About Kecak Fire Dance Show

A guide for your evening at the kecak

Kecak Fire Dance Show is an independent guide for everyone who wants to see the kecak, the Balinese dance in which a circle of men chants the rhythm while dancers tell a chapter of the Ramayana. Here you will find what the entry ticket for the Uluwatu show covers and what the separate temple fee costs, when the show starts, how long it lasts and where to sit, how the stages at Uluwatu, Ubud, Melasti Beach, Tanah Lot and Garuda Wisnu Kencana differ, the story behind the dance and where it came from, which sunset tours add the show, how kecak compares with Barong and Legong, and how to keep your belongings safe from the temple monkeys.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: mostly the official site of Uluwatu Temple's managing body and the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism, with UNESCO for the inscribed Balinese dances, the Bali provincial government for Melasti Beach, the Denpasar climatology that BMKG publishes through the World Meteorological Organization, and day length we calculate ourselves. Information on tickets and tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide and Viator.

Official pages do not always agree with each other: the temple management, the Ministry of Tourism and the ticket listings give different figures for the same fee. Listings also differ in what they include, the temple entrance fee above all. That is why we tell you plainly who states which figure and what a listing leaves open.

How we make money

Kecak Fire Dance Show is funded through the GetYourGuide and Viator affiliate programs. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
