We recommend leaving early in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy the waterfall in peace. Domestic tourists are charged IDR 10,000 per person. Meanwhile, foreign tourists must pay an entrance ticket of IDR 20 thousand per person. This price can change at any time so make sure to bring more money.

In our experience, travelling during the dry season, which runs from May to September, is the greatest option. The sky are usually clear throughout these months, and the falls look to be at their best with a constant flow of water.
Early morning, between 8 and 10 a.m., is the best time to visit. The sunshine streaming through the trees produces a magnificent scene, and the colder temperatures make strolling or swimming enjoyable.
