Your Bali Trekking Tour · South Bali hotels
Your Bali Trekking Tour drives you to Uluwatu Temple on its cliff for sunset, then to the kecak fire dance at 6 pm, with seafood on the sand at Jimbaran as an option. It is the easiest romantic evening in south Bali to plan, because the car handles the traffic and the tickets are sorted.
Uluwatu is a sea temple on a cliff about 70 metres above the water, on Bali's southern tip. Your driver drops you there in the afternoon, you walk the cliff path, and you watch the sun go down over the Indian Ocean. Then comes the kecak fire dance at 18:00, a scene from the Ramayana chanted by a circle of men on the clifftop. The listing includes the temple entrance and the kecak ticket.
Know what private means here. The car and driver are yours. The temple and the kecak are not: the dance is staged for a full amphitheatre, and in bad weather it moves to a smaller stage. The resident monkeys are part of the visit too, and they are quick with sunglasses and phones.
The Jimbaran dinner needs a question before you book. The description says the seafood dinner on the sand is paid separately, but the includes list reads as if it were part of the tour. Confirm with the operator which one applies to your option. Religious ceremonies can also close roads, which the listing warns about, so leave slack in the evening.
Your driver collects you. Allow for south Bali traffic on the way to the Bukit peninsula.
Walk the clifftop paths. Sarongs are lent at the entrance; hold on to your sunglasses.
Bali's sunset comes around 6 pm through the year, which is why the dance starts then.
The Ramayana scene with chanting and fire on the clifftop stage, or a smaller stage if the weather turns.
Barbecued seafood on the sand at Jimbaran Bay. Ask beforehand whether it is included in your option.
Your driver takes you home.
