Bali Uluwatu Sunset Tour — Private Car, Kecak Dance & Jimbaran Seafood

The Experience
Before You Go
Dress for temple entry
Wear modest clothing and bring a lightweight sarong or scarf—sashes are often available but bringing your own speeds entry.
Protect against sun and spray
Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses matter on exposed cliffs; the late-afternoon sun is strong until the last hour.
Watch your belongings around macaques
Long-tailed macaques frequent the temple—keep bags zipped and phones stowed to avoid grabs.
Allow buffer time for traffic
South Bali traffic can add 30–60 minutes; schedule extra time, especially if catching a sunset or returning to Denpasar airport.
