What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation before dawn and driven to Lovina Beach. The boat departs at 6am, heading into calm waters where dolphins typically hunt at sunrise. Most mornings you'll see pods moving through; the crew will position the boat so you can enter the water to observe them briefly in their natural routine. Expect the water to be cool and the pace relaxed. After dolphin-spotting, you'll motor to a nearby reef system for a dedicated snorkel session. The reef is shallow and accessible, with abundant fish life. The boat returns to shore by 10am.
Good to know
Bring seasickness medication if prone. Wear dry-fit clothing and pack a change of clothes, sunscreen, and a water bottle. If you wear glasses, bring a prescription snorkel mask or use contact lenses—regular specs aren't permitted in the water. Eat breakfast before departure or bring takeaway from your hotel. Not suitable if pregnant, dealing with spinal issues, or have poor cardiovascular health.
