Getting to Aling Aling Waterfall in Bali
To visit Aling Aling Waterfall, we suggest staying locally to avoid a long journey. Lovina is a short 25-30 minute drive away and is a lovely base for exploring the North of Bali. To travel from Ubud or Canggu could take anywhere from 2-3 hours.
*There is a lot of cool things to do in the North of Bali. We suggest spending 2-3 days there and using that time to explore the surrounding area. We found the North far less developed than other tourists hubs in Bali. So it’s an ideal location for those who like to venture off the beaten path.

Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit any of the Bali waterfalls is shortly after the monsoon season (between April and June). The downpours of rain mean the rivers overflow, resulting in raging waterfalls all over the island.
During the drier season, many waterfalls in Bali dry out completely. While this isn’t the case at Aling Aling, the water flow reduces dramatically reduces.
With all the adrenaline-pumping activities going on around Aling Aling, naturally, it’s a favourite spot among tourists. To avoid the crowds and lengthy queues, it’s always best to arrive as early as possible.
Our Experience at Aling Aling Waterfall
After seeing several photos and videos from Aling Aling waterfall, we knew it was a place we wanted to check out. We followed the map to the pinned location I noted above and had no trouble locating the parking area to the falls.
Our day had started at the famous Gitgit Waterfall, so by the time we arrived at Aling Aling, it was already quite busy. Nonetheless, we parked up and made our way over to the ticket office.
While we’ve done some cliff jumping in the past, it’s not something that interests us enough to pay for. So on this occasion, we opted to view the waterfalls only. Sadly, it also meant that we couldn’t swim; however, it’s an all or nothing deal, so we bit the bullet and got on with the day.
The trail leading to the series of waterfalls is incredibly picturesque. Nature surrounds you from all angles, resembling a real jungle vibe. There are a few stairs but nothing too crazy, and I can confidently say it’s suitable for all ages or capabilities.
Fun and Rainbows at Aling Aling Waterfall
Along the trail, you’ll see several signposts that point in the direction of each waterfall. You can start where you like; however, it makes sense to begin at Aling Aling and then hike your way down through the others.
We heard Aling Aling way before we could see it. The water plummets with tremendous force from a 90-foot cliff edge. Swimming here is forbidden here for religious reasons, but even if you could, you wouldn’t want to.
A staircase leads down to the rocks below, but they are super slippery and you’ll want to take extra care. I’d also advise leaving any electricals at the top, since the spray back at this point is pretty wild. I do recommend it though, just to experience the full force of the falls.
The spot at the bottom of the stairs also makes for a pretty epic photo. Especially if you’re lucky to get a rainbow like we did.
Cliff Jumping at Aling Aling Waterfall
After marvelling the beauty of Aling Aling, we set off in search of the other waterfalls. First up was Kroya Waterfall, and there were several people gathered here preparing for the first jump of the day.
Kroya is the entry-level jump. At a mere 5 metres high, it’s really just a warm-up for what lay ahead. You can also slide down the waterfall, which looked like a lot of fun.
After Kroya, it gets a bit more interesting. The next jump at Kembar waterfall is 10 metres high, and the one after that at Pucuk waterfall is a whopping 15 metre high.
We recommend this guide by Journey Era to learn more about cliff jumping at the Aling Aling waterfalls.
Tip: If you find yourself adventuring in the North of Bali, tie your visit in with a trip to Sekumpul & Fiji Waterfalls, Gitgit Waterfall, and Brahma Vihara Arama Monastery.
