★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · from $43Our pick

Spend six hours with a private driver-guide visiting Padang Padang Beach and Uluwatu Temple before a sunset Kecak Fire Dance. Guides such as Berata, Krisda, Putra, and Yande are praised for local insight, smooth transfers, and help with Bali’s famously bold monkeys.

“Gorgeous view from Uluwatu and fascinating fire dance with great costumes. Our guide was extremely helpful in making certain our experience was enjoyable. The monkeys are aggressive at the temple and the sun quite hot so having a guide to assist really made it enjoyable plus he knew all the shortcuts to avoid the heavy traffic. Highly recommend!”
