A Closer Look at the Tour Experience

This 10-hour adventure begins with convenient hotel pickup in Ubud, Kintamani, or Bali. The private transport ensures a comfortable ride and allows you to relax as you set out into Bali’s countryside, away from the crowds. The driver is friendly and prompt, and you’ll appreciate the simplicity of the pickup process—no fuss, just a quick text when they arrive.

The Waterfalls: A Scenic Treasure Trove

The highlight for many travelers is the visit to Sekumpul Waterfalls, often regarded as one of Bali’s best. We loved the way the guide led us through the local village, passing houses, temples, rice paddies, and fruit trees—especially durian and rambutan, which are everywhere. The walk is about three hours, including some breaks, sightseeing, and optional swimming.

The waterfalls themselves are nothing short of spectacular. As you approach, you’ll see several waterfalls from afar, with the main attraction being the twin waterfalls at the base where you can swim and splash around. One reviewer praised the attentive guide who even lent slippers and took photos, making the experience more relaxed and enjoyable.

The route crosses a river and involves some light trekking through jungle terrain—not strenuous, but enough to make you feel like an explorer. Standing at the base of the twin waterfalls, you’ll understand why Bali’s waterfalls are celebrated. The natural beauty and the rush of cold water make for memorable photos and refreshing breaks from the tropical heat.

The Coffee Plantation: A Rich and Aromatic Experience

After the waterfalls, the tour takes you to a Luwak coffee plantation. This part of the tour is quite educational—learning about how Kopi Luwak is made, from the civet-like animals (paradoxuruses) eating ripe coffee cherries to their digestive process fermenting the beans. The guide explains how these beans are then collected, cleaned, roasted, and ground, resulting in a coffee with a notably earthy, caramel, and chocolate flavor.

Many visitors enjoy the tasting session, which offers a chance to sample this rare coffee and other local brews. One reviewer described the coffee as having a syrupy body and smooth taste, which is quite different from standard brews. It’s a fascinating insight into Bali’s coffee culture, and you might find yourself intrigued enough to purchase some to take home.

The Itinerary Breakdown: What to Expect

The tour kicks off with three pickup options—Ubud, Kintamani, or Bali—allowing flexibility depending on your accommodation. Once aboard the private vehicle, you’ll head towards the north, with the first major stop being Sekumpul Waterfalls.

The trekking and sightseeing last around three hours, giving you ample time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and perhaps cool off with a swim. The waterfalls are accessible for most, but some walking and river crossings are involved, so light hiking shoes are recommended.

After the waterfalls, the trip continues to the coffee plantation. Here, you’ll see the civet animals in their natural habitat and learn about the process of making Kopi Luwak. You’ll also have some free time to walk around the plantation, take photos, and buy some souvenirs.

Finally, the tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel, making the day seamless and hassle-free.
