Animal Encounters

Bali’s wildlife is as diverse as its culture. In the heart of Ubud, hundreds of long-tailed macaques rule the ancient Sacred Monkey Forest — a lush jungle sanctuary that doubles as one of the town’s most atmospheric walks.

Beyond the forest, carefully managed parks and sanctuaries offer close encounters with exotic birds, vibrant butterflies, and the critically endangered Sumatran elephant. These are ethical, educational, and utterly delightful experiences — perfect for families and animal lovers of all ages.
