Dusun Kuning Waterfall has to be up there with our top 3 favourite waterfalls in Bali. The whole place is like a fairy tale and is still relatively undiscovered. Like all waterfalls, there were many stairs down to reach it, but the walk was surrounded by such greenery, a flowing creek and smaller waterfalls along the way. If you are up for off-the-beaten-path experiences in Bali, then you need to visit Dusun Kuning Waterfall.

HOW TO GET TO DUSUN KUNING WATERFALL
Dusun Kuning Waterfall is located in an easily accessible position. The waterfall is only a 45-minute drive from Ubud and a 1.5 hour drive from Canggu. It is a perfect location to combine with other waterfalls in the area like Kanto Lampo Waterfall, Dedari Waterfall, Tukad Cepung Waterfall and Tibumana Waterfall.

We drove a scooter to Dusun Kuning Waterfall so we had the freedom to arrive at our own time and stay for as long as we wanted. Scooter rental in Bali is roughly 50K IDR ($5 AUD) per day.
However, if you aren’t confident or experienced in riding scooters, then hiring a driver for the day is really easy. We have found the cheapest Bali Drivers that will take you on any customised private tour around Bali. You can book your affordable Bali driver here.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT DUSUN KUNING WATERFALL
We arrived at the car park by following Google Maps. The ride up to Dusun Kuning Waterfall was beautiful as we drove through small villages and rice fields. At the car park there is also a stunning restaurant and swing over-looking the rice paddies.
Entry into the waterfall is 15K IDR ($1.5 AUD) per person. As you leave the car park you will need to follow the road for about 200m until you see the sign “Waterfall” to the left. From there, it is about a 15-minute steep walk down. Although there are many steps, the walk also includes flat stretches under smaller waterfalls and along the side of the creek. You feel like you are in a fairytale!
The waterfall itself is tall and thin and there is a small natural pool below to cool off. This is a perfect spot for swimming and there are even a few small rock pools to lie in.
WHEN TO VISIT DUSUN KUNING WATERFALL
Like all tourist attractions, we advise arriving as early as possible. However, as Dusun Kuning is a quiet spot, we still arrived around 10:00am and there was about 4 other people here.
The wet season in Bali lasts from November to February, however the water is flowing all year round. You can visit Dusun Kuning Falls anytime of the year.
