Bali Zoo Breakfast with Orangutans Tickets Bali

Bali Zoo in Singapadu, Gianyar

Bali Zoo opened in 2002 in the village of Singapadu, in the Gianyar regency of central Bali, about 20 to 30 minutes south of Ubud and around an hour from Kuta and Seminyak. It is set in shady tropical gardens with streams, bamboo and flowering trees, and focuses on animals from Indonesia and Southeast Asia, from Sumatran tigers and elephants to orangutans, Komodo dragons and colourful birds of the archipelago.

If you are wondering how to get to Bali Zoo, the default option makes it simple: our driver collects you from your hotel and brings you straight to the entrance in time for breakfast. The zoo is compact and easy to explore on paved paths. Is Bali Zoo worth visiting? For families and animal lovers, the close-up encounters offered here are among the most memorable experiences on the island.

Breakfast with the orangutans

The highlight of the morning is breakfast with the orangutans. You sit at tables in an open-air area facing the orangutan enclosure, while the great apes of Borneo and Sumatra climb, play and eat their own morning fruit just a few metres away. Your guide explains how orangutans live in the rainforest, why they are critically endangered and how zoos and conservation programmes work to protect them.

The buffet offers a mix of local Indonesian and international dishes, with fresh tropical fruit, morning tea and coffee. Interactions are supervised and safe, and keepers stay with the animals throughout. Plan about an hour for breakfast and photos. The early start means the zoo is cool and quiet, which is the best time to visit Bali Zoo, before the midday heat and the larger crowds arrive.

Elephant care and mud bath

With the default option, the morning continues with an elephant care session. Bali Zoo cares for Sumatran elephants, a critically endangered subspecies of the Asian elephant from the forests of Sumatra. With the keepers you learn how the elephants are fed and looked after, help to prepare their food and watch, or join, as they enjoy a cooling mud bath, which protects their skin from the sun and insects.

The session focuses on care and observation rather than performances or rides, and the keepers explain the daily routine and the threats elephants face in the wild. It is an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike. Wear clothes you do not mind getting muddy and bring a change of clothes. The full option with elephant care takes about seven hours in total, including transfers.

Bird show, the zoo's animals and the area around it

After breakfast, the exotic bird show presents parrots, cockatoos, hornbills and other tropical species flying low over the audience while the presenters share facts about their lives in the wild. Your guide then takes you around the rest of Bali Zoo, past the tigers, lions, Komodo dragons, cassowaries, otters and reptile collection, with time for photos at each enclosure.

Singapadu sits in the heart of the Gianyar craft villages, near Batubulan, known for stone carving and traditional dance, and Celuk, famous for silverwork, with Ubud just to the north. If you choose the meeting-point option, you can easily combine your Bali Zoo tickets with a visit to these villages or Ubud on the same day. With the default option, our driver returns you to your hotel early in the afternoon.
