A quite beautiful place in nature. It’s so atmospheric and the best waterfall I‘ve visited in Bali yet. You can combine watching waterfalls and cliff jumping (you can’t swim in Aling Aling Waterfall. There are other smaller waterfalls, where you can go swim).

So much fun! Even while on my own, my guide Kadek was great company! He took great pictures, and made sure I had a really great time! And I did!!! Jumping from 5m into the water was amazing, lots of adrenaline! And I LOVED the slide down the waterfall! Would definitely recommend ! Very family friendly also
