One of the most famous activities for tourists visiting Bali is the island’s Monkey Forests. These protected forest landscapes are home to the island’s most charismatic creatures, and the forests welcome millions of tourists every year. Here at The Bali Sun, we appreciate that a visit to one of Bali’s monkey forests is an essential element of all first visits to the island. Contrary to popular belief, there is more than one monkey forest in Bali. Of course, the most famous of all is the Sacred Ubud Monkey Forest, which sits proudly in the heart of the island’s arts and cultural capital.
Yet, there is so much more to discover, from Sangeh Monkey Forest, which sits just outside of Ubud, and all the way over to the forested hills of Tabanan Regency and Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest, there is so much more wildness to encounter than you may first think in Bali in 2026.
