Located in Ungasan, South Bali, GWK Cultural Park is home to one of the tallest statues in the world, the magnificent Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue.
The monument represents Lord Vishnu riding the mythical bird Garuda, symbolizing wisdom, protection, and harmony in Hindu belief. Designed by renowned Balinese sculptor I Nyoman Nuarta, the giant statue has become one of Bali’s cultural landmarks. Standing approximately 120 meters high, the statue can be seen from several areas across South Bali.
GWK is an excellent place to learn more about Indonesian culture before continuing the journey to the famous cliffside temple in Uluwatu.
2. Explore the Sacred Uluwatu Temple
The next stop on the Uluwatu temple tour is the iconic Uluwatu Temple itself.
Known locally as Pura Luhur Uluwatu, this sacred Hindu temple is built on top of a steep cliff approximately 70 meters above the Indian Ocean. The location offers some of the most spectacular coastal views in Bali, especially during sunset.
The name “Uluwatu” comes from two Balinese words: “Ulu” meaning edge or top and “Watu” meaning rock. Together, the name describes the temple’s dramatic setting on the edge of a rocky cliff facing the ocean.

Uluwatu Temple is considered one of Bali’s six main spiritual temples, also known as Sad Kahyangan Temples. It plays an important role in Balinese Hindu culture and is believed to protect the island from negative forces coming from the southwest direction.
Besides its spiritual significance, the temple is also famous for:
- Incredible sunset scenery
- Ocean cliff viewpoints
- Traditional Balinese architecture
- Peaceful cultural atmosphere
- Wild monkeys living around the temple area
Visitors are advised to keep personal belongings secure because the monkeys are known for being playful and curious.
Walking around the temple area while listening to the sound of crashing waves creates a peaceful and unforgettable Uluwatu sunset experience.
3. Watch the Spectacular Uluwatu Kecak and Fire Dance
One of the biggest highlights of the tour is watching the famous Uluwatu fire dance performance near the temple.
The Uluwatu kecak dance takes place in an open-air amphitheater facing the ocean, making it one of the most unique cultural performances in Bali.
The show usually begins shortly before sunset, allowing visitors to enjoy the changing colors of the evening sky while watching the performance. Unlike other Balinese dances, Kecak dance does not use traditional musical instruments. Instead, dozens of performers create rhythmic chanting sounds by repeatedly saying “cak cak cak” while moving their hands and bodies in synchronized motion.
The story performed in the dance is based on the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana. It tells the story of Prince Rama fighting to rescue his wife Sita from the evil king Ravana with the help of Hanuman and the monkey army.
The combination of:
- Traditional chanting
- Fire performance
- Dramatic storytelling
- Ocean sunset backdrop
makes the Uluwatu fire show one of the best cultural attractions in Bali.
During certain scenes, performers interact with fire in a trance-like state, creating a thrilling atmosphere for the audience. The dramatic sunset behind the stage makes the entire performance even more memorable.
