Exotic Bali - Sunrise dolphin viewing tour at Lovina (Day 3, 28 Aug 2013)

I just back from the gym and swimming in my new serviced apartment's infinity swimming pool. There were no other people there, so nice that I can enjoy it alone!! :)

During our Bali Day 3 trip, we woke up very early (around 5 am) in order to join the sunrise dolphin viewing tour at Lovina. At 5:30 am, the staff of Mandhara Chico homestay bungalow gave us a morning call. We were very excited and faster prepared ourselves for the beach which was just located a 1-minute walk from our room!

We followed a very experienced boat driver to view the sunrise and dolphins swimming in the beautiful Lovina sea. An experienced boat driver plays an important role in this tour, as he will know where is the direction of the swimming dolphins and go near to them. This tour took around 1 and a half hours.

The sunrise at Lovina is around 6:20 am. Surprisingly that the current of the Lovina sea was not that strong! The dolphins were joyfully jumping out of the sea in just a glimpse of my eyes, even my digital camera shutter speed couldn't be fast enough to capture some of their movement... However, I did record some videos though a bit shaky, please bear with it :P

Hello Mr Sun!

Many other boats were chasing dolphins with us too!

A big dolphin jumped out from the sea! Too fast where I cannot capture a photo of its head...

One big dolphin family were happily swimming in the direction of the sun...

Can you see the cute little dolphin which jumped very high above the sea?

So fast 1-hour tour is finished, we were going back to the beach!

Our boat driver purposely slowed down the boat to show us beautiful corals under the clear seawater!

Back to the beach! See what I found? Don't worry, I threw this seaweed back to the sea, I won't let it die... Hehe...

Beautiful black seashore

After we had the wonderful and satisfying dolphin viewing tour, we were back to our homestay bungalow to have our breakfast. The restaurant provides a very simple breakfast but it was quite delicious.
