- Uluwatu Temple - Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali’s iconic cliff temples, perched atop a rock with a breathtaking view of the sunset and the Indian Ocean. It was constructed in the 11th century by a Hindu holy man named Empu Kuburan during his sacred journey to Bali.
- Kecak and Fire Dance - The Kecak Dance, one of Bali’s most renowned performances, was created in the 1930s by Balinese artist Wayan Limbak in collaboration with Walter Spies, a German painter and musician. Drawing inspiration from the sacred Sanghyang dance, which is performed to repel negative spirits, they transformed the ritual into a dramatic storytelling dance based on the Ramayana epic. Unlike traditional Balinese dance, the Kecak Dance does not use musical instruments; instead, it relies entirely on the synchronized chanting of a large male chorus, producing the famous “cak-cak-cak” sound.
- Jimbaran Bay - Inspired by Jimbaran’s traditional seafood barbecue culture, the dinner offers fresh seafood complemented by the fiery sunset view.

Great Uluwata Tour! - Gede was great! On time, knowledgeable and flexible given we’ve got three kids with us! We went to Padang Padang beach, the temple and saw the fire dance - he handled tickets and guided us. We then stopped for dinner at a western-friendly spot.

Great Uluwatu Temple tour, combined with a custom beach & water sports day - We were so glad we went with GAD tours, with Made our guide, to visit Uluwatu Temple. On top of planning a custom half day of beach and water sports activities for us (we're a family and wanted to squeeze in some fun adventures on that day), Made was an absolute asset for our visit. He navigated us through the HUGE crowds at the temple and took us to the right spots to get great views and photo opps. We probably would not have found our way to the sunset location for ideal photos without him. And lastly, he had his way of keeping the super aggressive monkeys at bay. While not the sole reason to book this tour, it definitely helps as we saw a number of visitors caught off guard and even getting their personal belongings snatched (glasses, sun glasses). All in all, an excellent day and tour. Incredibly comfortable and convenient as Made takes care of pick up, drop off, and everything in between.
And since you're spending so much time with your guide, we find it's important to get along with them. Our kids loved their time with Made - he knew just how to make them laugh and stay engaged the whole time, which as parents know, isn't easy.
Totally recommend GAD and Made for this Uluwatu tour and frankly, any tour with them!

GAD will help you navigate the crowded and chaotic Uluwatu like a pro - We took this tour on the third day of our trip to Bali. Like some of the other tours we took with GAD, the guide, Made, helped us build a custom day, anchored around a visit to Uluwatu for a sunset visit.
We started the day visiting the local water sports companies to get some fun and thrills as a family. Then, Made took us to Melasti Beach where we played on the shores and in the water before hitting up one of the beach clubs on the beach for a snack and rest. And then it was onto Uluwatu.
We got there at golden hour, perfect timing. It was super crowded, but Made took us through the crowds to the right spots for photos. This site can feel intimidating due to just how jam packed it is with tourists, as well as the aggressive monkeys, but Made was always one step ahead of the crowds and monkeys, so we felt more safe than many other visitors.
When the sunset finally arrived, he took us to the best spot to watch and take photos, which we probably wouldn't have found or known about.
Finally, like the other tours, the service was door to door and comfortable. Made also gave us a chance to pickup some fast food on the way home to the hotel given how late it was (due to the typical crazy traffic), and was patient and kind about everything.
Just like my review for the Ubud and Natural sights tour, I highly recommend Gede and Made as tour guides. They're truly pros, their service is amazing, and they're so personable, making it ideal for a group of friends or family like us - there's a lot of time spent driving to sites in Bali, so you want to have a friendly and personable guide.
Highly recommend GAD and the team here!

Knowledge of local traffic and routes - Wayans knowledge of the local area was incredibly useful for both the experiences and the transport, as he avoided the otherwise commonplace gridlock traffic and cut the travel times greatly. With more time to enjoy the beaches and food, it was a huge positive for the trip.

Beach, Fire dancing and Dinner - Wayan is a safe and excellent driver who is also very knowledgeable about the best routes to get to where you want to go and how to beat the heavy traffic. His knowledge of the history of the island is very good and he very good at speaking English.
