Amazing 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.

Putu 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!
