What to expect

You'll start at the Monkey Forest where hundreds of macaques inhabit temple ruins and forest canopy—bring sunglasses and secure loose items. The sanctuary is genuinely wild; monkeys are unpredictable but habituated to visitors. Mid-morning moves to Cretya, an elevated restaurant where you'll eat among rice fields (bring your own food or pay à la carte). Afternoon concludes at Tegenungan Waterfall, a popular spot where you can wade and swim in the cool pool. The full day involves moderate walking, temple steps, and water activities.

Good to know

Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have heart conditions. Children under 18 cannot use the pool at Cretya. Bring swimwear, towel, insect repellent, and cash for meals. Waterfall footwear recommended. Monkeys may approach aggressively if provoked; follow sanctuary rules.
