Dolphins in Bali

"Dolphins - wonderful and highly intelligent beings, interacting with them is not only enjoyable but also beneficial for health, especially for children. There's even a special concept - dolphin therapy. In Bali, there are several places where you can not only watch dolphin performances but also swim with them.

One of the most popular places is Bali Dolphins. The dolphin pool is located near the shore, right in the sea. The dolphin swimming session lasts for 40 minutes. During this time, you'll get to feed the dolphins, play with them, ride while holding onto their fins, and, of course, share a kiss.

The dolphins perform three times a day at 9 AM, 12:30 PM, and 3 PM. The cost of the experience is $79 for adults and $69 for children. If you just want to watch without swimming, the cost is $39.50 for adults and $34.50 for children. The price includes transfers (from Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Kuta, Seminyak, Sanur; additional charges apply for transfers from other locations), refreshments, and the dolphin encounter.

For safety reasons, pregnant women and people with epilepsy are not allowed into the pool. It's advisable to book your visit to Bali Dolphins in advance, as there is high demand, and sometimes, you may have to wait for a week.

In Lovina, you can also frequently witness dolphins right in the open sea. Local fishermen on their small boats offer trips for around 50-70 thousand rupiahs, taking tourists out to the sea from 5 to 7 in the morning. During this time, dolphins living in these waters engage in their "morning exercises," swimming at the surface, leaping out of the water, and performing various acrobatics.

This activity is highly popular and the most budget-friendly. Therefore, every morning, there is practically a hunt for dolphins, with many boats and numerous tourists. However, if you have made it to Lovina, it's an experience worth having.
