Yes, Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali's most visited temples, famous for its striking oceanfront location, perched high on the sea cliffs along the southwest coast. Time your visit for sunset to catch the traditional Kecak dance show performed each evening outside the temple—a quintessential Bali experience. Snag tickets in advance, as the popular show often sells out, or, to make the most of your time, consider booking one of the many Bali sightseeing tours that include a sunset visit to Uluwatu.

Per one customer who booked the Private Uluwatu Sunset Tour With Kecak Dance and Dinner, "We loved the Uluwatu experience and the Kecak dance. We visited the coffee plantation as well. Our driver and guide, Wayan, was very kind and helped us guide our way past the monkeys in the temple area. He brought us printouts to follow the story behind the dance, which was very helpful for my kids. We got to admire a beautiful sunset over the Indian Ocean. Highly recommend!"

The Uluwatu Temple show, a combination of the captivating Kecak dance performance and fire dance, happens daily at 6pm, shortly before sunset. Tickets go on sale at 5pm but you’ll need to line up before then to buy them. During the high season, it’s often worth booking a tour to ensure entry.

How long you need at Uluwatu Temple depends on whether you plan to see the kecak and fire dance performance, which lasts about an hour. Allow 30 minutes to 1.5 hours for seeing the temple and capturing sunset pictures, plus another hour for the performance.
