In Brief
Fiji Waterfall, Bali, is a triple fall in Lemukih village, Sawan district, in the hills southeast of Singaraja. Three parallel cascades come down a single jungle cliff into a shallow pool you can swim in. It sits in the same valley system as Sekumpul, about ten minutes further along the same trek.
Lemukih holds six waterfall points, and Fiji and Sekumpul are the two the village has developed for visitors. A member of Lemukih's own tourism group accompanies every visitor, the village's tourism managers told Detik. The guide explains the place and keeps you safe on the wet stairs and river stones.
Bring cash and expect to be walked in.
Fiji Waterfall at a Glance
- What: three side-by-side cascades in one jungle amphitheatre
- Height: published figures vary widely, so none is quoted here
- Where: Lemukih village, Sawan district, Buleleng
- From Lovina: about 45 minutes to an hour by road, the same drive as Sekumpul
- Access: the same valley and village system as Sekumpul, with a further riverside walk. Expect stairs, river crossings and spray
- Guide: a member of Lemukih's tourism group walks you in
- Swimming: yes, in the shallow pool at the base, and the water is cold
- Effort: moderate. Wear sturdy sandals or trail shoes, and keep your knees ready for the stairs back up
- Best time: morning, and the dry season for the safest river crossings. BMKG forecasts the season's onset each year
Fiji Is Three Falls Side by Side on One Cliff
The Sekumpul valley gathers the water of the high ridges above Singaraja.
That water drops off a green cliff line in half a dozen places, which is why the area's name means "group" or "cluster". Sekumpul is the tall, thundering centrepiece. Buleleng's culture and tourism office calls it the king of all Bali's waterfalls.

Fiji is three falls of roughly equal height, standing shoulder to shoulder in an amphitheatre of their own.
The Name Gerombong Belongs to Sekumpul
One name needs clearing up, because guides and blogs muddle it. The fall sometimes written as Gerombong or Grombong is the Sekumpul one, and Fiji is a separate set of water in the same village.
The Pool Below Fiji Is Good for Swimming
The pool below Fiji is broad and shallow. That makes it better for swimming than Sekumpul's plunge pool, which is blasted by wind.
In full flow after rain, the three falls merge their spray into one drifting cloud. In the dry season they separate into three clean silver lines you can swim beneath.
A Village Guide Walks You to Both Falls
Because the falls share the valley, they share the visit.
Lemukih manages both through its own tourism group, and every visitor is accompanied down. Ask your guide for a route that takes in both falls. Skipping Fiji to save the extra walk is a common first-timer's regret.
The Trek Reaches Sekumpul First, Then Fiji
The walk has four stages, and the guide leads the way.
-
Down the stairs. From the village parking, the route drops on concrete and earth stairs through clove and coffee gardens.
-
Across the river. You cross on stones or a bamboo bridge, depending on the season.
-
Sekumpul first. The path reaches the Sekumpul viewpoint before it reaches Fiji.
-
Along the valley floor to Fiji. From the viewpoint, the Fiji branch follows the valley floor and wades the shallow river once or twice. Then the three falls open up in front of you.

Go in the Morning, and in the Dry Season
Go early. The light comes down the valley in the morning, and the stairs are cooler. Day-trip groups from the south arrive late in the morning.
The dry season gives the safest river crossings, and BMKG forecasts its onset each year.
How to Fit It In: Fiji and Sekumpul Fill a Morning
Fiji and Sekumpul fill a morning. The classic north-coast day continues with lunch in the hills, and then you have two ways back.
Aling-Aling's slides and jumps are on the way toward Lovina, and the long way around goes through the Munduk highlands.
From a base on the coast, everything here is within day-trip range of Lovina.
Practical Notes
- Cash: bring it. Fiji shares its village ticket and guides with Sekumpul
- Footwear: sturdy sandals or trail shoes with grip
- Pack: water, and a dry bag for phones
- Fees and what to combine: the north Bali waterfalls guide has the full practical picture of the area
FAQ
Where is Fiji Waterfall in Bali?
In the Sekumpul valley near Sawan, in the hills southeast of Singaraja in north Bali. It shares its access trek, village ticket and guides with Sekumpul Waterfall. The drive from Lovina takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Can you visit Fiji Waterfall and Sekumpul together?
Yes, and you should. They sit in the same valley on one guided trek, and adding Fiji typically extends the Sekumpul visit by under an hour. The combined route is the standard offer from the village guides.
Can you swim at Fiji Waterfall?
Yes. The pool at the base of the three falls is broad and fairly shallow, one of the nicer swims of the north's waterfalls. The water is cold and the spray strong after rain.
Why is it called Fiji Waterfall?
The sources read for this guide do not record where the name came from, so no origin is given here. It is the name Lemukih and Buleleng's tourism office both use for the triple fall. Gerombong is a different name, attached to the Sekumpul fall in the same village.
How tall is Fiji Waterfall?
Published figures disagree sharply, so no height is quoted here. The Buleleng culture and tourism office's account gives about thirty metres, and a Detik report gives up to a hundred. The shape is consistent across them: three cascades side by side down one cliff, into a pool you can stand in.
Is the Fiji Waterfall trek hard?
Moderate. Expect several hundred stairs down and back up, some river-stone crossings and wet paths. It is manageable for anyone reasonably mobile, with a guide leading the way. Proper footwear matters more than fitness.
