Note
Please note: This moderate activity excursion involves approximately 700 meters of walking with some inclines and on some uneven surfaces, cobblestones, and grass. Guests will need to navigate steps, some of which are big and with no handrail. There will be periods of standing on both paved and unpaved surfaces. For this reason, it is not suitable for guests with limited mobility or confined guests. Lightweight, comfortable, clothing with sturdy, flat, closed-toe walking shoes and a sun protective hat are recommended. Everyone must wear a sarong and sash to enter the temple, which will be provided by tour operator. Bring sun protection and insect repellant. No beverages or meals are provided; water on the bus is available.
For your own safety please don’t touch or disturb the monkeys because their reactions are unpredictable. Especially be aware around baby monkeys, they may seem harmless, but their mothers are very defensive of them. Please take care of your personal belongings or leave them onboard if not necessary (sunglasses, earrings, jewelry, etc). The order of sights seen may vary. Infrastructure in Bali is basic, and local conditions may be challenging. Vehicles, Tour Guides, Hotels, Restaurants, equipment, and services are the best available in the area but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. Although English is very popular language in Bali, local Tour Guides tend to have a strong accent. Therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Expect crows, delays, and local traffic; which may impact the duration of your tour.
