Sarah M.
Melbourne, Australia
"Waking up at 5 AM is normal in Bali, but leaving at 7:00 AM for this private tour was a revelation. By the time we sailed out, the main swarm of 100+ boats was already heading back. We had the ocean to ourselves, and wild dolphins swam right next to our outrigger. Our captain kept the engine off and respected them. Absolute magic."
David H. (The Henderson Family)
Sydney, Australia
"We were skeptical about bringing our 6 and 9-year-olds on a long drive from Ubud, but the private pickup and the 7:00 AM departure made it so easy. The snacks and coffee/tea were a lifesaver for the kids. Swimming alongside the dolphin pods holding the boat's safety bars is something our kids will never forget. Vetted, ethical, and extremely professional."
Elena R.
Munich, Germany
"I've seen the photos of 50 boats chasing a single dolphin in Lovina and refused to participate. When I found Bali Dolphin Tours, I was thrilled. They practice strict parallel sailing and never swarm the animals. The sea at 7:00 AM is like glass. Worth every penny to know we weren't stressing these beautiful creatures."
