The Adventures Abroad itinerary for today was:
|
Outrigger Lovina Beach Dolphin run Lovina, Bali, Indonesia |
So when Adventures Abroad says early morning for this adventure, they mean 5 am !! It was absolutely gorgeous. It was the first time I was able to be out in Bali without sweating through all my clothes in 5 minutes.

This raft like structure looked like something from the Tom Hank's movie "Castaway".
Apparently it is a "birdnest".

After a while on the water, you could see that more and more outriggers started to join us. I counted about 50 altogether. It was quite a sight to see all these people just sitting waiting for the first sighting of the dolphins. As soon as they did appear, word spread from captain to captain and the "chase" was on.

I am not sure how I feel about the whole dolphin thing. I have seen them before, and even swam with them in Puerto Vallarta. I loved being out on the water, and I loved the outrigger, but I felt a little uneasy with all these people in so many boats, with all the engines running trying to "catch" a photo op of the dolphins.

As you can see from my own photos, shot with a Canon 18-55mm lens, we were able to get quite close.

This is the mast/post from the outrigger with a shot toward the sky. The chippy paint was so fantastic !!

This was another self-portrait. Not a mean feat trying to capture any kind of clear photos while heading back to the beach.

Heading back into the beach at the Aneka Lovina Hotel. The beach was beautiful and the water was quite clear and clean. I went for a swim after breakfast. There are no vendors on the hotel property, but when you walk the 20 feet to the ocean then all the outrigger captains and vendors will try and sell you something.
