“My family enjoyed our private snorkeling tour. Maha arrived early to pick us up. He messaged us to let us know he was ready when we were to start our tour. He shared information about Balinese culture along the drive and was willing to answer questions we had about life here. We highly recommend adding the waterfalls to the snorkeling tour as they were beautiful. We would recommend bringing an extra dry swimsuit for after snorkeling and change into it before lunch (you don’t want to eat lunch all wet). You can get in the waterfalls and get even more beautiful pictures if you have an extra swimsuit. A towel…”

5.Dolphin Watching Tour, Swimming with Dolphins and Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 73 reviews · from $21Best value

Leave Ubud before dawn for Lovina Beach, where Captain Komang Suwika, Ponal, or another local boatman takes you out at sunrise to look for wild dolphins. Afterward, swim beside the boat and snorkel over coral, fish, and underwater statues. Pickup, transport, equipment, water, and taxes are included.

“Absolutely incredible experience. The communication was fantastic from the tour operator as they whatsapped us days before to confirm timings and pickup. We were picked up right on time and our driver was fantastic, very safe and really helpful with information. The tour itself was brilliant, we got to see dolphins but only from a distance. Desptie this once we got into the water (optional snorkeling along side boat) we did see about 40 dolphins about 30 metres below which was incredible. Things to note: the boat stays out on the water for around 3 hours and searching for dolphins can take its time. So if you're prone to motion…”

“Ik heb de uitstap heel goed ervaren! Mijn gids was Balu en hij heeft er ook alles aan gedaan om mij een goeie dag te bezorgen. Ik reis alleen en ik vind het belangrijk om mooie foto’s te hebben ook en hij heeft er zeker zonder enige moeilijk over doen heel veel getrokken voor mij. We hebben echt hele mooie plekken gezien en het eten met uitzicht op de zee was ook echt prachtig om te zien. Deze gids is zeker een aanrader als je hem boekt!”
