Observação de Golfinhos em Lovina e Viagem de Um Dia ao Norte de Bali

Terima kasih kepada sopir/pemandu kami, Wirawan. Lumba-lumba sangat menakjubkan dan juga pura-pura serta pemandian air panas merupakan pengalaman yang luar biasa. Lokasi pura dan pemandangannya sangat memukau, hati-hati di pemandian air panas karena lantainya licin dan basah. Saya akan merekomendasikan perjalanan ini kepada siapa pun di Bali!

I looked for many tour packages, and only KLOOK's tour perfectly matched my desire to see the sunrise dolphin watching and visit Brahma Vihara Arama, plus the Gate of Heaven was an added bonus. Since dolphin watching must be done in the early morning and the journey is long, our driver arrived at the hotel before 2:30 AM to pick us up. The driver and guide for the day was Wira, a mature and polite gentleman. He was steady, meticulous, patient, and an excellent driver, with over twenty years of experience in the tourism industry. As soon as we met, he introduced himself and, before driving, reminded us again to bring essentials and enough warm clothing, as it can be quite cold and windy waiting by the sea in the early morning and on the boat. So, thick jackets were a must. Wira stayed with us while we waited to board the boat, which made us feel much safer. When boarding, your calves will get wet, so it's best to wear long pants that can be pulled up and shoes that can get wet, or go barefoot. Our boat carried three groups, a total of six people, sitting in a single line. Soon after setting off, we saw the fiery red sun. In the early stages of the boat trip, because there were quite a few boats, it would get crowded, and we wouldn't see dolphins until everyone dispersed. Then, in the wider open space, dolphins would leap and dance out of the sea. The beauty of nature, the power of life, infinitely moving! After dolphin watching, Wira recommended a restaurant on a mountain with a superb view, offering a panoramic sight of the northern landscape. The food was delicious, and the environment was comfortable and hygienic, which was very satisfying! Afterward, we set off for Brahma Vihara Arama. This is the largest Buddhist temple in Bali, with a solemn and peaceful atmosphere. Some say it's a smaller version of Borobudur, and it really does resemble it. Since the temple's inscriptions are in Indonesian, Wira did his best to translate and explain them to us. During this time, he also took photos for us, both distant and close-up, which was very thoughtful! Knowing we wanted to stay longer, Wira showed no signs of rushing or complaint, quietly waiting for us to complete our chanting. Later, we arrived at the Gate of Heaven. We only took a few photos from the outside and left without going in. The security guard said we would have to wait one or two hours to queue for a few photos, which felt like too much of a waste of time. Moreover, the day's itinerary was already long, and Wira also needed to finish work and go home. So, we immediately started our return journey, arriving back at the hotel around 6 PM. This day's trip was very fulfilling and wonderful. I saw what I really wanted to see, and with Wira's care, the trip went even more smoothly! Wira was the only driver among the several tours we took in Bali who proactively asked if we wanted another bottle of water every time we got in the car. We are truly very satisfied with this trip! Thank you, Wira!

a wonderful day although we only saw 2 dolphins and no food for the fish feeding, only 1 slice of bread was given for the 3 of us which the fish were not interested in.

Driver Mr. Kadek picked us up at 5 AM. It was a 3-hour ride to Lovina. We arrived in about 2 hours and then took a boat to see the dolphins. We didn't manage to see the sunrise, but there were so many dolphins to see. It was an awesome trip, but for snorkeling, they only provided goggles without a tube, which was a bit disappointing.

Both the driver (it said TBA, is that a nickname for Ketutbadra?) and the boat driver were excellent. You're truly missing out if you don't experience this. We saw dolphins right next to us, and it made me so happy. The driver, TBA, gave us plenty of free time, drove safely, and had amazing knowledge about the culture. He was able to converse with me despite my poor language skills and was a true gentleman. Furthermore, the boat driver didn't go where everyone else went; he went where he believed the dolphins would be, and as a result, we were able to see them by following his lead. My mother and aunt showered him with praise! I highly recommend it.🩷

Saya kira ini bukan tur pribadi, tapi ternyata iya. Kami mendapatkan van & perahu untuk kami sendiri. Kedua pengemudi sangat ramah dan membantu. Kami adalah keluarga dengan 6 anggota dengan anak-anak yang masih sangat kecil berusia 5 tahun ke bawah, kedua pengemudi membantu semampu mereka dengan anak-anak. Pengalaman ini luar biasa bisa melihat begitu banyak lumba-lumba berenang dari dekat. Matahari terbitnya indah! Anak-anak sangat menikmati, terutama karena ini adalah perjalanan perahu pertama mereka. Terima kasih tim telah membuat pengalaman ini berkesan bagi kami! ♥️ Penghargaan khusus untuk pengemudi van Pak Kadek karena telah membantu mengirimkan termos kami yang hilang kembali ke hotel kami. Terima kasih!

A great activity for family and friends! Our driver Made picked us up from our villa early despite the 2.5-hour drive, as our villa was quite far away. We arrived on time at Lovina Beach but had to wait a bit for the other participants. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes, as it can get very sunny and wet. The boat ride to the dolphin location was about 30 minutes, and you can see the dolphins. Just make sure to take videos instead of pictures, as the dolphins are quite shy. Afterwards, we went to the hot spring, which was quite an average experience. Remember to bring extra clothes if you wish to dip in. There are some stalls nearby selling clothes where you can haggle over the prices. We skipped the Buddhist temple visit as it was getting too long, and the weather was really hot and humid. Our final destination was the Handara Gate, which was an amazing sight to see. There's a local who can help take pictures, but remember to give him a tip. Overall, it was a good experience, and Made was a great and friendly guide. Although the journey was long (due to the location of our villa), he made it bearable. Remember to have your breakfast before starting your journey, as this does not include breakfast or lunch.

Nice experience! Need to wake up as early as 2am to reach there because the sunrise view was super amazing at 5am!

We had a wonderful trip! We left around 8am because we didn't want to get up that early, but we were worried we might not see anything. But we did! It was an amazing experience, especially with the bar you could hold onto to see dolphins underwater. Definitely recommend!

Although we had to leave at 3:30 AM, seeing so many dolphins made it all worthwhile. The driver was also excellent and drove very smoothly. Additionally, please note that at Handara Gate, if you hand your camera to someone there to take photos, you will be charged an extra fee. This is not included in the tour cost. However, if the Klook guide helps you take photos, you will not need to pay extra.
