Wonderful Experience!
圣猴森林的点评
点评：I am not particularly into animals, but this place absolutely fascinated me! In fact, it turned out to be one of the most wonderful experiences we had in Bali.
The Forest & Atmosphere
The surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Lush tropical greenery, enormous trees, ancient temples, incredible stone carvings, and winding pathways create an extraordinary atmosphere. It genuinely feels like walking through a tropical jungle rather than visiting a conventional tourist attraction.
And the sounds! The entire forest was filled with unbelievably loud, almost deafening noises, something resembling cicadas, but at ten times the volume! We never quite figured out whether these were genuine sounds of the forest or something being played through hidden speakers. Either way, they certainly contributed to the atmosphere!
What I particularly loved was how natural the whole experience felt. This was nothing like a zoo, or one of those attractions where unfortunate elephants are repeatedly bathed by one group of tourists after another. Here, the monkeys were simply living their lives, apparently completely unconcerned about the hundreds of people watching them.
The Monkeys
Our very first encounter was rather shocking, though! Just after passing through the entrance lobby, we spotted a man shooting at monkeys with a slingshot. WTF?! We were absolutely stunned. Only afterwards did we realise he was a member of staff. I still have no idea what exactly he was trying to achieve.
Fortunately, the rest of our experience was wonderful.
The monkeys were absolutely fascinating to observe. Eating, sleeping, grooming themselves, scratching, playing, or simply sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Despite being completely different animals, their behaviour reminded me so much of our cat! Apparently, a good meal, a comfortable place to sleep, and a thorough grooming session are universal priorities.
I loved watching them going about their daily routines, seemingly paying very little attention to the people wandering around them. There were monkeys everywhere, and observing their interactions and individual personalities was endlessly entertaining.
One thing I genuinely cannot understand, though, is why some visitors insist on getting their faces practically against the monkeys to take selfies. These are wild animals, not cuddly toys! Why would anyone assume that getting so close to them is perfectly safe? Surely respecting their space is not such a difficult concept.
The Statues & Stone Carvings
I was particularly fascinated by the extraordinary stone statues and intricately carved walls throughout the forest.
Interestingly, when I compared our photographs from September 2026 with pictures taken in October 2025, I noticed that some of the sculptures had previously been covered in beautiful, fresh, bright green moss. I actually found them much more beautiful that way! By the time we visited, much of that greenery was gone, revealing the grey stone underneath.
I wonder whether the sculptures are cleaned periodically to remove the vegetation, or whether the difference is simply seasonal. Whatever the reason, I definitely preferred their lush, vibrant green appearance!
Facilities & Exploring
The sanctuary is beautifully maintained, with numerous pathways winding through the forest, offering different perspectives of the enormous trees, ancient temples, and fascinating stone carvings.
Information boards were thoughtfully placed throughout the grounds, explaining the various sights and providing guidance on how to behave around the monkeys. There were also plenty of places to sit down, relax, and simply enjoy the surroundings.
Another detail I absolutely appreciated was how easy it was to find our way around. Maps were displayed at numerous locations throughout the sanctuary, and right by the ticket counter there was even a QR code linking to the sanctuary's own app, which included a map as well. For a map enthusiast like me, this was an absolute delight!
One particularly thoughtful detail was the availability of washbasins with running water in several locations. On a hot tropical day, being able to wet a scarf or simply cool yourself down a little is incredibly welcome!
The enormous trees also provide plenty of shade, making wandering around the forest surprisingly pleasant even in the heat.
A Tourist Trap? Seriously?
I was genuinely surprised to read reviews describing this place as a tourist trap. I honestly cannot imagine what those reviewers experienced, because we certainly didn't encounter anything of the sort.
Nobody pressured us to buy anything, participate in activities, or pay for additional experiences. There were no paid photo opportunities every few metres, no endless rows of restaurants, and none of the commercial nonsense we encountered at places such as Tegalalang Rice Fields.
We simply wandered wherever we wanted, admired the extraordinary surroundings, watched the monkeys, explored the pathways, and enjoyed the atmosphere.
We spent several hours here and could easily have stayed even longer if our schedule hadn't forced us to move on.
Overall
For me, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary was so much more than an attraction where tourists come to see monkeys. It was a wonderful combination of spectacular tropical nature, fascinating wildlife, traditional Balinese culture, and an almost magical jungle atmosphere.
And perhaps the greatest compliment I can give it is that, despite not being particularly interested in animals, I absolutely loved every minute of our visit.
A truly wonderful experience, and one of my favourite places in Bali!

翻译：我其实对动物并不特别感兴趣，但这个地方真的深深吸引了我！事实上，它成了我们在巴厘岛经历过的最美妙的体验之一。
森林与氛围
周围的景色美得令人窒息。茂密的热带植被、参天大树、古老的庙宇、精美的石雕以及蜿蜒的小径共同营造出了一种非凡的氛围。置身此处，真的就像漫步在热带丛林中，而并非在参观普通的旅游景点。
还有那些声音啊！整片森林里充满了极其嘈杂、几乎震耳欲聋的声响——有点像蝉鸣，但音量足足有十倍之多！我们始终搞不清楚这些究竟是森林中自然产生的声音，还是通过隐藏的扬声器播放出来的。不管怎样，它们确实为整个氛围增色不少！
我最喜欢的就是整个体验的自然感。这和动物园完全不一样。或者就是那种景点：一群又一群的游客反复给可怜的大象洗澡。而在这里，猴子们只是自在地过着自己的生活，显然完全不在意有数百人在一旁围观。
猴子们
不过，我们的第一次遭遇倒是相当令人震惊！刚穿过入口大厅，我们就看到一个男人正用弹弓向猴子射击。什么鬼？！我们完全惊呆了。直到后来我们才意识到他是工作人员。我仍然不明白他究竟想达到什么目的。
幸运的是，我们的其余体验都非常愉快。
观察那些猴子简直妙趣横生。它们吃东西、睡觉、梳理毛发、挠痒痒、嬉戏，或者就只是坐着什么也不做。虽然它们是完全不同的动物，但它们的行为让我想起了我们的猫！据说，一顿美餐、一个舒适的休息处……一次彻底的梳理打扮也是大家的共同需求。
我喜欢看它们进行日常活动，似乎对周围来来往往的人毫不在意。到处都是猴子，观察它们的互动以及各自的性格真是有趣至极。
不过有一件事我实在无法理解：为什么有些游客非要把自己的脸凑到猴子跟前去拍自拍照呢？它们可是野生动物啊。可不是毛绒玩具啊！为什么有人会觉得离它们那么近就绝对安全呢？尊重它们的空间其实并不是什么难以理解的概念吧。
雕像与石雕
这片森林里那些精美的石雕以及雕刻细腻的墙壁尤其令我着迷。
有趣的是，当我把2026年9月拍摄的照片与2025年10月拍的照片进行对比时，我发现有些雕塑之前还被一层美丽而新鲜的……所覆盖着。鲜亮的绿色苔藓。实际上，我觉得那样看起来要漂亮得多！我们去参观时，大部分的绿色植被都已经消失了，露出了底下的灰色石头。
我不确定这些雕塑是否会定期清理以去除上面的植物，又或者这种差异只是季节造成的。不管原因是什么，我绝对更喜欢它们原本那种郁郁葱葱、生机勃勃的绿色模样！
设施与游览
这片保护区维护得相当好，林间有许多蜿蜒曲折的小径。提供了关于参天大树、古老庙宇以及引人入胜的石雕的各种视角。
园区内精心设置了多处信息牌，用来介绍各类景观，并指导游客该如何与猴子相处。此外，这里还有许多可以坐下休息、放松身心并尽情欣赏周围环境的好去处。
另一个让我十分赞赏的细节就是：在这里很容易找到方向、不会迷路。保护区内多处都设置了地图展示牌，而在售票处旁边甚至还有一个二维码，扫描后可进入保护区的官方应用程序，里面同样附有一张地图。对于像我这样的地图爱好者来说，这真是莫大的享受！
还有一个贴心的细节：园区内多处都设有带自来水的洗手池。在炎热的热带天气里，能用水打湿围巾或者稍微降降温，真是太受欢迎了！这些参天大树提供了大量的荫凉，即便在酷热天气里，在森林中漫步也令人心旷神怡。
旅游陷阱？真的吗？
看到有些评论把这里称作“旅游陷阱”，我真的感到很惊讶。说实话，我实在无法想象那些评论者遇到了什么情况，因为我们完全没有碰到此类事情。
没有人强迫我们购买任何东西、参加任何活动或付费体验额外项目。每隔几米便有收费的拍照点，也没有一排排望不到头的餐馆，更没有像在德加拉朗稻田等地遇到的那种商业化的闹剧。
我们随心所欲地漫步，欣赏着周围绝美的景色，观察着猴子，探索着小径，尽情享受着那里的氛围。
我们在那里呆了好几个小时；倘若日程安排没有催着我们离开的话，我们还能多待一会儿。
总体评价
对我而言，圣猴森林保护区绝不仅仅是一个供游客观赏猴子的景点。它是一个绝佳的结合体——壮丽的热带自然风光、有趣的野生动植物、传统的巴厘岛文化，还有那种宛如魔法般的丛林氛围。
或许最能体现它魅力的一点就是：虽然我对动物并无特别的兴趣，但这次参观的每一分钟我都乐在其中。
这真是一次美妙的体验，也是我在巴厘岛最喜欢的地方之一！
