1.00We can't explain the far too good reviews here. It's a huge rip-off, in our opinion. Don't go there. Huge crowds. Forty people in disguise sit in circles and act like wild ones. The upper "monkey" hops around the audience and harasses the audience. Again and again he almost crotches himself and pretends to r onanieren. After 45 minutes, a straw circle is lit. That was it. The best are the monkeys who steal everything and only bribe the stolen goods back with a banana. Everyone present was disappointed. If panic breaks out there, there are deaths.
Challenging night out

3.00The performance itself was interesting and the view was awesome but everything that sat around it wasn’t that great… you have to line up early (at least an hour before the show for tickets) and then get seated early (about an hour before the show)… then sit in the serious heat for an hour in the blaring sun waiting for it to start, you will most likely have someone’s knees in your back and someone sitting on your feet, they cram 1,200 people in each show. Then the traffic afterwards is terrible. Circa 2hrs for 25km back to Seminyak. There are other Kecak fire dances performed all over Bali so maybe they might be logistically easier with young kids? And watch out for the monkeys, they warn you but one literally took a woman’s sunglasses right off her face in about 3 seconds flat.
Great visual and cultural experience

4.00Amazing display by the Kacak dancers with the stunning backdrop of the ocean and dramatic cliffs. Temple and grounds had plenty of interest too including resident monkeys. Plenty of steps to negotiate and very popular so quite crowded. Caution needs to be exercised around the monkeys as apparently they can be aggressive although we did not have any problem with them.
Amazing

5.00My family and I had a wonderful experience with Bali Majesty. The drivers that accommodated our trip were kind, flexible, and guiding. They were especially helpful in directing us to the greatest local restaurants with authentic balinese plates, providing information regarding culture and origin of the locations we visited at our stay, and taking good instagram photos. Everyday was an enjoyable experience with plenty to do, and Bali Majesty made everything run smoothly. I would definitely recommend anyone who is traveling to take part in their services!

5.00Great trip, especially if you’re on the other side of the peninsula. The tour included getting the tickets for us which saved us quite a bit of standing in line at the complex itself. Also, it’s very crowded after the show so doubt you can catch a ride easily if you don’t have a tour.
Smooth operator!

5.00Putu was wonderful guiding us through a very crowded temple. Without him and his assistance, we would have not known where to go or what to do. However, he was very helpful in navigating us around and getting us in to see the show with ease. After the Kecak dance, he took us to our dinner reservation and even waited for us to drive us back to our hotel. He was an excellent host for the evening!
