Uluwatu Temple & Kecak Sunset

Uluwatu · operated by Warung Culture

Clifftop temple at golden hour followed by the kecak fire dance in the amphitheatre.

About this experience

You arrive at Pura Luhur Uluwatu in the late afternoon, when the light on the limestone cliffs is at its best, and walk the clifftop path with a guide who explains the temple's role as one of Bali's six sad kahyangan directional temples. At sunset you take reserved seating in the open-air amphitheatre for the kecak — around seventy men chanting in interlocking rhythm while the Ramayana is performed, ending with the fire scene. The guide gives you the outline of the story before it starts so the performance is easier to follow.
