Uluwatu: Kecak & Fire Dance Show Tickets and Tours

See the famous Kecak Fire Dance performed at the 11th-century Uluwatu Temple—an ancient Balinese sea shrine perched on dramatic ocean cliffs. Choose from ticket-only access or upgrade to a guided tour with hotel transfers and temple entry.

Getting started

The temple gets crowded before sunset, so arrive at least 30–45 minutes early. Entry gates are located near the main parking area, and staff will scan your ticket upon arrival. Expect a brief security screening and carry a valid ID if joining a guided tour. Sarongs are provided at the entrance as a sign of respect.

What to expect

Uluwatu Temple

A historic Balinese Hindu sea temple dating back to the 11th century, Uluwatu is revered for its spiritual significance and cliffside setting, 70 meters above the Indian Ocean.

The Kecak Fire Dance Show

• Performed in a stone amphitheater facing the ocean, with the sunset as a dramatic backdrop.

• 70–75 bare-chested male performers chant “cak-cak-cak” in hypnotic rhythm, re-enacting scenes from the Ramayana.

• Expect fire-walking, blazing torches, and storytelling through intricate hand gestures and facial expressions.

• The experience builds to a fiery climax that lights up the night sky—no music, just human vocals and raw energy.

• The show runs for 60 minutes and is entirely outdoors, so weather is a factor (carry water and sun protection if needed).

Extras

Upgrade options:

• Join-in Tour: Shared round-trip hotel transfers from select areas, English-speaking guide, Uluwatu Temple entry, and show ticket.

• Private Tour: All of the above, but with a private vehicle and personalized itinerary.

• Both options let you skip the long entry queues and enjoy cultural insights from your guide.
