  • Peak season (June–Sept, mid-Dec & early Jan): Large crowds, packed amphitheaters, the most lively atmosphere; ideal if you want energy and excitement.
  • Shoulder season (Apr–May, mid-Sept & mid-Dec): Pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and easier seating — great balance of crowd and comfort.
  • Low season (Jan–Mar): Calmer and more personal shows; easier to book, cheaper options, and a more intimate cultural feel.
No flash photography sign at a tourist attraction.
  • Arrive early! Seats are unassigned and fill up fast; especially at Uluwatu, so aim to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime.
  • Be aware of mischievous monkeys, especially at cliff venues. Keep your belongings secure.
  • No flash photography during the performance. 
  • Expect crowds but keep calm. Peak season brings big crowds, but it's also the most vibrant. Shoulder or low seasons offer a quieter experience with the same show magic.
  • Bring a light jacket or scarf; even coastal evenings can get cool.
