An evening to book
Kecak and fire dance tickets in Ubud save you the queue at the door. The prices quoted come from resellers, not official rates: the venue may display others.
Getting home
There is little public transport at night: arrange a driver or an app ride, and settle the return before the dance. To go out later, see nightlife in Bali.
FAQ
Which show should I choose? Legong is gentler, Kecak more spectacular with the fire.
When should I arrive? Half an hour early, so about 7pm for a 7:30pm show.
Does Ubud have real nightlife? It is quiet: bars open late, but club life is more in Canggu and Seminyak.
