It is located in the north coast of Bali island. It’s about 20 km west of Singaraja city. Lovina Beach is well known for dolphin attractions, so no wonder a statue shaped dolphins 5 meters height was built near the entrance of Lovina area. One thing that is unique because very few objects tourist beach on the island of Indonesia offers dolphin attractions.To see the dolphin attraction, visitors are expected to depart early in the morning about 6 o'clock local time. The boat rental should be done previous day afternoon, there will be more time to select the boat and make a bid. Lovina is accommodated with various hotels with rates quite low, as the Bali bomb tragedy many hotels decrease the rate to attract visitors.
Around 6 o'clock in the morning, the boat that we got on moving off the beach. Slow but sure, we were moving toward the location where dolphins usually exhibit their best performance to jump on the water. It’s about 15-30 minute to wait while we continue to move on our boat, we do not see the dolphins at all. The atmosphere changed when suddenly our guide shouted while pointing something to the location where a group of dolphins jumping on the water. We immediately moved to the location, and some other boats moved towards the same direction. Truly, this is the first time I see the attraction dolphins in natural environment closely. Some of the dolphins jumped relax in the air to show rare attraction that is difficult to find out in the other major tourist beaches. The visitors were busy to take this rare moment with the "tool" which were brought, just to cover the scene. Camera and handy cam started to record attraction of a dolphin from which was difficult to get the right moment. Attraction became more interesting when small dolphins also exhibited its best performance. Moreover, it was wonderful thing when a group of dolphins suddenly appeared from the edge of our boat. Almost an hour to enjoy their attractions, and when the sun rise up, the dolphins eventually disappear.
After the dolphin attraction, our guide took us to the location where the coral reefs can be seen quite clearly from the top of the boat. Wow, it was like to see a giant aquarium with clearly visible coral reefs and colorful fish back and forth around our boat. It became more fun when our guide spread some bread on the water, so we were so busy to feed the fish without any distance. The sun rose up and got heat, a sign to take over the attraction in this Lovina beach. The boat started moving slowly toward the coast, leaving the location to the beach, however we got more fun there.
