Incredible morning
This was an incredible experience. Firstly, our driver (Mr Frog) was excellent and so friendly. The actual dolphin swimming/tour itself was incredible - it was slightly overwhelming at first as there were a huge number of boats also looking for the dolphins, and it times it felt like everyone was chasing them down instead of letting them do their thing. However, once a decent portion of the boats returned to shore it was a lot more peaceful and we had heaps of dolphin sightings. The highlight was being able to jump in the water and be pulled alongside the boat, watching the dolphins as they swam right underneath us. We also got to see jellyfish (including ones that glowed!) - there are a lot of jellyfish and we were stung quite a few times, so this is something to be aware of. Next up was snorkelling on the reef close to shore, which was also fantastic and was a lovely way to wrap up the morning. Overall I highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting to visit Lovina and see/swim with the dolphins.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had an incredible experience and that Mr. Frog made your journey enjoyable with his friendly service. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed swimming alongside the dolphins and the reef snorkeling. We also appreciate your honest note about the jellyfish and the number of boats, and we’ll continue working to make the experience as respectful and comfortable as possible for both our guests and the dolphins. Thank you again for recommending us and for choosing Saka Bali Putu Tour! 🐬🌊🤍

Worth it
Okay i absolutely loved the experience. From Bagus replying me at weird hours and being super helpful with my questions to Dewa picking us up and taking care of us he was so happy to help us and recommend us places to do things and take us for good food. Then the actual dolphin experience we rode with Roy, he was great we got great photos with the sunrise and then when it came to following the dolphins man had an instinct and knack for it and stayed later so we can enjoy more time with the dolphins when the other boats left like I got to see them like almost an arms length away which is magical and then he took us to snorkel and it was so fun a perfect experience. I’m coming back and using them next year when my friends come to visit me.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! 🙏😊 We’re truly happy to hear that you had such a wonderful experience with Bagus, Dewa, and Roy. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the dolphins, sunrise, and snorkeling. We’ll be very happy to welcome you back next year with your friends! 🌅🐬🤿❤️

Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at Rp 310,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 89 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lovina Dolphin Tour, Swimming with Dolphin and Snorkeling start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
