In Bali's far north, the Aling-Aling Waterfalls offer a daring web of slides and leaps—a must for adventurous travelers. But, at well over two hours' drive from most south Bali hotels, it's not a relaxing journey. Take it easy on this convenient package, with a private driver/guide direct from your door, a local guide to ensure you jump and slide in safety, and a photo stop at pretty Wanagiri.

The name is Aling-Aling waterfall but there are actually some waterfalls located in the same spot. The waterfall is located close to Kroya waterfall, the main attraction. You will spend around 2 hours having fun sliding or jumping. The sliding path is around 15 meters in length. If you want to jump, there are different spots with different heights of 10 meters, 15 meters, and 20 meters. The last one is the scary one – only the bravest one would do such a leap of faith. Be sure to have a local guide accompany you because it is for your own safety. You will also have to listen to the guide's guidance before doing the jump and slide.
