5.00We started the tour in morning., and although waking up that early was tough, it was absolutely worth it. Seeing the dolphins so close and in their natural habitat was amazing! The boatman was very skilled at navigating the waves and finding the best spots. After watching the dolphins, we stopped for a short snorkeling session the water was warm and clear. A fun and memorable morning adventure.

5.00The Lovina Dolphin Tour gave us a mix of calmness and excitement. The sea breeze, the sound of waves, and the sight of dolphins swimming freely created such a peaceful atmosphere. We were lucky to see many of them, some even swimming right beside our boat. The crew provided life jackets and made sure everyone felt safe. Definitely a wonderful way to start the day in Bali.

Our guide showed great respect for the dolphins he kept a good distance and avoided chasing them, which we really appreciated. It was nice to see an eco-friendly approach to tourism. Highly recommended for anyone who values responsible travel.
Slightly Crowded but Still Enjoyable

5.00There were quite a few boats around during the dolphin watching, but that’s understandable since this tour is very popular. Even so, the experience was still enjoyable and well worth it. Our captain skillfully positioned the boat so we could see the dolphins clearly. The key is to go early and bring a light jacket it can be a bit chilly in the morning. Overall, a lovely and memorable experience.
A Magical Sunrise Experience

5.00The best part of this tour was the sunrise watching the sky slowly turn orange while dolphins appeared in the distance was breathtaking. It felt like time stood still for a few moments. Our guide helped us take great photos and even offered warm coffee afterward. It’s a serene, unforgettable experience that captures the beauty of nature and the charm of Bali.

Terrible excursion

1.00The experience was absolutely terrible. During the trip from the resort to the beach the driver was falling asleep while driving and we had to yell at him to pull over multiple times and suggest getting coffee to wake him up. Once on the beach and on the boat no instructions were given he just handed us the life jackets and expected us to jump in the water in the middle of the sea. One of my friends got tangled in ropes that were on the boat as she tried to get in the water and almost drowned this was the worst excursion ever
