Trip Description :

Part 1: Wild Dolphin Watching at Lovina Beach

Description: Lovina Beach, located on Bali's north coast, is renowned for its tranquil black sand beaches and, more famously, for its resident pods of spinner and bottlenose dolphins. Unlike some heavily commercialized dolphin encounters, Lovina offers the chance to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat at sunrise. The experience typically begins before dawn, where local fishermen, in their traditional outrigger boats (jukung), guide visitors to the open sea. As the sun begins to paint the sky with vibrant hues, the dolphins emerge, leaping and playing in the calm waters, often in large numbers. It's a truly magical and humbling encounter, offering a glimpse into the wild marine life of the Bali Sea.

Part 2: Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking & Kintamani Views

Description: Mount Batur is an active volcano located in the Kintamani district of Bali, offering one of the island's most iconic sunrise experiences. The trek typically starts in the pre-dawn darkness, guided by experienced local trekkers. The ascent to the summit (approximately 1,717 meters above sea level) takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, winding through volcanic rock and lush vegetation. Upon reaching the peak, trekkers are rewarded with an awe-inspiring panoramic view: the sun rising majestically over the Lombok Strait, illuminating the caldera lake (Lake Batur), and revealing the surrounding volcanic landscape, including the distant Mount Rinjani on Lombok. Often, guides will prepare a simple breakfast cooked by the volcano's steam. The descent offers different perspectives of the caldera and surrounding agricultural lands.

The journey spans approximately 11-13 kilometers, taking about 2-2,5 hours to navigate through exciting rapids, natural waterfalls, and lush rice paddies.
