How to Reach Uluwatu Temple

Uluwatu Temple, or Pura Luhur Uluwatu, is one of Bali's most iconic temples, located on the southwestern tip of the Bukit Peninsula. Here's your guide to getting there:

By Air

Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the nearest airport to Uluwatu Temple. From the airport, the temple is about a 45-minute to 1-hour drive away, depending on traffic conditions.

By Taxi or Ride-Hailing Services

Upon arrival at the airport, you can hire a taxi or use a ride-hailing service like Grab or Gojek to get to Uluwatu Temple. Make sure to agree on the fare before starting your trip if you choose a traditional taxi.

By Rental Car or Motorbike

For a more independent way of traveling, consider renting a car or a motorbike, which gives you the flexibility to explore the region at your own pace. Please note that international visitors require an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Indonesia.

By Tour Operator

Another convenient option is to book a tour with a local operator which typically includes round-trip transportation from your hotel to Uluwatu Temple and other nearby attractions.

Public Transportation

While public transportation options are limited and may not be the most convenient, it is possible to reach Uluwatu Temple by a combination of bus and motorcycle taxi (ojek) services. You would need to catch a bus towards Pecatu and then hire an ojek to reach the temple.
