Ubud To Tenenungan Waterfall

If you’re staying in Ubud it’s very easy to get here early, and it’s just a 15-30 minutes ride from central Ubud. The road has good conditions and if you go early at sunrise the traffic won’t be as bad either.

Tenenungan Waterfall From Seminyak/Kuta

From Seminyak and Kuta area you have approximately a 1-hour drive to the waterfall.

The road is easy to follow and as soon as you come closer you will also see signs with a photo of the Tegenungan waterfall and a pointing arrow.

Tenenungan Waterfall From Canggu

From Central Canggu you have about 1 hours of driving, maybe a little more if you ride a car. But just as the road from Kuta/Seminyak it’s easy to follow the directions and finding the Tegenungan waterfall from Canggu as well.

Go early if you want to avoid getting caught in traffic and having to share the waterfall with others.

Is It safe To Swim In Tegenungan Waterfall?

If you’re a good swimmer you should be fine, but the waterfall is quite powerful and there are again signs and even red buoys in the water.

You can walk into the water a short distance before it gets deeper. So if you want to take a picture of you standing in the water in front of the Tegenungan Waterfall, that’s doable and safe.

Do You Need To Walk Down The Stairs To See The Waterfall?

Well, you could just walk a few steps and see it from a distance and take a photo. But you will still have to pay the entrance fee. And to be honest, it’s not that hard to walk down and its much more amazing to see close-up.

Can You Jump From The Cliff?

I wouldn’t recommend this. The water is not deep enough from that height and you will most likely injure yourself. There are several signs saying that you shouldn’t jump from the cliff, and Indonesia is not well-known for advertising danger and put up signs everywhere.

So, I would urge you to take this seriously as it really is dangerous.

Do You Need Hiking Experience?

Well, not really. Just about any person with an average health should be able to climb down and up the stairs. If you want to visit the temple or second level of the Tegenungan waterfall, you won’t need any hiking experience either.
