Itinerary
One of very popular beach after the Julia Robert movie "eat pray love' took place on this beach. It is a romantic place to relax as well as swimming.
Visit Uluwatu cliff temple overlooking the Indian Ocean. The beautiful view of the cliff and the temple attract many people to visit this temple every day. You will have a chance to watch the sacred kecak fire dance during the sunset. It is one of a sacred dance in Balinese tradition which is played by more than 40 people.
The Kecak dance at Uluwatu, set against the majestic backdrop of the Uluwatu Temple perched on Bali's cliffs, tells the tale of Prince Rama's quest to rescue Princess Sita from the demon king Ravana, drawing from the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. As the sun sets, bare-chested male performers form a circle, chanting "cak, cak, cak" in a mesmerizing rhythm, embodying the monkey army led by Hanuman. Against this rhythmic backdrop, the central characters enact their roles with graceful movements and expressive gestures, culminating in a dramatic battle between good and evil. The dance, with its vibrant vocal chants and intricate choreography, creates an immersive cultural experience that leaves spectators spellbound by its power and beauty, showcasing the rich heritage of Balinese tradition amidst the natural splendor of Uluwatu.

Operator was Hire Bali Driver and the driver’s name Berata. He was great! Picked us up from our hotel in Nusa Dua and took us to GWK and then Uluwata Temple / Dance, to a restaurant and delivered back home. A charming guy who was great at English. This is a much much better way of doing the trip than just hiring Grabs or you’ll just get stuck at the Temple for ages if you do that. Ask for Berata (driver’s name) especially if you are in Nusa Dua
Dear V4083LUscottr, Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that you had the best day on your tour and that Berata made a positive impact with his stories and insights.

I had a problem with my join-in tour with another operator I booked through Klook. I wanted to focus on the Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Dance Tour, so I asked ChatGPT for nearby tour operators in Ubud. Fortunately, Hire Bali Driver was recommended. I had a fantastic experience with Wah Ko. Even while driving, he shared his knowledge about the tour. He was incredibly hospitable and great at taking vid/pictures. Overall, I had a great experience with this operator. Initially, I was hesitant because they mentioned that Pandawa Beach wasn’t included in the visit. However, Wah Ko explained that the cliff I wanted was actually at the Uluwatu Temple. I will recommend it to my friends and family!

A very memorable experience for us. We met our daughter’s high school classmates at the dance. How cool is that. We’re all from Melbourne and haven’t seen each other for about at least 15-20 years. It’s WOW. Gusde our guide look after us with care, very polite and really good at his job. Highly recommended. I will request him next time we’re back. All good with him.
