Uluwatu Temple with Balinese dance half-day tour

See the best of Bali on a tour designed by the locals – combining a visit to Uluwatu Temple and a special Balinese dance performance. And to top it off, there's no need to set an alarm – this afternoon lets you immerse yourself in Balinese culture without waking up too early. First on the agenda is the holy temple of Uluwatu. The iconic pagoda is perched on a cliff high above the sea, in the far south of Bali. Its impressive location makes it the perfect place to watch the sun go down while watching ‘kecak' – a unique combination of song and theatre.It's a mix of powerful chanting, intricate costumes and complex moves that recounts a tale from the Ramayana, an ancient Sanskrit text. The monkeys are all part of the story – look out for Hanuman, the white monkey warrior.
