About this experience
Treat yourself to a full-day tour that perfectly combines Bali’s nature and culture. This day trip takes you through some of the island’s most beautiful landscapes and sacred sites, offering a balance of scenic beauty and cultural discovery. Begin your journey at the Monkey Forest in Sangeh, a sanctuary filled with towering nutmeg trees that provide shelter to hundreds of playful long-tailed macaques. Watch these fascinating creatures as they move freely through their natural habitat. Continue your tour to the Mengwi “Taman Ayun” Temple, an architectural masterpiece built in 1634. Surrounded by a wide moat, this picturesque complex features an elegant stone gate, manicured courtyards, and multi-tiered Meru shrines with intricately carved wooden details. End your day at the iconic Tanah Lot Temple, Bali’s famous “Sunset Temple.” Built on a dramatic black lava rock formation just off the coast, it offers one of the most breathtaking sunset views on the island.

Beware of the monkey forest
Our guide was excellent. A word of caution about the Monkey Forest. You have a guide (separate from the tour) that takes you around the forest (which isn’t a forest). The place is not in good condition. At the end the guide forces you to visit their shop and puts on a sob story about how they are unpaid and only occasionally are chosen to be a guide. I do not appreciate this method. There is also a pretty hard sell to take picture with the fruit bats at an additional charge. The temples and grounds were lovely.

Good tour
Good trip although the guide we had was still learning english and it was hard to understand what he was saying
Response from the operator: Dear geofftaggart2, Warmest Greetings! Thank you for your feedback, We always try to give our best service to make your trip memorable. However, we regret, this time we didn't satisfy you. For sure we will eliminate the down side and improve the good side to make it better. We hope to serve you again in the future. Thanks & Regards.

Monkey forest & show
Went to monkey forest via Buffalo Tours. What a great place, monkeys are SO tame. You are advised at start of tour not to look monkeys in eye, as this means a challenge to them. The monkeys are, apparently, fed six times a day so do not try and scrounge food off visitors. There is also a show available to attend where they tell an ancient story. Was certainly a trip not to miss - fabulous!

Excellent Tour
I came out as a lone traveller to Bali so I essentially had a private guided tour! My local guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, so the day passed very quickly. In addition to explaining the different places we went to, he spoke about the religion and politics of the area (I knew very little about Hinduism and he was very good at explaining it), and the history of Bali and its colonisation. I'm very glad I booked a tour rather than trying to get to the sites by myself, and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bali!
Response from the operator: Hi Becca, thank you for your kind feedback. We are happy to hear you have enjoyed the tour with us. Thank you for using Tour East Indonesia and we hope to serve you again in the future.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 123 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour?
+
Around 43 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bali: Monkey Forest, Taman Ayun, Tanah Lot Temple Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Best of Ubud Full-Day Tour with Jungle Swing, Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
