Conquering Southern Cliffs of Uluwatu Coast: Bali on the Move – Part 3

Welcome back for the third and final instalment of our essential Bali scooter itinerary series! We’ve already explored the tranquil rice paddies of the Cultural Core (Part 1) and successfully navigated the challenging traffic to reach the sea temples of the Coastal History Loop (Part 2). Now, we save the most visually dramatic circuit for last: the breathtaking Southern Cliffs Loop. This itinerary will take you to the towering limestone cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula, offering sweeping ocean views and the perfect end to your two-wheeled adventure.

Circuit 3: The Southern Cliffs (Kuta/South Bali Loop)

This loop is ideal for travellers starting in Kuta, Seminyak, or anywhere in the South Bali area who are ready for a longer ride. A significant advantage of this area is that the roads across the Bukit Peninsula (Uluwatu) are generally newer and well-maintained, which is a major benefit for a scenic, extended ride.

Stop	Destination	Activity & Significance	Ride Time (Approx.)
1	Uluwatu Temple	This is the main destination. Perched on a dramatic 70-meter cliff face, this sea temple is one of the island’s most sacred sites. Ensure shoulders and knees are covered when entering.	45 – 60 mins
2	Kecak Fire Dance	If your timing is right (around sunset), the open-air amphitheater here hosts the mesmerizing Kecak Fire Dance. This requires booking tickets in advance and careful planning for parking and the ride back in the dark.	1.5 hours
3	Karang Boma Cliff	Located near Uluwatu, this is a less crowded cliff edge viewpoint that offers some of the most spectacular, uninterrupted views of the coastline and Indian Ocean—a great spot for photos and contemplation.	30 mins
4	Bingin or Padang Padang Beach	Stop at one of these iconic beaches. Known globally for their surf breaks, they offer distinct cliffside stairs leading down to hidden stretches of sand and popular casual cafes (warungs).	1 – 2 hours

Completing this final loop means travellers have successfully navigated every facet of the island, from the dense rice paddies to the bustling coastal suburbs and the magnificent ocean cliffs. And guess what, dear reader? You have now a comprehensive, bespoke Bali scooter itinerary where you can truly soak in Bali’s beauty.
