Kecak Uluwatu

Watching the Kecak Fire Dance at Uluwatu was such a fun experience! The performers interact with the audience, making the show entertaining, and the fire part was just amazing. Overall, the performance was really good. We got there around 5:30 pm for the tour with Get Your Guide, and then waited almost an hour in line between the tour and the dance, since the place gets really crowded — but we still managed to get great seats. The dance ran from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. Just be careful with the monkeys during the tour! The guides warn about it, but one of them grabbed a girl’s phone from our group. Luckily, our experienced guide was able to get it back.

An absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience. The Kecak Dance at Uluwatu is not only culturally fascinating, but also deeply impressive in its energy, rhythm, and storytelling. The setting makes it even more magical – watching the performance while the sun slowly sets over the ocean is simply breathtaking. The combination of culture, tradition, and nature creates a truly unique atmosphere. A must-see in Bali and something I can highly recommend to anyone visiting the island. 🌅✨

First traveling to Bali this is number one the my bucket list and definitely yours too. Breathtaking moment along the show with the combination of the sunset view? Come on! What a show. I bought online tickets but still waiting too long maybe there's a lot of people that time I visit. Prefer take the 6pm show so you can enjoy the sunset too. But bring your own hat, jacket or something to cover your face before the show. Cause in case to keep your seat have to wait and don't move. I wait around one hour

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A breathtaking experience that touches both heart and soul. We visited Uluwatu Temple on the third night of our Bali trip, and it was an evening I’ll never forget. Perched high on a cliff with sweeping ocean views, the temple radiates serenity and timeless beauty—especially at sunset, when the sky turns gold and the sea glistens far below. We stayed for the Kecak dance performance, and it was truly mesmerizing. Without instruments, the chorus of chanting voices created an atmosphere both primal and sacred. The way the dancers reenacted scenes from the Ramayana by firelight, with the ocean breeze brushing past, made it feel like we were witnessing something ancient and eternal. Everything—the natural beauty, the spiritual energy, and the cultural richness—made this a highlight of our journey through Bali. I highly recommend arriving before sunset to walk the temple grounds, then staying to witness the Kecak performance as darkness falls.

Yhe Kecak dance showcases a beautiful segment of the Ramayana. It was quite crowded, and it took us two hours to get there. I did recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the performance, as finding a place to sit can be challenging. The venue was overcrowded, and the sun was directly overhead, making it a bit uncomfortable at first. However, the sunset added a lovely touch to the experience. Personally, I found the dance just okay, and noticed many people leaving midway. There are a few shops outside the venue, and it’s best to be cautious around the monkeys.

Very crowded but absolutely gorgeous at sunset. Interesting dance to watch, and read the leaflet they give you before the dance to understand the plot better. Seating is on a concrete stadium with no real exit aisles, so it's not the most comfortable and please consider if that would be a problem for you before going. Some people do climb over others to leave early, but this was very distracting.

Overall, it was a decent performance. All the performers were dedicated and gave their best. However, the venue was extremely cramped. There were not enough seats for the audience, and many people had to sit on the floor, very close to the performers, which made the experience quite uncomfortable. The show could have been better if the space and seating had been arranged more appropriately. Moreover, even after the performance had already started, people continued entering the venue, despite the limited and overcrowded space. This made the atmosphere worse and disrupted both the audience and the performers. Unfortunately, the overall event management was very poor. We had to stand in line for over an hour just to get in. The crowd was overwhelming, and the queue management was a complete failure. The ticket price was quite high, but the experience did not match the value of what we paid. I was deeply disappointed.

Overall, it was a good and interesting experience with a great performance and atmosphere. The setting at Uluwatu Temple during sunset makes it even more special. However, without some background knowledge, the story can be difficult to fully understand, as there isn’t much explanation provided. Still, definitely worth seeing at least once while in Bali!
