If you're in Bali, this is the evening I always recommend to people. You arrive at Uluwatu Temple in the late afternoon. Standing on those high cliffs, watching the sun set over the ocean, is something you'll remember.

The view is stunning. (Just hold onto your hat and sunglasses—the monkeys there are quick!) As the sun goes down, the Kecak dance starts nearby. You'll sit close to a big circle of men who chant "chak-chak-chak" in perfect rhythm while telling the Ra... 

It's powerful—I always get goosebumps. Then we head to Jimbaran Beach. You'll have a table right on the sand, with fresh seafood grilled for you—prawns, fish, squid – and candles flickering as the waves roll in gently. 

It's the perfect way to finish the day. The tour picks you up from your hotel and brings you back, everything is included, and it takes about 5-6 hours. I promise you'll love it.
