Around 16.30 - 17.00 we will continue the tour to the sacred temple of Uluwatu. It is located at the top of a steep cliff 70 meters above the ocean level. Anticipate breathtaking landscapes and the opportunity to watch the ocean waves breaking on the rocks. At the temple itself you will meet local monkeys - they are funny, but it is better to take off any accessories you wear and leave them in the car. During the walk you will be surrounded by wonderful places that you would definitely want to capture on camera.

Closer to sunset time, we will head to the amphitheater to watch the Kecak fire dance. This unique dance is truly beautiful and peculiar. You will experience a complete immersion in the culture and traditions of Bali. The combination of an ancient dance, a view of the endless ocean with the setting sun all create a magical atmosphere and make the Kecak dance very spectacular!

After watching the dance, if you wish, we can drop you off by a restaurant for dinner on the way back home.
