It was a long day from nine in the morning until 8 PM. So worthwhile to see so much and learn so many things about this beautiful country.

Amazing sunset at Uluwatu and Kecak dance

We went to Uluwatu to watch the Kecak dance and sunset and had the most amazing evening, ending up with a fish and shellfish dinner at Jimbaran bay. The dance was mesmerising, sunset perfect and dinner delicious. Our driver Dika was prompt, polite and very knowledgeable and because it was on the way to Uluwatu he suggested we also do a coffee tour which was such a bonus, we had a tea and coffee tasting. I would highly recommend Dika again because he certainly made our tour extra enjoyable.

Kecak Dance - A must-do in Bali!

Dika is a fantastic driver! Very friendly and patient and he goes out of his way to drive carefully and made several suggestions to enhance our stay. On the way to Uluwatu, he took us to a lovely little Lerwak coffee producer; nice little tour and we saw the Lerwak(not producing, thankfully????) followed by a delicious tasting of 14 teas and coffees. A real bonus! Then into Uluwatu to see the Kecak dance. An extraordinary experience and an essential part of any Bali visit. Spectacular location on top of a cliff looking out to the sea with crashing waves against the cliffs and another location for an amazing sunset as the dance proceeds. The dance is an ancient story told by an all-male choir repeating the same phrase in a hypnotic, repetitive fashion with constant movement by the chanters and then the main characters appear to tell the story through dance, along with the cheeky white monkey who jumps into the audience and then picked on a few humans to groom! Hilarious! The dance lasts an hour and it just flys by. Outstanding! After this, Dika took us to a restaurant in Jimbaran Bay as our tour included a set menu. Food was tasty but basic. You might be better off ordering your own fish and seafood as there is loads on offer. Dika then took us back and found a really quick route. What a lovely guy and he made our day and our tour really special, so, thank you Dika and well done! You deserve success????????????????????
