"We were scared to go in here after all the horrible videos I saw of the monkeys attacking people. BUT! If you follow the rules, leave your bags at home, in the taxi, or the lockers. You will be fine. The monkeys are kind of doing their own thing. If you leave them alone and just observe them you will be fine. FOLLOW THE RULES! Don’t touch them, feed them, pet them, don’t bring any bags into the forest because they will jump on you and try to take them, don’t touch the babies, leave everything packed away, and dont look them in the eyes (as they take this as a sign of aggression).

"First we were undecided whether we wanted to visit the Monkey Forest, because many attractions in Bali that benefit from animals do not treat them properly. However, since the monkeys can move freely, and there are no fences to the outside, we finally decided to go for it, and we didn't regret it – the monkeys are just beautiful to look at and sometimes a bit cheeky. Price: 3€/person TIP: don't get too close to the monkeys, don't look them in the eye, and don't carry anything glittery or edible with you. Open bags/backpacks could also be your undoing. "

"The Ubud Monkey Forest is a must-visit destination for animal lovers and nature enthusiasts. Home to hundreds of playful macaques, this lush sanctuary allows you to observe these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. The forest features beautiful pathways, ancient temples, and vibrant greenery, creating a tranquil atmosphere. While the monkeys can be curious and mischievous, the experience of wandering through this sacred site and witnessing their interactions is truly memorable. Just be sure to keep your belongings secure!"
