One of the highlights of this excursion is the opportunity to witness a traditional display of Kecak dance, regularly performed at Uluwatu. This dance features up to 100 male performers who form a circle and sway and chant to hypnotic music. Following the performance, continue to the seductive crescent of white sand and blue sea that is Jimbaran Bay.
