For couples who seek adventure and love nature, there is no better place to propose than in front of Bali's spectacular waterfalls. These provide a breathtaking backdrop for an unforgettable moment. Bali is full of impressive waterfalls, from well-known to hidden gems. Here are some suggestions for an extraordinary proposal that could help you decide where to propose to your loved one.

1. Propose in front of the Tegenungan Waterfall

Tegenungan Waterfall is one of Bali's most famous waterfalls and provides an impressive backdrop for a dramatic proposal. Nestled in a dense jungle landscape, the waterfall forms a powerful spectacle of flowing water that is perfect for a marriage proposal. At Tegenuangan Waterfall you don’t have to hike too long and you don’t get wet standing in front of it which could be advantageous for taking pictures with a professional photographer. 

Tip: Try to come early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds and create a more private moment. You can propose right in front of the waterfall or in one of the quieter spots nearby.

2. Another hidden treasure: Leke Leke waterfall

For couples looking to get off the beaten track, Leke Leke Waterfall is the ideal choice. This secluded waterfall is located deep in the heart of the Balinese jungle and offers a tranquil and magical atmosphere. The path there takes you through dense vegetation, over small bridges, and along a calm river - a real adventure that is rewarded with the sight of the picturesque waterfall. The walk down takes longer than to go down at Tegenuangan waterfall, while the trail is still relatively short but can be a bit challenging, as it involves uneven terrain, steep steps, and some muddy patches, especially after rain.

Safety and logistics: Make sure you wear sturdy shoes and take plenty of water with you. It's worth scouting the route in advance to make sure you find the perfect spot for your proposal or ask us as your experts. 

3. Quiet proposal at the Tibumana waterfall

For couples who want to take it a little easier, Tibumana Waterfall is a great option. This peaceful, lesser-known waterfall is located near Ubud and offers a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Tibumana Waterfall is known for its simplicity and picturesque setting, which creates the perfect backdrop for a romantic proposal.

Tip: After the proposal, you can refresh yourselves in the clear water of the waterfall and enjoy the moment in complete tranquillity.

Safety aspects of waterfall proposals

Waterfalls provide a spectacular backdrop, but safety should always come first:* Be aware of weather conditions: Waterfalls can be dangerous, especially during the rainy season. Check the weather forecast and plan your visit during the dry season.

* Suitable footwear: The paths to the waterfalls can be slippery and uneven, so make sure you wear sturdy shoes.
* Privacy plan: If you want an intimate moment, visit the falls early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid crowds.
