About this audio guide
This guide to Devil's Tears in Bali opens on an August 2019 morning when a tour guide warned her group to stay back from the cliff edge, and one visitor stepped closer anyway, phone raised, chasing a photo of the spray. It traces the history of this rocky cove, once called Batu Blek, and how the sea funnels through a natural rock arch beneath your feet to burst skyward as a column of mist, giving the site its name. Watch how the water pulls back before it strikes, and keep your feet on solid ground.
