Cruise the Bukit Peninsula in a vintage open-top Volkswagen, stopping at GWK, Dreamland, Padang Padang and Uluwatu Temple before a cliffside Kecak Fire Dance at sunset. This private full-day route mixes coastal geology, Balinese ritual, and surf-scene viewpoints.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a low-slung, open-top Volkswagen and the Bukit Peninsula unfurls: white limestone cliffs drop straight to an impatient Indian Ocean, surf foam like a white seam below. The wind pushes through the car, salt and incense carried from cliff-top shrines, while your driver threads coastal roads that cling to the sea.

History
Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) is one of six directional temples on Bali and has long been a focal point for sea-facing ritual; the Kecak chant evolved from trance music used in Sanghyang ritual and was adapted into staged performance in the 20th century.
Conservation
Cliffside erosion and tourist pressure strain fragile coastal habitats—stick to marked paths, avoid single-use plastics, and do not feed wildlife to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
Reserve your spot on the Bali Volkswagen Classic Car: Uluwatu Full Day Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Time your sunset
Schedule Uluwatu for late afternoon to secure views and experience the Kecak dance as daylight fades — traffic can add 30–60 minutes to transfers.
Dress for temples
Carry or wear a sarong and a modest top for temple entry; dress code is smart-casual and many sites enforce respectful clothing.
Watch the monkeys
Monkeys at Uluwatu are bold—secure cameras and loose items and never feed them to avoid aggressive behavior.
Hydrate and protect
Bali sun and coastal wind dehydrate quickly; bring sunscreen, a refillable bottle, and sunglasses for the open-top drive.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects skin during long periods in the open-top vehicle and at exposed cliff viewpoints.
