Bali: Munduk Waterfalls Trek Twin Lakes and Temple Tour

We had an incredible time on this tour. Our driver, Edy, was punctual and the ride was very comfortable. Our guide, Tia, was fantastic—she was extremely knowledgeable about the forest and made the hike enjoyable. Unfortunately, we encountered some rain on the way to the waterfall, but Tia and Edy were very helpful and suggested having lunch earlier, hoping the rain would ease. It didn’t, but of course, the weather is out of anyone’s control. The Balinese-style lunch was amazing. Overall, the experience was wonderful!

Helpful? Yes

This activity was definitely worthwhile. Our driver, Edy, was very friendly and exceeded our expectations. Tia, our guide, was kind and made the experience very enjoyable.

I would highly recommend this activity to anyone.

I really appreciate the diversity of Bali, and this tour confirmed that the island has many hidden gems. The jungle is well preserved, and the boat ride was impressive with its peaceful surroundings.

I truly enjoyed my time with her and would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Bali beyond the well-known spots. I also want to note that the transportation was safe and punctual.

We wanted a break from the crowds in Ubud and chose a day trip to Munduk—and we absolutely loved it. Our guide, Luhde, was fantastic. The trek to the lake through the rugged jungle was beautiful and not physically demanding. The cooler climate made the walk very enjoyable. We enjoyed chatting with Luhde as she explained the various plants, their uses, and aspects of Balinese culture and daily life.

Helpful? Yes

An unforgettable day! The landscapes are stunning, and even with the crowds at the waterfalls, you can truly feel the power of nature. This region is a must-see and a perfect reason to return. Our guide, Deddy, was amazing—he treated us like friends, and our conversations about Bali, his history, and mine created a genuine connection. The Balinese lunch at a family-run restaurant and coffee plantation was delicious, with a special mention for the tortilla chips made by his mother. Deddy even gave me a scooter ride along the small roads, which felt magical. I’m usually nervous on a scooter, but I felt completely safe thanks to Deddy’s calm and kind presence.

I really enjoyed the hike through the jungle, and the canoe ride was pleasant, even though we had to wait about 15 minutes as there were other tourists in line. The food was excellent and full of flavor. For me, the waterfall was the highlight of the tour and a perfect way to end the day. Just be prepared for a long walk up and down the stairs to get there—it can be tiring for some. Both our driver and guide were very knowledgeable about Balinese culture and nature, answering all our questions with ease.

Helpful? Yes

We spent the day with Agung (our guide) and Putu Ricky (our driver), and both were fantastic. They spoke perfect English and shared so much about Indonesian culture, temples, and family life. The hike was easy (just make sure to wear sneakers) and offered stunning views of the twin lakes. The canoe trip was truly magical, gliding through the jungle, and both the temple and the waterfall were beautiful and refreshingly non-touristy. For lunch, we stopped at a local restaurant where we enjoyed a starter, main, dessert, and drink for just €14 for two people.

Helpful? Yes

I had such a great time with my guide Luhde. The canoe ride was magical—we had the whole lake to ourselves—and the waterfall was beautiful too!

Helpful? Yes

The boat trip on the lake was a unique experience, and we had it all to ourselves during both the hike and the ride. The visit to the waterfall was a bit more physically demanding, with a 50-meter elevation gain, but the waterfall itself was stunning—though not completely private, which is understandable. The Balinese-style meal at the end was simple but very tasty.

Helpful? Yes

I had an amazing day trip with Jimmy as my driver and Kadek as my guide. They shared so much about the area, including its history, culture, and nature. We started at 10 a.m. and finished around 2 p.m., but they let me explore at my own pace, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t recommend them more—thank you both for a fantastic trip!

Helpful? Yes

Our guide was very friendly and informative, and we learned a lot. During the short jungle walk and the canoe trip, we had the place entirely to ourselves—not a single other tourist in sight—which was wonderful. The scenery and natural surroundings were absolutely stunning. Thank you!

We highly recommend this experience to everyone! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Thank you Tia and Popo for an unforgettable day! Alyssa and Thomas

Helpful? Yes

A truly beautiful experience off the beaten track. The forest hike is relaxing and gives you a chance to discover the local flora and fauna, which our guide knew exceptionally well. We visited a temple tucked away in the heart of nature and crossed the lake by boat, allowing us to fully appreciate the stunning landscape. The highlight was the Munduk waterfalls—a pristine, quiet spot with few tourists, perfect for swimming. The only minor drawback is the two-hour drive from Ubud, but it is absolutely worth it!

Helpful? Yes

Everything was fantastic! Just be aware that the hike to the waterfalls requires good physical fitness, whereas the jungle walk and canoe trip are easy and accessible. Regardless, the experience was magnificent and truly refreshing.

Just a tip: wear waterproof shoes with good grip, as the trekking paths and stairs to and from the waterfall can be a little slippery.

Helpful? Yes

Our guided tour of Munduk with my cousin was an absolute delight, full of discovery and shared moments. We owe it all to our fantastic guide, Dedy, and our driver (whose name I’ve forgotten). Dedy took wonderful care of us—he was full of knowledge and humor, able to identify every plant in the forest, and approached life with philosophy and lightheartedness. The trip was completely worth it, filled with laughter throughout. On top of that, we enjoyed an amazing Balinese meal. I would recommend this experience a thousand times over!

Helpful? Yes

Our driver, Kadek, and guide, Putu, were both extremely friendly, courteous, and attentive.

We highly recommend this tour.

Helpful? Yes

I visited Munduk hoping to connect with nature, observe local life, and see a quieter side of Bali away from the crowded tourist spots in Ubud and Uluwatu, and this activity delivered all of that. The tour is run by a local community, and everyone we met was incredibly kind. My driver was very accommodating, and we started a little earlier to avoid potential afternoon rain. Some memorable moments included learning from my guide in the jungle about how quickly the trees grow their vines, and enjoying an avocado while canoeing on the lake. She also shared her perspectives on the local economy and the effects of tourism and global politics on the community. Overall, her warm energy made it feel like we had been friends for years, making the day exceptionally enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

Agong was an excellent guide who shared a lot of valuable information with us. It was an amazing experience, combining forest trekking with breathtaking waterfalls.

The pick-up and transfer by Budi were safe and on time. My guide, Putu, was very kind and attentive, taking great care of me. She is very knowledgeable about the area and answered all my questions thoroughly. The canoe trip on the lake was also lovely. When booking, I hadn’t realized this was a private tour rather than a group tour, which could be made clearer in the description.

Helpful? Yes

Putu Swas made everything even better. He took us on a long rainforest hike, and I thought we'd have to paddle the canoe part, but he took care of everything and made sure we enjoyed our time at the waterfall to the fullest. Just when we thought we'd seen it all, he showed us hidden parts we'd missed, making the experience even more special.

Helpful? Yes

Absolutely sublime! The guide’s warm welcome and extensive knowledge made a huge difference. The hike, the boat trip on the lake, the shared “family” meal, and the final destination with its numerous waterfalls were all wonderful. Many thanks to Kadek for his kindness and hospitality. Truly a job well done!

Helpful? Yes

We had a wonderful time with Kadek, who was attentive, caring, bilingual, and incredibly friendly. He told us many fascinating stories about Bali and the Munduk region.

Our morning together will definitely be one of our most cherished memories of Bali.

Helpful? Yes

I learned so much about Bali and gained a deeper understanding of the culture. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family. We visited some of the most stunning natural sites, including waterfalls and lakes, and enjoyed a delicious lunch in a traditional Balinese house, warmly welcomed by the locals.

Helpful? Yes

A very engaging activity. Our excellent guide, Kadek, shared the secrets of the jungle, we enjoyed the local cuisine, and took a boat ride on the sacred lake. The Munduk region is absolutely beautiful!

We had a wonderful day seeing so many beautiful sights. The tour was organized in collaboration with the local community, which was a lovely touch. Our host, Edy, and our guide, Komang, were fantastic. We would highly recommend this tour!

Helpful? Yes

We were picked up from the hotel by Destu, who was very friendly and sociable, and the car was clean. Our hiking guide, Kedek, made the experience even better.

Helpful? Yes

The activity was excellent, offering a mix of a forest walk, crossing a lake, and finishing with a walk to some breathtaking waterfalls. Our guide, Kedek, was fantastic—very knowledgeable and even made us laugh with his French expressions like “c’est parti mon kiki” (let’s go, my friend). We ended the day with lunch in a family-run restaurant with such kind people. Thank you!

Helpful? Yes

It was a fantastic experience. Our tour guide was extremely kind and funny, and we were very pleased with everything. We had a wonderful time and would happily return.

Helpful? Yes

This activity is excellent for families with small children or older adults. It’s less ideal for anyone seeking something more physically challenging, as the pace was quite slow and the path a bit too well marked for my taste. However, the guide was very friendly.

Helpful? Yes

A lovely hike with a brief canoe trip across the lake. The guides were extremely friendly, and we enjoyed some great conversations with them. The only downside was that the price felt a bit high.

Helpful? Yes

The walk with Kadek was both enjoyable and educational. We learned a great deal about local plants and their uses, and had the chance to taste a variety of natural foods along the way.

Helpful? Yes

The lunch was amazing, and our guide was very friendly, even bringing us water and some local pastries, which was a thoughtful touch. They were very knowledgeable about the different trees and plants. Crossing the lake by canoe was wonderful, and we really enjoyed the peacefulness after all the city noise.

Helpful? Yes

The hike and lake crossing were very enjoyable, but the waterfalls felt quite crowded and touristy.

Helpful? Yes

Overall, it was an enjoyable day. Our guide put in a lot of effort, and we especially enjoyed the local food. What we didn’t appreciate as much was that the experience felt very touristy, visiting all the main hotspots. However, if you enjoy that, it’s still a good choice.

Helpful? Yes

The activity itself was wonderful and a highlight of our trip. We hiked through the tropical forest for at least two hours with our guide, Luhde, who explained the local flora and fauna and answered all our questions. A traditional canoe, seating four people, including the pilot, awaited us at the lakeshore, along with cupcakes and Balinese coffee. Afterward, we visited a waterfall (transportation at our own expense) and dined at a typical restaurant away from the crowds.

Helpful? Yes

The guide and driver were excellent, but the experience was not worth the price we paid. What was advertised as a trek turned out to be a walk in the jungle, a short lake crossing, and a visit to a waterfall—hardly justifying the cost. I would recommend arranging this type of excursion directly with local providers rather than through the app.

Helpful? Yes

We booked this activity hoping for a relaxed day without any stress. We chose to meet at the meeting point to avoid the high extra charge for hotel pickup. However, upon arrival, we were told we suddenly had to arrange our own transport between tour stops. We had not agreed to this, as we paid over 70 euros (quite a lot in Bali) for a tour that was supposed to include transportation. They initially asked for an additional 350,000 RP (about 20 euros).

Helpful? Yes

I really enjoyed the guide who led us through the jungle. He was well-prepared with a rain jacket, first aid, and shared a lot of interesting information about the jungle, Balinese traditions, and culture. However, I did not like the driver—his English was poor, and I was uncomfortable with his driving. I chose the option that included lunch, but I didn’t enjoy it at all and felt it was overpriced for what was offered. I had better food at other local places. I would recommend the jungle guide, but not the lunch or the driver.

Helpful? Yes

This felt like a tourist trap—overpriced and not worth the money. The guide was unhelpful, and the lunch was a complete rip-off. We could have easily done this on our own with just a driver, as there was no need for a guide who put in so little effort.

Helpful? Yes
