Itinerary
Lovina Beach's sunrises are as gently exciting as its sunsets and are when participants of dolphin watching tours board colourful traditional motorised jukung outriggers to catch a glimpse of the several different species in these waters. Keep your camera gear ready as these flippers breach the smooth water surface in a blink of an eye. The most frequently sighted species are the dark-skinned spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) that are present all year round, except during the Chinese Lunar New Year period, when wind and rains are heavy and irregular (roughly from February to April).
Lake Tamblingan and Lake Buyan located at altitudes of nearly 4000 feet, this is the heart of Bali farming area, with coffee plantations, vegetable fields and traditional rice paddies covering the nearby slopes. Lake Tamblingan is important in the religious life of the local villagers who earn their livelihoods by fishing, farming and ferrying tourists and the devout by dugout canoe to the 31 temples located near the lake. Very little is found about these two important lakes in most tourist literature. Tourism is just gaining a foothold in this very traditional area, with most visitors going to better known Lake Bratan a few miles to the east.
If you come to Handara Golf and Resort, you must prepare your camera to take pictures of your every single moment you spend there, as you will see a lot of Instagram worthy places within the golf club & resort. One of them is the Balour Balinese gate of Handara-the path way to serenity. It has become a famous Instagramable spot in Bali. It is a popular landmark for tourists who seek for one of Bali’s top Instagrammable locations to have some iconic picture for your social media. Make a wonderful picture in front of Handara Gate with the breathtaking view of green scenery and gigantic-exotic traditional Balinese gate as your backdrop. Pamper your eyes with the amazing green surrounding, beautiful scenery, and the amazing background of smoky green hills between the gates that creates a perfect picture for your Bali holiday.
Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is famous picturesque landmark and a significant temple complex located on the western side of the Beratan Lake in Bedugul, central Bali. The whole Bedugul area is actually a favorite cool upland weekend and holiday retreat for locals and island visitors alike from the southern and urban areas, as it is strategically located, connecting the island north and south. Ulun Danu Lake Beratan Temple, literally the source temple of Lake Beratan, is easily the island most iconic sanctuary sharing the scenic qualities with the seaside temples of Uluwatu and Tanah Lot.

Reviews
The Bali Dolphin watching tour was amazing. Saw heaps of dolphins and Wijaya our driver was very helpful and gave us an amazing tour guiding us though the dolphin, temple and market tour. Recommend highly.
We recently went on the Bali Full Day Tour - Dolphin Tour, starting in Lovina. Our driver, Ketut Suar, was courteous and promptly picked us up from our homestay, and drove us swiftly and safely to Lovina beach early in the morning. Upon arriving at Lovina beach, we had a complimentary coffee before embarking on the boat trip to see the dolphins at sea. The dolphins at Lovina put on a show, and we captured lots of photos and videos! After we returned to land, Ketut took us to the next location on our itinerary, Gitgit waterfall, where he very kindly took photos for us and we were also able to do some gift shopping at the surrounding stalls. We then visited Bedegul botanical gardens, where we spent an hour exploring the grounds and seeing the various plant species growing there. We had an enjoyable lunch at a buffet restaurant near Bedegul, we even got to see some monkeys by the roadside in the car between destinations. Our final stop was at a market, where we bought some lovely fresh mangoes, bananas and watermelon. We highly recommend Bali Full Day Tours and thanks again to our driver, Ketut Suar, for providing an unforgettable experience!
The trip was an amazing way to get to see parts of beautiful Bali that we hadn’t seen before, in the comfort of an air conditioned vehicle with an English speaking guide that could answer any question we had, our guide and new friend was Putra. The planned dolphin watch was not working out great as there were too many boats, so after a quick discussion our captain decided to take us to another spot an hour away where we got to see a large and beautiful school of dolphins, we also got to see much more of the beautiful Bali coastline. The trip home was full of additional adventures including a temple, monkeys , lunch and a coffee plantation. Putra was a superb host at every point, his happy, friendly, worry free vibe really made our day special and it was clear that this was his intent. Thank you for a wonderful day that we shall remember
We had an absolutely wonderful time. Our driver Putra picked us up from Nusa Dua at 3.30am and was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, answered all the questions we had and went out of his way to make sure we had a very memorable experience. From driving us, showing us around the temple, stopping for Lewak coffee Putra was the best. Our boat driver was also fantastic (didn't catch his name, sorry!) He also went out of his way to make sure we saw and got very close to the dolphins! Overall would definitely recommend this trip, this will definitely be one of the highlights of this trip for us!
Driver PUTRA was great, very helpful and knowlegable, picked us up on time from Nusa dua, drove us the 3hr to our destination.PUTRA was very chatty and has a good sense of humour Dolphin watch was good, PUTRA then took us to the local temple , he again was very knowlagable and ansered many Q we had. Then he took us to a baliniese buffet for lunch, then a Tea & coffee tasting. Stopped off to see some not so aggresive monkeys. The whole day was great and if not for PUTRA we would never have had such a great day out. AAA + for our driver PUTRA
Putra, our guide took us on the most amazing Dolphin Watching + temple tour with a buffet lunch at the end. The tour was excellent and Putras service was absolutely fabulous. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everythign we needed, made extra stops for us to see monkeys and a coffee plantation and was a delight to chat to for the whole journey. Putra speaks excellent English and other languages and nothing was too much for him. I highly recommend this tour and if you're with Putra, you're in good hands 🙌
Putra was the most amazing guide for our Dolphin Tour and we had a wonderful day and got to see so many dolphins as we watched the sunrise over the mountains surrounding the gorgeous black sand beach in Lovina. My daughter loved the temple and overall was an awesome day out! Definitely recommend!
Driver took us in the morning to north of the island to see the dolphins which we saw. Lunch was excellent and we visited a temple on the way back. I fully recommend
Was the most magical experience. My driver was so kind and lovely. I can’t thank him enough for such an amazing experience. Highly recommend
Thank you for this beautiful day, it was very Nice, dolphins, lakes, temple, views, very nice expérience ! Private guide for more than half day, he made me learn a lot about the places !
We had an amazing time. The dolphins were beautiful. The fruit bat was amazing. Gita was very courteous. He was a great driver and knowledgeable guide. We will definitely recommend to anyone who wants to visit Bali.
We had a bad experience , cause all the local boats are nearly hinting these beautiful animals against there own published rules :( really sad, we have seen dolphins also in Nusa which was the reason to cancel this event and take time for snorkeling!
Our driver/guide Mr. Agung made it a great experience for us. Such a wonderful and friendly person, and a very safe driver. We loved the tour with him. We got to watch dolphins at sunrise. Yes, it gets a bit crowded with other boats chasing around the dolphins too. But be assured that you'll get to see dolphins and you'll be able to take good photographs of them too (without the other boats being included in the frame). At the end of the trip was a nice buffet lunch (already covered in the price), which included all cuisines - Asian, Italian, western, and Indian. It was a very filling lunch. Overall a very pleasant experience!
It's a good trip, they covered all entrance and parking fees as mentioned. Dolphin safari is crowded, with other boats from other tour operators also chasing around the dolphins. But then, you'll get to see dolphins. So, choose accordingly. Handara Gate is a bit overrated. Rest of the places are good. And the buffet lunch at the end of the tour was very good! Very filling. Indian, asian and western, all cuisines were there for the lunch. The driver - Agung- was a nice helpful man, too.
To start with our driver was DANGEROUS ! Over tired nearly asleep at the wheel swerving around mountainous roads and driving crazily fast. We arrived late, the last boat out and then the first boat back. The boat captain was nice guy but then charge us to be taken to the snorkelling area we had to pay extra to feed the fish! After leaving the beach we headed towards the 'gates of heaven ' here the driver refused to pay car parking fees so we say in the car and 'sees them. Next to the temple on the lake after driving straight past the.monkeys ! . Again driver did not pay admission for us to go.into temple but we could walk around e the gardens ,then we were given 500 rupeer to pay for a terrible buffet that cost 120rupee r per person. This trip states things included but nothing was apart the trip out to sea. We have gone on a number of trips in Bali but this was a complete rip off and would advise people to not book it. It could cost more than money with this driver if he did fall asleep at the wheel. See if the dolphins is wonderful and worth it but to with someone else
The dolphins and sunrise were amazing but the rest of the trip is a waste of time and money. Opt only for the dolphin tour next time.
Seeing the dolphins was lovely. I went with this image of watching them play just off the boat. Instead there were 50 to 100 boats all chasing them around. I guess they wouldnt come to the bay is they were distressed by this. The additional bits to the tour could just be left off. The lakes didnt really add anything to the experience. Handara gate has the sun directly behind it at the time you arrive making decent photographs difficult. The rest of the tour is a little chilly as you are at altitude so would recommend a light jacket.
This tour was great, lots of scenic and breathtaking views with lots of culture and history. The sunrise dolpin watching was the highlight of the trip for me, was beyond beautiful. The whole tour was great and eventful overall, would recommend to anyone.
Unique experience with friendly staff. The problem is the huge amount of boats chasing dolphins in our area alone I counted more than 100 boats!! It is not pleasant to see these dolphins attacked by a horde of boats. I would suggest to drastically decrease the number of boats that daily offer the experience
