Booking Overview

The Uluwatu Kecak Dance is one of Bali’s most iconic cultural performances. It’s held daily at sunset in an open-air amphitheater on the cliffs of Uluwatu Temple, with the Indian Ocean as the backdrop.
The show features about 50 Balinese men chanting “chak chak chak” in rhythmic unison, retelling a scene from the Ramayana epic. There’s no musical instrument — just the sound of the human voice, fire, and movement. It performance lasts about an hour.
There are 2 shows each day: 5:45 PM, and 6:45 PM. The earlier show gets you the dramatic sunset, the later show feels more intense in the dark. Aim to arrive early to grab good seats.
For example, if you’re staying in Seminyak and prefer the the 5:45 PM performance, you’ll be picked up around 3:00 PM to arrive for 4:30 – 4:45 PM. Your driver will guide you through the gates.
