Red Coral Waterfall or Munduk Waterfall — Attraction in Bali

A beautiful waterfall with several vantage points to enjoy the experience. One can walk across the water on rocks and be immersed in the fresh spray to cool off or sit at the side and just watch. The guys on the gate were a fun bunch, full of smiles and laughter, so Bali. They collected the 45000 IDR fee, and takecare of the area's maintenance, which was well kept. We walked from Munduk via a small unnamed fall towards Melanting Falls, but failed to reach it due to the ambiguous and sometimes non existent trail markings. We came across the Spice Farm and proceeded to Labuhan Kebo Falls on a fairly easy and well defined track. Another well kept falls precinct, worth the visit. From there we headed to Red Coral Falls on a picturesque track and stopped at R&R Coffee Corner, for a wonderful coffee and Balinese snack. A fellow traveller told us of this place. Google Maps is not much use in navigation between the Labuhan Kebo Falls and Red Coral Falls, as it doesn't accept that there is a direct route. Maps will send you on a very long detour. Many tracks are not visible, giving rise to the idea to use a guide. There are two routes back to Munduk from Red Coral Falls, a left turn upon departure from the Falls will lead to a fork in the track, the left goes up to the carpark and to the Munduk trafficable road, whereas the right fork will take a fairly easy grade back to the Munduk road further down the hill near Melanting Cottages. It's a downhill roadside walk from there; take extra care in the sometimes chaotic conditions as footpaths...

To reach this waterfall, first go to the spot marked as 1, then walk to Golden Valley Waterfall (marked 2). From there, continue for another 15 minutes on foot to reach Red Coral Waterfall (marked 3). You’ll see direction signs along the way. The path is well-maintained and very easy to walk, following alongside a small stream.

You might even meet a lovely lady selling bananas perfect for a quick energy boost 🍌

In our opinion, the entrance fee of 45k IDR/person is quite expensive, especially considering that many other nearby waterfalls are either free or around 20k IDR.

The waterfall flows from a tall cliff in a pillar-like stream. The mist from the falling water gives you a refreshing cool breeze 💦 It’s not really ideal for swimming, though.

From here, you can continue on to visit Belong, Labuhan Kebo, and Melanting Waterfalls they’re all nearby!

📌 One thing to note: Many people upload photos of different waterfalls under the same location tag, which can be confusing. Make sure you’re at the right one!

Out of the 4 waterfalls in the area, this is , in my opinion, by far the least impressive, yet it is most expensive at 45k. All other 3 were spectacular with steps and a clear walkway down charge 20k. This one just has a tiny path and charges 45k for what I'm not sure as there was no maintenance. There was also a young girl, I'm assuming with some of the staff, going around taking photos and videos of us, and we felt she kept coming up quite close to us. I'm not sure about her agenda, but it made us uncomfortable to leave our belongings so we didn't stay here long at all. Would say if you were tight on time to just skip this one at the price, it's...
