Description

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.

Disaster

Absolute disaster. The boat drag you with unbelievable speed over the dolphins in the deep but trying to catch the ones on the surface. My snorkeling mask came out many time and I swallowed a lot of water. 3 times I go on board and I tell the captain that he is so fast that I have dolphins underneath but he druves so fast we pass them and aslo I told him I almost drowned. He didn't understand English and jept going faster and faster I had to tell him to stop and go back

Operator response

Hi Yasmeen, I am deeply sorry for your terrible experience during the Lovina Dolphin Watching, Swimming, and Snorkeling tour. This is definitely not the standard we want to give to our guests. Your safety is the most important thing to us. I am very sorry that the boat went too fast while you were in the water, causing your mask to come off and making you swallow water. I completely understand how frustrating that must have been for you. I also apologize that the captain did not understand English and did not stop when you asked him to. That is unacceptable. A captain must always listen to the guests, especially regarding safety. Thank you for reporting this to us. I have spoken directly with the captain and our team about your review. We are taking strict actions to ensure all boats maintain a slow and safe speed when dragging guests in the water. We are also improving our team's basic English communication so they can understand guests better. Warm regards, Indra

So Much More Than Just Dolphin Watching

We expected a simple boat trip, but this tour exceeded our expectations. From the breathtaking sunrise to swimming and snorkeling in crystal-clear water, every moment was enjoyable. The team was professional, friendly, and made the day unforgettable. We'd happily book this again on our next trip to Bali.

Amazing Memories on the Water

This was one of those experiences that stays with you forever. The sunrise over the ocean was stunning, and watching dolphins jumping around the boat was incredible. The snorkeling equipment was in good condition, and the staff made sure everyone had a great time.

Smiles, Dolphins, and Crystal-Clear Water

Getting up before sunrise was completely worth it! We saw plenty of dolphins, enjoyed crystal-clear water while snorkeling, and had an amazing time from start to finish. Everything was well organized, the boat was comfortable, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Easily one of the most memorable experiences of our Bali holiday.

Beautiful Morning on the Water

Everything was well organized from start to finish. The sea was calm, the weather was perfect, and we spotted several groups of dolphins. The snorkeling afterwards was an added bonus with clear water and plenty of fish to see. Great value for money and a wonderful way to spend the morning.

One of the Best Experiences in Bali

As visitors from Europe, we were looking for something authentic and close to nature. This trip exceeded our expectations. The dolphins appeared in large numbers and came surprisingly close to the boat. The crew was professional and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. We would happily do it again.
