Lovina Beach

Tourist attraction
★ 4.9 (3K+ reviews) • 25K+ booked
Lovina Beach is a beautiful destination on the northern coast of Bali, Indonesia. Unlike the busier beaches in southern Bali, Lovina Beach is more relaxed and perfect for chilling out. One of the coolest things to do there is watch dolphins. You can get on a local boat early in the morning to see these playful animals swimming around. The beach is also great for snorkeling and diving because the water is clear and full of colorful marine life. At night, you might even see bioluminescent plankton that makes the ocean glow. Lovina is just about two hours from Bali's main airport, making it an easy escape where you can enjoy the quieter side of the island. It's the perfect spot for a dreamy vacation on the northern coast!

Absolutely fantastic! Our driver was wonderful, arriving right on time to take us to the beach. He was already waiting for us when we got back to shore. On the way back, he took us to eat and even helped us buy the things we needed. Seeing the pods of dolphins in the sea was incredibly romantic. The captain was very responsible, taking us to see the sunrise, chase dolphins, and snorkel. He was smiling the whole time and helped our children to snorkel successfully. It was an early start, but it was all worth it.

We had Kadek Sugiarta from Billy's team as our guide, and he made our trip truly memorable. He contacted us in advance, guided us well throughout the journey, provided water bottles, and was always polite and respectful. He is also an excellent driver. At Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, we arrived a bit late, but Kadek waited patiently. He even got in line for the tickets himself while making sure we were seated comfortably. Small gestures like these really made our experience so much better. The dolphin watching and snorkeling experience was unforgettable. We were able to see many dolphins in their natural habitat—it’s nothing like watching them in a zoo. Chasing them in the open sea was thrilling, and all the boat staff were amazing and supportive. My wife doesn’t know how to swim, but with their help, she felt safe and was able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably. Overall, everything was well-organized, safe, and enjoyable. I highly recommend Kadek and Billy’s team for anyone visiting Bali!

My dolphin-watching trip was a lot of fun. My driver, Kadek Sugiarta, picked us up on time and had water ready for us. He drove us to our destination safely. I had also booked this trip with a visit to Gitgit Waterfall. My friend couldn't go, so the driver took me for a walk and took some beautiful photos for me. I had a great experience on this trip.

Mr Putra was exceptionally good with his service to guide us with our trip to Lovina Island for dolphin watching and to Gigit Waterfall. He was very punctual to pick us up at our villa and continuously drove all the way to Lovina. He is a great guide which should be given a raise for his service and effort. We loved and enjoyed our trip with Mr Putra.

Overall, the trip was fantastic. Ah Liang, our Mandarin-speaking driver and local guide, was very chatty. Watching the sunrise and chasing dolphins were unforgettable experiences that left us with wonderful memories. Jiji Waterfall was especially magnificent, with its abundant and clear water, making it a perfect spot for rejuvenating your mind, body, and soul.

We departed from Ubud, and the driver contacted us a day in advance to confirm the pickup location and was punctual. Although the journey to the beach took 2-3 hours, the driver was consistently friendly and drove safely. Special thanks and praise to the driver for their excellent service! Upon arrival at the beach, everything went smoothly for the boat trip. The captain was experienced and ensured we saw dolphins multiple times! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely choose this again if I have the chance!
