Description
Discover the calmer, more laid-back side of Bali on this North Bali Lovina Dolphin Day Tour, designed for travelers who want a full day of nature, culture, and beautiful coastal scenery without rushing. Starting before sunrise, you will head to the peaceful black-sand beaches of Lovina, famous for their friendly wild dolphins and tranquil morning atmosphere. As the sky slowly turns from deep blue to shades of pink and gold, you will glide across the gentle sea on a traditional outrigger boat, enjoying the cool breeze and the sound of the waves. Away from the busier southern beaches, this part of Bali feels more authentic and relaxed, giving you a chance to see the island from a different, more local perspective.
After your dolphin adventure, the journey continues through North Bali’s lush countryside, passing green rice terraces, coconut trees, and small villages. Depending on your chosen route and timing, you may visit highlights such as Gitgit or Banyumala Waterfall, where you can take a refreshing dip in clear, cool water surrounded by jungle. You can also stop at a scenic hilltop viewpoint overlooking the Twin Lakes (Buyan and Tamblingan), and visit a beautiful lakeside temple such as Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, known for its photogenic floating shrines and misty mountain backdrop. Along the way, your friendly driver-guide will share light stories about local life, Balinese traditions, and the meaning behind the temples and natural sites you see.
This 10-hour tour is crafted to feel easygoing yet complete, giving you a full taste of North Bali in just one day. From the excitement of spotting wild dolphins at sunrise to the calm of walking through cool forests and temple grounds, each stop offers its own memorable moment. You will have plenty of chances to take photos, relax, and enjoy the scenery at your own pace, with flexible stops for coffee, snacks, or a local lunch. Perfect for couples, families, and small groups, this tour combines adventure, culture, and relaxation in a friendly, comfortable way. By the end of the day, you will return with not only great pictures, but also warm memories of Bali’s quieter northern coast and its natural beauty.
