Review of Bali’s Lovina dolphin, snorkeling, and waterfall tour, with practical tips on timing, ethics, transport, value, and what to expect.
“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.

Review of Lovina’s $24 dolphin, swimming, and snorkeling tour, with practical advice on timing, value, transport, safety, and animal welfare.
“Ik vond de excursie het geld absoluut niet waard. We hebben 4 uur gevaren en 30 seconden dolfijnen gespot. En dan (in het laagseizoen) met 80 boten als idioten achter die dolfijnen aan, ze worden gewoon opgejaagd. Ik vond het zielig. De schipper was heel aardig, maar de taxichauffeur was een rare man, de taxi stonk en de man was onvriendelijk. Ik raad deze excursie niet aan.”
