Wildlife Attractions
Visit humane retirement homes for elephants, where the animals are well-cared for instead of forced to give rides. Indonesia’s forests bristle with the activity of busy monkeys, which you can also see in urban sanctuaries like Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest. West Bali National Park also protects reefs and Menjangan Island, home to Bali's famous beach-loving deer.

This 31-acre (12.5 ha) park in central Ubud is home to more than 700 Balinese long-tailed monkeys, three ancient temples, and swarms of tourists hoping for that elusive monkey selfie. Located in the lush forest area at the end of Jalan Monkey Forest Road, the Padangtegal Mandala Wisata Wanara Wana Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is considered an important spiritual and educational center.
