ACA 4C
High flood risk
Singaraja, Bali
North Bali tropical canyon with a tall natural waterslide and platform jumps, ropewiki grade 4C II PG.
Sits in Sambangan village near Singaraja. The waterslide and jumps are the draw, not the rope work. Independent descent is not realistic given the village access regime; this is a guided trip in practice. Ropewiki page is thin on metric details (no rappel count, no distance/elevation), the commercial operators publish more accurate logistics. Heavy rain afternoons are the norm in the Bali wet season; morning slots are safer.
Logistics
| Manager | Local village (banjar) access committee / commercial guide concession |
|---|---|
| Permit | Permit required. Local village (banjar) controls access; in practice the descent is run as a commercial trip with one of the licensed Bali canyoning operators (Adventure and Spirit, Bali Canyoning, others). Entrance fee per person plus guide fee. |
| Time | ~3.5 hr (30 min approach, 3 hr descent) |
| Technical | Tropical waterfall canyon in north Bali. Ropewiki rates 4C II PG. Swift water hazard. Signature features are a high natural waterslide and platform jumps rather than long technical rappels. |
| Season | Year round (Apr-Oct dry season preferred) |
| Flood risk | High. Steep volcanic catchment off the Buleleng ridge flashes on tropical downpours; the guide concession makes the daily call. |
| Vehicle access | Passenger car / shuttle from Singaraja or Lovina |
| Crowd | Daily commercial groups in season |
| Coordinates | -8.1742, 115.106 |
