Avoid Rainy Season:

    • The shallow pool at the base of the waterfall is perfect for wading or swimming, so bring swimwear if you plan to take a dip.

    Water Shoes:

    • The rocks at the waterfall can be slippery, so it’s a good idea to wear water shoes for better grip.

    Dry Bag:

    • If you’re bringing a camera or other valuables, a waterproof dry bag will protect them from the water.

    Camera/Smartphone:

    • This waterfall is a popular spot for photography, so don’t forget your camera or phone for great shots.

    Sunscreen and Bug Spray:

    • Even though the area is shaded, applying sunscreen and bug repellent is recommended for outdoor activities in Bali.
    5. What to Expect

    Short Trek:

    • The walk from the entrance to the waterfall is a short, scenic trek through lush greenery. The trail is easy to follow, but you may need to descend a few stairs, which are manageable for most visitors.

    Shallow Pool:

    • At the base on the east side of the waterfall is a shallow, refreshing pool, perfect for cooling off in the tropical heat.

    Photogenic Setting:

    • The black rock cliffs and cascading water create a beautiful backdrop for photos. It’s an Instagram-friendly location, so make sure to explore the different angles for unique shots.

    Peaceful Ambiance:

    • The peaceful surroundings, combined with the gentle sound of water flowing over the rocks, create a tranquil atmosphere.
      6. Respecting Local Customs
