Lovina Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling Tour in Bali

This tour combines a dawn boat trip to watch dolphins off Lovina Beach with snorkeling in the same waters and a stop at Gitgit Waterfall on the way back. It runs as a half day, starting before sunrise on the coast and finishing inland among forest and waterfalls in Bali's quieter north. The format suits early risers looking for wildlife and a change of pace from the busier south coast.

Early morning boat ride (around 5:30 am)

Before daybreak, you board a traditional local boat and head out into the calm waters off Lovina Beach, on Bali's north coast. Lovina is known for its dark volcanic sand and for the pods of dolphins that gather offshore, and as the sky lightens you watch for them swimming and leaping close to the boat, with the sunrise lighting up the water around you.

Snorkeling in Lovina's waters

Once the dolphin watching session ends, the boat gives you time to snorkel in the clear water surrounding Lovina. You can swim among tropical fish and look down on coral reefs below the surface, a calmer contrast to the open water crossing earlier in the morning. Basic safety equipment is provided, and your guide stays close by throughout.

Gitgit Waterfall

The tour then continues inland to Gitgit Waterfall, one of northern Bali's better known waterfalls, set among forest and cooler mountain air. Entrance to the waterfall is included, and you have time to walk around, take photos, and cool off after the morning on the water before the tour heads back.

This half day out suits nature lovers, couples, families and anyone keen on an active start to the day, since the pace moves from the water to a short waterfall walk without feeling rushed.

A local guide or boat captain is with you throughout, and Rayna's team in Bali looks after the booking and support from the early morning departure to the waterfall stop, so you have one point of contact for the whole day.
