Uluwatu Things to Do Tips by kyoub Top 5 Page for this destination

Watch the birds

Our guide said that sometimes you will see dolphins or turtles as you are walking up the steps along the sea. We didn't see either one but we did see tropic birds. We could have stood there for hours watching them gracefully flying about.

The main gate

The unusual doorway has the shape of Menu, the cosmic mountain of Hinduism.
There is also a fanged demon with bulging eyes, to ward off evil spirits.The courtyard beyond is reserved for worshipers.

Walk up the stairway

These steep stairs along the cliff go up to 200m as you climb up along the edge of the sea.

The temple of Ulu Watu

The temple is perched on a cliff right at the waters edge and it looks like it could drop off into the sea. Ulu Watu is one of several temples on Bali that are important to the spirits of the sea. From several places you can see the temple as the surf crashes against the rocks below.
