A 12.5-hectare nature reserve in the heart of Ubud, home to over 1,260 long-tailed Balinese macaques roaming freely among moss-covered statues and 14th-century Hindu temples. This skip-the-line guided tour grants priority entry to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and pairs you with a local guide who navigates the forest's hidden corners, ancient bathing temple Pura Beji, and the Dragon Bridge lined with banyan trees. The guide assists with monkey photo opportunities and shares the sanctuary's cultural significance rooted in the Hindu principle of tri hita karana. - Ranked the number one attraction in Ubud on TripAdvisor and a Travellers' Choice Award winner in 2024, with over 35,000 reviews. - Reviewers frequently highlight the guides' ability to calm nervous visitors around the macaques and secure memorable photographs safely. - The sanctuary doubles as a conservation and research site managed by the village of Padangtegal, lending the visit an educational depth that distinguishes it from typical wildlife encounters in Bali.
