Wear water shoes or sandals at Kanto Lampo rather than heavy hiking boots to safely navigate the wet stepped rocks and natural pools

What to Expect
Hotel Pickup & Transfer to Kanto Lampo
Your guide will collect you from your Ubud hotel in the early morning. The drive takes approximately 30-40 minutes through Ubud's scenic countryside, with opportunities to see traditional Balinese villages and rice paddies along the way.
Explore Kanto Lampo Waterfall
Arrive at this lesser-known waterfall featuring distinctive stepped limestone rock formations that create natural pools at different levels. You'll have time to swim, climb the rocks, and photograph the unique landscape. The waterfall's tiered structure makes it different from other Bali waterfalls and provides multiple vantage points for exploration.
Mid-Tour Break & Light Refreshment
After Kanto Lampo, enjoy a break where you can dry off and grab refreshments. Your guide may provide insights about the next destination or allow time to rest before continuing to the Monkey Forest.
Visit Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
Enter this 12.5-hectare sanctuary home to approximately 1,000 Balinese macaques. Walk through temple ruins, ancient stone pathways, and natural forest habitat while your guide explains monkey behavior and the conservation efforts in place. You'll observe different monkey groups in their natural environment and learn about the spiritual significance of the sanctuary to local Balinese culture.
Jungle Swing Adventure
Experience the thrill of swinging out over the jungle canopy on suspended swings. Multiple swing options are available at different heights and speeds. Professional guides ensure safety while you capture memorable photos with the lush green landscape as your backdrop.
Return Transfer to Hotel
Your guide will drive you back to your Ubud hotel, typically arriving by late afternoon. The tour concludes with drop-off at your accommodation.
Best Time to Go
Early morning starts (8-9 AM) are ideal as you'll experience cooler temperatures, fewer crowds at attractions, and better natural lighting for photography. The dry season (April to October) offers more reliable weather, though afternoon showers are possible year-round in Ubud's tropical climate—bring a lightweight rain jacket regardless of season. Avoid visiting during midday heat (11 AM-2 PM) when jungle temperatures peak and monkey activity decreases; morning and late afternoon offer better wildlife observation opportunities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Safety Information
While navigating Kanto Lampo Waterfall, be cautious on wet rock surfaces as they can be extremely slippery. Wear water shoes or sandals with good grip, move slowly, and always hold onto ropes or guide assistance when climbing. The waterfall pools vary in depth—check with your guide before jumping or diving into unfamiliar areas. At the Monkey Forest, never make direct eye contact with macaques or attempt to feed them, as this can trigger aggressive behavior. Keep your distance (at least 2-3 meters), secure all loose items, and follow your guide's instructions about safe pathways and restricted areas. For the jungle swings, ensure you're properly secured by trained staff before launching, and follow all height, weight, and ability restrictions. Stay hydrated throughout the 7-hour tour as the jungle environment is humid and physically demanding; dehydration can impair judgment around water activities and heights. If you have heart conditions, mobility issues, or are pregnant, consult with the tour operator beforehand about the swing activity.
