At Sekumpul Waterfall there are 7 waterfalls, but we can reach only 2 waterfalls because it is located near the main road and 5 other waterfalls are located in locations that require extra power to reach it.


This was mentioned about its uniqueness, this waterfall has two water sources, but it will clearly be seen in the rainy season, because when it rains and there is a flood, one of the water sources will be cloudy because it comes from another river and the other will be clear because sourced from springs.

- Entry fee; Rp. 4,000

- Guide: Rp. 100,000 per group


Taman bawah laut
The island is called Menjangan Island because on this island there are indeed many deer species whose population is decreasing so that the government has made Menjangan Island a West Bali National Park in an effort to save it from extinction.

Menjangan Island is synonymous with diving and snorkeling activities, this island has many diving and beautiful coral reefs. You can find coral reefs starting from a depth of 10 meters.

The formation of coral reefs indeed surrounds Menjangan Island, even the formation of coral rocks at a depth of 60 meters forms small and large caves with a function as habitat for marine animals such as soft corals, small snappers, large groupers, and batfish. The seabed also includes tuna, batfish, jackfish, angelfish, sea turtles and even sharks.


There are diving spots on Menjangan Island, including:


Eel Gardens


Eel Gardens is a diving spot located west of Menjangan Island. In this spot there are lots of collection of sea fans and eel gardens according to the spot name.


Secret Bay

Anchor Wreck

For those of you who have become professional divers, you can try a diving location called Anchor Wreck. The deeper the dive site, the greater the risk, because at a depth of about 45 meters, you can see the uniqueness of a shipwreck that has been rusted completely with its anchors. According to opinions circulating in the community, this ship sank in the 19th century at the time of World War II and this ship was owned by the Dutch.

The Great Pagoda Building Dewi Kwam Im is the most unique place of worship. This Tri Dharma place of worship has a Buddhist architecture consisting of three undag and is similar to a pagoda. The pink color dominates this sacred building, another uniqueness is that it is not permissible to offer meat in this holy place.

Ex Port of Buleleng, remembers the glory of the past Buleleng



Ex-Buleleng Port - There are still many tourist attractions in Buleleng Regency, but still not exposed and managed as much as possible. But we should be proud of what we have, moreover I am from Buleleng.

The old city in North Bali is a city that had become the capital of the Province of Bali and its center of shipping because it has the largest pier in Bali called the Port of Buleleng.

Buleleng Port is located about 2.5 kilometers from Singaraja City and is about 160 kilometers from Kuta. Before arriving at Buleleng Harbor if you depart from Kuta, you will find Taman Ayun, Eka Karya Botanical Garden, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, and Lake Tamblingan and Lake Buyan.

For some reason, the capital of the Province of Bali was moved to the city of Denpasar, this made the glory of Buleleng Harbor slowly disappear. This port used to be a haven for cruise ships, loading, and unloading of goods, the initial gateway to Bali, but now history. Old buildings that remain empty will only become memories.

The Port of Buleleng witnessed the history of the battle of the Buleleng people with the Dutch army. To commemorate the courage of the people of Buleleng, in 1987 the government built the Yudha Mandala Tama Monument. A monument with a statue of a young man pointed to the north while holding a pointed bamboo which was tied to a red and white flag.




Around 2005 the government began to pay attention to this port, old buildings began to be painted and added gardens and floating dining places in lieu of the pier. tourists usually visit this place during the afternoon while watching the beautiful sun. Some just sit back, some take pictures just to capture their moments, there are also those who eat food in the restaurant accompanied by the beautiful sunset.


Because this port was still active, through this port the entry of our Chinese brothers to settle in Buleleng. With the entry of Chinese people into Singaraja, cultural acculturation took place which we can see from the temple ornaments which have little Chinese ornaments and Singaraja's special food which is the result of acculturation of the two cultures is siobak.


Klenteng Ling Gwan Kiong

Near the east entrance, there was a temple with an oriental-style architecture known as Ling Gwan Kiong. Until now, this temple is still often used for prayer and the place for wedding ceremonies for Buddhists. You will be allowed to enter this temple even though this temple is a place of worship for the Tri Dharma people and the temple guards will guide you happily.


With the red color striking in the area surrounding the former Port of Buleleng, Ling Gwan Kiong Temple is located in front of the former port of Buleleng. Ling Gwan Kiong Temple is a place of worship for the people of Tri Dharma is one of the old temples in Buleleng district according to the info established around 1873 AD. Around the former Buleleng port, there are also some religious buildings such as temples, temples, and mosques, this unique thing is a reflection of inter-religious harmony.


If you are interested in visiting the former Port of Buleleng, you can see its location on the map below:

The love story of Jayaprana and his wife, Layon Sari, because it is very famous in Bali until his grave is now a tourist spot. The story of an orphan who came from Kalianget Village, Buleleng died as a result of love with a woman whom the king liked too. When the outbreak struck Kalianget Village, only Jayaprana was the only person who survived the attack of an infectious disease that attacked his family. Because the King was merciful to Jayaprana, the King invited him to the palace. Little Jayaprana then decided to devote himself to the King and lived in the court of the Kingdom of Wanakeling. Jayaprana was very dear to the king, as he grew up he became a handsome young man with clean white skin, increasing Jayaprana's authority. Because he had grown up, the king ordered Jayaprana to travel around his kingdom to see a girl who could be his mooring. Jayaprana also found a girl who so captivated her heart, the girl named Layon Sari and Jayaprana also managed to marry Layon Sari who was famous for her beauty.


But it is very unfortunate, the King was also attracted to Jayaprana's wife. The king seeks a way to get rid of Jayaprana so that the King can have Layon Sari. The King also sent Jayaprana to western Bali to fight pirates, but when he arrived at Teluk Accept, Jayaprana was killed by Patih Sunggaling on the orders of the King. Although that was the king's reason for being able to get rid of Jayaprana (sent to West Bali) so that the King could have a reason for Layon Sari that Jayaprana died in the battlefield. Because Layon Sari's love for Jayaprana is so great, Layon Sari decides to commit suicide in order to catch up with her beloved husband so that the King fails to have Layon Sari. True love is brought to death, that's the love story of Jayaprana and Layon Sari. Love brings joy and sorrow.


What a great love for both of them, until they are willing to die to be together in the realm of eternity. Nothing can replace his beloved partner, alive, once in a lifetime.


Jayaprana's body and Layon Sari were buried and built a temple to commemorate their true love story. Access to the road to this tomb is good. The location is at an altitude so from this place you can see Menjangan Island and Lovina Beach from a distance.
