About this tour

You'll swim in emerald pools, navigate natural water slides, and move through jungle terrain with a driver handling transport between sites.

What to expect
You'll start with an early pickup from your accommodation, then drive north through rice fields towards the temple. Ulundanu sits on a volcanic crater lake—allow 45 minutes to walk the grounds and absorb the setting. The drive to Sekumpul takes another hour; from there, a guided trek descends through forest, crossing streams and negotiating muddy paths to reach the falls. Swimming here is the payoff. Lunch follows at a casual spot run by locals. Banyumala, your final stop, offers easier access to its twin cascade. Expect wet, muddy clothes and mosquitoes; the reward is genuine solitude and water you can actually dive into.
Good to know
Bring spare clothes, a towel, and insect repellent—non-negotiable. Wear proper hiking shoes with grip. The trek involves scrambling and water crossings; skip this if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have weak cardiovascular fitness. Five of ten hours go to driving and transfers, so plan accordingly.
