Waterfall in north Bali

Aling-Aling Waterfall, Bali

A sacred 35-metre fall you don't swim under, and three below it that you slide down and jump into — 5, 10 and 15 metres — with a village guide who knows exactly where to land.

What is Aling-Aling like, and is the jumping safe?

Aling-Aling is the main fall in the Sambangan area above Singaraja, and the reason to come is downstream: Kroya (a natural slide), Kembar (10 m jump) and Pucuk (15 m) in a series of pools in the river gorge. The village runs it with guides, ropes and a clear routine — the guide jumps first, shows you the landing, and nobody goes who doesn't want to. Spectators walk the same path and swim in the pools. It's the adventure hour on our Sangeh, Bedugul & Aling-Aling day.

On the ground

A river gorge with a path along it and pools at every fall. The main fall, Aling-Aling, is tall and split in two and sacred — you look, you don't swim. Fifteen minutes down, the fun starts: Kroya is a 12-metre slide on smooth rock into a deep pool, Kembar a 10-metre jump, Pucuk a 15-metre one.

The guides are village men who do this every day. They check the depth, jump first, show you the exact spot, and hold the rope on the slide. Life jackets are available. It's genuinely well run.

Non-jumpers have a good day too: the walk is pretty, the pools are swimmable, and watching is half the entertainment.

Questions

Asked in the car

Do we have to jump?

No. Most groups split. The slide is the gentle option and the pools are for everyone.

Is it safe?

The guides check depth daily, jump first and manage each landing; the village has run it for years. It's still jumping off rocks — go with the guide's call.

Aling-Aling or Sekumpul?

Aling-Aling for fun, Sekumpul for spectacle. They're 40 minutes apart; a driver day can do both if you're very fit.
