This guided walking tour takes you through lush jungle pathways where hundreds of Balinese long-tailed macaques roam freely. Your expert guide will share fascinating insights about the sanctuary’s importance to Balinese culture, its conservation efforts, and the natural habits of the monkeys.

Within the sanctuary lies a trio of ancient temples that exude spiritual charm and architectural splendor. Marvel at the intricate carvings and sacred statues that showcase Bali’s artistic heritage. Your guide will unravel the stories and legends behind these temples, enriching your understanding of Balinese spiritual traditions.

Get up close to the friendly yet cheeky residents of the forest—the Balinese macaques.

Noman Sutapa was an excellent guide.Knowledgeable, kind, and very flexible. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how he took so many photos for me and made me feel comfortable. He even took me to a coffee plantation after visiting the Monkey Forest, which was a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour!
