Uluwatu Temple stands on a limestone cliff 70 metres above the Indian Ocean, one of Bali's six great directional temples guarding the island from the southwest. Walk the cliff path as the sun drops, then take your seat in the open-air amphitheatre for the Kecak: a circle of bare-chested men chanting "cak-cak-cak" in place of a gamelan while the Ramayana story of Rama, Sita and the white monkey Hanuman unfolds in firelight against the sunset.
We time your pickup so you arrive with enough light to explore, skip the ticket queue, and keep your belongings safe from the temple's famously cheeky monkeys.
Times are a guide. Your driver adjusts to traffic, weather and temple ceremonies.
The classic South Bali evening: temple, fire dance and grilled seafood on the sand
Toes in the sand, fresh catch on the grill, sunset over the bay
Mount Batur view, the holy spring of Tampaksiring and the rice terraces of Tegallalang
