Private Half-Day Tour: Uluwatu Sunset Trip and Dinner Packages

4.Private Half-Day Tour: Uluwatu Sunset Trip and Dinner Packages

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 219 reviews · from $65

Review of Bali’s private Uluwatu sunset tour, Kecak fire dance, temple visit, transfers, and Jimbaran seafood dinner.

“The show at Uluwatu was great. Travelled with kids and they loved it. From Bali is quite a ride with traffic ( around 1.5 hours ) and you get there early to facilitate the crowds getting to their seats but was worth it. Afterwards we had the seafood dinner on the beach. The location was great and we had a beachfront table, feet in the sand enjoying the views. However the seafood dinner was extremely average. Portions were small. Fish was dry and over cooked. Travelled and paid for a group of 5 people including dinner however dinner only provided for 4 people,. Only received 4 bottles of water. Was…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · from $43

Review of Bali’s private Uluwatu sunset tour, Padang Padang Beach, Kecak Fire Dance, transport, price, safety tips, and practical advice.

“Simply excellent. From the beginning to the end. Very well organized and our tour guide - apart from his exceptional English - provided us a lot of help, making sure that we, for example, behaved the right way while confronting monkeys, who stole right in front of us smartphones, sun and prescription glasses, bags and hats from other tourists; we remained unharmed thanks to our guide - who also intervened several times to protect us. Kecak Fire Dance Show follows the same Ramayana story as everywhere in Indonesia. But don't get mistaken: the performance is unique and, even if the story is classic, you'll enjoy it a lot. If you…”
