Kecak and Fire Dance, Pecatu

Must do when in Bali. Show is roughly around and hour. I would highly recommend seating 30 minutes before the show starts it gets very very busy and if your too late you won't get in. I would say arrive 2 hours before, this gives you enough time to look round the temple and also get to see some of the amazing views. The show itself was highly entertaining. The performers really went above and beyond. For someone that didn't really know the story they were performing it was still a great show to watch and you can easily follow the story throughout the show. While visiting do not take many loose belongings with you as the monkeys will steal them. They are not scared by the people at all. As I said before definitely worth a trip to the fire dance show.

The temple is beautiful along the cliff. Give yourself 1-2 hours to walk through the paths along the cliff. 50RP entrance fee. Another 150RP fee to see the fire dance. Line to buy tickets is long. Show starts at 6pm. We got pretty good seats 530pm facing the water/sunset but already 70% full. They will keep jamming up the arena and filling up the walkway stairs. Crazy crowded. Bench seating is tight and uncomfortable.The show tells the story of love stolen and retrieved. The fire dance is a highlight but only a small portion of the 1 hour show. The first 15 minutes or so is filled with percussive chants by the seventy performers. A bit repetitive after awhile but gets much better with more story and action about 20 minutes in. Be sure to read the 1 page story handout. It'll put context to the characters and movements. The show is enjoyable and well receive by the crowd.
