What people say

"This was our first stop in Ubud. The entrance fee is around 4 euros but if you want some "extra services" like to take a photo with monkeys or feed them, you also have to pay for it but it is nothing expensive. One important thing is that you must NOT make an eye contact with them because they would become aggressive. There are not just monkeys but sacred temples and ancient stone statues covered with vines. It looked so mysterious and I loved it. TIP: Be careful with the monkeys because they are little thieves. If they had an opportunity, they would steal everything from you. Food, money and even a phone or camera. "
"The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a natural reserve that houses hundreds of long-tailed macaques. You can observe them in their natural habitat, explore ancient temple ruins within the forest, and enjoy the lush surroundings. Despite being a very popular and crowded spot, it is really worth your time. TIP: just try to go at the last entry hour so you have a chance to find it a bit less crowded. Also, be cautious with the monkeys, don't wear glasses, don't watch them in the eyes. Cost | 80,000 IDR (5USD)"

"You can see monkeys outside the forest already roaming around in Ubud but if you decide to go to the monkey forest be cautious as they can be quite aggressive!"
