. If you have dietary needs, the provided information does not specify available alternatives, so ask before booking.

Breakfast is not included. That matters because pickup can make for an early start from Ubud or another area, depending on your selected option. Bring cash for personal expenses and a tip if you wish to thank your guide. Neither is included in the price.

The motorcycle return saves time and energy

At the end of the route, a motorcycle takes you back to the starting point. This small detail makes a real difference after several hours of walking, swimming, and scrambling.

The ride is not the same as hotel transport. It is a local transfer from the finish of the trek back to Lemukih Village, where the activity ends. If you select the package with hotel pickup and drop-off, that is a separate part of the booking. The description says transfers can be added, so check carefully whether your chosen price includes them.

This is especially important if you are staying in Ubud. Lemukih is in North Bali, and the meeting point is remote compared with central Ubud attractions. A package with hotel transfers may cost more, but it can be worth paying for the convenience and avoiding the effort of arranging transport to the village yourself.

The activity itself lasts about eight hours, while the walk is described as roughly five hours. The difference likely allows for the drive, changing pace, waterfall stops, lunch, and return to the meeting point. Do not schedule another important appointment immediately afterward.

Is the $25.60 price good value?

At $25.60 per person, this is a strong-value day if the listed inclusions apply to your selected option. You receive a local trekking guide, entrance fees and taxes, helmet, water shoes, lunch, bottled water, coconut water, and the motorcycle ride back to the start.

The price is especially appealing because the experience combines several activities: village walking, rice terraces, forest, two waterfalls, swimming, a natural waterslide, and a water jump. Booking each piece separately would be less straightforward, and you would lose the benefit of one guide managing the route.

The main price question is transport. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included only if you select that option, and the remote location makes transport a real part of the day. Compare the base price with the transfer version before deciding. A cheap booking that leaves you to arrange a long journey to Lemukih may not be the best value for your plans.

The group limit is up to 30 people. That helps keep the advertised price low, but it can make the experience feel less personal. If you want more time with the guide or a quieter pace, confirm the expected group size before you pay.

The tour is often booked about 12 days ahead. That suggests you should not leave it until the last minute if your Bali schedule is fixed, especially if you want a particular date or a transfer option.

Who should book this North Bali adventure?

I would choose this for an active day outside Ubud, especially if you want more than a viewpoint and a quick waterfall photo. It suits people who enjoy walking, swimming, natural water rides, and local scenery in one outing.

It is also a good choice if you value practical support. The guide leads you through the route, safety equipment is supplied, and food and drinks are covered. A guide is particularly useful because the path includes streams, rocks, and water activities rather than a simple paved trail.

I would think twice if you have limited mobility, dislike slippery ground, or want a relaxed sightseeing day. The moderate fitness requirement is meaningful. The route may be wet and tiring, and the water jump is optional only in the sense that you should never feel pressured to do it.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the activity are not refunded, based on local time. That gives you some flexibility, but the deadline is firm.
