I'm glad we went to the monkey forest in Ubud - we ended up getting some great pictures with the monkeys on us. We got to see babies too which was neat. We only had 2 'close calls' with the monkeys - first when one grabbed my finger and the banana at the same time, I tried to pull my... more

I am a little bit surprised to see that this is the #1 attraction in Ubud. Yes, it is interesting, yes you can go, yes you will see monkeys all around, yes you should be careful and follow closely the written advices. However, I believe that trekking into the local rice paddies, checking on the local culture, wood carving, arts,... more

All I have to say is that I wish I could sit there everyday and interact with the monkeys. We were able to go twice while in Ubud. We are going back to bali next month I can not wait. They are amazingly smart so just keep your stuff in your pockets. They steal things like hats and won't give... more

We hired a taxi for the day to see the Volcano, rice terraces and finally the Monkey Forest. If you have read any of our other reviews about Bali, then you might be surprised that we actually enjoyed this! For starters, in Ubud we DID NOT get pestered by the locals. There was someone selling cheap bananas to feed the... more
