Go on a boat ride from Lovina beach with a captain to see dolphins in the ocean. The boat is safe, comfortable, and has all the necessary equipment for sailing. In the morning, dolphins come to Lovina waters to find food and play. Look out for them, get close, and enjoy watching them jump and swim while the sun rises.
After you spot dolphins while on the boat, you can go swimming and see them from underwater. You can hold onto a piece of wood that is attached to the boat and swim alongside the dolphins. After finish watching the dolphins, you will have some time to go snorkeling in the lovina water. It's a great place to see pretty coral reefs, different kinds of fish underwater. The Dolphin adventure will take about 3 hours, but it could be shorter or longer depending on how long you spend watching the dolphins. Before heading back to your stay we can stop at lunch stop or lake bratan temple with your personal expenses.

A great time and a fabulous guide. Thanks Dewa!

5.00We had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide, Dewa, was lovely and full of information about Balinese culture and customs which were fascinating to learn more about. Thanks Dewa! The dolphin boat was great fun. We would agree with other reviews that at sunrise there are simply too many boats and it does reduce sightings compared to what pictures might suggest, but we saw a good few dolphins and had a lot of fun being dragged alongside the boat. (The operator did get in touch evening prior to pickup to further emphasise the point about how busy the morning tour is out on the water, which was a nice touch). The snorkel stop just afterward was the icing on the cake. Lots of beautiful fish to get up close to. We opted not to visit the temple afterward, which was an option, as we had already been, but overall we would recommend this experience, just go in eyes open about the number of boats. We would highly recommend this operator to do this tour with.

5.00Ketut and his wife were absolutely lovely. They welcome us with a drink and some fruit. The boat was in a very good and clean condition. The ride to see dolphins was great. Ketut was very friendly and helpful with getting in and out of the water. 5 star experience

4.00I got mixed feelings about 30 boats chasing a group of dolphins. Everything else: snorkeling, the driver, the captain were great people and had a good time just not the chasing dolphins part.
Experience of a lifetime!

4.00This trip was good, but it's a long drive from Denpasar. It was not as well organised as the waterfall trip, and instead of being able to select a restaurant for lunch then driver stopped at a huge cafe on the way back and there were already a number of bus loads of people in there. But we did get to see dolphins which was the aim of the trip
