Head to Ubud Palace for a 90-minute Legong Kraton performance, where young dancers tell an old royal tale through precise gestures, swift movements, gold costumes, and gamelan music. The outdoor venue is central and easy to reach, but arrive 45 to 75 minutes early for the best seats.
“Excellent performance of the highest quality. The seating area is good but do get there early to get good seats.”
Spend one hour watching Ubud’s Kecak and Fire Dance, a Ramayana story told through human chants, movement, costumes, and fire. You choose among four venues, enter without the usual ticket line, and should arrive 30 minutes early for a good seat. English-speaking hosts assist with entry.
“Kecak is always a great experience. We were lucky with the weather. It is the rainy season now”
Spend an evening at Inklusiv Warung with drag performances, Indonesian or Western comfort food, and friendly Deaf staff who teach basic sign language. Choose Wednesday trivia, Friday tarot, or Sunday Broadway night. The ticket works as a food and drink credit, depending on the package you book.

“Don't even bother. The guide was even embarrassed to do this tour as most evenings you miss the dance performance due to over booking. There isn't enough seating and its first come first serve. People get there hours before you will arrive. We spent most of the journey in traffic than anywhere else.”
