Review Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Uluwatu Day Tour
Take in Bali’s best sunset spot at Uluwatu Temple, a Balinese temple to the sea gods dating from the 10th century, with a commanding view of the Indian ocean high on a cliff top. Also called Pura Luhur, the temple is part of a series of temples built to protect the island from evil spirits, and it was also where renowned Shaivite figure Dang Hyang Dwijendra had his final place of worship. After exploring the temple and watching the sunset, experience one of Bali’s most famous cultural performances, the Kecak Fire Dance. Watch the Balinese act out a scene from the Ramayana with a mesmerizing trance chant, punctuated by exciting fire dances by performers in intricate costumes. After visiting Luhur Uluwatu, travelers can also visit Tanah Lot, Uluwatu beach, Nusa Dua, or Padang Padang beach. Overall, this guarantees an unforgettable evening of Balinese culture that the whole family can enjoy.

Product: [JAPANESE GUIDE] Shared Tour · Uluwatu Temple & Kecak Uluwatu
Our guide picked us up right on time! It always feels a bit strange to have a Japanese-speaking guide since I usually have English-speaking ones. And today, I was the only one on the tour (*☻-☻*) The roads were clear, and we even stopped at a shop where I could try civet coffee. It was my first time trying civet coffee 🐈 and wow, it was strong! Afterward, we went to Uluwatu Temple. Even though it was a weekday, the parking lot was full and crowded. I was told absolutely not to wear sunglasses because the monkeys would steal them, so I left them in the car. We got to see the sunset, and it was absolutely beautiful. The guide worked hard to explain the temple to me. I was the only one watching the Kecak dance, but it was very close and powerful. However, waiting in the open-air venue at that time of day, the sunset was so hot that I was exhausted. Some people were still entering even after the scheduled time, and the stair seating was completely packed, probably at 150% capacity. The sunset and fire were incredibly beautiful, and I enjoyed the dance, which even involved the audience at one point. On the way back, there was a huge traffic jam (T ^ T). I was asked if I wanted to stop for dinner or a souvenir shop, and I chose the souvenir shop. The mountain roads in Bali made even me, who usually doesn't get carsick, feel a little nauseous, haha. I wasn't in the mood for food. I'm sorry. The souvenir shop we stopped at had prices more than half off what you'd pay in Ubud, which made me realize those were probably the original prices. It was so cheap I even checked the prices. It was truly so much fun. Thank you so much for looking out for me like a father, asking if I'd forgotten anything, and worrying about the monkeys! I really feel that Indonesian people are incredibly kind, and I didn't see anyone who seemed irritated. They were genuinely helpful when I was in trouble. In fact, the next day, they even personally arranged my transfer to the airport. I was a little worried if they would actually show up, but they arrived and waited even before the meeting time. I'm truly grateful 。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。 This was a trustworthy guide who I would definitely want to show me around again when I come back to Bali! My gratitude is boundless; I send my biggest thank you ❤︎

Our Guide/Ketut Karya has been great and fantastic. Ketut is patient and calm even on long ride. Kind and easy to communicate on whatsapp or in-person. Very helpful during the tour.
We booked Uluwatu Temple with Kecak Dance tour. Timing is perfect with pickup of 2pm (Ubud) and arriving at 4:30pm. Perfect for afternoon-sunset view at the temple. Kecak dance is really great and fun to watch. We watched the session1 (6pm) with just right amount of sunlight. Witnessing and experiencing Uluwatu is a must when travelling to Bali.
Thank you for the experience.

We had a great experience at Uluwatu Temple and the Kecak Fire Dance. Our guide, Made, was very friendly and helpful. He even lined up for our tickets while we explored the temple, which made everything more convenient for us.
He also shared stories about his life and Bali, and he could communicate well in English. The sunset view was beautiful, and the Kecak Dance was a unique experience. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable tour. Highly recommended.

I think the itinerary is fine, but it would be great if you could contact us a little earlier. Otherwise, I'm really not sure if my booking was successful. I believe Melasti Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen in Bali, and I highly recommend visiting it! Uluwatu Temple was a bit boring, to be honest. It was full of monkeys, and I was very worried they would snatch my glasses and hat. I actually saw instances of hats and glasses being stolen along the way, which was quite frightening! The Kecak Fire Dance was very localized and really showcased the local culture, but I must say, if you're not interested in local culture, definitely don't go. Otherwise, you might not be able to immerse yourself and feel completely restless! However, I personally thought it was pretty good, especially the monkeys' performance, which was very enthusiastic!

The fire dance was a sight to behold, especially with the sunset behind. We were booked on the first show at 6pm which was better than the 7pm one as it was still bright when the show started. Oka was my guide and driver and he made sure we were well taken care of, including protecting us from the monkeys!

I had a great time in this tour. I took the solo traveler package for Padang-padang beach, Suluban beach and Uluwatu Kecak dance. the guide Mr. Agus brought me to the attraction places with careful planning to avoid the congestion traffic in Uluwatu. He is a very good driver and I recommend to ask him about Balinese cultures, beliefs and other attraction recommendations. I highly recommend going to this trip.

This is a new kind of tour for a first timer in Bali. it's worth to have a private tour specially in a family with small kid, it's not hussle and we can request adjustment of time in every itinerary that we went. Yogi our tour driver is good in English, patient and gentleman. He is responsive and kind. The tourist spots are one of a kind, it's so surreal in personal. It was too hot when we are touring but it was worth it. Cliff, Melasti, Luwak coffee, Jimbaran is 🧡. Uluwatu temple tour is a bit exhausting&hot but the cliff scenery is 🧡
