- Kecak and Fire Dance - Set against the stunning backdrop of Uluwatu Temple on Bali’s cliffs, the Kecak dance narrates Prince Rama’s mission to save Princess Sita from the demon king Ravana, inspired by the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. As the sun sets, bare-chested male performers form a circle, chanting “cak, cak, cak” in a captivating rhythm, representing Hanuman’s monkey army. Within this rhythmic circle, the main characters perform with graceful movements and expressive gestures, leading to a dramatic battle between good and evil. The dance, with its vibrant vocal chants and intricate choreography, offers an immersive cultural experience that captivates audiences with its power and beauty, highlighting the rich Balinese tradition amidst Uluwatu’s natural beauty.

Amazing - I booked an excursion to go to Uluwatu, it was an incredible day, superb view, incredible temple, kancak dance and seafood platter facing the sea. My driver Manik was incredible, kind, smiling, attentive, without him this excursion would have been different I think.
I would like to thank Manik for helping me discover Uluwatu. I highly recommend Manik, the best driver.

Amazing Experience - I had an amazing experience with Manick as my driver and guide. After mentioning how much I liked coffee, he offered to stop at a coffee tasting tour that was an awesome experience. He also gave me a lot of information about the temple and its history and made my first day in Bali extremely memorable!

Amazing afternoon with Vicky! - We were picked up from our Villa by our tour guide Vicky. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. He was so easy to talk too, and explained what to do and what not to do regarding the monkeys at Padang Padang Beach and Uluwatu Temple. We had a 1 year old with us and felt more than safe with Vicky’s guidance throughout our trip, and he took all our photos!
We can’t recommend this tour and Vicky enough.
Also the car ride vibes were a 10/10!

Not a place to visit with young children - BE AWARE OF MONKEYS! The monkeys in the Uluwatu temple area are quite out of control. The monkey tried to take off the sandals of the three year old girl in my group, and scratched her mum while she was trying to protect her daughter. We have to rush to hospital to get stitches and vaccines. I would say this place is not suited for family with young children, as the monkey clearly targeted young children.
