Amazing place. Fun guides. You can choose between the short(125), medium(250) and long(500) experience. You have to pay cash, no card option. Short is 4 waterfalls for 2-3 hours. Medium is 4 waterfalls and the blue Lagoon and rice fields 4-5 hours. Long is with another 3 waterfalls and lunch. All waterfalls are beautifull. But the reason to do it is the jumping, sliding and swimming. It is so much fun, also for kids. The guides are really good guys that make the experience special. They take photos and videos for you when you jump, help eachother and make jokes. Special thanks to Lesung.
Firstly, the gardens upon entry are fantastic. So lovely to walk amongst, lustrous to the sound of running water. They'd be nice to picnic in. Unfortunately, when we exited the waterfall, we didn't go back there. The falls themselves were pretty good. We went mid-morning, so the crowds were light. There are platforms that you can jump from, into the pools below the falls. That was a bit of fun! The taller of the two is 9 metres. We had a guide, who also enjoyed jumping in.
Aling-Aling Waterfall in Sambangan is stunning tall, powerful, and surrounded by green jungle. You can swim, slide, and jump at nearby smaller falls like Kroya and Kembar with a local guide. 💡 Tips: Entrance IDR 20,000 (view only) or IDR 125k–250k for adventure. Bring swimsuit, towel, sandals, and go early morning for cool weather. Parking, lockers, and toilets available. One of Bali’s best waterfalls for both nature and adventure!
Stunning scenery, and great value to see four falls and jumping/sliding if you want for the price with guide. We got there early and had the place entirely to ourselves for the first couple hours. If your guide offers the extra 20 min or so trek to the rice terraces/village on the other side of the canyon, do it, it’s really beautiful and interesting to see a different way of life, and no long line to take a photo. The blue lagoon with the rope swing is also worth the extra walk. Be aware the steps/trails are STEEP and the water is COLD. If you’re like me and not someone who hikes regularly, you will be very sore for a couple days, but it’s worth it!
This was such a beautiful waterfall! There were 3 different ones. The path we had to walk on was well maintained and the views were so nice. There were nice rice terraces at the beginning. The walk back to the entrance/exit was a bit confusing, cause we had to walk on the side of the road. But anyway, it was a cool experience and the waterfalls looked amazing. We saw a guy slide down one of the waterfalls. You could do those types of activities, but we didn't do that.
Absolutely fantastic time had by us all, a family of five ready for some fun. The access to the waterfalls is fairly steep, down about 150 well maintained steps. Guides are helpful, informative and supportive. We had plenty of time to relax, take in the sights, jump into the plunge pools and slide down the waterfall.
A must-see experience! We absolutely loved our visit to Aling-Aling Waterfall. It’s a place you really shouldn't miss! It’s not too crowded, so you can enjoy the nature and the activities without stress. It’s great for families and you can choose what kind of adventure you want. We did the tour with four waterfalls – you walk around 15 minutes and the whole experience lasts about 2 hours. We had so much fun sliding down natural rock slides and jumping from 5, 10, and even 15 meters into crystal-clear pools. The natural pools are stunning and refreshing. The guide was incredibly kind and helpful the whole time. They even carried our phones to keep them safe and took amazing photos of us. Totally worth it – one of the highlights of our trip. Don’t miss it!
You can either do the walk with a guide and go swimming, sliding and cliff jumping or just pay 20,000rp and walk it yourself. I’ve already done the guide experience so this time decided to just take a scenic walk, there are a lot of steps down and it’s about a 30-45 min round trip to the bottom and back up the easier way which isn’t as steep. I also did the atv ride which was a lot of fun, so highly recommend that too if you’re up for it.

The place is cozy and clean, with a pleasant atmosphere for dining or hanging out. The service is friendly, quick, and very attentive. The food tastes great and the portions are just right. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered. A perfect spot to come with friends, family, or even alone. Definitely worth coming back!🤩
Came on Saturday but there is no people here. It's kinda sad because the place is good. The view is great!! The service also great, the waiter is so friendly (forgot to ask his name). But the pool needs to be cleaned, the bean bags also need to be cleaned, the pizza needs to be upgraded a little bit. The ticket is rp 15k/person for local. The food's price is not so pricey for this kinda place. Just come and enjoy the view and the atmosphere. This place deserves more attention 🥰
They have 2 menus. A menu for Indonesians and a menu for tourists, with prices like 130k for a dish instead of 30k. So be aware of these scammers and ask the kind waters for the normal menu. When I talked to the boss, he told me “oh I’m sorry, we gave you the old menu.” Obviously a tourist trap. On the photo is the menu you should have, even as a tourist. The food wasn’t very good by the way.
I have a great experience during my tour in Bali with my friends!! This place is recommended to all tourists from around the world to enjoy the exotic yet tropical vibes of Bali! definitely booking this again in the future
Once upon a tome there might’ve been nice place but now definitely lacks management. Staff barely speak English. and whole place needs maintenance. We ordered pizza that we waited forever and in the end appeared to be made from frozen product bought from coco market or so. They don’t have availability for most of menu and I was served worse cappuccino i ever had ( there should be special place in hell for who made it on Bali ). And that’s true they have menu for tourists and three times cheaper for locals.
Absolutely magical place! 🌿 Alam Sambangan in Bali is a hidden paradise with stunning waterfalls, crystal-clear pools, and lush green jungle vibes. The atmosphere is peaceful, the views are breathtaking, and the natural beauty makes it perfect for both adventure and relaxation. Truly a must-visit gem!
The view was very good, clean facilities and the food was really nice. Excellent service from the staff😍🌈
On our way to Aling Aling waterfall, our driver suggested stopping here for lunch. The ratings are very misleading. You can see remnants of a once-relaxing place, but now it’s run-down with almost nothing left on the menu. They brought us a ‘club sandwich’: two slices of white bread with lettuce, cucumber, and some mysterious kofta balls. The hygiene was alarming: toilets overflowing, no water or soap, in a state only seen in films of a dystopian future where humankind has almost been wiped out. Prices were outrageous for what you get. I ended up only eating a few fries and drinking a Sprite straight from the bottle. They only seemed to really address my male partner, probably assuming he was the only paying customer. Wounded cats and dogs wandered around, crying and rubbing themselves on you - that says all you need to know. Not recommended.

Go here to book a guide to visit Aling Aling, cliff jump and slide. They have 3 different packages: 1-2 hours with slide and cliff jumping 3-4 hours with above + visit to blue lagoon (to swim and swinging rope) + visit of a rice terrasse 4-6 hours above and extra falls, lunch included We did the 3-4 hour tour and loved it (250,000 IDR). There is not too much walking and not as many stairs as there are at other waterfalls. It is very accessible for children. The blue lagoon is breathtaking. We spent an hour there playing in the water, jumping little cliffs and swinging like Tarzan. Then you will move onto the waterfall slide. It looks very scary from the top but you’ll be fine don’t worry! There is a smaller one for children. Then there are different sizes of cliffs you can jump from (5-10-15 m). Life jackets are available if you need one. After you have spent all your energy, you get a coconut and some locally made chips. We loved our tour and really recommend you pay for a guide!! He can take pictures/videos of you, give you advice on jumps and slides and bring you to the best spots.
This is a must if you enjoy cliff jumping and big waterfalls. Fantastic guides (we recommend Teddy).
Very nice and friendly staff and guides are so nice and helpful!

(Translated by Google) A great place in the north of Bali. Beautiful waterfalls, natural slides and cliff jumping. Friendly guide (Blue) who gave us time to do everything and took great photos of us. Price 125k IDR per person was absolutely fair. (Original) Ein toller Ort im Norden Balis. Schöne Wasserfälle, Naturrutschen und Klippenspringen. Freundlicher Guide (Blue), der uns für alles Zeit gegeben und tolle Fotos von uns gemacht hat. Preis 125k IDR pro Person waren absolut fair.
(Translated by Google) kroya is the best. Sliding and jumping. I don’t want to go to the Blue Lagoon a second time. The Blue Lagoon water smells like ammonia (cave bat droppings). (Original) kroya가 제일 좋다. 슬라이딩과 점프. 블루라군은 2번가고 싶지 않다. 블루라군 물에서 암모니아(동굴 박쥐 배설물) 냄새가 난다
(Translated by Google) The place where you must stop to have your local guide to see the Aling Aling Falls and others. The guides are very kind and attentive, plus they take great souvenir photos to see. (Original) La place où vous devez arrêter pour avoir votre guide local afin de voir les chutes Aling Aling et autres. Les guides sont très gentil et attentif, de plus ils prennent des supers photos souvenirs pour voir.
