Lovina Dolphin & Sekumpul Waterfall

Head out at dawn for the Lovina dolphins, soak in the sacred Banjar hot springs, then trek to Sekumpul, often called Bali's most beautiful waterfall. An early start, worth every minute.

What You'll Do

Lovina Dolphin Sekumpul, Bali
Stop 1

Lovina Sunrise Dolphin Cruise

We leave Ubud in the dark to reach Lovina's calm north-coast water at first light. Climb aboard a traditional jukung boat and glide out as pods of wild dolphins surface and play around you, the sunrise glowing behind the mountains. An only-in-the-morning experience.

Stop 2

Banjar Hot Spring

Back on land, ease into the sacred Banjar hot springs - warm, sulphur-rich water pouring from carved stone dragons into jungle-fringed bathing pools. The perfect way to warm up after the boat and loosen up before the trek.

Waterfall, Bali
Stop 3

Sekumpul Waterfall

Often called the most beautiful waterfall in Bali - a cluster of tall cascades pouring into a green jungle gorge. It's a real trek down and back up through the valley, but standing at the base of Sekumpul is a reward few visitors ever see. Moderate fitness needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price per person or per car?

Per car - one price covers up to 5 people, so a fuller car costs less per head. Groups of 6 or more simply take a second car. Only the Exclusive version adds a per-person part: the entrance tickets.

Are entrance tickets included?

Your choice, via the Standard / Exclusive toggle above. Standard keeps tickets out - you pay at each gate, only for the places you enter. Exclusive includes the tickets for the listed stops, so the whole day is prepaid.

How do I book and pay?

Pick your date, tap Book, and confirm on WhatsApp. A 10% deposit secures your car and driver; the balance is paid in cash or by transfer at the end of the tour. Guests staying at our villas skip the deposit entirely.

Are dolphin sightings guaranteed?

Honestly, no - they're wild spinner dolphins. But Lovina's waters are their home, the captains know where to look, and sightings are the norm. Sunrise from a traditional outrigger is worth the alarm either way.

How tough is the Sekumpul trek?

Fair warning: plenty of stairs plus a small river crossing - that's why it's often called Bali's most beautiful waterfall. Grippy shoes required; the viewpoint makes a fine finish line if your legs say stop.
