Description
This Lovina Dolphin Sunrise & North Bali Scenic Full-Day Tour is designed for travelers who want to experience a different side of Bali in one relaxing day. Instead of staying only in the busy south, you will travel to the peaceful north coast where the sea is calm, the beaches are volcanic black sand, and the atmosphere is quiet and natural. The main highlight of this tour is the early morning boat trip to see wild dolphins at Lovina Beach, combined with beautiful mountain and lake views on the way back. This package is perfect for couples, families, and small groups who want a simple, well-planned schedule without rushing from place to place.
During the tour, you will start before sunrise and head to Lovina Beach, where a local boat will take you out to the open sea to watch dolphins in their natural habitat. As the sun rises, you can see the dolphins swimming, jumping, and playing around the boat, creating a magical and peaceful moment. After the dolphin activity, you will have free time to relax, take photos, or enjoy a simple breakfast at the beach area. The journey continues with a visit to beautiful highland spots, including the famous Handara Gate for iconic photos, and Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, a floating temple on Lake Beratan surrounded by cool mountain air.
This tour offers great value because it already includes private air-conditioned transport, a professional driver, boat tickets for dolphin watching, entrance tickets to selected attractions, mineral water, and a set lunch at a local restaurant. You do not need to worry about arranging transport or tickets by yourself; everything is arranged in one easy package. The route is carefully planned so you can enjoy the sunrise at Lovina, take photos at Handara Gate, and explore Ulun Danu Beratan Temple at a comfortable pace. At the end of the day, you will return to your hotel with beautiful memories of dolphins at sunrise, stunning lake views, and the calm atmosphere of North Bali that is very different from the busy tourist areas.
