What To Expect

Depart from your Bali hotel alongside your knowledgeable guide and venture to the venue of the impending spectacle.

Hear an expectant hush descend over the audience as troupes of talented dancers adorned with colorful costumes emerge onto stage.

See three hypnotizing dances performed during your evening experience; relish the electric atmosphere of the Kecak (Monkey) Dance as you see 50 men brandish blazing bamboo torches and telling the story of Prince Rama and his courageous rescue of a kidnapped princess. Watch performers become entranced and step over smoldering coals without feeling pain during the Fire Dance, and then see the convulsive choreography of the Saghyang (Trance) Dance, a traditional dance originally performed as an exorcism.

After the captivating performances conclude, return to your hotel with your guide, who will be happy to recommend local restaurants in the surrounding area.

Bali Culture Experience

LaKisha_S, Mar 2024

In addition to experiencing the beautiful Balinese dancing through storytelling, we had the opportunity to visit a family compound. The experience was amazing!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We're so glad to hear you enjoyed both the Balinese dancing and your visit to a family compound. It’s experiences like these that truly enrich a journey. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us!

Moira D, Dec 2017

We were picked up from the hotel and the guide insisted on coming early. He had a driver with him which was a bit odd. We ended up waiting for the place to open for at least an hour. The show was different and also a bit scary with the Fire Dance. It was interesting to see.

Daniele_B, Oct 2017

Oka the guide came to pick me up at the hotel. He even bought some mosquito repellent for me to spread on while watching the kecak dance performed outside. The dance was magnificent and very entertaining. Oka was very professional. Thank you for a nice evening.

Yvette C, Sep 2017

this was a nice story told thru dance. read the pamphlet before the show so you know whats happening bc they dont tell you. Guy dancing thru fire was ok, but i thought he would stay in it longer or set his wooden skirt on fire. still, entertaining

Nabeel A, Aug 2017

This was an interesting experience! Nice way to immerse yourself into Balinese Culture.

Julie-Ann H, Aug 2017

It is a long trip to see the show. Plus I felt we were collected early so they could bring us to some shops/craft places to try and get us to buy things. The show itself was interesting

Frank B, Jan 2017

Eine wunderschöne Abendveranstaltung, die sich sicherlich lohnt anzuschauen. Kann ich empfehlen. To look absolutely at a wonderful evening event which is worthwhile. If I can recommend.

Rob W, Jan 2017

This was a great cultural evening, the guide was very informative giving me the history of the story. The actors were great. Worth a look

Kevin_M, Jul 2016

Really enjoyed this tour, the dance place in a beautiful temple, and you got even buy a Bintang! Very good dance, and good information given on the history of it. The fire dance section was particularly exciting. They also took us to a coffee plantation which is next door to the dance and that was interesting.

Although the hotel transfer...

Zara M, Apr 2016

Although the hotel transfer situation with this tour is a little awkward there is an extra charge to get collected from Ubud and certain hotels require an additional fee once we had actually started the tour was lovely. Our driver and tour guide picked us up early and took us to local markets as it was our last day in Bali, to get last minute gifts. The show itself is very exciting. It's not quite like anything you've seen before and there's the option to have pictures taken with the cast at the end of the show. A tad overpriced I think as it is possible to get tickets quite a bit cheaper from the counter but this doesn't include transfer so see what works for you!

This is not good value for money, at...

Dominiek C, Apr 2016

This is not good value for money, at all. The buses are uncomfortable and have no good working air conditioning, the guide was rude, the food was not eatable - very overcharged. I do not recommend this provider. Just get a private driver, and pay your own entry ticket to the show. It will be much cheaper and more pleasant.

Dijana A, Dec 2015

The guide and the driver picked me up 2h before show, although the theather was only 30min ride from my hotel.they wanted to take us to the silver market on the way and spend there the rest 1,5h till the show.as we refused the guide was visibly annoyed and not interested in any kind of communication.the show lasted 45min, it was low middle class performance.there are much better dance performances of this great traditionall balinese dance.i would not recommend this tour.

misslollylooly, Nov 2015

This was full of interest, energy and color. It was a good choice for an evening of entertainment and I love my pictures. We were able to have our picture taken on stage afterward with the leading actor. I'll see it again some day. Se sure to read your program as you go along to follow the story.

It was a bit boring, and not worth the money. It's better to watch it in Uluwatu as part of the package

Definitely a 'touristy' event but a good introduction to Balinese culture.

Theresa R, Mar 2015

The show was fantastic, especially the Fire Dance, he literally picked up fire with his bare hands! The show wasn't as long as I thought it would be which suited me fine. The stage is outside, so be careful of Mosquito's biting as the sun goes down.

Was very good however you get picked...

Lisa R, Feb 2015

Was very good however you get picked up to early. I got picked up at 4 and it didn't start til 6! They took us to places to try and get us to buy things other than that it was good,

Mme A-Marie H, Feb 2015

This tour was excellent. I was picked up on time by the guide and driver as arranged and taken to the theatre. En route, we stopped at a traditional Balinese house. The show was very well done, the dances varied, each with their own style. i had attended dance shows in Bali before but it was good to see three different ones in a single performance. I would certainly recommend this tour.
