8. Spot some playing dolphins

In Lovina, the north of Bali

Most of the tourist areas are located in the south of the island. When you're on a holiday here, consider if you want to see more of the island and plan a two-day trip (or more) to the north (Lovina) for example. On your way here (and on the way back) you can choose to do some sightseeing, so the long trip is easy to do.

Make sure you arrange the full trip and location before, so you can just relax and know that it's all arranged. You can plan your trip with a driver and/or a tourist information point / adventure kiosk.

When you arrive in Lovina, relax and get to bed early, because you have to be awake by five again to leave at six in the morning with a local fishing boat to spot some playing dolphins.

It's really an amazing trip and I think every tourist should do it. While searching for dolphins (this can take a while) you see the gorgeous sunrise in the back.

Please note that those dolphins are fast and it's more like a hunt to see a glimpse of a dolphin then a relaxing trip where the dolphins just play beside you. This was my thought before, but it's pretty hectic. But fun! And to see those animals is pretty amazing. Get your camera ready and be fast! For me it was impossible to take a picture of them.

For me, I had to wake up early too, but in my group, with most of us as students and teenagers ... well ... we woke up late. However, the silver lining to this was that we saw dolphins playing around the area! There was plenty of them and according to our teachers, this was perhaps a rare sight as they hardly saw one the last time they came ! LOL lucky us.

A word of warning though, be prepared if u get seasick easily, he ride to where dolphins go is not smooth .... its actually quite rough and do be prepared to get wet .... very wet ...
