Question 1

How do you access the Uluwatu lineup?

Accepted Answer

From the main temple car park, descend 250 steps carved into the cliff to a cave. The cave gives access to the beach and lineup. Temple macaques are known to steal sunglasses, phones and shiny objects — secure your belongings. At high tide the beach disappears.

Question 2

Is the Kecak Fire Dance worth visiting?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The Kecak dance (Ramayana choreographed with a cappella chanting) takes place every evening on the cliff edge of Uluwatu Temple, facing the sunset over the Indian Ocean. Unique natural sound and light show. Booking recommended in high season.

Question 3

Is Uluwatu suitable for intermediates?

Accepted Answer

The Temple (north section, slower) is accessible to confirmed intermediates. The Peak is reserved for advanced/expert surfers. The reef is shallow (1 m) and tubes powerful — reef falls frequent. Reef boots recommended.
