Best Bali Beaches - Uluwatu Temple - Free Wi-fi

The day before this tour, I had visited Tanah Lot. I had already noticed that traffic was a major issue in the area. This is because the roads are very narrow, there are many cars heading to tourist spots, and countless scooters. Everyone knows this. Tourists who stay in the area for more than a couple of days know it, and locals experience it every day. This particular tour was a half-day tour starting at 2 pm. The driver who picked me up told me that it was a mistake to book a tour starting at 2, as we wouldn’t have time for almost anything. I told him that I didn’t choose the time. The description stated that a 2 pm start would allow you to visit beaches on the way to Uluwatu, see the Uluwatu Temple, and watch the Kecak Dance show. If the tour had started at 10 am or 12 pm, that would have been true. But with a 2 pm start, everything felt rushed, stressful, and far from enjoyable. We began the journey, and after about 2.5 hours, we stopped at a place to try the unique Luwak coffee — just 10 minutes in total. Then we went to Padang Padang Beach, where we stayed for only 15 minutes. I paid the entrance fee and, rushing, managed to walk a bit on the beach and take a few photos. We left and arrived at Uluwatu around 5:10–5:20 pm. Luckily, I managed to get a ticket for the Kecak Dance show as it wasn’t too crowded. I rushed up to the temple viewpoint to see the view and take some photos, then went back down to explore a few more spots in the park for a short time. Once the sun set and I captured some photos of the beautiful scenery, I entered the area where the show was taking place. I watched the performance, and then the return journey took another 3 hours due to traffic. If the exact same tour had started 2–3 hours earlier, it would have been much more enjoyable. You could have taken your time with the Luwak coffee, relaxed at the beach, and even gone for a swim — I had brought a swimsuit, but there simply wasn’t time. At the temple, you could have explored at a normal pace instead of constantly rushing. Of course, the traffic on the way back is unavoidable. So, for this tour: If the starting time is 10–12 in the morning, it’s fine. If it follows a schedule like mine with a 2 pm start, then it’s a definite no from me. It’s better to look for another option for this route. I didn’t give it one star because the driver clearly understood that the schedule he was given was problematic and did his best to make the most of it — something that, unfortunately, wasn’t really possible due to the limited time.

Private tour with good English speaking driver. He was very informative and modified things to suit our needs. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a driver to help them get around Bali.

The Kecak dance was definitely the highlight of the experience — well-performed and culturally rich. However, the rest of the day fell short of expectations. The beaches were underwhelming and didn’t offer anything particularly unique. Our driver mainly just transported us from place to place and didn’t provide much insight or guidance, which would’ve added value. He also didn’t came across as overly friendly, which affected the overall vibe of the tour. A major downside was the long wait — over two hours — just to get into the Kecak show. It would’ve been much smoother if tickets were available for online purchase or through the tour operator in advance. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t feel well-organized or engaging beyond the dance performance.

Really lovely trip. Got to see some of south Bali best beaches in Padang Padang and Melasti and also enjoyed going to see uluwatu temple too. Driver was amenable to time frames I gave him. If you have mobility issues you will struggle to get down to Padang Padang- steep steps. Beach’s get busy so go early

Our tour guide, Putu, was wonderful. He really explained a lot about the culture in Bali. We decided to go to the morning dance, which I think was the right decision given there was a lot of traffic leaving Uluwata temple to Canggu. I do feel like we did not get the opportunity to see as many beaches as I would have liked, in hindsight I would have chosen to see more beaches in the morning rather than choosing to do water activities and turtle island at Nusa Dua. Turtle island at Nusa Dua was very disappointing and the condition they kept the animals in was sad, the cages and the push to pay for everything felt aggressive. There was a parquet on the tiniest chain ever and it was depressing. The idea of contributing more money to it was not worth it. I know this is not the travel agencies fault whatsoever, we are mostly looking to give feedback on to them. For what it is worth, all the stuff organized by the company and our driver was wonderful. Putu was wonderful and I honestly feel like we asked too much of him, that being said he was great and really helped us understand the culture of Bali and the history.

Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected. Right from the start, the driver was extremely rude and unaccommodating. He tried to drop us off at a random watersport activity instead of following the agreed-upon route. When we raised our concerns, he claimed to have a completely different itinerary, which was not what was described when we booked the trip. To make matters worse, we were required to pay extra for activities that were clearly stated as included in the price. This was frustrating and felt very dishonest. Overall, the trip felt disorganized and misleading, and the attitude of the driver made the experience even worse. I would not recommend this to others unless significant improvements are made.

Nice tour to one of the best beaches of Bali and outstanding Uluwatu area & temple. However, it's difficult to manage time due to high traffic especially in the Uluwatu area. It was a pity not to watch the famous Uluwatu fire dancing in the evening, nevertheless the morning performance was also nice. Queuing for the fire dancing (2-3 hours) is simply impossible for this tour. Queuing for the signature spots & traffic in Bali is a big issue.

Great visit at Dreamland beach and the food plus the beers tasty. The sunset dinner at the beach was terrific. Fresh fish and beautiful sunset 🌅!!

The tour "Best Bali Beaches - Uluwatu Temple" is an amazing tour by beaches in Bali. In this tour I visite 3 beaches, 1 temple and a tradicional Bali dance

My recent experience with the Best Bali Beaches tour in Bali surpassed all my expectations and left me with unforgettable memories. From pristine sandy shores to crystal-clear turquoise waters, this tour is the epitome of a tropical paradise. The tour took us to some of the most breathtaking beaches on the island, showcasing Bali's natural beauty in all its glory. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide Pande provided insightful information about each location, making the entire experience informative and enjoyable. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly Melasti Beach. Nestled in a tranquil cove, this beach is a haven for those seeking peace and serenity. The soft, white sand and calm waters make it the perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming, or simply immersing oneself in the soothing sounds of the ocean. Another notable stop was Padong Padong Beach, known for its energetic atmosphere and renowned as Bali's surfing hub. The vibrant beach scene, with surfers gliding gracefully across the waves, created a dynamic and captivating ambiance. We spent hours soaking up the sun, watching the surfers in action, and indulging in local delicacies offered by the beachside cafes. The tour also included a visit to the awe-inspiring Uluwatu Temple, perched on cliff tops overlooking the Indian Ocean. This iconic landmark provided breathtaking panoramic views, and we were lucky enough to witness picturesque sunsets that painted the sky in hues of pink and orange. Throughout the tour, our guide Pande made sure we were well taken care of, providing helpful tips and ensuring our safety at all times. The transportation was comfortable, and the itinerary was well-curated, making the most out of our time in each destination. We had ample opportunities for relaxation, exploration, and capturing stunning photographs. Overall, the Best Bali Beaches tour is a must for beach lovers and travelers seeking an immersive experience in Bali's natural beauty. Whether you are looking for tranquil shores or vibrant beach scenes, this tour has it all. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Bali, as it truly captures the essence of this tropical paradise. I cannot emphasize enough how this tour exceeded my expectations in showcasing the best of Bali's beaches. The memories I made and the beauty I witnessed will stay with me for a lifetime. Book this tour, and get ready to be amazed by the sheer tranquility of Bali's beaches!!!

The views were great , we visited so many beautiful places along the way, but just remember there are entry fees at every stop. Our favourite was Nusa Dua

Our guide Nick was really a great guy. The trip was customised according to our wishes, and he also gave great suggestions to things we could see along the way. We had a great day and have no problems recommending this trip, especially with such a nice driver 🙏

Kuta and Uluwatu beaches are so beautiful which you can try many things to do there like learning wave surfing and kite surfing and even you can spend a beautiful time with your besti And also a great restaurants area there you will test very delicious food may you will not find any other place

Having long been desirous of visiting South Bali and Uluwatu Temple, I was very excited when purchasing tickets for Bali as I was able to book a tour for the island. The journey was incredibly comfortable; we were collected from our hotel in the morning and then traveled around the South cost in airconditioned car. Guide stayed with us for the entire day, taking pictures of us and narrating interesting stories about the island. Honestly, it was difficult to eventually leave as we had all been so enthralled with the beautiful locations.

I am highly delighted with the tour I booked for my trip to Bali. It was the optimal decision I made and the driver was flexible in accommodating our spontaneous request to change the destination. In addition, the driver recommended sights which are usually missed by tourists. There were five adults and two toddlers in the APV car which possessed efficient air conditioning and tinted windows – preventing any sunburns. All in all, I am very pleased with my tour and the driver. Thank you for your assistance.

Touring the island of Bali by private car with guide is an activity that many would likely find an enjoyable experience. Wayan our driver is known to be highly professional and accommodating, making it an ideal choice should one be planning to visit Bali.

Great day in South Bali. Beautiful beaches we visited from Ubud (Ubud has a different nature) Uluwatu Temple was amazing! Highly recommended if you want to visit the south of the island in one day to enjoy sunshine.

The itinerary is great, including all the iconic Uluwatu and best Bali beaches. Our guide Wayan is pretty nice and thoughtful. We had a wonderful day by taking this tour.

Very convenient since all you have to do is to rest on the car and wait for the driver to take you to the places you would like to visit. There were a lot of car rentals in the airport but we prefer to book in advance with Balihit to avoid any hassle or inconvenience. We dont have to worry about anything. We enjoyed our Bali trip so much. Highly recommend .

The trip was super amazing, together with our friendly driver, Mr Ketut, our day was wonderful and unforgettable. Mr Ketut was very friendly and love to talk and share everything we asked, we need to go to the pharmacy on the way back and he stopped by a few pharmacy until we found the stuffs we wanted. Everything was good and well planned for the trip. My family was really happy for everything. Thank you Ketut!

I have Mr Putu as the tour guide. He is friendly and very approachable. Along the tour, he explained about the history of Bali's culture. He helped on taking photos and videos as well and the results are not disappointing! Highly Recommended !

The tour was a outstanding experience. The driver arrived early to pick us up and the car was super comfortable. We’re here for the Christmas / new year weekend - so glad that we went on tour instead of using uber/grab to tour round. The seats for Putu’s car is so much nicer than the ones in grab. And if you’re visiting more than 3 locations, the price is worthy already for book a tour for 10 hours. Also do note that there’s signed all over Bali attractions say that Uber/Grab isn’t allowed. Highly recommended!

It’s was great and hassle free! Last minutes booked before my flight to Bali and received a whatsapp text within 15 minutes from Wayan (tour operator). Putu (guide) was super nice and even helping to arrange my itinerary the best way to cover Bali in short time. Punctuality and the services is tip top! If you intend to book this package, do request for Putu in the request section ! Overall experience is amazing!!!!!

High recommended, we really enjoyed our trip! We would like to thanks our Putu (driver for 2 days) that sooooo kind & always early (arrived 30 before the said time) & always so accommodating to our inquiries & needs! See you again Putu! Will recommend you & Wayan!

Our guide and driver Wayan is a very professional and safe driver. He gave us good advice on how to complete all the places we wanted to visit within our timeframe. He also gave us a good introduction about Bali and its culture.

Thank you to our driver Pak Putu for a wonderful day trip in South Bali. He is a very experienced and responsible guide and we had a very pleasant and safe trip for the whole 10 hours with him. Excellent service from him and thanks to Wayan for this arrangement!

the driver was on time, polite, and explained Bali well. when we asked stopped in pharmacy. communication is very good, opening doors & helping carry bags. give advice on what locations are in the area, even places that I didn't know before. thank you Ketut!

Great day on this tour. Nesa Dua very big and quite to settle into your day. Melasti was the nicest views. Padang Padang was very busy. Temple and dance was worth seeing. I would suggest spend more time at first 2 and only 30 min at Padang Padang.

Thank you Wayan for the unforgettable day we spent today in Uluwatu, the places were amazing and nice, the driver was very kind and very friendly. Bali is one of the best experience I had in my whole life. Thank you guys, You are the best 😀😀

We were pleasantly surprised by his patience and travel expertise. I highly recommend him. He shows us some places where we could get souvenirs with better price. Gave us a lot of suggestions during the day. Thanks again Wayan!

My friend and I stayed in the town Ubud for a week, so we decided to take tours to see the other areas such as the beaches, mountains and snorkeling adventures. The beach tour was a great way to view various beaches which we didn't visit on our snorkeling tour. The Uluwatu Temple rests on top of very tall cliffs above the Indian Ocean. The views are spectacular and the site has interesting structures, gardens and views you can easily walk to. We also visited Nusa Dua beach, which was beautiful with white sand beaches and varying shades of blues and aqua ocean colors. We enjoyed a simple lunch at a restaurant on the beach before heading to Padang Padang beach, the monkey beach. I can't seem to get enough of those mischievous little monkeys. You walk down a staircase between a narrow rock cliff to reach the beach. Monkeys are everywhere. You really need to watch your belongings, or they might take them from you. One monkey grabbed a man's prescription glasses and destroyed them, and another ran off with my friend's water bottle. Didn't see that coming. We ended our day on the sunset beach, however, I don't remember the name of that particular beach. We were seated at a table at the sea side. We were given a sea food menu but it was rather pricey, so we decided to go with a separate chicken and local food menu instead. The sunset was amazing and a calming way to end our day. Our driver then took us to the airport as our adventure was ending in Bali. BaliHit did a great job planning this trip and Juni, our driver, made our adventure even more special. It was great to have 3 days of private tours and be able to adjust the locations slightly to fit our needs. We could spend as much time as we wanted in any particular location, and omit other sites we might not have been as interested in. We chose not to see the Kecak dance on this trip, as we had already seen the dance earlier in the week. This was not a mere taxi driver, as our driver provided us with information about the areas we visited and sites along the journey, he enriched us with various customs of Bali from religion to family life, and he catered to our every wish and took us to locations to suit our needs. He also made sure we made it safely to each location amid the busy traffic, then he would park the car. I highly recommend BaliHit.

You would be better off hiring a taxi to drive you to and from, generally costs $40 for the entire vehicle for a round trip. The driver was polite and pleasant however did not accompany us at the temple, so no explanation or background. The Kecak dance was mediocre at best, completely oversold and too many people crammed into the seating area in the blistering heat. Additionally the driver forgot to offer us water and wifi on the drive there.

Booked this your because of the raving reviews. Because we have a 4 year old we decided to book the half day tour to Uluwatu Tempel at Sunset. Wayan contacted us in advance, it was very nice of him to offer to let us be picked up a bit earlier and to add the visit to Malesti beach and Patang Patang beach as an extra. Our driver Alex was very nice and that's why I was very hesitant to put this review in. Having experience with a tour to Ubud with a different company, the contrast was that this time there was no explanation or background story about anything. We could have just as well booked a taxi instead, since the air-conditioning wasn't working either. The bottles of water were hot. We did have WiFi. Malesti beach is dry barren place, we were in and out in 5 minutes. Patang Patang is beautiful but littered and too touristic. Be ware of the monkeys (they're no joke) they will find that stash of cookies in your backpack or snatch your sunglasses. Uluwata was incredible, if you do attend the 🔥 dance, be on time, getting a ticket is quiet a task and you wanna be in the theater on time.. and they cram a tourist in any corner they can find, even right in the middle with choir and dancers 😆, so if you like a close encounter with the white monkey, that's where you need to be. I would recommend seeing the dance.

A great day out with Awi, who was accommodating and friendly. All entrances are excluded on this tour- we spent around Rp 900,000 for the day, which included entry to the Sari Wisata Budaya for Bali dance, the GWK Cultural Park, Uluwatu Temple and lunch. This excluded sunset drinks on Jimbaran Beach, souvenirs and gratuities - so be prepared with enough cash for the day. We can highly recommend this tour and driver.

I have been in Bali for 3 weeks and wish I had come across them sooner. The driver was early, informative, accommodating, and I felt safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler...which hasn’t always been the case with my experience with drivers in Bali. I was able to do everything I wanted to do. Thank you!! 💜

Great guy. Appreciate the company. Was very friendly and helpful. Helped me all sorts of things. Overall great tour!

100% recommend booking your tours from here. Free WiFi grate drivers. Choose your own routes. But if your a first timer like me you can always get a tour schedules made up for you. Here's a few photos of Some of the places visited.🙏

On our first day in Bali we relaxed at a beach which had some activities going, followed by the spectacular Uluwatu Temple. There is an incredible sunset over the Indian ocean and a traditional fire dance. Our driver Eddie was a legend! He had great tips, droped us off for dinner on the way home, and just naturally was a great conversationalist. Thanks Eddie!

Things that did not happen as promised: - No WiFi offered in vehicle - Had to pay parking fee at GWT - Did not go to Water Blow - Did not go to Melasti Beach - Did not go to Padang-Padang Beach - Did not go to Jimbaran Seafood dinner - Driver did not understand some basic English words that made a difference in the itinerary - Was not given a tour guide, just a driver What did happen as promised: - Went to Nusa Dua as a general area, actually Tanjung Benoa Beach which was not listed in the tour at all. I was placed in a sales session and asked to choose from options that started at 420k IDR minimum for any activity at this beach. There were no options to relax on the beach here because the beach was lined with boats and water sport vehicles. - Went to Mengiat Beach. Driver paid parking fee. Saw water blow area very far away, but it was much too far to walk from here. See above in that we never went closer in the car. - Went to GWT (I paid 10k parking fee and 125k entry fee) - Went to Uluwatu Temple (I paid 50k IDR entry fee) - Went to Kecak Dance (I paid 100k IDR entry fee) Things that made me feel like I was being cheated during this experience: - Going to a beach where the only option is to buy a water sports packages, because the beach is unusable otherwise due to the large number of boats and jet skis. This was an overcrowded tourist trap and I should have just said no and walked out immediately. - I asked where I might be able to have lunch, and the driver took me to Aroma on Jimbaran beach, which has seafood packages for 2Mil IDR. Even if you have 4 people in your group, that’s a rip-off for lunch. I looked at the menu and the setting, and walked out because it was simply unacceptable at that price point for lunch. I was then taken to a place called Iiga Warung, which was normal tourist prices in the Uluwatu area, at around 130k for iced tea and fried rice with a small rack of ribs. - Having the tour operator booking agent tell me that things which were listed in the description upon booking were not actually part of the tour. How things were managed once I raised these issues with the tour operator: - The driver gave me back the 10k I paid for the GWK parking fee. - The driver honored my request to fulfill the tour operator promise to go to Jimbaran Beach only after I requested a place I already knew I would enjoy by going to the Intercontinental Hotel Sunset Bar on Jimbaran Beach (500k dinner). - The tour operator offered no compensation or refund, all of the remedies fell onto the driver. The issues here are: - Misleading description of tour inclusions - Miscommunication between tour operator and driver around expectations - Being taken to places that were not listed as part of the tour - Not being taken to places that were listed as part of the tour The only things that were enjoyable between what was offered and actually delivered: - The driver arrived early for the pick up at my villa in Canggu, and fulfilled my requests to change locations when what was offered was not acceptable, and waited at promised locations for my return, and communicated via WhatsApp when we were in different places. - Mengiat beach was nice and did offer water sport options as well as options to simply lounge in a chair and did have cool views of the water blow from very far away. - GWT had several cultural performances, a welcome tea drink at the restaurant with panoramic views over Uluwatu, and a sash gift included in the entry fee. I could have just had lunch here at one of several eateries in the park, but this was never mentioned or offered as an option. - Uluwatu Temple has beautiful cliff walk views that can still be seen even when the walk is crowded. - Kecak Dance is unlike any other dance and the performers do a great job of making it entertaining even in a packed arena of people.

My driver Pak Nyoman was punctual for pick up, very friendly and chit chat along the trip was fun! We enjoyed Waterblow, GWK, Melasti Beach, Uluwatu Temple and ended our trip with romantic dinner on white beach sand at Djimbaran. Very nice & recommended package for couples. Terima Kasih Pak Nyoman & Pak Wayan for the arrangement!

We booked a tour with our own driver through Balihit tours. Putu arrived at our hotel at 8.30 am and then drove us around for the day. Putu was very knowledgeable and accommodating and made sure we did things that we wanted to do. He rearranged the day to ensure we beat the crowds and made suggestions of what to see. We saw so much and enjoyed every minute! Putu, thank you for looking after us. I would highly recommend seeing Bali this way, you see more at a very relaxed and enjoyable pace.

We had a great tour even though it rained most of the time. The highlight was the sunset dinner at the beach in Jimbaran. It was an amazing experience. We also enjoyed the food there. Our driver Darma did not have great English but he made the effort and was very accommodating with our requests. He was always there waiting for us rather than us waiting for him. There was good communication with Wayan but pity we didn't get to meet him.

Our tour was amazing! We loved each stop, Melasti Beach was our favourite! Our driver Darma was fantastic, easy to talk to and felt safe with his driving. Great communication from BaliHit made booking this tour very easy. A+++++ We would recommend!

Wayana our driver made this day absolutely fabulous! We really enjoyed all the beaches and the fire dance was so interesting and fascinating too. Dinner on the beach was superb: never ate so much fresh grilled fish, with music and a really nice contest. Thank you for everything, you made our last day unforgettable!!

We had a great day with Wayan. In this regard I fully recommend this tour/tour guide. Wayan offered us his mobile hot spot for the whole day, waited in lines for us, checked in on us in the car, and generally gave is space for the whole day. I chose this vendor because it was one of the only ones I found that included a stop at Garuda Wisnu Kencana park. GWK park ended up being possibly the best activity I did on my whole trip to Bali. Before coming here I didn’t read about GWK in any tour guide or review and only found out about it because it was visible from my hotel room. GWK park and Uluwatu were the only places I went where other Indonesians were there for leisure or tourism. When I travel I find it very rewarding to do activities that are enjoyed by non-tourists or non-foreigners and this was an example of that. And of course the giant Wisnu is amazing. All that said, the tour ended at Aroma restaurant in Jimbaran bay, a recommendation by Wayan. The restaurant overcharged us by about 600,000 rupiah due to a “miscommunication.” It seems other people who have visited this restaurant had a similar experience. I’d recommend finding a restaurant in Jimbaran beforehand that you really want to see and asking your driver to take you there.

Booked this trip and went on it two days later. The driver showed up on time (probably earlier) and drove us to the first stop. He also had some suggestions on extra activities to do, such as jet ski and turtle island. As we had already decided we were on the trip to take some nice pictures and fly a drone, we stuck to the original plan. Nice and safe guide. Would recommend this to anyone interested in seeing more of Uluwatu.

Ketut was friendly guy and knowledgeable driver. We choose not to do the Kecak dance as it was very busy and choose instead to spend time at Jimbaran bay, where Ketut took us to a great seafood restaurant. We highly recommend BaliHit and driver Ketut. All our program organized well and BaliHit team was very helpful.

How to start from beginning to the end this trip has been awesome. Before, during and after the trip felt supported valued and Wayan the owner is making everything to make this tour a success. I asked to change pick up and drop off, wanted something less touristy, more cultural, at each question answer was how can I help.Wayan personalized the tour to my queries. I had a great time the driver was very good and helpful, discreet when needed, present when needed. Wayan the owner checked in after the tour finished in a fabulous way at the beach for dinner to see how it went. Definitely will use them at my next trip to Bali. They here to help you and make your trip in Bali memorable. Worth the price you pay. This real Balinese heart.
