How to Get to Tibumana Waterfall
Tibumana is one of the best waterfalls near Ubud, and easily accessible from the major tourist hubs in Bali. We combined our visit with a trip to Tukad Cepung Waterfall, and it was around a 30-minute drive from Ubud centre.
Once you arrive at the parking area of the falls, it’s an easy 10-minute hike to reach the falls. The trail leads you through a scenic jungle area and across some bamboo bridges, before concluding at the waterfall.

Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit the Bali Waterfalls is during the months of April-June, shortly after the wet season has ended. Due to the influx of rain, the waterfalls tend to be at their most impressive during this time.
It also pays to visit early in the morning if you want to avoid the crowds. If you are a photographer, this will be your best chance of snapping some beautiful shots without people in them.
Our Experience at Tibumana Waterfall
Ubud is famed for its verdant nature, and you will pass through palm-fringed roads as you approach the falls. It’s a scenic drive, and it’s worth travelling on a scooter so you can stop to take photos.
We arrived at the falls around 11 am. The walk down to the falls was one of the easiest waterfall treks in Bali. There were few steps to tackle, but we got to the falls in no more than 10-minutes.
When we arrived at the falls, we were immediately captivated by the insanely beautiful view. It was a bit too busy for us to capture any decent photos, so we decided to take a swim and see if things quietened down.
Swimming at Tibumana Waterfall
Tibumana is one of few waterfalls in Bali where it is permitted to swim. There are some locals who watch out for the safety of visitors so you can take a dip without worry. Just be sure not to swim too close to the falls.
At around midday, the crowds started to filter out. We took advantage of the window and snapped some shots at one of the most instagrammable spots in Bali.
