About this tour

The temple itself hosts a resident monkey population that locals regard as spiritual protectors. Your guide handles transport and commentary throughout, returning you to your hotel by evening.

What to expect

Expect to depart your hotel mid-afternoon for a scenic drive to Uluwatu's clifftop temple complex. Once there, you'll have time to explore the temple architecture and watch the monkeys before settling in for the sunset. As light fades, performers in the courtyard begin the Kecak—a rhythmic, trance-like dance where dozens of men chant and sway, narrating the ancient love story through movement. The performance typically runs 30–45 minutes. After the show concludes, your driver returns you to your hotel, arriving around 8pm.
