How to get to Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls?
Since there isn’t really a public transportation system in Bali, you can only rely on private taxis or scooters to get around.
I recommend combining your visit with other waterfalls in the area such as Banyumala Twin Waterfalls and Git Git Waterfall to be more cost-effective. North Bali is home to some of the best waterfalls and it would be a shame to visit only one.
Private Taxi
The best way to get to Banyu Wana Amertha is to hire a private taxi. It costs around IDR 500k (US$ 33.90) but if you want to get a discount I recommend booking on Klook.

Private Waterfall Tour
You can also book a private waterfall tour. The tour includes all waterfall entrance fees, hotel transfers, and an English-speaking guide.

Scooter
If you’re comfortable riding a scooter, it’s one of the cheapest ways to get around Bali. Keep in mind that the roads around North Bali are usually very windy and steep thus a bit more challenging on a scooter.
Don’t forget your international driver’s license and for your own safety, make sure to always wear a helmet.

Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls Entrance Fee
Once you get to the waterfalls, you will find a large sign on the side of the road and a ticket booth just a few meters away.
The entrance fee to visit Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls is IDR 30k (US$ 2) and gives you access to all four waterfalls.
Some locals might offer to drive you on scooters to get closer to the waterfalls for a small fee but this isn’t necessary unless you’re not very fit.
What to expect at Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls?
As you walk past the entrance, you’ll find yourself along a path made of concrete steps surrounded by tropical plants and colorful flowers.
After about 10 minutes, you’ll reach an intersection with a sign showing the way to each waterfall.
None of the waterfalls at Banyu Wana Amertha have an official name but those on the left are referred to as “Bwa Waterfall” and “One Waterfall” while the other two found on the right are called “Twin Waterfalls” and “Spray Waterfall”.
Bwa Waterfall
Take the left and soon enough you’ll reach Bwa waterfall. With water streaming out of a rock wall covered by hanging vines, it’s truly an incredible sight!
There’s a small wooden hut where you can relax and have a picnic. The path on the left side of the waterfall leads to a changing room and toilet (both are free to use).
One Waterfall (Bhuana Sari Waterfall)
This one is also called Bhuana Sari waterfall. Unfortunately, it was completely dry when I visited in late October. For better luck, plan your visit during the rainy season which is from December to March.
Twin Waterfalls
Go back towards the intersection and take the right. The twin waterfalls are easy to get to with a few signs showing the way and you should reach the falls in less than five minutes.
When I visited there was also a third column of water flowing on the left side. You’ll also find a small bamboo bridge surrounded by colorful plants that would look great for photos.
Spray Waterfall
Spray waterfall is by far one of my favorites at Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls! You’ll definitely hear it before you see it! The massive waterfall flows down with such force sending water sprays all over you as you get closer.
It’s the perfect spot for a cool swim and a changing room is also available at the base of the waterfall. Make sure to watch out where you step as the rocks are very slippery here.

Where to stay near Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls?
Since Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall is located quite far away from the main tourist hubs in Bali, I recommend staying in Bedugul which is found about 40 minutes away. Thus, instead of spending a lot of time driving, you’ll have more time to visit other waterfalls nearby.
I highly recommend staying at Pondok Nyoman Guesthouse. Not only is it super cheap (from US$ 25 per night), the hotel is situated on top of a hill overlooking one of the most beautiful rice terraces in Bali.
The rooms are very spacious with a private balcony overlooking the pool and rice fields and breakfast is included for free!
