Uluwatu Sunset, Kecak Dance & Jimbaran Seafood Dinner — Half-Day Bali Tour
Watch the sun fall from a cliffside temple, hear 50 voices fold the Ramayana into a trance-like Kecak, then finish with grilled seafood on Jimbaran beach. This half-day Bali tour pairs dramatic coastal geology with living cultural performance and a beachfront dinner.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for a temple viewpoint
Sunset draws crowds; arrive at least 45 minutes before sunset to secure a clear view and seating for the Kecak performance.
Dress respectfully for the temple
Shoulders and knees should be covered; sarongs are often available to borrow at the entrance but bring your own for speed and hygiene.
Watch your belongings around macaques
Long-tailed macaques are bold—secure cameras, phones and loose bags to avoid grab-and-run incidents.
Allow extra time for traffic to Jimbaran
The drive between Uluwatu and Jimbaran can take 20–40 minutes at sunset—factor this into pickup and dinner timing.

Good grip for temple steps, rocky viewpoints and beach sand transitions.
Light rain shell or compact umbrella
Wet season (Nov–Mar) can bring sudden showers; keep a small shell handy.

How long is the Kecak performance?
The Kecak and fire dance performance typically runs about 40–50 minutes and is performed at dusk for the best effect.
Can I eat at Jimbaran Beach vegetarian-style?

Are children and seniors able to do this tour?
Yes, but the temple includes steep paths and steps; people with limited mobility or spinal issues should check accessibility and consider the private transport-only option.
