What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Red Coral Waterfall is praised for its impressive, pillar-like cascade and refreshing mist, set amidst lush greenery. While accessible and scenic, some visitors note it has more man-made structures than other falls and find the 45k IDR entrance fee a bit steep. The walk is manageable, though the return can be tiring, and it's more for viewing than swimming. +1
"This is a very beautiful and peaceful waterfall, definitely worth visiting. The walk down is not filled with a lot of stairs, but the path is slightly steep in some areas. It takes about 15 minutes or less to reach the waterfall, and the journey itself is quite pleasant.
Once you arrive, the scenery is absolutely stunning and very serene , a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. There is a small entrance fee of less than $3 USD, paid in cash, which is very reasonable for such a beautiful place.
I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the Munduk area."

"Munduk Waterfall is a stunning display of Bali’s natural beauty. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant tropical landscape, the falls offer an ideal setting for photos and peaceful moments in nature. The waterfall itself is powerful and scenic, embodying the island's vibe perfectly. While it does draw a lot of tourists which can make photo timing difficult, the overall experience is still very enjoyable. Some areas near the far end are currently under construction for what appears to be a future viewing platform, which should enhance the visit once complete. A worthwhile stop for any Bali traveler."

"Most accessible of the 4 falls, probably also why it ended up with most man made structures around it. There is no room for wading, so only take pictures. Silly. My advice is to skip this fall if you looking for more natural settings. See my photos to decide."
