Lemukih Hidden Trekking Waterslide Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfall

The best part of this North Bali outing is the mix of waterfall trekking and natural thrills. You walk through Lemukih Village, rice terraces, forest, and streams before sliding down smooth rock and taking a water jump. I like the included water shoes and helmet, and I like that a local guide adds context about crops, village life, and safer places to enter the water. The drawback is real: this is a moderate trek with wet, slippery sections, not a gentle sightseeing walk.

I also like the simple comforts: young coconut water, bottled water, and an Indonesian lunch after several hours outside. The remote meeting point makes transport important, so check whether your booking includes pickup and drop-off before you pay.

Key points to know before you book

• Sekumpul and Fiji in one route: You visit two of North Bali’s best-known waterfalls rather than stopping at a single viewpoint.
• A natural waterslide: Lemukih adds a playful ride over smooth rock, plus a water jump for those who want more action.
• Five hours on foot: The walking portion crosses rice fields, forest, streams, and uneven ground.
• Safety equipment is included: You receive a helmet and water shoes, plus guidance from a local trekking leader.
• Food and drinks are covered: Expect bottled water, fresh young coconut, and an Indonesian lunch. Breakfast is not included.
• The price is low for what is bundled: At $25.60 per person, the package includes guiding, entry costs, gear, food, and the motorcycle ride back. Transfers may cost extra.

Lemukih Village sets the tone

The trip begins at Lemukih Trekking Tours in Lemukih Village, in Buleleng Regency. This is North Bali, far from the concentrated tourist areas around central and southern Bali. The village start gives you a look at a working rural area before the waterfalls take over the day.

Your local guide leads you away from the starting point and into a route shaped by village life. You pass rice terraces, tropical forest, and clear streams. The setting changes often enough to keep the walk interesting, and the guide can explain local crops, trees, Balinese culture, and the way village paths connect the area.

Guides named Sugi and Yoga have led this route, with Sugi noted for speaking English and French. Guide assignments can vary, but the key point is that this is not a self-guided walk. Someone familiar with the paths helps you find the water features and points out safer places for swimming, sliding, and jumping.

The route is best understood as a real trek, not a short stroll between parking areas. You need a moderate level of fitness, and the ground can be wet or uneven. The reward is a closer look at North Bali’s countryside, with fewer built-up distractions than you find around the island’s most visited attractions.

Rice terraces and forest trails

The first walking section takes you through emerald rice terraces and tropical forest. These are not just scenic backdrops. They are part of the local setting, and your guide can explain the crops and village life you see along the way.

The rice fields offer the broadest views of the route. In the forest, the path feels more enclosed, with streams and damp ground adding to the sense of a wild water route. You may want your camera ready, but protect it carefully. The day includes swimming and sliding, so a waterproof pouch is a sensible personal extra.

The walk can feel challenging because the attraction is spread through natural terrain rather than arranged along a smooth path. Take your time on rocks and listen to the guide when approaching the water. The supplied helmet and water shoes are useful here, not decorative extras.

Water shoes matter most when scrambling over rocks or entering streams. Regular sandals may not give enough grip, while ordinary running shoes will get wet. You should still expect to use your own judgment, especially if rain has made the path slick.

Sekumpul Waterfall is the visual high point

Sekumpul Waterfall is the major scenic stop. The falls drop through thick greenery, creating the kind of view that makes the walking effort worthwhile. The route also lets you experience the falls from the water, rather than simply looking at them from a distant platform.

Swimming beneath Sekumpul is one of the memorable parts of the day, but conditions can change. Water levels and currents depend on the weather, so follow your guide’s instructions about where to enter and how far to go. The guide’s local familiarity is especially valuable at a waterfall, where the prettiest spot is not always the safest one.

You should also allow time for photographs. Sekumpul has the scale and setting that make a camera tempting, but the damp conditions can make handling a phone awkward. If you want photos during the swim, use a waterproof case rather than relying on a loose phone.

The falls are only one reason this route works. The approach through fields, forest, and streams gives the stop a sense of arrival. You are not simply driven to a lookout, handed a few minutes, and moved on.

Fiji Waterfall adds another lush stop

Fiji Waterfall comes as part of the same trek, giving you a second waterfall setting and another chance to cool off. The route does not depend on one single viewpoint, which helps justify the time spent walking through Lemukih.

Fiji is paired with Sekumpul as part of the water-focused portion of the day. You might swim, pause for photos, or simply enjoy the sound and spray. Your guide decides how the route works on the day, taking account of conditions and the safest places to stop.

This second waterfall also gives the outing some variety. Sekumpul supplies the grand scenic moment, while Fiji helps keep the experience active and personal. You are moving through the area, not treating the falls as isolated picture stops.

Rainy-season conditions can make the forest moodier and the walk wetter. That may mean more slippery footing, but it can also make the waterfalls especially powerful. If you prefer dry paths and predictable weather, this is the main seasonal consideration to weigh.

The waterslide is the playful centerpiece

The Lemukih natural waterslide is the feature that separates this outing from a standard waterfall walk. You use a smooth section of natural rock as a slide, with the stream carrying you through the final stretch.

It is fun, but it is not a polished water park ride. The surface is natural, the water is moving, and you are outdoors in a setting where conditions can vary. That is why the helmet, water shoes, and guide matter. Pay attention to instructions and do not treat the slide as a place to improvise.

The experience also includes a water jump. You can decide how much adventure suits you, but the presence of the jump means this tour is aimed at people who want active water time, not only scenery.

Some versions of the route include sliding on a tyre as well. The supplied equipment specifically includes a helmet and water shoes, while the guide manages the water activities. Pack swimwear and a change of dry clothes, since you should expect to get wet.

Lunch and coconut water keep the day practical

Food is one of the useful details in this package. After several hours of walking and water activities, you receive an Indonesian lunch, along with bottled water and young coconut water.

The coconut is more than a photo opportunity. It is a refreshing break in a warm, physical setting, and it suits the rural character of the visit. The local lunch also makes the day feel less like a packaged attraction and more connected to the area.

Breakfast is not included, so eat before the activity if you need a substantial morning meal. The package covers lunch, but it does not cover personal spending, so bring cash for anything outside the stated inclusions.

You should also bring sun protection, a swimsuit, a towel, and dry clothes. These are practical suggestions based on the route’s water activities, not supplied items. Keep valuables to a minimum, since the day includes streams, swimming, and a natural slide.

The motorcycle ride solves the return walk

After the trek, a motorcycle ride takes you from the finish back to the starting point. This is a small but valuable inclusion. Without it, the return journey could add more walking after an already active day.

The ride is part of the local way the route works, rather than a private vehicle transfer. If you are uncomfortable on a motorcycle, consider that detail before booking. The supplied information does not specify how individual motorcycle arrangements are made, so ask the operator if you need clarification.

The full activity lasts about eight hours, while the walking section is described as roughly five hours. The difference allows time for the waterfall stops, water activities, food, and transport back to Lemukih Village.

If you choose the pickup option, hotel pickup and drop-off are included. An upgrade is available for round-trip transfers to the remote location. Since the meeting point is in Lemukih, confirm the transport option carefully if you are staying in Ubud or elsewhere.

Is $25.60 good value?

At $25.60 per person, this is strong value if you want an active day rather than a short waterfall photo stop. The price includes all fees and taxes, a local trekking guide, helmet, water shoes, Indonesian lunch, bottled water, young coconut water, and the motorcycle ride back.

It does not automatically include round-trip hotel transport, because pickup and drop-off depend on the option selected. That distinction matters. A cheap base price can look different once you add transport from Ubud to remote North Bali, so compare the final booking total rather than only the advertised starting price.

The group maximum is 30 people. That is not a tiny private walk, and the pace may feel less flexible in a full group. On the other hand, the local guide and fixed route make the outing easier than trying to find the waterfalls and water features alone.

The experience is booked about 12 days ahead on average. That suggests you should not leave it until the last day if your Bali schedule is tight, especially if you need a particular date or hotel transfer.

Who should book this North Bali trek?

You should consider it if you want several things in one day: rural scenery, waterfalls, swimming, a natural slide, a water jump, local food, and a guide who knows the area.

It suits active adults, older children who can handle a moderate trek, and anyone who prefers a physical outing to a bus-and-viewpoint excursion. You need to be comfortable getting wet and walking on uneven ground.

I would be cautious if you have limited mobility, dislike slippery paths, or want a relaxed sightseeing day. The activity is not presented as accessible, and the physical demands are clear. The maximum group size of 30 may also feel too large if you want a quiet, private walk.

The strongest reason to go is variety. In one route, you see rice terraces and forest, learn about village life, visit Sekumpul and Fiji, swim, slide, jump, eat a local lunch, and return by motorcycle. Few single-day activities offer that much physical and scenic variety at this price.

Should you book the Lemukih experience?

Book it if your idea of a good Bali day includes muddy paths, cold waterfall water, local countryside, and a bit of controlled silliness on a natural slide. The safety gear, guide, food, and coconut water make the $25.60 base price appealing.

Skip it if you want an easy walk, guaranteed dry weather, or a polished attraction with ramps and changing facilities. Before booking, confirm the transfer option, set aside a full eight hours, and bring clothes you can get wet.

For an adventurous Ubud-based itinerary, this is a worthwhile trip into North Bali. The waterfalls are the visual reward, but the real appeal is the complete route through Lemukih Village and its working countryside.
