TEMPLES & SHRINES · ULUWATU TEMPLE TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 5 temple tours worth the money, each with its price, its start time and the one thing to know before the gate.
You’ll watch a one-hour Kecak and Fire Dance at Uluwatu Temple, where rhythmic chanting, Ramayana scenes, colorful costumes, and fire unfold above the Indian Ocean. Choose the 6 PM show for sunset, arrive early for a seat, and bring cash for the separate temple entry fee.
“It was an amazing experience. Definitely go to the 6pm showing to see the sunset!”
Visit Uluwatu Temple with an English or Indonesian-speaking guide, hear the story behind its sea-god shrine, and watch monkeys patrol the cliffs. Add shared or private transfers, lunch, and the 6 pm Kecak Fire Dance, where early arrival matters for a good seat.
“Komang was really kind and helpful, and told us a lot of interesting facts. Thank you”
Spend three hours with English-speaking silversmiths in Kuta or Uluwatu, turning 2 to 5 grams of Indonesian silver into one handmade ring, bracelet, or other piece. You choose a sample or bring a workable design, then melt, shape, solder, sand, and polish it with guidance from instructors such as Made.
“Fun and great value for money, the teachers are very helpful and make every step simple. The pieces turned out beautifully highly recommend”
Ride a single or tandem ATV through muddy forest tracks near Pecatu with a professional guide, safety gear, refreshments, lunch, showers, and towels included. Add the Uluwatu Swing for panoramic photos. Expect a real workout, plenty of mud, and helpful guides who can film the ride on your phone.
“Amazing, they let me have my fun as i love adrenaline, we did donuts, jumps, bit raced with guide, loads of fun”
At Rolling Fork Restaurant near Padang Padang Beach, an English or Indonesian-speaking silversmith guides you through making one silver jewelry design. You can choose from sample styles or create your own, then saw, file, stamp, hammer, and polish 1 to 6 grams of silver into a personal Bali souvenir.
“Such a fun and creative experience! Very hands on and some great options to choose from. Completely obsessed with my ring and excited to do this again in future!”
Sunrise, sunset, on foot or by tuk-tuk.
