About this tour
Watch the Kecak fire dance performed against a burning sky at Uluwatu's clifftop temple, then feast on fresh seafood at Jimbaran Beach. This 7–8 hour private tour starts with a driver pickup from your accommodation in South Bali, whisks you to the ancient temple perched 70 metres above the Indian Ocean, and finishes with dinner as the sun dips into the water. You'll see macaques roaming the temple grounds and learn the history of this 1000-year-old spiritual site from an English-speaking guide.

What to expect
Your driver collects you mid-afternoon and drives towards Uluwatu's clifftop temple. You'll explore the temple grounds, watch monkeys in the surrounding forest, and find a spot for the Kecak dance—an hypnotic chant-and-fire spectacle performed by a circle of shirtless men as the sun descends. After the show (roughly 90 minutes), head to Jimbaran Beach for dinner. You'll sit at a table in the sand with grilled seafood, cold drinks, and the ocean beside you. The whole experience unfolds at a relaxed pace; expect crowds at the temple and beach, especially during peak season.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for temple stairs and uneven ground. Bring a light wrap or sarong for the evening breeze and temple etiquette. Women menstruating should skip the temple visit per local custom. Not suitable if you have spinal or heart conditions, or are pregnant. Service animals welcome.
