Bali Dolphin Tour is an early morning program that starts at around 3:00 AM with an approximately 2.5-hour drive to Lovina. At Lovina, guests can enjoy dolphin watching at sea and usually combine the trip with snorkeling around the black-sand coastal area.
The dolphin and snorkeling activity may finish at around 10:30 AM. Afterward, the tour continues with breakfast and the possibility of visiting up to two additional places before returning to the hotel.
