Wow, wow, wow! A bit tricky to get to, but worth the effort. We too a bike from Labuan Bajo, following the main highway for just over an hour before turning off. The road after the run off up until the water fall (another 45 mins or so) is terrible in places, completely cobblestone or washed away. We took a wrong turn in the village - we recommend putting into maps ‘Desa Pingyong’ which is just south east of the falls on the maps. From here we parked the bike and walked the path down past the fields to the cascades, here you cross and continue left up the river to another crossing. Prepare to get wet feet! Continue ahead to the third crossing and you will see the entrance hut. Here you can pay for entry and a drink. The falls are a short walk from there. We had the falls all to ourselves and it was absolutely epic.
