Lemukih Hidden Trekking Waterslide Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfall

Lemukih’s natural waterslide is the headline, but the real pleasure is the route that leads you there. You walk from Lemukih Village through rice terraces, forest, streams, and village scenery before reaching Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls. Then you slide, jump, swim, and get very wet.

I like the mix of local life and wild scenery, and I like that helmets, water shoes, a guide, lunch, water, and young coconut are included. The main catch is physical: this is a moderate trek with slippery rocks, wet paths, and enough walking to make poor footwear a bad idea.

Key points to know before booking

• The natural waterslide is only one part of the day: The waterfalls and rice-field walk are just as important.
• Sekumpul and Fiji are the visual stars: Expect powerful falls, clear water, forest, and excellent photo stops.
• Sugi and Yoga are named local guides: Guide availability may vary, but the experience is built around local knowledge.
• Water shoes and a helmet are included: That matters on wet rocks and during the slide and water jumps.
• The trek takes about five hours inside an eight-hour outing: The longer timing allows for transport, food, and the return ride.
• The price is $25.60 per person: That is strong value if you use the included gear, drinks, meal, guide, and selected pickup.

Starting at Lemukih Village

The tour begins at Lemukih Trekking Tours in Lemukih, Sawan, in Bali’s Buleleng Regency. This is North Bali, far from the tighter cluster of Ubud sights, so the setting already feels more rural and quiet.

Your walk begins among green rice terraces and village paths. This is not a quick roadside waterfall stop. You have time to see how the area changes from cultivated farmland to tropical forest, with streams and small cascades shaping the route.

I like this opening because it gives the day some context. You are not simply dropped beside a waterfall, photographed, and sent back to the car. A local guide can point out crops, trees, village life, and the way water runs through the area.

The experience is listed as about eight hours, while the main trek itself takes roughly five hours. If pickup is selected, the full day includes travel to and from the remote starting point. If you make your own way there, the activity begins and ends at the Lemukih meeting point.

Walking through rice terraces and forest

The route combines several kinds of walking. Expect rice paddies, tropical forest, clear streams, and rocky sections near the water. That variety keeps the trek interesting, but it also means the ground changes often.

Some stretches are calm and scenic. Other parts call for care, especially after rain. One useful piece of advice is to wear footwear you can scramble over rocks in. The supplied water shoes help with the wet sections, but you still need reasonable balance and steady legs.

The guide is important here. The route includes swimming areas, a waterslide, jumps, and waterfall viewpoints, so local advice helps you judge where to step and which spots are safest. Guides named in the tour feedback include Sugi, who speaks English and French, and Yoga, described as upbeat and accommodating. Your guide may differ, but the local guide is a central part of the outing rather than a simple escort.

This is also where you see the strongest cultural side of the day. You pass through a working village area, not a staged attraction. I would book this tour for the walk as much as for the water activities, especially if you want a closer look at rural Bali beyond Ubud’s usual circuit.

Sekumpul Waterfall and Fiji Waterfall

Sekumpul is the major scenic payoff. The waterfall area has the kind of scale that makes you stop talking for a moment: tall falls, thick greenery, rock, and water moving through the valley.

Fiji Waterfall adds another stop rather than feeling like a repeat. The two falls give the day more variety, and you get different angles for photos and swimming. The setting is especially striking in wet weather, when the forest feels moody and the water has more force.

You may swim beneath Sekumpul if conditions allow. The water is described as clean and clear, but natural waterfall pools are not swimming pools, so the guide’s instructions matter. Water levels, rocks, and current can change with rain.

Bring a waterproof phone case if you want photos in the water. The tour provides water shoes and a helmet, but the supplied information does not list a dry bag or phone protection. Keep personal items to a minimum and protect anything you do carry.

The Lemukih waterslide and water jumps

The natural waterslide is the most unusual part of the outing. Instead of a built attraction, you use a smooth section of river rock shaped by flowing water. You slide through the stream under the guide’s direction, wearing the provided helmet and water shoes.

There may also be a water jump. This sounds simple, but the right spot and the right technique matter. Use the guide’s judgment rather than choosing a higher ledge because it looks exciting in a photo.

The activity is aimed at people with moderate physical fitness. That wording is worth taking seriously. You need to walk for several hours, handle uneven ground, get in and out of water, and cope with wet clothing and slippery surfaces.

I like that safety equipment is part of the package. It does not remove every risk, but a helmet and water shoes are sensible additions for an activity involving rocks and fast-moving water. The best approach is adventurous but not reckless. You are there for a memorable day, not to prove anything.

Lunch, coconut water, and the ride back

Food is included in a practical way. You receive bottled water, young coconut water, and an Indonesian lunch. Breakfast is not included, so eat before the activity begins, especially if you are using a pickup option and expect a long start to the day.

The coconut is a nice touch after the wet sections. It gives you a local refreshment rather than another packaged drink, while the lunch keeps the outing from turning into a long day on snacks alone.

After the trek, a motorcycle takes you from the finish back to the starting point. That detail matters because it saves you from retracing the route on foot. It also adds a small local touch to the end of the outing.

You should expect to finish wet or at least damp. A change of clothes is a sensible addition, though it is not listed among the inclusions. Cash is also not included for personal expenses, so carry some if you want to buy anything beyond the supplied food and drinks.

Is $25.60 good value?

At $25.60 per person, this is a good-value experience if you want several activities in one day. The package includes the local guide, all fees and taxes, water-slide equipment, bottled water, coconut water, Indonesian lunch, and the motorcycle ride back.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included only if you select that option. Since Lemukih is in North Bali and the activity is based outside the main Ubud sights, compare the price of the transfer option before booking. A cheaper base fare may not be the best deal if you still need to arrange transport yourself.

The group can reach a maximum of 30 people. That is not a tiny private walk, and a larger group can make water activities feel less personal. Still, the local guide and defined route keep the day organized. If you want complete control over pace and photo stops, ask about a smaller option before paying.

Group discounts are available. For friends or family, that can bring the cost down further. The value is strongest for people who want scenery, swimming, a meal, gear, and a guide without arranging each part separately.

Who will enjoy this trek most

I would recommend it to active adults, older children who are comfortable around water, couples, friends, and families looking for more than a standard sightseeing drive. It suits you if you enjoy a moderate walk and do not mind getting wet.

It is a good match for:

• People who want North Bali scenery beyond the busy hot spots
• Anyone interested in rice terraces and village life as well as waterfalls
• Confident swimmers and people who enjoy mild adventure
• Visitors who prefer a guided route through unfamiliar forest and streams
• Anyone who values included food, drinks, safety gear, and local guidance

I would think twice if you dislike slippery ground, swimming, water jumps, or extended walking. This is not a gentle viewpoint tour. The official description calls for moderate fitness, and that is the right expectation.

Rain does not automatically ruin the day. One account describes a wet-season trek through a moody rainforest that was still worthwhile. But rain can make the route slick and change water conditions, so flexibility is part of the deal.

What to bring and how to prepare

Start with a proper breakfast because breakfast is not included. Wear comfortable clothes that can get wet, and bring a dry change of clothes for the ride or journey afterward.

Your most useful extras are:

• A waterproof phone pouch
• A small towel
• Sunscreen
• Insect repellent
• Cash for personal expenses
• A dry bag if you carry a camera or other electronics
• Secure sandals or shoes for the non-water sections

The tour supplies a helmet and water shoes, but do not rely on those items to solve every footwear problem. The route includes rocks and uneven ground, so follow the guide’s advice and move slowly where needed.

Keep your bag light. You will be walking, swimming, sliding, and handling wet conditions. A bulky pack quickly becomes a nuisance.

Booking, pickup, and cancellation

Confirmation is provided when you book. Pickup and drop-off are available if you choose that option, while the standard meeting point is Lemukih Trekking Tours, R54M+XRX, Lemukih, Sawan, Buleleng Regency, Bali 81171.

The activity ends back at the meeting point after the motorcycle ride from the finish. Since the outing is often booked about 12 days ahead, reserving early may help if your Bali dates are fixed.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the local start time for a full refund. Changes or cancellations made inside 24 hours are not accepted for a refund.

Should you book Lemukih?

Book this trek if you want a full day of waterfall scenery, village walking, and hands-on adventure rather than a polished attraction close to Ubud. Sekumpul and Fiji provide the memorable views, while the waterslide and jumps add the fun.

The best reason to go is the combination. Few short Bali outings offer rice terraces, forest streams, two major waterfalls, swimming, a natural slide, coconut water, lunch, and local guidance at this price.

Skip it if you want easy transport, dry clothes, flat paths, or a quick photo stop. For everyone else, the $25.60 price offers a lot, especially with the included equipment and food. Choose the pickup option if reaching remote North Bali is inconvenient, eat breakfast first, and arrive ready to walk and get wet.
