3. Goa Rang Reng Waterfall
Goa Rang Reng is a lesser known waterfall in the Ubud area and is actually comprised of multiple waterfalls. When you arrive at the parking lot, there is a long walkway with stairs leading down to the two main cascading waterfalls. However, if you are a looking for a real adventure, consult one of the guides and ask them to take you to the waterfall swing!
The waterfall swing is situated in a cave and surrounded by 3 waterfalls. This trek does require walking through a stream and a short swim, so we would recommend wearing footwear you can get wet, and bringing a dry bag with you (we have linked ours here) to ensure none of your belongings get wet!

8. Sekumpul Waterfall
This is one of the largest waterfalls in Bali towering at 262 feet. It takes some work to get here, it is about a 30 minute hike to the first waterfall but it is incredible to see and is one of the best things to do in Bali.
NOTE: There has been an uptick in scams in the area, with locals setting up roadside stands demanding payment to even drive on the road to the entrance. They have also started putting false entrances on Google Maps to scam tourists. We HIGHLY recommend visiting Sekumpal only with an experienced guide who knows the area and the entrance point.
