Kecak Uluwatu

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

It was an unforgettable experience. Performed at sunset on a cliff overlooking the ocean, the chanting and movements create a mesmerizing atmosphere. The dancers’ energy and the dramatic story really bring Balinese culture to life. It’s a must-see show for anyone visiting Bali! Don’t forget to buy tickets online for shorter queues than buying on the spot

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.

Nice to Ramayan dance without speaking by actors. Must book ticket in advance to see 6pm show of Kecak dance. Spot tickets are also available in case online tickets are sold out. But you need to be in Que before 3pm to get the tickets staring at 4.30 pm. Beware of local taxi drivers as they are sitting in the que for their tourists and collect a good amount.

A must do experience in Bali is the Kecak performance with Uluwatu backdrop. This open air amphitheatre provides not just a view of the sea but also sunset views and the cliffside temple itself. The top dance troupe performs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Ticketing in advance is a must since seats run out very very quickly. Book online through Viator or any other partner platform. Recommend to be there at least thirty minutes in advance to get a nice seat. Terrific experience.

Watching the Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple was an unforgettable experience! The performance takes place during sunset, creating a magical atmosphere with breathtaking ocean views. The combination of traditional Balinese chanting, fire performances, and the stunning backdrop of the temple made this one of the highlights of my trip. I highly recommend buying tickets as soon as you enter the temple, as the show is extremely popular and always sells out. Experiencing this unique cultural event in such a spectacular setting was truly special. If you’re visiting Bali, this is an absolute must-see!

The Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple was absolutely captivating. Performed after sunset, the fire-lit stage created a dramatic atmosphere that made the dancing even more intense and mesmerising. The rhythm, storytelling, and movement of the performers were incredibly powerful – you could feel the emotion in every scene. A magical and must-see cultural experience in Bali!

A must to watch if you’re in Uluwatu area! Very interesting and fascinating story. We really enjoyed our time. You could also watch the sunset if you go at the 6PM showtime. Make sure to cover your legs up for both men and women as this is a temple. Just be sure to come early to get good seats and of course so you don’t interrupt when the show starts because they start on time.
