What to see nearby

In addition to the dolphinarium, there are other attractions on Serangan Island. As in all of Indonesia, beautiful temples can be found here. There are several beaches along the coast. Here are some interesting places to visit nearby:

1. Center for the conservation and breeding of turtles.

The most famous attraction of Serangan Island. Here, these ancient animals are not only demonstrated, they are studied and saved from destruction.

2. Temple Pura Sakenan.

Built in the 16th century, located in the southwestern part of the island, right on the beach

3. The beaches of the southern part of Bali - Legian, Sanur, Padang-Padang, Dreamland and Balangan.

Considered one of the best on the island. They will appeal to diving enthusiasts and surfers.

Here you will see a sculpture that is still under construction but will soon become the tallest monument in the world.

Since visiting the dolphinarium does not take much time, the tour can be combined with a visit to 2-3 other attractions in the south of Bali. For animal lovers, I would recommend the Turtle Park. For those for whom history and spiritual development are important, there is a direct road to temples. If you like to bask on the soft warm sand, I advise you to stop by Lembongan Island with its beautiful white beach. Those who love diving must visit Coral reefs where there are many dive sites.

What is important to know before going to the dolphinarium in the south of Bali? Here are some helpful tips:

  • Reservations must be made in advance as there are many visitors. I would suggest signing up at least a week in advance.
  • It is important to arrive at the dolphinarium on time, latecomers may not be allowed in.
  • It is forbidden to enter the water for children under five years old, patients with epilepsy and pregnant women (or with suspicion of pregnancy). They can watch the dolphins from the wooden platform.
  • If you're going to swim with dolphins, don't put sunscreen on your body. It is advisable to leave jewelry at home, or remove them immediately before bathing.
  • To take photos and videos in the dolphinarium, it is better to take waterproof equipment.

Every day, several races are held in the dolphinarium. Here are their exact times:

  • 8.00-11.30
  • 9.30-13-30
  • 12.30-15.30
  • 14.00-17.30

This or that time of the day has no special advantages, you can choose the most convenient for yourself. As for the time of year, it is better not to come during the rainy season. The Administration of the Dolphinarium reserves the right to cancel visits due to weather conditions. Therefore, in the rainy season, you have more risk that the trip will fail.

Who would I advise to go to the dolphinarium? Entertainment will appeal to animal lovers, children and adults. Before the trip, take into account the age restrictions for a particular program, small children cannot enter the pool.

A trip to the Dolphinarium in South Bali is a great way to relax and interact with some of the smartest mammals. Here you can not only watch them, as in many other dolphinariums, but also swim together. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves animals.

Dolphins - who are they?

Dolphins are one of the most mysterious creatures in the world. These animals have their own language- a system of sounds, which has a trillion words. It is believed that every newborn dolphin from birth receives a name by which he is recognized in the flock. One of the amazing properties, which is already a proven fact, dolphins can heal people, especially their effect has a good effect on the psyche of children. Dolphin therapy centers exist all over the world. In particular, one of them is in Bali.

See dolphins in Bali

In the water area Indian Ocean, in the Bali Sea, which washes northern shores islands - live dolphins. And if you, like me, do not like zoos and aquariums, but strive to observe life in natural conditions - you are in Lovina. It is worth coming here in advance, a day in advance, so that early in the morning, be ready to meet the dawn with dolphins.


Every day, around 6 am, hundreds of tiny fishing boats bring tourists who want to see flocks of dolphins greeting the new day. The conditions are completely natural, no fences - it's just a water area where dolphins often visit in the morning - they gather in flocks, do their acrobatic "pas". Of course, there are no guarantees that you will see marine life, but the probability is high. Our boat circled around for a long time, and when it was almost ready to turn back to the shore, those whom we had been waiting for so long appeared.
Dolphins jumped out of the water unexpectedly and right next to us, frolicking merrily in the first sunshine. Unforgettable experience and joy. I highly recommend to be there if you come to Bali.

Another interesting place is Serangan Beach, which is near Sanur. Under natural conditions natural pool, there is a fenced area for communication with three amazing dolphins. This is an unforgettable experience that not only impresses children, all adults also come out with a big smile on their faces, overwhelmed with joy.
