A wonderful experience characterized by a peaceful and respectful environment. The temple architecture and lush flora are stunning to see up close. It is a beautiful place to quietly observe the wildlife in their natural habitat while enjoying the tranquil surroundings. ✨
Our guide Gede was great & an asset to your organisation. He was very approachable, interesting, kind, answered all our questions, he's very knowledgable about the monkeys, the forest, the temples & took time to explain the Balinese culture. Brilliant experience with a lovely guide. Thank you Gede.
A really nice and relaxing afternoon with my host and tour guide. He is so kind and knowledgeable about all in the park and even we talked about the religions and the temples around. Strongly recommend him and the tour.
We Had Made as our tour guide he was really informative throughout the whole tour not only about the monkeys but also the culture surrounding the forest. Highly recommended
I had an exceptional experience with Ayu. She arrived early, was incredibly knowledgeable, and shared fascinating stories about Balinese culture. Spending the day with her felt like catching up with a good friend. Both activities were wonderful, the luwak coffee was delicious, and exploring the Monkey Forest was a magical chance to enjoy nature and admire the beautiful animals.
The Sacred Monkey Forest is pure magic — peaceful, ancient, and full of life. Ketut was an exceptional guide: kind, knowledgeable, and patient. He shared the history and meaning behind the temples and made the whole experience feel personal and special. I went alone but never once felt out of place. Truly unforgettable.
Made, my guide was very flexible and enthusiastic to show me the best of Ubud, when rain meant the monkey sanctuary was closed. We instead visited a waterfall and the rice terraces. The jungle swing included in my booking was amazing, but even better was the coffee plantation where the swing was based. I was able to taste different teas and coffees and talked through each of them. The massage id added on to the booking was amazing. A perfect finish to a lovely day
