That’s disappointing. I’ve also heard of people going in the morning (around 8 AM) and no one stopped them, so that may be another solution.

Hi. If you mean the viewpoint of the waterfall, it’s inside of the main waterfall area, so you can’t see it unless you get past the scammers, unfortunately. But if you just want to see the view of the rice terraces and mountains, park at Warung Fiji.

Hi where do we park if we just want to see the view point (20,000idr)? I plan to have a driver for the day but don’t want him to spot at the wrong place and we face getting scammed. Many thanks

Yeah must be! I tried several times and even showed the photo of that ticket you managed to get but he said you cannot buy that, and the Sekumpul North side said the same.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for the update. I have a friend who got in recently without a guide, so maybe it just depends if you’re lucky.

Great! Welcome!

Hi Craig, thanks for your comment. Yes that’s correct, it’s best to park at Warung Fiji or close to it. The scammers are fine guides though, they will show you everything and take pictures for you etc, I just don’t like being forced to hire a guide, and it’s pretty overpriced for Bali.

But if you’re wanting a guide then I’d just negotiate what seems like a fair price with them, otherwise you can also try to hire someone from Warung Fiji to show you the way, but if you reach that point it’s already pretty straightforward, you just walk down the hill and follow the signs.

From Warung Fiji, the hike takes about 30-60 minutes to get there, but going back up takes a little longer since it’s all uphill. The total amount of time will depend on a lot of things, like how much time you spend taking pictures etc, but I’d say maybe 2 hours roundtrip with an average speed and some pictures, or 3 hours if you do all the waterfalls and lots of pictures.
