Half-Day Ubud Zipline, Tegalalang Rice Terrace & Monkey Forest Tour
Combine a beginner-friendly zipline over Tegalalang’s rice terraces with a cultural stroll through Ubud Monkey Forest on a six-hour half-day tour. Expect aerial views, temple ruins, and close encounters with long-tailed macaques—plus practical tips for timing, footwear, and wildlife safety.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose items
Macaques are quick; keep cameras, sunglasses, and bags zipped or in your vehicle before entering the Monkey Forest.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails and zipline platforms have uneven, sometimes muddy terrain—solid footwear improves safety and comfort.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Bali’s humidity and sun can build quickly; bring bottled water and SPF for both terrace walks and waiting at platforms.
Time for soft light
Book early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and get softer, less crowded views of Tegalalang.

Conservation Note
The Monkey Forest and Tegalalang face visitor-pressure issues; stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and support local guides and small businesses to encourage sustainable tourism.
Tegalalang’s terraces operate within Bali’s subak cooperative irrigation system, a centuries-old communal model tied to Balinese Hindu ritual and rice cultivation.
