About
Air Terjun Tegenungan is a beautiful natural waterfall located just a half-hour drive from Ubud. The lush greenery and picturesque falls are a great photo op to commemorate your trip to Bali. When the conditions are good, you can take a dip in the inviting pool at the base. For a bird's eye view of the falls, be sure to check out the viewpoint near the entrance. Also, note that there's a small fee to enter the waterfall. To make the most of your trip, take a guided tour to explore other waterfalls in Bali. And if you need a break, there are tourist shops and a day club nearby. – Tripadvisor

    Wonderful waterfall. Well worth a vist
    Loved the whole walk down to the waterfall and it was beautiful when you got there. Try and go early (before 10.30am) as it gets quite busy. It is a VERY steep climb with lots of steps. I was unwell but was able to use the lift at the Omma (had to buy a drink first) which meant I didn't have to climb back up. Not for those who are less mobile

    fantastic time at the Tegenungan Waterfall
    This is a great part of a day trip from Sanur. we included it with the abandoned theme park and the mini zoo. the waterfall is beautiful with a couple of gorgeous infinity pool bars surrounding a swimming area. it also has fresh water pools that are little but very pretty to swim in. a heap of stairs to get down to it, so be aware you have to return! on the way down there are big bird nest structures to get your photo in. so pretty and so worth the trip here!

    Two Names for the Same Waterfall
    It's exactly the same waterfall as Blasinga. It's one waterfall with 2 names. Apparently, the river becomes the border line between 2 villages. Hence, there are 2 entry points. The entrance from Tegenungan side is more popular, and when I crossed the river and went up the stairs to get a better view of the fall from the top point, I came across a small counter with an officer charging another entry ticket, reasoning that I would step on the Blasinga side. The waterfall itself is moderately high with fairly strong current. You can take a dip as well. But when it's crowded, it's a bit challenging to take a nice picture.

    Waterfall day trip - Ubud
    A great day trip. We took our scooter over (free parking) and picked up tickets for the waterfall. The waterfall itself is small - it’s nothing to write home about - but the area is lovely, and there are some nice free polls to dip into at the top of the waterfall. There are also some nice bars around to visit after the falls. I’d definitely go there again if I was visiting Ubud.

    Nice visit to waterfall
    Beautiful waterfall and it wasn’t “too busy”. Most people came for the photo and only a small number of us went in it for a dip. It’s a nice walk down but maybe not so good with little ones/anyone who struggles with steps etc. Definitely recommend going to the pool/club near it that was a lovely treat after. I’d recommend but just be prepared for a walk/tourism.

    Beautiful waterfall, nice outing
    Originally a beautiful waterfall with beautiful locations to take photos. Entrance price is reasonable. What a shame is that a restaurant has been built in front of the waterfall with a swimming pool, beautifully done in itself, that does not fit into the natural environment. There is also a restaurant with a terrace at the top of the waterfall. So there is no question of unspoiltness. A nice destination for max 1/12 hour

    Impressive waterfall, with plenty of ’touristy’ attractions
    It’s worth a visit because the waterfall is impressive, but if you want to not see a waterfall without being a major tourist attraction avoid this one. The markets are fair enough on the way in, but there is a large club half way down pumping out music, gelato shop at the bottom and high swing on the other side. There is also a glass bottomed bridge running across the gouge.

    Tegenungan waterfall
    Tegenungan Waterfall is an absolute gem in Bali! 🌿💦 Located amidst lush greenery, this stunning waterfall offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle. The walk down to the falls is scenic and relatively easy, with well-maintained paths and steps. Once you arrive, the sight of the powerful cascade is truly breathtaking. The water is cool and inviting, perfect for a quick dip. There are also several vantage points for fantastic photos. Local vendors nearby offer snacks and drinks, adding to the convenience. Tegenungan Waterfall is a must-visit for nature lovers and anyone looking to experience Bali's natural beauty. Highly recommended!

    Too many people try to take pictures
    Like everything in Bali it was so crowded that I didn't enjoy. Manage to get some pictures while avoiding the loud crowd. I saw more development since the first time I visited 9 years ago. But I prefer less development. The waterfall is nice.

    Nice but busy
    It’s an enjoyable day out, you pay for entry to the waterfall area and there’s a variety of shops, food spots, and some waterfall bars. It’s a lovely waterfall and you can walk down close to it, there’s many spots for photos and the space is beautiful. Only downside is that it’s very busy and a lot of the spots are only accessible via bars that require you buy drinks etc, it all felt quite money based. But in general you get to see the waterfall for a low cost and it’s worth a visit.

You can enter by paying 20,000 rupees per person. If you want to swim in the waterfall, be sure to take your swimsuit and towel with you because you won't want to go up again. There is a serious amount of stairs going up and down. However, there is a restaurant there. If you eat or drink something there, you can go upstairs by elevator. I think you should definitely use the Restaurant, it is made of bamboo, the food is very delicious, we had standard Indonesian food (we ate rice with vegetables and chicken).

Tegenungan Waterfall is a breathtaking natural gem, perfect for a refreshing escape. The cascading water, surrounded by lush greenery, creates a picture-perfect scene that’s both energizing and soothing. The well-maintained paths make it accessible, though the stairs can be a bit challenging for some. It’s a great spot to take in the beauty of Bali and cool off in the clear waters. It was quite hot so always stay hydrated. Since it's a popular destination, it does get busy for photos at the picturesque spots. It is advisable to carry a selfie stick to avoid long waits and plan extra time for the breathtaking taking pictures. An umbrella and sunblock is a must. Whether you’re looking to relax or snap stunning photos, Tegenungan Waterfall offers an unforgettable experience. This is a destination I’d highly recommend for nature lovers and adventurers alike.

Cooling waterfall, good view, but its a workout getting there!

Small entrance fee to pay, will pass by many tourist shops & restaurants, wouldn't recommend of them for your meals, can go explore elsewhere.

There are many steps leading down to the waterfall, so get ready to do some cardio! At the waterfall, there's only a small water area you can dip in, so I didn't find it worthit to get wet there.

Save yourself the trouble - this place is nothing but a tourist trap waiting to take advantage of unsuspecting visitors.

Upon arrival at the visitors center, we were charged 20k per person to see the waterfall, which seemed fair enough. As we descended the steep steps towards the waterfall, we anticipated the usual challenges associated with such natural attractions.

However, upon reaching the site, we were met with overcrowding and disappointment. While we observed a swimming pool in use on the opposite side of the waterfall, the one on our side was out of order and emitted a foul odour.

Deciding to explore further, we crossed over to the other side, only to be confronted by a Balinese woman demanding an additional fee. Despite clarifying multiple times that this fee was for access to the pool, pointing to it, she even showed us in a photo, we were required to pay an extra 20k each to walk the short distance to the pool area. To our dismay, upon reaching the pool, we were informed that we needed to pay an additional 150k each at the entrance. When we mentioned paying the woman on the other side, the staff denied any association with her and showed no interest in rectifying the situation.

Their indifference and even amusement at our predicament led us to suspect their complicity in the scam, perhaps even benefiting from it themselves. We returned to the woman and demanded a refund, only to be met with aggression and derogatory remarks about being tourists. This unpleasant encounter soured what was supposed to be a much-needed day off from work.

In summary, this experience was not only a waste of time and money.

Stunning waterfall cascades over a cliff edge and runs off along the valley. It’s become a major tourist attraction, so there are loads of shops and warungs on the way down to the falls. For reasons beyond my comprehension the authorities have allowed a spa/restaurant to be built right next to the falls, attracting even more tourists. There are also far too many of the Instagram generation, who rather than photographing the beauty have to photograph their silly selves getting in the way of the falls.
There are 200 steep steps down and the same number back, which makes for a hot and challenging visit if you are not fit, so be prepared. There are pools by the falls if you fancy a paddle, so bring your trunks. Lifeguard. You can also climb to the top of the falls if you want some more exertion. Entrance fee about $2 pp. Toilets and car park.

The visit to the waterfall was part of a small tour around Ubud and the surrounding area. The waterfall is relatively close to Ubud. It is therefore relatively well attended and was therefore our first stop of the day tour. As a result, the number of people was still manageable. Negative is then that you have the waterfall right at the bottom in the sun. The waterfall is so beautiful to look at and you could also bathe in it. The descent or ascent is certainly not without, but good to do for people with some basic fitness. We've enjoyed it so far.

Beautiful waterfall, 20k entrance and great views from the top for those not wanting/able to walk up and down. Steps I would say 150 or so plenty of rest spots. The place was busy but didn’t feel overcrowded. No swimming at the bottom allowed - not sure why but this was clearly sign posted.

There is like a beach club place with an infinity pool and things in the middle.

We stopped there for a drink, however, tables have a minimum spend of at least 50k higher minimum for nicer tables. This was easily met between the four of us though. Once you’ve brought a drink there you can use there lovely clean toilets have a chill and then get the lift back up to the car park. Which was much appreciated as we were there for mid day sun.

Would recommend combining the waterfall and the on-site club to make a few hours of it.

We visited the waterfall as part of our day out with a car and driver from Hire Bali. It was the first planned stop of our day as we were told it gets very busy. Bit of a climb from the car park down to the falls but a number of stopping places for rests and pictures including an archway with the fall details. At the bottom near the holy pool is a small free changing room which we used and then a short walk over dome very unstable bamboo 'bridges' to get to falls and pool. Before the bridges is another small changing area although lots of folks were changing in amongst the rocks at the pool edge. The falls are superb and although it is recommended not io go beyond the barrier you can still fell the power over the water. The ground at the edge of the pool at the foot of the falls is really rocky so pool shoes are recommended however once in the base is light shale and easy to walk across. It was quiet when we arrived but soon got exceptionally busy. Well worth a visit and well worth going into the water but go early to avoid heavy crowds.

Traveling with a family of four with college kids

Decided to take a day trip to Ubud from Seminyak. We booked one of the many all day private tours offered from Seminyak area.

As part of the tour we stopped at the Tegenungan Waterfall.

Tegenungan Waterfall is a waterfall in Bali, Indonesia. It is located at the village of Tegenungan Kemenuh, also known as Kemenuh Village on the Petanu River in the Gianyar Regency, north from the capital Denpasar and close to the Balinese artist village of Ubud. Tegenungan Waterfall is considered the closest natural attraction of its kind that you can reach within a half-hour drive southeast from Ubud central.

There is a charge to enter the Tegenungan Waterfall (which cost $20,000 IDR/$1.28 USD per person).

Tegenungan waterfall is very overdeveloped and crowded with shops, restaurants, and tacky photo props. It’s turning into a bit of a tourist trap, however is beautiful nonetheless.

The falls are only several minutes’ walk down the trail beyond the shops, where you’ll enjoy the impressively green valley panorama with the cascading water as a centerpiece. Several instagram photo spots are located along the way. Dense foliage frames the falls, and the water volume is impressive at almost any time of year, but normally at its strongest during the wet season (October to April).

It only takes about 15 minutes to hike down the steps to the waterfall, but the way back up is a good workout with a lot of humidity and uneven stone steps.

Two platforms connected by a bamboo bridge will give you the best view on the waterfall. You can pay another $10,000 IDR to get an amazing middle-level view and go one level higher to the top of the waterfall to overlook the whole area and have a different perspective from the falls.

The waterfall is quite powerful, especially after rainy season. You can walk into the water until hip height a short distance before it gets deeper.

There is a local restaurant/bar which is located at the base of the falls where you can buy drinks and food. It is a bit overpriced, however has a pool and nice counter area that looks out to the falls,

This part of the tour I enjoyed the most and I wish it included more waterfalls. However, many of the other water falls are further up the mountain. Tibumana waterfall and Tukad Cepung waterfal are the next closest waterfalls located to Ubud, however we did not have to time to see within this tour.

There are many wonderful and interesting things to see in Ubud, but this is NOT one of those. It’s a tourist trap, where they completely ruined the natural setting of the waterfall (which in itself is nice, but not spectacular). A lot of concrete was poured everywhere and the whole area looks like an ugly construction site, full of people attracted by the misleading advertising of the place. It is the ugliest site I visited in Bali by far.
