The Experience

Before You Go

Check the weight limit

Operators restrict riders above ~90 kg for safety—confirm your weight at booking to avoid surprises.

Secure footwear and clothes

Wear closed-toe shoes and tight-fitting clothing; loose items can tangle in harnesses or lines.

Protect gear from spray

Bring a small waterproof pouch for your phone and wallet for the waterfall stop and any light rain.

Hydrate and pace yourself

The day includes sun exposure and short hikes—carry water and take breaks between activities.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small family coffee stalls on the access road serving freshly brewed Kopi Luwak-style tastings
  • A short detour to a quieter terrace viewpoint west of the main Tegallalang lookout for fewer crowds

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques in roadside groves
  • Monitor lizards near rivers and wet rice fields

Conservation Note

Visitor pressure can erode paths and stress local water resources; stick to marked trails, avoid litter, and support local operators who fund maintenance.

The Tegallalang terraces are part of Bali's subak cooperative irrigation tradition, a communal system of rice cultivation dating back centuries.
