Located in the serene northern region of Bali, Pantai Lovina offers a rare and unforgettable experience: watching dolphins gracefully leap from the sea at sunrise.

Whether you're a wildlife lover, a peaceful traveler, or a Bali explorer, Lovina's dolphins are waiting to greet you at dawn. The main highlight of Lovina is the early morning dolphin-watching tour, typically starting around 6:00 AM.

As the sun rises, schools of dolphins can be seen swimming and playing—some even perform acrobatic flips near your boat.
