About this tour
A full-day guided tour around Ubud visiting three distinct waterfalls: Tibumana nested deep in forest, Tukad Cepung tucked behind a cave entrance, and the larger Tegenungan cascade. Your own driver handles navigation whilst you focus on exploring each site and capturing photographs. The route covers roughly 10 hours with hotel pickups included. Lunch at a local warung breaks up the day, giving you a proper taste of how Balinese eat.
Highlights
- Tibumana waterfall set within thick forest canopy

What to expect
Expect a physically demanding day with multiple short hikes of varying difficulty between carparks and each waterfall. Tibumana requires scrambling down forest paths; Tukad Cepung involves wading through a shallow river and stooping through a cave tunnel to reach the falls; Tegenungan is the most accessible but busier. You'll wade and swim at each location, so bring a change of clothes and a dry bag. Roads are unsealed in places, making the drive bumpy. Your driver will wait while you explore, then collect you afterwards.
Good to know
Wear proper hiking shoes with grip—paths are slippery when wet. Bring a waterproof phone case and secure your valuables. Pack sunscreen and insect repellent. The tour suits moderate fitness levels; those with back problems, pregnancy, or heart concerns should reconsider. Lunch is separate to the tour cost.
