  • The backdrop of the ocean and the cliff amplifies the drama, creating a magical atmosphere that draws you into the story.This iconic dance narrates the tale of the Ramayana, a classic Hindu epic filled with heroism, love, and drama. 

What to Know Before You Go

  • Reservation Advice: It’s highly recommended to book your tickets for the Kecak Dance in advance, as it is one of the most popular cultural performances in Bali. The same goes for reserving a table at Jimbaran Bay, especially during the high season.
