“We had a fantastic time. The driver picked us up right on time and took us to the dolphin activity. After enjoying a delicious breakfast on the beach, we headed out to sea. About an hour into the boat trip, we spotted the dolphins. Being able to get into the water next to the boat and see the animals up close and underwater was incredibly beautiful and unforgettable. After a bit of time for snorkeling, we sailed back to the beach. Our driver then took us to the temple and gave us a guided tour. After that, we enjoyed a delicious Balinese lunch and visited the stunningly beautiful waterfall. The…”

Our skipper Panol was excellent during our dolphin tour, he was very friendly and accommodating, we felt safe in his hands, he didn't rush us and made sure everyone on the boat was happy and having fun.

“Was een mooie ervaring. We werden bij ons hotel opgehaald door Adi. Vervolgens gingen we het bootje op met 4 anderen, mooie zonsopgang meegemaakt en dolfijnen gespot. De eerste plek waar we naartoe vaarde was het ontzettend druk. Rond de 65 andere boten waren aanwezig om dolfijnen te spotten. Wanneer er een dolfijn gespot werd racede iedereen erachteraan. Vond ik niet heel rekening houdend met de natuur. Vervolgens vaarde onze gids zelf naar een rustige spot en daar kwamen de dolfijnen ontzettend dichtbij ons bootje. Prachtig om te zien. Daarna hebben we gesnokeld en dat was ons favoriete moment, ontzettend veel vissen gespot. Daarna naar een prachtige waterval gereden en…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 8 reviews · 9 hours · from $92

Review of Bali’s dolphin swim, Aling Aling Waterfall hike, and coffee plantation visit, with honest advice on value, timing, and animal welfare.

“Schwimmen mit Delfinen ? Diese romantische Vorstellung wird schnell zerstört. Man fährt mit 30-40 Booten raus aufs Meer , sucht nach Delfinen und jagt ihnen hinterher. Die Herden werden auseinander getrieben und schwimmen ist bei diesen Geschwindigkeiten wohl kaum möglich. Die guides sprechen nur gebrochenes Englisch, man fühlt sich unwohl und was dort mit den Tieren passiert ist purer Horror. Später geht es dann auf eine kleine Wanderung zu den Wasserfällen , die ist ganz schön aber auch hier hat man kaum Zeit die Impressionen wirken zu lassen. Der Besuch auf der kaffeeplantage dauert vielleicht 15 Minuten und ist drauf ausgelegt, dass man dort etwas kauft. Auch hier - eingesperrte…”
