Late guide and short tour
We really enjoyed visiting the monkey forest. The atmosphere was lovely. Unfortunately our guide Rama was 25 minutes late and then had to queue to get tickets. He was knowledgeable and gentle however we were disappointed the tour only lasted 45 minutes as he had another group waiting. We continued to explore the forest for another hour and discovered areas we had not been to on the tour. Recommend getting there for opening as it gets busy quickly!

Monkeys!
We really enjoyed the monkey forest. It was nice to see the monkeys especially at feeding time. They were not aggressive as long as you were calm around them and didn't provoke them. Our guide Rama was fantastic. He explained everything very well and took us to a few extra locations afterwards.

Monkey Forest w/ guide Rama
Rama was a lovely guide :) His WhatsApp is +62 877‑0288‑3134 if you plan on connecting with him, I’m pretty sure he also does other kinds of tours. The monkey forest itself was great as well. The monkeys are vaccinated, well fed, and cared for
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely review, Caitlyn! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great time exploring the sanctuary with Rama. He is indeed a wonderful guide who takes great care of our guests! We are also glad you felt comfortable seeing how well-fed and cared-for the sanctuary monkeys are. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Ubud again soon!

An absolute must do!
Visiting the Sacred Monkey Forest was a highlight of our trip, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Buda. He was extremely friendly, welcoming, and brought so many laughs to the tour while navigating the hilarious "monkey business" around us. Buda is incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the monkeys themselves, but also about Hinduism and Balinese culture, which gave us a much deeper appreciation for the space. He also made sure we felt completely safe, clearly explaining the do’s and don’ts of interacting with the monkeys right from the start. Honestly, without a guide, we would have missed or overlooked so many beautiful parts of the forest and temples. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Buda! 5 stars all the way.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this glowing 5-star review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that visiting the Sacred Monkey Forest was a highlight of your trip. Buda will be over the moon to read your kind words—he takes so much pride in blending safety, local Hindu culture, and plenty of laughs to make the experience special! You hit the nail on the head: having a local guide really opens up all the hidden temple history that’s easy to miss on your own. Thank you for recommending Buda so highly, and we hope to welcome you back to Bali again soon!

Monkey Forest!
Majha our guide made contact 30 mins before our tour, which is always appreciated. He took us through the Monkey Forest explain the significance of the statues that greeted us and the temples. It was interesting to learn about the monkey factions/tribes and how they don't always get on and are quite territorial. I think a guided tour is something not to pass up if you don't want to pass up.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a great time exploring the sanctuary with Majha. He always makes sure to communicate early with guests so everything runs smoothly! The monkey 'tribes' and their rivalries are always one of the most fascinating parts of the tour, and we're so glad Majha made the history and temples come alive for you. Having a local guide really does change the whole experience! We hope to welcome you back to Ubud again soon!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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 Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 48 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 Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided 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 Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided Tour?
+
Around 17 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ubud Skip the line Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ticket and Guided 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.
