Watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean from an ancient clifftop temple where macaque monkeys roam freely and traditional Kecak fire dances perform nightly. Arrive early to explore the temple complex perched 200 feet above crashing waves, then stay for sunset when the sky explodes in colors that reflect off the temple's weathered stone.

“Our visit was designed to take in the beauty of the hill top. It was neat to see the views off the cliffs and the sounds of the surf coming up. [...] The Temple at Uluwatu was an excellent and worthwhile stop on any visit to Bali. We took in the beauty of the place at sunset, and enjoyed the sounds of the surf between errant monkeys running wild through the cliffside. Like many things in Bali, while it takes a little time to get to, the time spent was well worth the reward.”
