By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Balinese dance is one of Indonesia's most captivating cultural traditions. With a scooter you can see Kecak at sunset, Legong in Ubud and Barong in the morning without being tied to a tour schedule. Here's how.
Performance options
| Performance | Location | Usual time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kecak | Uluwatu Temple | Before sunset | Very busy; arrive 1 hour early |
| Legong & other dances | Ubud (palaces & village halls) | Evening | Programme changes nightly |
| Barong & Kris | Batubulan | Morning | Combine with Ubud |
Schedules, tickets and venues can change. Check the boards on site or ask your hotel.
Tips
- Arrive early for seats and parking.
- Dress modestly; some venues are inside temple grounds.
- At Uluwatu, protect your belongings from monkeys — keep them under the seat.
- Plan the ride back at night carefully — see riding at night in Bali.
The road out of Uluwatu Temple after Kecak is jammed. Wait 15–20 minutes for the scooter rush to ease before you leave.
